The Wall
Yesterday I did nothing.
The day before, the same.
Why must I be lazy?
To keep from going insane?
How many hours wasted?
Strolling down the endless wall?
Tell me, damn you, Facebook.
Why am I your thrall?

The author encourages honest critique.
"It's so much easier not to do things than to do them, that you would do anything is totally remarkable. Percentage wise, it is 100% easier not to do things than to do them. And so much fun not to do them, especially when you were supposed to do them. In terms of instant relief, canceling plans is like heroin. It's an amazing feeling. Such instant joy. Kids don't like that. Kids always want to do stuff. Kids get angry, they go "aww, we didn't do anything all day." But if you ever ask an adult what they did over the weekend, and they say they didn't do anything, their faces light up. Be like "what'd you do this weekend?" "I, um, did nothing. I did nothing at all. Did we do anything? No, I didn't do anything." " - Comedian John Mulaney, New in Town (yes I know the whole comedy special by heart...yes, I'm a bit of a dork. XD )
But I digress, nice work, keep it up.
