Ok, this breakdown is kind of scary. It's been a while since I've sat down and broken down my weekly activities, and according to this not only am I hermit, but I'm a hermit who sits on his ass most of the time. This is a little discouraging. I used to work out often (mostly jogging and cardio), but a small accident put that on hold, but I think it's about time I get myself back out there. When it comes to leisure activities that bring me the most joy, it would have to be going out to the city. I love spending time in the city, whether it's just strolling through central park or bugging out at a club. I really think I could be putting in a lot more effort to get away from the tv/pc and explore this great city some more.
I found the Story of Stuff very informative, scary, and quite an eye opener. This country has basically become one big retail store, and we're all either buying or selling. Don't get me wrong I enjoy shopping, even though my synopsis might not exactly reflect that (c'mon people financial crisis), but the fact that our entire purpose revolves around buying and selling...it's kind of depressing. God Bless Capitalism, huh? I'm one to talk though, I work at Sears, so spend spend spend means I can pay my bills bills bills. It's funny how the system can make one become so dependent on it...or maybe it's us (well some of us) that allow ourselves to become dependent on the system...until we become the system...
And since I'm using film to make a point, I'll leave off with a small excerpt from Fight Club. Thankyou for Chewing.

A hermit! So I guess we all can admit that one. I don't have the time to really watch too much television, but when I do I overdo it!
Miguel, I love your sense of humor.
And the picture of the Matrix dude(forgot his name although I LOVED the movie)
Genius!
Lol everyone is guilty of watching T.V for hours and hours. The only way to break out from this cycle is to have a plan for the future or a goal towards something in your life. well good luck on changing your habits!
