Caveat: Never doing anything

"I don't know why you want to live in the city.  You never do anything."  This is what my friend (and now boss), Mun-chan said to me, once, when I was telling him about the trials and tribulations of my life in exile down south.

And.  He's right.  Now that I'm back… I don't do much.  I sometimes develop a plan to do something, but then, I don't do it.  Yesterday, it was raining, and I lost my motivation to go out and about.  So, what's the point of life "in the city"?  I like the accessibility of things.  And, I've come firmly to believe that urban life – especially high-density urban life – is actually a lower-impact, higher-sustainability type of lifestyle.  That means something to me, I guess.

So I guess I'll get back to not doing anything.
