King of the Procrasti Nation

It goes without saying that I've often been one to operate under the motto, "why do today what can be done tomorrow or a few weeks down the road." It more than likely started at birth where I was at least 3 weeks overdue before I decided to make my exterior debut.

Even tonight, after making up my mind I wanted to blog, I still took my sweet ol' time getting down to my office and getting on my PC. First there was a six-year old that needed attention while Mommy and the other two kids were at religion classes.

Then, after exhausting other entertainment choices, my six year old decided after perusing nearly all 100 channels our cable system brings into our home each day that seeing "Legally Blonde" for the umpteenth time was our best option. I could have turned it to Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon to distract him, but then I realized that darn Reese Witherspoon is so adorable and for some reason I always enjoy the courtroom scene where Reese's character miraculously saves her client. So, of course, I had to watch it 'till the end which created another dilemma -- explaining to my wife and other two kids the reason why I was watching "Legally Blonde" was the fact our youngest requested it. What I had failed to realize was at that moment he was forming a puddle of drool on the armrest of my recliner obviously meaning he had been lights out since around the time Reese's character got accepted into Harvard Law and well before the rest of Team Hildebrandt got home.

Anyway, shortly after the return of the rest of the fam and after Reese's character saved the day in addition to graduating at the top of her class from Harvard Law, I was working my way downstairs to blog when my wife reminded me that one of my other guilty pleasures (besides Reesee Witherspoon flicks...I fell hard for her in "Walk the Line") was up next ... that naughty Fx show "Nip/Tuck", so I plopped back down into the chair for another hour of mindless oggling of my TV screen.

Finally, after Drs. McNamara and Troy had endured another episode of debauchery and malpractice, I was able to work up the strength to drag my procrastinatin' arse to the computer and wouldn't you know it ... I couldn't remember what I was going to blog about so I figured it would be best to at least type something so here you are ... my self-designation as King of the Procrasti Nation.
