Today I slept in to around 2:00 following my advice yesterday. I didn't have lunch. Spent the afternoon watching banged up abroad, reading some James Thurber stories, and smoking my pipe. Relaxed. Had a really awesome day of doing nothing. I got my phone back, and met a rabbit. Basically I had an awesome day. I think the reason my day was so good was because I really had nothing to worry about. So tonight I decided to write about things that are not worth worrying about. I am worried that there are too many things that I could mention, so today I talked about five.
5 Uni.
A few days ago I was stressing out about uni. It wasn't particularly productive, because I was so busy stressing out about it I didn't actually get any work done. Uni is not worth stressing out about at all, for more information on that look at my first article. I think the main reason that uni isn't worth stressing out about is that it doesn't really mean anything. Whether you pass uni with flying colors, or completely fuck it up at the end of the day you will be forced to get a job. Unless your really lucky your job will be boring, repetitive, and soul destroying. If you happen to get the “best job in the world” you will be a made to appear in adds that make you look like a complete fuckwit. The amount of money you happen to make won't really depend too much on your education. If your intelligent, dedicated, and skilled at what you do you will get promoted, if your a fuckwit, no matter how educated, you won't get anywhere.
4 Being broke.
I am completely broke. I don't have a job in Melbourne, and my parents give me very little money. Money is a good example of something that is not worth worrying about. Having no money makes you healthier, I haven't drunk too much in ages, am not smoking as much as I used to, and not eating too much junk food. Today I could have gone to pub golf, and drunk an obscene amount of beer and destroyed more of my brain cells, because I was broke I didn't. Being broke also makes you smarter, today I found an ingenious way of getting money. I lay on my stomach with a pool cue and scraped coins out of the vending machine, I earned $2.90 and picked up a skill that I would have never have learned if I wasn't poor. Finally another reason why you shouldn't worry about having no money is that if your broke people donate things to you, I have received 3 really awesome shirts from college friends that I wouldn't have ever had if I was rich.
3 People not liking you.
No one is ever as popular, or well liked as they want to be, not even me. Were all approval seeking animals, so a lot of people are at least subconsciously worried about there social status. People who worry about the fact that no one likes them are completely wasting there time. The if your probably right, very few people like you. Most people are completely indifferent to you, they will talk to you, but in the long run really don't give two fucks what happens to you. In a few years time most people you hang around with now will have almost forgotten to you. Throughout your life you will probably only have 5 or 6 really close friends who will stick with you forever. What other people think of you doesn't really matter. Someone once wrote, freedom from the good opinion of others is the only true freedom (actually I think I just wrote that just then.) As long as you have a few people who like you and respect you for who you are your fine. If you don't you can always get yourself an imaginary friend, 2.2 billion people do this world wide, they call him Jesus.
2 The future.
Everyone occasionally worries about the future. “What will happen when my exam comes and I haven't done any study, what happens when my dad finds out that I flunked out of uni, how will I pay the fine for fair evading I will eventually get” etc. Worrying about the future is one thing that won't ever get you anywhere. The future and past are complete illusions, the only thing we can be really certain of is the present. While we can feel the effects of the past, we can only imagine what will happen in the future. Our imaginations are always completely inaccurate. Personally nothing has ever turned out the way I expected it to. For all we know I could be abducted by aliens before anything I was worrying about ever took place.
1 The fact that what your writing in your blog is a complete load of crap.
