I'm sure everyone goes through this. Correction: I'm sure every non-medicated person goes through this. I've never taken Ritalin, but I'm craving the idea something fierce right now.
Here's the deal: I have like thirty hours to complete my grad school application in order to be considered for a scholarship for the coming fall semester. But, in true slacker fashion, I have managed to find everything else far more interesting. Here's a quick list of some of the more interesting distractions I've managed to find over the last hour or so:
1. The new Rob Bell book controversy.
-Just a couple reflective thoughts on this one. First, I still like Rob Bell. He's been on the fringe of the Christian realm for a while now; his struggles with the established church are struggles that I share, albeit in my case on an impotently mental level. And it irks the hell out of me (see what I did there?) when the untouchable ones (Piper, Driscoll, etc) react as pompous jerks sneering off of theological high-horses. But now I'm being as judgmental as
they are... ah, the temptations to engage in the mud of church battlegrounds. I'm definitely going to read the book, though.
2. Catch up with the Oscar results, as I was busy watching "Let Me In" and "The Social Network" during the live broadcast. Both movies are amazing, just in case you wondered.
3. My favorite web comic
4. Reddit, of course... still giggling at this and this... and still kinda annoyed at this.
5. Reflect on my fear of success and fear of failure and general lack of personal efficacy, remember not to be negative about what I don't have, buckle down and attempt to finish the autobiographical section of the application... immediately get massively overwhelmed and retreat to a blog to distract myself even further.
So now, to complete the cycle, off I go to see if I can make it another round with life.
Hehe... dropped my taco...
