About A Boy

As I start off another 11am morning rudely awoken by the construction going on next door, I began to wish I were Will. Will is the protagonist in Nick Hornby's 'About A Boy'. Will does nothing for a living. Yep, absolutely nothing. He lives off royalties from his father's one-hit wonder Christmas song.

Will is cool too. He has a cool haircut, a cool flat, cool clothes, a cool car. Only he is a bit of a loser sometimes. But he gets paid a fortune for doing nothing. This book amuses me. It's always important to be amused when one is unemployed.

Anyhow since I'm not Will, this is how I start a typical day.

Wake up at 10.30am.
Have a drink.
Take a shower.
Turn on the computer.
In order, I check emails, facebook, Seek, My Career, Real Estate. Ok, the other day I got a bit distracted and also went to check out cars.
Have lunch with my parents.
Come back and work on my website content a little bit.
Maybe write one article/work on my e-book.
Have dinner with my parents.
Watch TV.
Go back to the internet.
Read a book to try to sleep at a decent hour.
End up going to bed at 3am, tossing and turning.
Repeat all of the above.

I love my life.
