basic maintenance
i have the day off to write comments. i have 70 students and should write about a page for each of them. unfortunately, the life-long plague of basic maintenance is slowing my roll.
i have accepted, grudgingly, that i will be flossing and brushing and shaving and the like for the rest of my life. there have been nights were the idea of washing my face fills me with rage. i've washed it a million times. why can't the damn thing stay clean?
but today the grocery store, the DMV, the UPS store, traffic, dusting, all that has exhausted me. no writing has happened, minus forging my mom's signature on a document.
but (i know, stop being a contrarian to your own opinion) i also find odd satisfaction in checking things off lists. dry cleaner? done! got gas? done and done! put that letter in the mailbox? ain't no stopping me now!
my dad's dream is to have a machine like the one on the jetson's. you step on to the treadmill and it performs your basic maintenance for you. you just kind of stick your arms out for the shirt to go over your head. how sweet would that be? it would leave sooo much more time for errands!

if you lived in tulum you would also have plenty of time for errands, since hair washing on a regular basis, dry cleaning, and general cleanliness would be unnecessary.
then you would have all the time in the world for drum circles and mayan floatation tanks.
Unless you stay at that Hotel Azul Place. for 800 bucks a night you'd be required to wash your face.
And I don't think they have drum circles. LAME.
