They Love Their BBQ

I love all kinds of food, but I've had enough barbeque for a while.

Returns

Watching the world go by can be easier than taking part. There's no requirement for interaction. The effort level is practically nothing, in comparison.

It's safer, too. The risk is minimal to simply observe. At the end of the day, very little is ventured.

Very little is gained, though. To see returns, there have to be investments. Investments require effort; effort requires interaction.

A day of planes and travel ends in good food and a comfy bed. Eyes heavy. *Yawn*

Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone

It's so easy to get accustomed to having things that it takes being without them to realize the level to which they're relied upon. The internet is one of those things. The world wide web has crept into every aspect of life. Then, Charter cuts a fiber bundle and half the country loses their connection to the world.

Need for Long Arms

All kinds of interests pull different directions. Timing issues in line, two away, just two simple steps away, yet seemingly unreachable. The gravity of time makes physics seem illogical.

So much invested in making the right and good decisions that now seem to have just looped the proper path farther away from the goal. Odd how it's often possible to see more clearly from a distance. Too bad that distance makes it so much harder to reach.

Wasted?

There's no such thing as free time. It all costs something. Just choosing to do something with that time costs you the opportunity to do something else.

Can you do nothing with it? Is it even possible to waste time? You were breathing, you were conserving energy... There was something gained, even if it was just that you were keeping yourself alive. Maybe the chronological investment wasn't optimal, but the damage is most likely minimal. You'd have to spend a lot of time doing nothing to see a net loss.

This stream of consciousness is making me feel like maybe not purposely doing anything is the best way to not waste time. That has to be wrong. Now I know I shouldn't listen to myself.

Random Suspicion #5150

I'm beginning to get a little suspicious that I may not know exactly what's best for me.
