So my last post was in late Oct. this one is nearly start of december. Hence i must have done some fun interesting things to have missed out on so much time without feeling the need to blog.
It is entirely possible, but i have no really strong recollections of anything amazing going on in that time. which makes me wonder, what takes up peoples time? where does the time go, if your living an amazing life or a so so one how do you compare, since both lives consume time at the same rate.
I took up boxing and summer hockey. so now my weeks are semi full with sporting activities. Im getting pretty good too (at least i think so, and some of the other people are giving me encoureging comments like "your really improving fast" or "i couldnt tell you'd never played before" (that one sounded less sarcastic in real life then it does here)). We won at hockey last week, first time in five matches, although we got two draws also. And i sparred for the first time in boxing last night, and although i did cop a few to the head (mostly my own fist when i tried to block their blows) i thought it was fun. so sports and exersise can be a time consumer, i do about 2 hrs a weekday of exersise in the mornings and do sports for about an hr in the evening 3 days a week.
I asked a friend what he got up to, and he said "lots of things" like "hiking and going to the beach with friends". which sounds cool. although personally i find i get a sense of time wasting when i go to the beach for the most part. could be my constant sense that im missing out on something happening somewhere else.
I think maybe alcohol fueled events sponsers much of the time consuming. I did go to a couple of bars with a friend to meet random people (not sleep with, just meet, although sleep with was on the cards if they were interesting enough, it just wasnt exactly the main aim), a couple of 21st of my brother and his friends, and a couple of bars to just hang out with my flatmates & their close friends. I even went to a costume 25th, which was good, i got to catch up with alot of the undergraduate people i dont see very much. I slipped down the stairs and scratched all along my arm with a nail towards the end of the night, which "aint no thing" but was amusing to see the host mum's almost panic response/apology/rant that she told the hosts father to fix it over a scratch.
But the sum of these outings over the course of the month: about 5 hrs on average per event, 3 houseparties, 2 bar outings with friend, 3-4 drinking outings with flatmates makes only about a bit over a week of event "days" and roughly 50 hrs of actual events. I think this is where alot of time can go, but with limited financial capacity at the moment, my scholarship expired and i can only get ad-hoc casual work at the moment, i cant afford to do acohol events that much these days.
alot of people consume their time with work. I dont, i barely even manage to get my required research done, let alone the other stuff that would make my thesis great, so mayb this is a place where i can focus some of my "bored time".
Sleep also consumes alot of time for some people, two of my flatmates sleep in till about 11 or 12 each day they can get away with it. the other one goes to bed at like 10 (except when he has friends around). I dont "sleep" too much, but i do spend alot of time tired, lying in bed, but unable to sleep, yet too tired to start the day.
But sleep and work seem boring, and i cant bring myself to spend time on them, im affraid im using too much time on them and im not filling my life up/living my life to the fullest.
anyway, I would love to know how a few different people spend their time, i mean all of their time. how much is just boring "getting there" travel to somewhere interesting, how much is sleep, how much their "amazing" life is to do with attitude and looking forwards to the next thing and how much is actually being used for events that make happiness in their lives.
I think this was brought about by watching "the socail network" and seeing justin timberlakes performance of the napster guy, he portrays him as a sort of unrealiable party boy with the right hookups. are party people always doing something fun, or is it an attitude, do they make themselves see the fun in their lives even during the "boring bits"?
