Day 124

'Something I forgot to do', Pen and Marker on Paper

It's funny how we always seem to be remembered of that thing that we forgot to do at that exact moment were we should have had it done. Sometimes it's by stumbling upon the unfinished task ourselves, other times it's happening upon the actual person that we were supposed to carry out the task for. It all lends to giving us that terrible feeling of having just disappointed someone, leaving us to then have to shuffle awkwardly around our words trying to formulate some tenuous excuse to justify our inability to keep a promise. The worst thing is the real reason for not having done this is simply as something else more interesting came along, like watching hour after hour of vapid drivel on TV, rearrange the objects on you desk, trawling the internet for hours clicking on link after link to something that has the tag line 'epic fail', just staring into space vacantly waiting for something more interesting to occur. My point here is that even the most inane things we can possibly conceive are enough to distract us from the real task at hand, it's a case that we are serial procrastinators and most likely will always be that way. The important thing is that eventually we all get round to doing those things that we are supposed to it just takes much longer than we initially conceived.
