# Søren Kierkegaard:
Being idle is, as people tell, the root of all things evil. As to avoid evil, people normally recommend working. Yet one understands easily from as well the reason as the cure that the whole saying is of plebeian extraction. Being idle is not at all the root of evil, on the contrary it is a true divine life, when one is not bored. Being idle may lead to economical losses, yet one's inner nobility fears not outer losses, it only fears to be bored. The Gods of Olympos were not bored, they lived happily in idleness (...) So being idle is far away from being the root of evil - it is a blessing. Being bored is the root of evil, and it must be kept away. So one may add that people who have never dedicated themselves to idleness, and have no sense so ever therefore, have not really dedicated themselves to human life. There exists unseizable activities which exclude a man [or a woman] from the spiritual world and thereby categorizes him [or her] together with animals, since he [or she] instinctively always has to be in motion (...) Well, since people believe that it is man's determination to work, then it makes an antithesis between idleness and work. I for one assume that it is man's determination to be amused, and I feel not that my antithesis [amusement vs. work] is any more erroneous.

# kind of warm and fuzzy
like when you wake up before the alarm goes off and you can lie there all snuggly for another half an hour.
that's a good feeling.

# the best cure for insomnia
is a hot cup of camomile tea and a few space cakes. makes you see little triangles if you eat too many of them, though.

# i used to host fright nights
once a month, me and my mates would get an ounce. half went into cakes, the other half got smoked. it went down well with the vodka jelly. there were only 5 of us, so we were all pretty well monged.
