etc.

lazy: unwilling to work or use energy, showing a lack of effort or care, characterized by lack of effort or activity.

i have also concluded that it stinks to be lazy.

last night we watched "joe vs. the volcano". have you watched that lately? it is a magical quirky little film. joe, dismayed with work and his "life" is told by his doctor that he has a "brain cloud" and he has 6 months to live. he is approached by a wealthy business man who proposes he becomes a human sacrifice and jump into a volcano on a remote island. with nothing to lose, he accepts. through the process of getting getting his act together and ready for an adventure, he begins to live life again. he begins to care, show interest and live. after floating for several days out in the open ocean, joe has an epiphany :

lazy, i have decided to go jump in a volcano. i'll see you around.

you know what happens to joe right? go watch the film.
