driven

i am what the great thinkers of the world call...
a list maker.
i think it's because i'm not an especially driven person. i want to be driven but unfortunately i am what the great thinkers of the world call..
lazy.

so i make lists. millions of lists.
"to do" lists of every shape, color, and size.
some of them long term, some of them short term, and some of them in between term.
serious lists, flippant lists, surreal lists.
i make lists. billions of lists!
because every once in a while after i actually do some of the stuff on the list, i get to sit on my couch and watch vh1 without the usual nagging guilty feeling.

i cherish those moments.

which is why i will continue to make lists. trillions of lists!
inane lists written on post it notes and scattered in my room and on my desk and in my purse and on the dashboard of my car...
and odds are that at some point during the day i'll be able to check something off.
and that, my friends, is a very good feeling!
