Alarm clocks kill dreams

This is the slogan of the Canadian Work Less Party.

It appeals to me a lot. I haven't read much of their site, so don't think that I advocate all of their policies, but the idea is a good one. Not just in a slobby student why-can't- I -stay-in-bed-all-day way, but a rebellion against the pointless treadmill of working for money, so you can spend it on stuff that other people have spent their time making... getting more tired and stressed by trying to make life better.

There are countless things I would like to do with my time which I simply don't 'have time' to do...

I have a pile of books which I'd love to read, if only I made time.

I have several canvases lying blank, with paints in tubes, just begging for life and creativity to be applied through one onto the other.

I have more unreplied-to emails and letters from wonderful friends, which I have long failed to reciprocate, than I care to uncover. If this is you, please forgive me... and write again.

There are many things I'd love to learn to do, where the most difficult part is simply to get around to trying.

Now I'm going to leave this computer and do a bit of the above.
Why not do the same?
