Procrastination!

Now let me tell you this, procrastinating is a big part of my life.

They say that (who are they? I'm guessing the 100 people they survey on Family Fortunes) life is a bitch. And if the Family Fortunes crew, or the FF 100 as they are known in Les Dennis' circles, are to be believed, and life truly is a bitch then procrastination is life's bastard child.

Yeah that's right, what I'm saying is Life went out, she got tanked up on some cheap liquor and ended up hooking up with some hairy guy with a mullet who claimed that he used to be in the Hells Angels just because he had a leather jacket, and he never called her again. 9 months down the line, bam! Procrastination pops out and hatches a plan to become the bane of my life!

A prime example of me procrastinating is this blog. I intended to publish my ramblings every couple of days. My last post was on 23rd October. That is 10 days ago. My fans have become restless, the Holden hotline has been ringing off the hook, and some have come very close to the edge.

Now let me give you another example. My mobile phone insurance. I forgot to cancel it despite the fact I have taken out a cheaper insurance. Why did I not cancel it at the time? I was too busy procrastinating! What has this cost me i hear you cry? To be Frank (and if you have met my dad there is no doubt i will be one day) £13.99. That is the equivalent of the best Boneless Banquet Variety Bucket money can buy!

But now I have become self aware, much like when Robocop realises he used to be a human man, why can I not stop procrastinating? I simply don't know.

It is true, I am very lazy, but when you know it is inevitable that you will do something why not do it NOW rather than later?

As I wrote that I came up with the answer. Amazing. I actually just had an epiphany. A lightbulb moment. Although my bedside lamp is broken so there was no light, just a whole lot of bulb.

So what is the answer I hear you cry? Well, I am easily distracted!

Come to think of it I have subconsciously tried to remove any distractions from my life since coming to Uni. I have brought no television or games consoles. I have literally removed Eggheads and Pro Evo from my life. My brain is trying so hard to stop me from being distracted but it is not winning. This is because my libido and stomach conquers all.

I am surrounded by nubile, young, succulent, pert, desirable pieces of food, and a few girls.

These 2 things make me procrastinate. But how do I stop them? I mean everyone has to eat, and with a face like this I'm always going to be surrounded by women longing for me to blog all over them.

So let me conclude this second, rambling post with this question. If we did not procrastinate would our lives become easier, more structured or would they become regimented, boring, and Eggheadless?
