Last night I started thinking about the subject of procrastination. This occurred during an particular sequence of events: I started to study for a class, but then I realized I should put a load of laundry in the washer first. I went into the bathroom to change out the towels so I could wash them and noticed the trash needed to be emptied. In the process of emptying the trash I wound up going through the medicine cabinet to get rid of all the expired stuff. Once I retraced this sequence of events I was severely impressed with myself for setting up this pyramid of procrastination, because each task was productive and needed to be done. I wasn't really wasting time, but at the same time I wasn't studying, which was what I needed to be doing at that moment. It made me think I needed to write an article on this blog about procrastination (blogging, another great way to procrastinate), but then I said "I'll do it tomorrow."
Breaking news: Obama has taken the delegate count lead! According to the news source I just checked, after yesterday's round of primaries Obama had 1078 delegates to Clinton's 969. Yay! Of course this is only the warm-up, the real battle for change will begin once both parties have selected their candidates and the presidential campaigning begins in earnest. It looks like McCain is building a substantial lead over Huckabee and most likely will win the Republican nomination easily. Huckabee is a joke. McCain, however, is a threat because his brand of flag-waving will be attractive to conservative Christians and those who are too blinded by patriotism to see the mess Bush and Cheney have gotten us into in Iraq. This is why we've got to get the strongest Democratic candidate (Obama) and the most likely candidate to bring about significant change (Obama) nominated, and then elected.
