My friend Kate recently put an entry in her blog about how unbelievably busy she is. I admire her greatly for finding the time and motivation to do all the things she does. It really made me start thinking, as a bachelor with no kids, what do I REALLY have to do every day? I made a list. It’s not real long.

1.) Get to work on time. I’m 30-60 minutes late once every couple of months.

2.) Feed myself. I often go from lunch on Friday to Sunday evening without eating. When one drinks all weekend, one often forgets to eat. If I wake up hungry on Saturday or Sunday, I’ll usually grab a drink.

3.) Bathe. I’m good about that one.

4.) Take care of myself. In one week, I drink around 50 beers, smoke 5 packs of cigarettes, eat 4-5 fast food lunches, and get zero exercise.

That’s really about it. As one can plainly see, it’s a damn good thing I don’t have kids.

Oh yeah, but I get to do whatever I want, when I want, as long as it doesn’t interfere with work.
