imagination is more important than knowledge

I've come to realize lately that I've been having more and more ideas of shit I want to write and just do when I get back home. On the days where I have some time off, I find myself writing quite often, not just the blog, but also more short stories, adding a few extra paragraphs to Faint, the book I started last year, and just concepts for other stories I'd like to one day start if I get out of here alive. When I think about it, I probably shouldn't even be writing, let alone write these blogs, as I should probably spend the time studying, but I love to write and personally find it more important than med school because simply put, I enjoy it more, and the brief chances I get of doing what I love is what keeps me going on this rock.

With the unusual changes in lifestyle from my norm, my general condition, hygiene, diet, health, sanity, etc, has been declining. To make up for that, I've decided on a few things I'm going to do first thing when I land back on flat, non-erupting, internet friendly, food worthy, population dense, water running, technology rich, snow covered ground.

1. Turn the faucet on and keep it running for the next week. I need to waste the water I've been conserving somehow right?
2. Lock myself in a movie theater and catch up on every single movie I've been missing for the past 4 months.
3. Sell all the low priced alcohol I bought here to stupid high school kids to make back the money spent for med school.
4. Eat 4 months worth of missed meals.
5. Go to the gym and work out for 6 weeks straight non-stop without rest.
6. Take all my pent up anger and beat the fuck out of the first bird I see.
7. Open a Taco Bell back on the island and make bank. Seriously, I found myself saying I want taco bell more often than I said I hate this place. True story.
8. Find a Taco Bell and drain the state of taco shells.
9. Burn every textbook within a mile of my house
And finally.
10. Sleep. There's nothing I love more in this world than my fantastically soft, pillow covered bed.
