Writing for Writing's Sake

The minutes certainly are not moving with any conviction this afternoon. Lee and I are trading cutting remarks for the sake of just doing so... we are really just that bored. I'll get up for a while... then go back and sit down. He'll come into my office, kick the skill football around and then go back to his desk... all good fun, really.

Today's treat... a new flat-panel monitor. It's super! Well, kinda... the actual screen itself is pretty sweet, but I'm not really sold on the shitty set of speakers that are attached to it. I'm trying to listen to a little Death Cab while I'm bored, but it's ever-so-grainy and really hard to listen to. Ah well... at least the screen is actually staying on for me.

I even wrote a new article on Miikka Kiprusoff Has Been Ravaged By A Pack of Wolves. Actually, it was sort of Lee's idea to do, since Garth Snow got the job of Islanders GM. That alone was a good laugh for both of us, but Lee thought if Snow could be GM, why couldn't Kipper be promoted too? I couldn't agree with him more. Ha ha.

I haven't posted on Canucks Rush for a couple days now. I couldn't quite bring myself to write about the Assistant Coaching jobs that were filled today. I really didn't want to rag on Rick Bowness and how I think he's kind of a joke to my Canuck readers... if there are any. I'm sure they could do enough by themselves.

I also really didn't get around to writing any more on my How-To manual today. I did a bit, but not really enough. I did have a couple filings in and out of the office... there's still a couple more small ones to do as well. Neither of which are due in the next couple minutes before the deadline for the day. So, I'm not gonna worry about it too much.

I did, however, pay some bills today. It's becoming increasingly harder to be responsible in this way for me. I can't really understand why exactly... I used to be so damn good at it all. But I guess when they start screwing around and not getting things right, it does tend to take the good taste (if there is one for paying bills) out of your mouth and you (or maybe it's just me) get complacent with not paying them right away and being done with it all. I dunno... it does sort of make sense to me.

How can one actually become more responsible in one's own head again?

I've also been reading a lot of Blogs again today. It's been a Blogsurfing kind of day on BlogExplosion and BlogMad. The selection is growing everyday it seems... try and block out the religious and overly political stuff, 'cuz that stuff just frustrates me to read or not read or even just skip by. Politics and Religion, to me, has seemingly become a fashion statement more than a basis of belief or opinion. There are a lot of people in today's world that claim to be this and claim to be that, but then blur the lines by their own actions and then try to justify their actions by some sort of spin of their basis.

I'm convinced that Jen, my roommate, is a fashionable Christian. Sure, she goes to church once and a while... she says she loves Jesus... hell, she even teaches Sunday School to kids... but she lays waste to all sorts of Christian values, like lying, stealing, fucking and all sorts. She never really likes our neighbours... she's broken up a marriage... I dunno, it just seems to me that hypocrisy wins again on this one. Oh yeah and her response to the hypocrite title is 'well, everyone's a hypocrite.'

Hmmmm... 45 minutes to go. I think I'm gonna go surf some more.
