Monday, April 2, 2007 @ 9:54 am It's an alternative to actually doing work. I should be annotating Wong et al. 2002's work on the attenuation of EGFR ubiquitylation by Sprouty2 (barf), but no, I'd rather be doing this, which is to say, nothing at all. The nature of procrastination is an odd thing. There are times when becomes clear to us that we are engaging in a self-destructive habit, and we even become so keen that we can identify those things that make it easier to put off our obligations just for a little bit longer (which invariably turns into a lot bit longer), but we don't stop. Like now, for example: I have admitted to myself that there is work to be done, and I am fully cognizant that typing these words is NOT helping me achieve those ends, and yet I can't stop. I'm a man possessed! A man obsessed? Yes, perhaps that's the right term for it. It is an obsession. An obsession that consumes our souls and hijacks our brains and send out electrical impulses throughout our system of nerves--action potentials firing and travelling down the lengths of our myelin-sheathed neurons--causing the fingers to fly over the keyboard, darting down suddenly like birds of prey and being on target--letters transmitted to the computer screen like rabbits and mice taken back to the nest at light speed. There they are--all the little rodent carcasses, lined up in a row! The carnage! The bloody carnage! The flesh rended from the bone and the sound of tissue sliding down a throat. A chick chirping, chirping, chirping, waiting for its share. Mama feeds it, while her other chick, malnourished, stands off to the side, trying to make itself heard but failing, baby fat vanished, muscle mass diminishing, strength nearly gone. No, baby, I will not let you die! Open up your mouth and receive your nourishment! I'm coming, my little one, don't despair! I'll bring you what you need! Breaking free of the obsession, and moving on with real work. Time to disconnect. See you tonight, but not sooner. This is a pledge I make to you and to myself. Fare thee well. 2 Comments. :0 I don't know what that thing about the birds is about but I don't like it. :( » randomjunk on 2007-04-02 06:31:13 yea. you threw me off with the whole bird shabang. but boy am i familiar with that procrastination! » helloiloveyou on 2007-04-02 06:47:08
