I have horrible procrastination problems... to the point where i'll put something off until it ends up fucking me.... and forgetting after i put it off that i haven't yet done it and still need to... i need to work on that... i think it's part lazy, and part forgetfull.

yeah part lazy and part forgetful for sure.

sometimes i can't think past my forehead

but procrastination works for me. i LIKE that deadline there and the pressure of getting it done before the due date. some of my best works or papers have been a result of procrastinating.

I usually start an assignment a day or two before it's due. At that time, I am completely confident that I can finish in time. But then, the assignment always turns out to be much harder than I anticipated and I don't finish, so I rationalize that it was only worth X amount of my grade and that I can still get a good grade if I do well on the final. But that never happens.

I used to procrastinate all the time in high school. Staring at the clock when I have some project to do, trying to rationalize not getting off my lazy ass and getting it done. It's 8 o'clock I can wait till 10, oops it's 10, oh well I can wait till 12, ugh its 12 i'm tired I can do it in the morning.

I've noticed reasonably that cartoons are directly proportional to my level of procrastination. If an old-school cartoon (i.e transformers, gargoyles, or thundercats,) there just isn't going to be work getting done.

Procrastinating as I write this message instead of the 6 page Philosophy paper I'm supposed to write.

Generally, I get most of my work done the day before it's due, which is actually about 20 hours. Ha no worries then. Lots of time!

Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
