Tuesday's Tragic Truths

1.  I have been feeling super lazy for the last little..  no, make that LONG.. time.  I barely have the energy to get up off of the couch.  It doesn't help that there are many TV shows to watch, thanks to the internet.  Ever watch "Breaking Bad"?  It's addicting.  And don't get me started on "Dexter"..

2.  I think my artistic spark has died.  I no longer paint, barely draw, and have a Bamboo drawing tablet that I've used twice in the last year.  I have no idea how to get back into it.  That's a lie..  I do have one idea:  cancel my internet connection.  (I suspect this might work, but I'm half afraid!)

3.  I have all of these novel ideas floating in my head.  Again, no creativity or will to write.  I've heard that Stephen King locks himself in a plain room when he really needs to write.  I'm not sure this would work for me because I'm fantastic at disappearing into a story in my head.  I would probably just do this and not write anything at all.

4.  I want to get a gym membership.  I want to take some yoga and dance classes.  I have no idea what I'm waiting for.

5.  I found a recently launched website relating to the cancer that I had as a kid.  It has a section on "Late Effects" regarding the things to watch for in the future.  I had no idea that I was at risk for so many things, or that I have certain conditions strictly as a result of my treatment.  Man.  Something else to supposedly worry about.  Why was I not informed?

6.  I need to start seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses like I used to.  I realize that I would then be more naive, but naivety seems very comforting sometimes.

----------------------------------------------

Sorry for the negative post.  It's actually my attempt at stirring myself into action.  Get off that couch!  Get to the gym!  Start looking at the bright side of things!  :)

I've been fighting an addiction to the internet for a while. For the second part of my christmas holiday, I turned off my computer and only turned it on when I really needed to do something (like research for a sunday school lesson). It really helped me kick the habit of wanting to turn it on everyday and read blogs/watch tv/WASTE TIME. I dunno if it would work for you, but maybe give yourself a time limit or a time to shut off the laptop, no matter what. <3
