Post a picture of your Greyhound True Adonis...And stop fcking with people here TA...You and I both know that you haved played Polo for some years now and used to be a pretty good cricket player before you got into hitting the weights...

Now that you have evolved into sipping absinthe and conversing over the stock market, you shouldn't forget your roots...

Good conditioning on that mutt, but it has terrible structure. A few more minor changes to the diet and hopefully good stage lighting and it may be in with a chance...
No doubt about it...

Adonis, do you also think watching movies is a waste of time? 
Depends on the movie. :)

It is a waste of life to watch any Will Ferrel movie, but entirely enriching to watch There Will Be Blood. Savvy?

Sports offer nothing of intellectual value once beyond the rules.

I mean when will the sports fan be fulfilled? The same thing happens every year.  If your team wins the Superbowl, what else is there to accomplish?  Will you be that much happier if they win it again?  How will your happiness differ? What is the pinnacle, you as a fan, are trying to reach or experience.

So what you're saying is if that something offeres no intellectual value, it is a waste of time?   Adonis, are you familiar with the definition of the word "value"

The Sports Fan is not only interested in the victory and success of his team, but the also the excitement of the battle; also watching the skill of individual athletes or groups of athletes working together.  Much of the time when watching a professional athlete peform, you are witnessing athleticism that is only attainable by probably even less then 1% of the population.  The western world was founded on the principles of the individual competing to be the best and to reach the highest pinnacles of his/her endeavor.  We appreciate the elite skill of the athlete as a form of entertainment as well as the thrill of the battle.

The only point that needs to be made here is that the terms "waste of time" and "value" are relative terms.

Since Adonis is so keen on copying and pasting, I'll do some of my own!

What is a Waste of Time?

by Steve ----Bookmark on del.icio.us----
I was digging through some boxes of old stuff, and I noticed something fascinating… Something that provoked a question about life that I’ve never asked before.

I stumbled upon my old report cards. After each subject was a space for a short comment. Every report card from 2nd thru 12th grade had two words describing my performance - WASTES TIME.

So I guess my teachers thought I wasted a lot of time. Looking back I suppose they were right - for me school was a waste of time.

But then I thought… Maybe I’m wrong… Maybe they were wrong too… I’ve never thought it through… I’ve never asked myself the question…

What exactly is a waste of time?

I’ve heard people say video games are a waste of time. I disagree. Video games can be the best of times.

A woman told me that she didn’t want to go to the lake with her boyfriend anymore because it was a waste of time. All he did was sit at the end of the dock with his cousin lighting bottle rockets and drinking beer. It sounds fun to me. I could spend a weekend that way.

As long as I can remember, I’ve always thought sleeping was a waste of time - a third of your life doing nothing.

My mother told me, that when I was a kid, I thought eating was a waste of time.

My two-year-old thinks going potty is a waste of time.

Some people say working hard and losing is a waste of time. Funny, I’ve learned more losing than I’ve ever learned winning.

The establishment said voting for Jesse Ventura was a waste of time because he couldn’t win. In retrospect, maybe it was a waste of time because he did win. But there is a lot to learn from his wasted time in office.

The hyper-scheduled nature of today’s world seems like a waste of time to me. I avoid scheduling my life as much as possible. When my calendar is full it seems like I have no time.

For the last month I have been trying to schedule two hours of unstructured play for my son and his best friend from school and we still haven’t found a time that works. The realization that we can’t find two hours for our 5-year-olds to play together without scheduling it several months in advance saddens me.

Which got me thinking… maybe all the time we spend trying to get everything done is the real waste of time, unless what we really enjoy is getting things done.

Do you ever stop and think… Why am I doing all this stuff?

Do you ever feel like your sole purpose in life is crossing things off lists and maintaining your calendar?

Maybe if you aren’t enjoying yourself, all your time is wasted. All that time we spend bored, frightened, angry, in a hurry, or unhappy, isn’t that the real waste of time?

For me, the time I value, is the time I have free after everything is done. The time I can spend reading, writing, playing games, walking in the woods, lighting a campfire, canoeing, or conversing with interesting people, all with carefree spontaneity.

Wasted time is relative, isn’t it?

Maybe that’s why my teachers all said I wasted time, because if I spent my time doing what I thought was valuable, I wasn’t doing what they thought was valuable. So I wasn’t really wasting anyone’s time, they just thought I was, because they didn’t take the time to understand what I valued.

A waste of time is doing something you dont...

enjoy
need to do

I see where the lot of you are coming from.

I feel the same way when I play an old video game sometimes.

Thank you for the insight.

It is more to do with the battle at hand than the culmination.  The "battle" is like a cake and the actual championship victory is the icing.  Even without icing, cake is still very delectable!

I think I have got a handle on it now.
