In case you haven't seen this site parodying the Office of Homeland Security's safety guide. I've been forwarded this site a few times already, so I'm sure people are talking about it.
Sometimes I think that my life is like a light switch. Either it's on (everything happening at once) or it's off (nothing happening). I'm worried that with the war starting in 2 days my life is going to be hell in the airport. That's the way it always is with my life. The day the US starting bombing the Al-Qaeda, I flew from LA to SF, and I remember the airport being quite militant. Anyways, I'm sure it'll be an experience. My writer's mind is already putting together these crazy what-if type scenarios about random acts of terrorism and the like -- you know, like the book "After the Bomb", which is the story of a teen trying to make sense of his life in the aftermath of an accidental nuclear explosion. I remember reading that book back in the 7th grade, which was probably around the last time it was published. I remember it being a good book. Here's an interesting vision from my imagination: I'm in Chicago. I'm hanging out with my friend when suddenly terrorism strikes, and he gets paged to come to the hospital immediately. I spend the next few days in Chicago assisting at the hospital, just because people need help. Well, that's one possibility anyways. Most likely it will be entirely uneventful and I will be able enjoy myself in the Windy City. I wonder how cold it gets there.
My day tomorrow starts early with a dentist appointment, and ends late with a project at work. Wednesday it's another late day due to tutoring. Early A.M. on Thursday I fly out, which means early to bed on Wednesday night. And somehow, I will need to find the time to take care of everything that needs to be done before I leave.
I know this is late posting, but for Lent, I gave up procrastination. Trying to live without putting things off is rough, it's definitely a different lifestyle than I'm used to. I'm sure I'm taking it to an extreme, since the opposite of procrastination is to just do everything now. Not putting off things can definitely be advantageous in some cases though (Should I procrastinate on buying this? Well, I did give up putting things off....)
