L A Z....

I was too lazy to type the letter Y. This guy was too lazy to walk his dog.

Now when I look at this picture, two things immediately come to mind: that dog can run really fast and wow, can somebody really be that lazy? Americans are continuing to become obese, and pictures like this go a long way towards pointing out one of the core problems of so many; laziness.

I do not profess to be the most productive, most hardworking, or most active of people, but there is a threshold of laziness that I will not even allow myself to breach. I really have nothing wrong with laziness. I love being lazy but the above picture shatters the allowable threshold of laziness.

(tapping snooze over 3 times).....(being lazy because you just need a break).....(leaving dirty laundry in multiple corners of the room).....(eating a hot pocket cold)......(not showering for prolonged periods of time).....(THRESHOLD).

I mean there is often a very thin line between procrastination and laziness. When I'm writing this post instead of doing work right now, I'm not sure whether I'm being lazy or procrastinating. Probably both. I guess I'll define procrastination as putting off doing something by doing something else and laziness as putting off doing something for the sake of doing nothing.

la·zy Pronunciation: 'lA-zEFunction: adjective : disinclined to activity or exertion : not energetic or vigorous

That makes the guy in the car walking the dog that much more ridiculous. He removes one of the fundamental elements of being lazy, not trying. He has to get into the car, drive the car, make sure he doesn't run into other cars and make sure he doesn't run over his own dog. So in effect he is going out of his way just for the sole purpose of being lazy. It's one thing to be lazy and fall asleep or hit the snooze button 8 times too many, but to devise a plan to be lazy, that is just a bit much. It's one thing to eat leftovers cold because you are too lazy to walk over to the microwave to reheat it. It is another completely different sitution to unplug the microwave first and then deciding to eat the food cold. That guy driving alongside his dog should be ashamed and live in infamy on the internet.

So I guess I really have nothing more to say about this and this was all probably just fluff in order to justify posting that picture, but I will now get back to work before my procrasination becomes laziness.
