Some acute readers have noticed a general inability for me to follow through with certain things. It is true. I have gusto and drive in the beginning, only to have it falter in the later stages. Now, this doesn't extend to life's big events. I finished university, got a post-graduate degree and I hold down a job. It is the small stuff.
Flossing and crossword puzzles. This morning, I was flossing in the bathroom right before stepping into the shower and I had done everything upstairs and most of the downstair of my mouth, but I just couldn't be bothered to get at those pesky molars. Now, I managed to do the molars in every other part of my mouth, but those lower right hand molars just said "Not worth the effort."
Why? Why couldn't I just have done that simple little act? It could have been done and dusted in under 20 seconds, but I just couldn't get my act together. I disposed of the floss, got in the shower, and went to work.
I do the same thing with crossword puzzles, although I don't feel quite as bad. In the grand scheme of things, not taking the time to fill in "9 - Light the passions once more" or "7 - Tendency to flirt etc" isn't going to affect me in any great way, like making my teeth fall out of my gums, but it is indicative of me not being able to finish small, menial inconsequential tasks. Normally, that wouldn't bother anyone, but I revel in the inconsequential. The inconsequential aspects of life are the ones that are the best to poke fun at.
Coke vs Soda, the pants gnome, home field advantage and the semi-colon. I hope you see a pattern here.
But, if I can't perform the inconsequential, can I really be in a place to question the inconsequential?
