Yes, I am fully aware that this is stupid, annoying awful, ridiculous and inane and pointless to say, but I feel I have to say this, so let the negative comments fly!!!!Today is my birthday. Today is my birthday today is my birthday. Today is my birthday and I was not supposed to be alive 33(thirty-three) years after my first medical near death crisis!!!! To quote dante hicks from the clerks trilogy, “I’m not even supposed to be here today!” Now let those comments roll, I don’t care if you’re negative or positive I just want to win the game for the day and get the most comments possible I’ve got to beat that awesome wonderful, amazing perfect and cool basilBruce today. I’ve just got to! Dan aka the KING of the “creeps!”
A true “Pro” doesn’t even take the time to think about what they are not wanting to accomplish! They fly by the seat of their pants! Some day I’ll become “Pro”!
ADD at its finest. Good luck with that. Take one item to put away in another room and you will come out that room with perfectly organized drawers and closets and the item still in your hand.
Did some work for a banker many years ago. He had just purchased the largest (read: most expensive!) Curtis Mathes tv. They had a little boy who wanted to help mommy clean house, and took the windex and sprayed the tv screen…and sprayed…and sprayed…and sprayed… It ran down the screen and flooded the circuits…poof! I’m so glad I wasn’t around when he got home!!

Either that’s a pretty light filing cabinet, or Rat has been eating his spinach.

The benefit of procrastination when writing is that you can have your second thoughts before you even wrote down the first thoughts.

So Rat is taking on the Jack Nicholson role and Pig is subbing for Shelley Duvall.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

It’s not so much procrastination. It is ‘thinking time’ and ‘mulling things over’ and ‘getting inspired’.

Could this be autobiographical? Is “writer” code for “cartoonist”?

Technically, Pig’s conclusion is probably correct; but that would take all the fun out of Rat’s procrastination!
