Every day I find myself longing to be "slack." Well, not exactly slack, but at least not overwhelmed. I'd like the freedom to just exist in this life and attend to the more important things: friends, family and taking care of my own space. Instead, I find myself stuck in the rat-race, swinging as hard as I can, trying not to be too far behind, and losing the battle. The weather is turning, I can see spring coming. I want to stand outside in the cool air and sunshine, and be at one with my mother earth. There are many physical things that cry out to be done around the homestead. I have to let them go because of my "responsibilities." I long to just BE.
I feel you, man. I don't seem to have time for myself anymore, or my friends. Slave to the man. My job's taking a bit of a toll on me at the moment. A vacation would be great but I wouldn't get paid. My sister doesn't work and she has all the free time she could possibly want. She has time, I have money. It'd be nice if we could have both.
Just remember "Hippie stops when I get off the bus." That's a quote from Jerry Bug, of Shut Up and Eat It kitchen...RIP Jerry
Wow! The GREAT toolmaggot responds to one of my threads! I am truly honored and humbled! You TOTALLY *ROCK*, babe!
I have been slackin', in the way you defined it. And since spring and summer are coming, you could work some seasonal jobs... they aren't full time but usually pay well.
