I'd like to believe that I am an exciting person, I'm a person that is all about doing at least one thing a day that is crazy and wacky. After all I'm spontaneous, bubbling to the brim with life, forever filled with a sense of excitement and adventure. Let's face it, danger is my middle name.
Sigh, Like I said it's what I'd like to believe.
In fact I think we all like to believe that we're all individuals that do what we want, when we want. Unfortunately, we are all just slaves to routine.
You can disagree all you want, but it doesn't matter how you look at it.
My colleague "BWSP" claims he chooses to do what he does. He chooses to do the following tasks every morning of every day for God only knows how many years: Brush teeth, make coffee, pull up on a chair, grab newspaper, sip on coffee, read newspaper. This goes on for at least an hour.
I myself wake up every morning, play some music, brush my teeth, take a dump and follow it up with a shower.
There are other routines I have, like taking a small break everyday at work around 5 PM, taking a smoke break every day after "Dinner" which by the way needs to take place regularly at 9 PM. It doesn't even matter that I generally don't have any "dinner" and just end up snacking on whatever junk our canteen passes for food. Hell, I don't even smoke. Yet, everyday without fail BWSP and I carry out this process of "Dinner" and smoke. In his defense, he actually does eat dinner and he does smoke.
What I've realised is scary about everything is that I'll wake up one morning after 20 years that I just spent the entire time doing the exact same thing every morning. That my ardent readers is a scary thing.
So, whats the point of this entire post? Nothing really, I just wanted to make all of you realise that maybe you all aren't as spontaneous as you'd like to believe. Yes, I can be very cruel.
So when you wake up 20 years from now, just know that I warned you.

yeah, you are so right. i have woken up every morning, done the loo thing, brushed teeth and showered, grabbed a bite and headed out to work. And i have worked and worked and worked - for FORTY whole years! imagine that!!! and i guess will continue to do so till i wont be around to do so any more... and that's when the "routine' will come to an end... frankly i am glad there is a routine because it means we are alive and we have a job to go to!!! yehhhh....
'Slave to the routine" - HA! How dare you tarnish my name. In fact, just this morning I took my dog to the vet, cleaned Dominique and only then read my paper!
everything becomes routine after some time
