Sometimes I wonder if I am the personification of procrastination. If I were to look up the definition for procrastination in a dictionary, I would genuinely not be surprised to see my own face grinning back at me. If procrastination were an Olympic sport, I would probably win the gold medal. If I ever got…

Unleash Your Lethargy
Sorry that I didn’t Do that thing I said I’d do I didn’t get around to it Because I didn’t want to It’s not that I am lazy (Though you could say that of me) But I really see no purpose In being as busy as a bee It’s hard to really care about A…
Sofa Loafer
Sitting on my sofa Is where I like to be It might not be exciting But it’s just right for me I don’t crave adventure I don’t need a quest I’d rather put my feet up And have a little rest It’s really not the height Of furniture design But for a lazy evening My…
Distractions
Tim looked longingly out of his window. The sky was blue, the sunlight was reflecting brightly off the white wall of the convenience store across the road and the trees that lined the more affluent streets at the far end of his own were swaying gently in the breeze. There was still something of a…
James Complains About Not Having Written Anything
It’s the first Monday in September and like many teachers I’m obliged to go back to work after a six-week hiatus. Obviously, I expect very little sympathy from the non-teachers out there. Clearly, it’s hard, if you don’t get six weeks off, to sympathise with anyone who hasn’t had to go to work for the…
Even I Don’t Know What This Post Is About And I Wrote It
I’m in work as I write this. Which might seem a bit naughty, because one should never use work time for blogging and I absolutely never would. It’s not ok to blog during work time. The above paragraph was written on the basis that although there’s no chance my boss ever reads my blog, if…
Sofa So Good
Oh hallowed throne of relaxation I sit here in shallow content Though there may be some procrastination That wasn’t my intent For while I may have much to do Tasks I should complete I shall not achieve much today For I’m only on episode two Of a boxset that is quite a treat So on…
The Elephant In The Room
Hello people of the blogosphere. I’m back after something of an unplanned hiatus from the world of blogging. I wasn’t sure what to write about for this post – on the one hand my first post in a while ought to be a spectacular affair, both witty and profound, irreverent yet informative, offering reassurances to…
Never Judge A Duck By Its Cover
Sometimes I look like I’m working hard Paying each task I have due regard But an observant view Will reveal it’s not true My work ethic is quite the canard
Busy doing Nothing
Procrastination A fine way to pass the time When you have no time
A Blog Post, Written In The Form Of A Poem, That Tells You I’m Too Busy To Blog, But Still Might Continue To Blog, To Avoid Doing The Task That I Should Be Doing
I’m busy now Which is a pain It means I must break From blogging again It can’t be helped Though it is a bore But I must complete Some other chores
Reading in Reading
I’m writing this from inside a library. Not just any library but an actual university library. Where people come to study. In fact it’s the main library of the University of Reading. The University of Reading is so-called because it is in the town of Reading in Berkshire, England, rather than because it is a…
An Incomplete Explanation About Why James Didn’t Proclaim
It’s one of those conundrums that I think many of us bloggers go through. I’ve been through it before in previous incarnations of my online journal but this is the first time since ‘James Proclaims’ began. Essentially I’ve had a sustained period of ‘not blogging’. It’s been almost three weeks since my last post, which…
Screen Time
Brightest beacon of Purest procrastination I watch to avoid
I can’t decide if it actually would have been better to procrastinate than to write this post
As I explained yesterday, I’m a little behind on Writing 101. It doesn’t matter. It’s not like they’re going to kick me off the course or that it’ll affect my final grade. I don’t even get a final grade. I should get a final grade. It would clearly be an A. Having said that, if…
