Yesterday I went ice skating, it was the second time in my life. the first time was 6 or 7 years ago I remember it was wobbly and there was a lot of falling down. But there I was on the ice in my rented skates for a second time trying to convince a few of the children that never skated before ( I'm a scout leader) that it couldn't be that hard. And thus we tried waving our arms franticly trying to keep standing in a world full off slippery, hard water and people passing us by at a hundred miles an hour. after a while Paul and I started talking about how bad we where at ice skating until after a minute of 5 we noticed we made a whole lap with out falling or flapping our arms like mad man. encouraged by this thought we went for a second round but this once again our focus was with the ice skating needless to say: more flailing arms and wobbliness followed. and then a theory was created: the less you try to skate the better you are. so the best way to learn how to skate is put on your skates step on the ice and slack off. and it worked. Now I'm wondering are there other things that are easier while your slacking off?
Ah, that could work. Personally I am good at both (ice-skating AND slacking off). For example, I am now supposed to be doing my Graphics work, but by cunningly turning the laptop so the back is to the room, no-one can see that what I am really doing is reading through the marijuana forum. Well, that's what I was doing. Right now I am reading the UK Randomness forum, obviously. Rambling nonsensically, that is easier when slacking. Also writing poems. Strangely I find abstract art easier when concentrating hard, but maybe that's just me. Drinking, drugs, one night stands, giving up New Years Resolutions - probably easier when slacking off, as they're not exactly the kind of things you want to be concentrating on. IMO work is alo much easier when you're slacking off :tongue:
There should be slacking off training at school. or mabey that is one off those things you can't learn. how do you learn to slack off? is it a seed lying dormat in the soul off the enitire human race? is it what binds us to what we realy are? is this post going to make any sence?
