Captains Log

Pure insanity, ludicrous i told them, but when i turned on the TV it was right there in front of me, there was another person spending there Tuesdays with a guy named Morrie. What're the odds that someone else had a friend named Morrie and they spent their Tuesdays with him too. It was a Tuesday afternoon (obviously) that i was watching TV with my good chum Morrie and we seen a special about a guy named Morrie, you would have imagined our astonishment at the fact they were also publishing a book. When i actually read it i realized it had nothing to do with what me and Morrie were doing, in fact they were so far off i kinda thought they were wasting their Tuesdays, until i realized that in reality me and Morrie were the ones not doing anything. Ironically me and Morrie were their opposites in the sense that we weren't life changing go getter's dead set on making things better, hell if anything we were the opposite we encouraged each other to do less then what we were capable of, we were poster boys for underachievement. When we seen the dateline episode with the "Other" Morrie we instantly knew these guys were different from us and we laughed when we read what kind of professor the guy was. When the book came out we read it and thought we'd get some sort of kick out of it, but it really changed our perspective on things and put them in place. It made me think that i should really be puttin the brakes on slacking off and really get down to work so now i have a job and now ive got a new lease on life as does morrie, hes now the CEO of his own company, its not a big one but he can still bring it up in casual conversation. In conclusion i respect what Morrie and Mitch have done for their tuedays, but i won't take part in it entirely, there is certain kernal of truth to what they were doing, there is No such thing as "Too Late".
