Waiting

Posted by Green_14 on June 5, 2008 - 09:08

Just think. . . . . . Are you done yet. Think about this. What do you do most of the time.WAIT. Your waiting most of the time. Waiting to say hello and goodbye. You wait to get done thinking. You wait to get to your destination. You wait to say what you have to say. you wait to get done reading this. Waiting in lines,to be called on, and to answer. Just think. . . . Stop. . What are you waiting for now.

This is my first thought. Please tell me what you think. :)

Presently I am waiting for parenthood! :)

And to rustle up sufficient funds to replace my defunct PS2.

No, most of the time I am not waiting..... unless I start thinking about it, in which case the thing I am waiting for, all of us are waiting for, is death.

I'm usually hurrying along. I never have the time or the patience to wait. This is why I miss so much, I think...

Are you waiting to be able to slow down, Jen?

On the contrary, I spent many years 'slowed down' against my will by illness, and I hope that nothing will ever slow me down again!

Jen,
An observant philosopher once wrote that the enjoyment of life lies in experiencing your journey not in anticipating your arrival at a given destination.

Thank you, keleph! On Friday Gamestation started a new offer of £40 for a pre-owned PS2 - just within my budget of £35 credit + £5 cash... so I am now back in the fold! :-)))

Okay, I admit it. Right now I am waiting. I'm waiting for someone to turn up and take his horse away. Still, it gave me the time to stick another chapter of my dodgy sci-fi novel on here, so not time entirely wasted..... I hope.

JXM -

In the words of Aerosmith:

'Life's a journey, not a destination.'

Yes, I agree, but there are certain milestones along the road of life that I would like to stop at and appreciate the achievement.

I'm waiting to start uni in September. After years of dead-end temp jobs, I'm finally going back to start a Computing Degree.
