After reading many of the comments from HN, I decided it was time to explore the counter of Procrastinate until you're ready ( http://www.victusspiritus.com/2009/09/14/procrastinate-until... )

Here's a link to the original HN discussion ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821462 )

a. My Latin isn't what it might be, but I have a hard time not reading 'victus' as the participle, "conquered."

b. The picture really adds to the message, doesn't it? You, too, can be hyper and cute, like a terrier in a sweater.

c. "This however doesn’t stop me from trying at least a once per week." Jogging once per week is no way to approach it.

a) I keep getting that feedback on victus, but here's my definition, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/victus the noun part is first. Funny how living/way of life and conquered share a word :D

b) I'm jealous of doglike energy, can you blame me

c) I walk about 70-110 miles per week, it's something about my sluggish nature. I can jog, but it takes a huge amount of inertial to get me to do it. Usually this energy plateau only happens for me about once per week.

Fuck that. How about others participate in this rat race and I relax and enjoy the shortass life I've been lucky to get, ay?

Hey, that's cool too and what I first mentioned: http://www.victusspiritus.com/2009/09/14/procrastinate-until...

I just finished sprinting for 40seconds. Had to slow down with my ears pounding and hands shaking. Gotta improve on that :)
