virtues and vices

the new blogger user interface asked me if, because i push snooze on my alarm clock, i was lazy. nope. i typed. just tired.

and if i were to go into it -- i'd go so far as to say that its much more of a symbol of my ambition in tension with my finitude.

it is my ambition that drives me to set my alarm clock to 5 or 5:30 every morning -- mostly so i can have writing time. it is my exhaustion that often motivates me to take a few minutes of rest before i attack the day.

so laziness isn't my vice -- nor is ambition my virtue.

i'm quite confident, though that *distraction* is my vice -- is well roundedness the accompanying virtue?

ambition + distraction is the equivalent of a driverless vehicle careening forward on a full tank of gas.

peace~
