As I mentioned earlier I wanted to write about cricket in this post. The main issue being one of the best cricketers (ofcourse he's the best...HE'S PAKISTANI!) retiring after a career spanning 15 or 16 years, I really can't remember.
Yeah so Inzamam-ul-Haq retired.
Now moving on.
What? Did you want me to write about his wondrous career and his contributions to cricket? Of course you didn't but you were expecting it. So was I. But its been 3 days since it happened and I really don't feel so emotional about it now as compared to that time that I did, and it wouldn't be right to force myself into writing it.
"But Zo, your first post in this blog was based on a play you did 3 weeks ago?" you ask. To which I'd reply "Yes it was" to which you'd reply with "But.." and I'd cut in abruptly with a "MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN BLOG!".
It's easier to talk about things I was actually part of instead of things other people did that makes loads of other people happy unlike that thing that I did that I am talking about...or something. I'm selfish like that.
So recently guilt has been hanging over my head of how unproductive I can be or am. I keep procrastinating my studies day after day. First I thought I'd catch up in the 2 weeks mid-semester break we had but I spent those days watching TV or going for play practices. Then I thought I'd relay on the Hari Raya holidays and here they are and I'm either visiting people, having people visit me or playing Fifa. After this we don't have anymore holidays till after the semester exams and I'm starting to feel a bit scared now. Mainly because I know I really won't ever be able to get myself to sit down and actually DO something.
As the saying goes "You reap what you sow" but the thing with me is I really don't like to spend the whole day out in the garden planting seeds when its much nicer to sit indoors and watch TV. And when I do actually get hungry I'll take the easy way out and buy some can food. Sure it doesn't taste as good and will probably cause me to suffer some sort of heart disease in the future but I still do it, because it's easy. Each time I say "after this Zo, you are gonna do some serious gardening" but as soon as the can food finishes I just always end up buying some more. Its come to the point where I've forgotten how to reap.
Wow that above metaphor thingy was awesome. I'm such a poet. I think it's even better than Chi Ho's noodle analogy thingamajic. I feel so proud of myself now. I think I'll treat myself to some cake.
Chocolate cake. THATS how proud of myself I am.
