Idle Moments
Jun. 12th, 2007 06:42 pmMonday i bought a couple of Moleskine notebooks, the type that Bruce Chatwin or DH Lawrence might have used, to jot down my thoughts,ramblings, and moments of inspiration.
Jottings in another format - and then transferred to LJ.
MONDAY 11
I'm hot, my feet ache. A crappy day in London. My favorite back seat on the coach back home taken. A pointless exercise of a job and a difficult day's work just heightened my feeling of ennui.I had enough of aggressive in-your-face imbeciles.
I think i will follow the philosophy of the Idler, which basically boils down to as do little as you can to the least effort. so I shall try to do as little as possible in the least amount of time with the highest level of renumeration. Then channel you energies into things that you really enjoy. and get off that corporate treadmill. Free yourself from the burden of a 9 to 5 job. Work as little as you can afford to,and enjoy being idle. Expand your creative potential by using idle moments of reverie and day dreaming to unburden yourself from the rat race.
TUESDAY 12
Haven't done much today. Perhaps, the Idler magazine influence is rubbing off me. However, i did finish off some paperwork that i needed to do,and was very productive.
Picked up a hardback copy of Studs Turkel "And They All Sang" (Granta) from Waterstones. Read the interview with Ravi Shankar at my local pub,the Evening Star.
