Busy Rant

— if you can name the tour or song that the video on the led is from in the picture above, I’ll buy you ice cream —

I spent the better part of my day yesterday trying to figure what somebody else is thinking. I learned a couple things out of it, I learned that being busy is simply something that is what you make it. Or better it’s become a preference, like, I prefer to be busy so I don’t have to do things for you. Busy has become the new excuse for lazy, or better yet negligence, ignorance, and self gratifying, to be busy means you’re important, or you have all this stuff going on in your life.

I’m to blame for this too, I personally have a list that keeps me going from when I wake up till I go to bed, some of it is work, some it is home stuff, and the two are always entwined but I stay “busy”, I don’t always accomplish all of it, because there’s to much on the list, you and I want to say to that, I’m so “busy”, I think it’s just life.  Don’t get me wrong, there can be things that take up time out of your day that shouldn’t, (Work) or it’s taking time from the things that matter to you, like family, wife, kids, xbox etc.

The point is I’m getting tired of hearing how busy everybody is, myself included, whatever happen to people that are “busy” getting help from people that are not busy.  But you don’t see that any more, because everybody is to busy to help anybody.  Because of our rapid and “busy” lives, we have become more self absorbed, more inwardly focused, we’re just so busy we can’t stop and say hello to your neighbor or the little old lady that’s making conversation with the checkout person!  Doesn’t that drive you crazy!  Because we just don’t have time to make someone else feel appreciated, or like a human!  We’ve been working all day and we have to make it home to eat, shower, do laundry watch “Fringe” and go to bed.

There I said it, I’m tired of being to busy to be a good person.  What about you?
