A Misspent Life

Opps I did it again…

This is about an event that happened a few weeks ago I forgot to post. So grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride.

 

I am so stupid. But it is not the first time. I always let stuff like happen. I guess I will never learn. I mean really, how hard was it to do?

 

I must be the laziest guy in the world. I mean yeah, I have been busy and kind of stressed out of late. But that is still not an excuse. It is only 5 minutes or so away from my house. Although, one can argue it is 5 minutes in the wrong direction. In fact it is in the complete opposite direction of the station I commute to.

 

But enough with the excuses. I need to take responsibility for my actions. After all it was in the back of my mind every day. I even put it in my bag in the morning so that I could go straight there after work.

But you know how it is… You get to the station after a long day of work and the only thing on your mind is food, a shower, and lazing around until bedtime.

 

I am pretty sure they even rang me like 2 or 3 times to remind me about it.

The art of procrastination. The one million dollar question you ask yourself before any action. Why do it today when I can do it tomorrow? It is a toughie I tell ya. Most of the times when faced with that question I let the little devil on my shoulder convince me that tomorrow is in fact better than today. But all my fellow practitioners of procrastination know that the sad fact of the matter is that tomorrow indeed never comes.

 

So what did it cost me? I am pretty sure I can make a nice list of stuff I would rather have spent it on:

l  Street Fighter 4 for Xbox

l  Extra Guitar Hero Guitar

l  Headphones for my IPod

l  Webcam

 I can go on all day, but I think you get the point right? So, what on earth am I talking about you ask.

 

Take a look below…

At a hefty 300yen a day, bringing your rental DVDs back 23 days late to Tsutaya is never really a good idea…

    I like the redesign! Nicely done.

    Maybe you need to put it in your schedule book on your phone like I do when the rentals are due back.

    Lol, nicely written bro. And it was all for Sex and the City as well. That’s gotta burn. If it makes you feel any better I’m going through a run of bad luck that is sure to cost me a similar, if not more, amount of money. My laptop broke, my mp3 player appears to be fucked, i lost my headphones and cracked mum’s glass table mat. Please send me some mamori asap. I need a bit of luck right about now.

    Sup man. Happy you like the new design. I think it is a lot cleaner than the old one. I think using schedules might be half of the solution. Actually getting up and going is the other half :(

    @Dan

    And yeah I know about bad luck streaks man so I feel ya pain. You know what they say, when it rains it pours :( Ill work on a mamori for you…

    Looks like it would have been cheaper to go buy the set. Bad luck.
