Thoughts on being lazy...

First off I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've sort of been on a writer's block, but more just being lazy. Anyways, I decided I wasn't all to interested in finishing off my Boundary Waters journal. Feel free to still send questions or comments to me, and I'll do my best to answer your requests.

Anyways, on to the topic at hand: Laziness

I'm not here to condemn laziness (although it isn't a good thing either), because just like everyone else I am quite lazy at times. Instead I'm here to talk about the two types of laziness I have defined over this past summer.

"To each his own" is a common enough phrase that applies to nearly everything, as well as laziness. There is only one way to define the different versions of laziness, by defining what's active in the action of being lazy.

The Action: We'll give a man a board and a saw. His task is to make two boards and to connect them. He may also use whatever other materials he can find.

1). The man is "Type A" lazy.
The man first saws the board in two. He then looks around for glue (because he wants an easy solution to his problem), and glues the two boards back together.

2). The man is "Type B" lazy.
The man first saws the board in two. He then cuts intricate groves into the two boards, and pushes them together. (He doesn't like having to move from his spot and have to find other materials)

There it is folks. Although come to think of it there are two other types.

3). The man is "Type C" lazy.
The man looks at his colleagues projects, and asks,"What's the point? They just put the board back together anyways." (Thus using his mind due to his unwillingness to do physical labor)

4). The man is "Type D" lazy.
The man looks at the board, and doesn't do anything. (He refuses to do physical labor, AND he refuses to put his mind to work finding an alibi)

Sincerely,
~That one Dude

So I was wondering.... if someone came up to you and asked you "what type of laziness would u be categorized in? Type A, Type B, Type C or Type D?" What would be your answer? ;-)
