If there is one thing that I am good at. It's doing nothing at all! Talk about a wasted day.

"I'm busy doing nothing, nothing the whole day through,
Trying so hard to find things not to do"

That's the couple of lines that popped into my head when I saw your post. Any ideas what that song was? Was it from some musical or other?

Now this is what I wanted. I'm glad too see you guys are not takeing this post too seriously. I don't think that was from the Wizard Of OZ.

Hey thanks, Tony Mads. Funny thing is that movie was on CBC on Sunday afternoon - I must've snoozed right through the part where song played.

Now that I am good at doing nothing, I need to be good at doing something. Now if I can just get myself motivated.

You will be good at doing something if you're trying to do it as good as you did nothing...

There were 3 of 'em singing Busy Doing Nothing. Crosby, William Bendix and another whose name eludes me. No doubt some will know.

HEY! Guess What? I actually did something today. Woohoo! I got gas for my car and bought some gorceries. Plus I bought an air duct grill for my office. Okay so this was not much but at least I did something. Next thing to do is buy a treadmill. Need to start working out. Need to feel the burn and pain.

Actually I did find something else to do. I have decided to take a break from synthesizers for awhile. I put my Juno-D back into it's orignal box.

Wasn't "Seinfeld" billed as a show about nothing ? It was quite a success though wasn't it ? Perhaps you could write a whole album or a book about nothing. Who Knows.. ?
