Best. Week. Eventually.

by tmv on March 3, 2010

It’s Wednesday as I write this; I’m on vacation in Florida and it’s National Procrastination Week.  Does life get any better…or eventualler?

Not really.  Here’s why:

  1. Wednesday is the best day of the week during vacation.  Having Hump Day in Florida means I finally get to fully realize the meaning of the day…by riding a camel at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom.  The fact that I will have to wait in a very long line to do this makes it all the sweeter.
  2. The weather in Florida is completely unseasonal right now – kind of like how baseball players treat Spring Training here: unseasonal.  Apparently the weather here is a good 20 degrees cooler than it should be.  I don’t really notice the difference because the weather is still higher than where I live.  Besides, newscasts seem to be fixated so much on alerting me of any “weather threats” that I really have no concern at all.  They do this every few minutes or so, so I’m never without this “unvaluable ficformation” at my fingertips.  Or eyeballs, as it were.
  3. It’s, as aforementioned earlier before this point, National Procrastination Week.  I’ve even incorporated the ideals behind the week into this blog post by mentioning it last.  Also, by posting this near the end of the day takes it a step further, although as an Eventualist I do this regularly anyway.  I’m relieved that, unlike last year, this week near and dear to anyone who follows Eventualism does not contain the Daylight Savings Time routine.  Losing an hour may add to the challenges that face those who follow the week to the letter, but it’s also able to be wasted during church anyway so there’s really no point.

Before I leave you with this and go off to do nothing further, I’ll mention that later this week I’ll be announcing the latest Eventualottery.  What the prize is and how it works will come eventually.

Now, please go forth and “crastinate” until you’re a pro at it!  Just do it in your own time.

Post image for Eventual Book Review: The Happiness Project

A few weeks back I received my copy of “frienemy of the blog” Gretchen Rubin’s latest book, The Happiness Project.  After reading the book sleeve to make sure I didn’t actually have to do a project, I dove in as eventually as I could.  What I found was an insightful look into life and a realistic journey of what it must be like to make a concerted effort to be have an overall happier disposition.

(Incidentally, I have no idea what I just said, nor did I initially try to follow Gretchen’s lead.  It just seemed really hard.)

Here I am.  I have some stuff to say.

I’ve made some changes.  Ever so slight changes…and eventual ones to say the least.  But they’re there.  Look to the right.  Less is more, so to write.
Happy Eventual New Year!

What Happened To Risk

December 2, 2009

“Risk versus reward, or something like that.” – Me, trying to recall exactly what the quote was.
Risk has always been a part of my life.  I can remember countless hours carefully “strategizing” each and every move I made, hoping that I could keep moving forward until eventually feeling superior and dominant over those around me.  [...]

How Focus To An Like Eventualist

November 30, 2009

In my travels around my world, I’ve seldom been asked “How to you focus on so many things all at once and manage to be so amazing at them?” After looking around to see if they are talking to me, I eventually respond by telling them that by focusing on a phlegmora of things (like [...]
