Reading Writing Laziness

More From Thomas A Kempis

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I think that was when the headmaster realized he had lost; he realized then that he was finished. because, what could he do? was he going to tell us to stop praying? we kept our heads bowed; and we kept praying. even as awkward as he was, the rev. mr. merrill had made it clear to us that there was no end to praying for owen meany.

Crazy Reading World
There are idle spots on every farm, and every highway is bordered by an idle strip as long as it is; keep cow, plow, and mower out of these idle spots, and the full native flora, plus dozens of interesting stowaways from foreign parts, could be part of the normal environment of every citizen.

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
It's hard to keep the energy going sometimes, that's why i like to go with a group of people who are meditating. i love meditating in groups, it's fantastic.

The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people. and maybe the reason vampires don’t die is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors.
Mirrors Differences People
Let me tell you something. as we were walking around in the store, marilyn and i were just really impressed by all the novelties and the different types of little things that you could get for christmas. and all the people that would help you, they were dressed up in things that said 'i believe in santa claus.' and the only thing that i could think is that i believe in george bush.
