I have two essays, two exams and two scripts due within the next few weeks and I’m killing time in the library(of all places). And no, I don’t feel guilty for the extra cubic pounds of stress I’m forcing upon my future self. Heres why:
For a start, my future self is an asshole and probably deserves it. My logic on this being that I’m an asshole now and have no intention of changing my ways so even if my future self isn’t an asshole he’ll still have to pay for the crimes of his past(my present). I mean, if I’m prepared to dick myself over like this imagine what I’d do to another person-my future self is gonna have a lot to answer for
Its sunny outside. If I can’t be outside enjoying it right now you can be damn sure I’m not gonna let that motherfucker enjoy it either. In fact, I’m going to do my dambdest to ensure that asshole is stuck in an exam hall doing repeats in early September knowing full well that its because I wanted to have a slightly more enjoyable time right now.
I’m lazy. Being lazy requires a certain lack of ambition, I have that in abundance. I justify my motivational ineptitiude by sighting famous lazy people of the past. Issac Newton was relaxing under a tree when he made his famous discovery that apples hurt. Moses led the jews out of Egypt not with the promise of s homeland free of oppression and tyranny but with these words(and I quote) “bollox to this(slavery), I’m off-anyone coming?”. He didn’t even bother with a decent excuse “arigh’Pharoh, me’n'de boys are headin’off to the shop to get some unlevened bread. Do ya want anything? Sound” Ghandi did the same with his revolutionary peacful protestation “jaysus Apu, its far too hot to fight the British today, lets just have a sit down instead-whataya say?”. Pearse; “ah feckit lads, it’ll take all bleedin’day to turn this one around-do ya wanna just be martyrs instead?”. This list could go on forever but I’m just not bothered.
Joint logic: “if you study for your exams this year your just gonna have to do harder ones next year, and then, the system, like, ownes you forever…man”
Guilt, like ‘comapssion’, ‘thoughts’ and ‘good honest work’, is for pussies!!
