Top 10 Ways to Get Distracted While Waiting on the Religion Gods

[TriGeek]

I have discovered that those who lack the discipline of Zen masters and Christian mystics need distraction to get through the gut stabbing anxiety that is the waiting.  So, here are my top ten ways to wait well.

 

10) Watch Chuck Norris movies (not really, but is sounds good cause cause Chuck could take the Dali Lama, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed in a street fight . . . duh!)

9) Proofread already published dissertations on nuclear physics and abstract math

8) Paint my wife's toenails

7) Read all the recipes in this month's Clean Eating magazine

6) Cook all the recipes in this month's clean eating magazine

5) Buy stuff online that I don't need, like vintage Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake dolls

4) Avoid GradCafe posts

3) Put milk, protein powder, curry, and pan fried habaneros into a blender, mix and imbibe

2) Swim, bike, run till I pass out

1) Touch my wife's belly, cause she's pregnant with our first child
