In my household/city/general area of existence, we have rules. Lots of rules. Some rules are good ones, like no playing in traffic on days that end in 'y'. But we have other rules too. Rules that are...well, to be frank, bad with a capital 'B'.
1. No Technology until 7:00. I still don't get this one. I never understand why I can't use the computer at 6:00 when I've finished all my chores and homework. every time I ask my mom why the rule is in place, she answers, without fail, "we've already had this conversation." I could probably accept it if she had a legitimate reason for the rule, but if it's unchangeable simply because my parents don't like to change rules, I'm against that.
2. No having your headphones on when no one is doing anything. Ok, the flaw in this one is quite obvious to me. If no one is doing anything, that seems the perfect time to isolate yourself from the world. But apparently not. I have to sort of just walk aimlessly around until I find something to occupy my time for a couple of minutes.
3. Ummm, I ran out of bad rules. didn't expect that to happen...
If you didn't have to walk aimlessly around without something someone else has created hammering into your head at top volume through earphones, you would never have created this blog. Or "Cycles." Same with spending all your high energy time playing games on the computer. Best these activities are done at the end of the day, when there is no daylight in which to play outside or create inside. OK. Now we really have gone over this. Again. XO
