'Procrastination is our substitute for immortality, we behave as if we have no shortage of time' — Benjamin Kunkel
It's from his debut novel (above).
Worth reading if only for that sentence: the rest is lagniappe.

That sounds right to me.
And I'm just sitting here, pretending to be immortal, because I really have to mow the front yard, and I went up and got gas in the can and checked the oil and cleaned out the crap around the blade and all so I could get right on it, but it's 95 degrees out there and really humid and miserable, and I'd rather be immortal inside in the cool than mortal outside in the hot. And so I sit here fooling around and listening to Motown tunes on YooToob and heckling the felines who are also feeling unhappy and mortal about the climate, and making pointless comments right here and checking my latest eBay thing every five minutes to see if it's got any more bids (I even had an evil passing thought about putting a link to it right here but my good self said, no, no, you must not foul the air around Joe's blog with your grubby self-interests, even though you are balanced on the edge of total impoverishment -- no, no! So I didn't. And it's nothing anybody would want anyhow.)
