Reasons to Justify Wasted Time
Last night while I was wasting time on the internet, I came across an article at Box of Crayons that didn’t have to beg for a click. I’m always on the lookout for reasons to justify my casual relationship with time, as well as most favored contemplative, zoned-out state of mind.
Wasting Time (6 Reasons why you Should)
Just change the title to Wasting Time (6 Reasons to Justify why you Should) and I’m there!
The article includes this video, Extreme Shepherding by BaaaStuds, in the name of all things joyful, pointless, fun and creative. Try not to be too disappointed when it turns out to be an ad at the end. I’m just glad these guys were paid to have so much fun.
Thanks to Elena at PR in your Pajamas for the link. For lots of inspiration visit Maternal Spark for more Monday’s Muse





Do you think there’s any chance this was done without CGI? If so, then it’s literally one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen.
Loved that video! It looked real, but I’m easily tricked, so who knows. It’s still cool.
I can’t believe you waste time on the internet. I would never do that….
Goats are supreme time wasters. They are the queens of wasting time. Also hay – we waste a lot of hay. But then again we have a lot of hay waste too…..
Oh, I feel so sorry for the sheep! I mean, sure the guys had fun, but did the sheep have fun?
Shawn, Whatever CGI is, I doubt it. It sounds important and I don’t know how this could be done without, you know – important stuff.
Vic, Neither you, nor I would ever waste time on the internet. I fudged on how I waste my time all in the name of story and public service. My favorite time waster is spying on my neighbors (not nearly as fascinating as yours) and watching my ceiling fans. xxx ooo
Pricilla, Hay! I’ll have to give that a try
Heather, Princess Sparkle will no doubt say the same thing. For what it’s worth, I’ve met a few sheep in my life, and all seem to like it as much as sheep like anything.
Awesome video…now I’m off to waste some time shaving my very hairy legs !!
This has nothing to do with this post and I’m running out of battery power and working remotely and also listening to She Wants Revenge and STILL trying to decide if I even like them or not but that could be a blog post even…*breath intake*…so I’ve always wanted to tell you when you comment on my blog that I wish there was no space!
Well, apart from outer where I know I certainly live.
No, that’s my point.
You know my whole Spock deal, right?
When I see you, I want to call you “Margom” like another alien being, too!
Okay, at least I’ve settled enough to start writing in proper separated sentences?
Erm…yeah.
*goofy face*
But really, Margom!
You wanted to know what CGI was?
Here you go from the Almighty Wiki:

Cheers,

Although, we have much more sophisticated technology than you humans.
What a Video!! Enjoyed it. made my day start great. I’ll be thinking about it all day. the things we find surfing.
That’s quite a cool video you have there missy. Somehow though, it takes all the romance and mystique out of herding.
You know, the poetry and the apple tree.
Thanks for sportin my TS button; I know, I know. I myself am an addict.
Dani, I should try that!
PA, glad to hear from you. I miss my home planet and I’m hoping the brethren miss me too. Thanks for the wiki def. I knew it was some important stuff.
Auntie E, Glad you liked it!
mannequin, I am a bit TS obsessed. I don’t miss the mystique and romance of shepherding, because I wasn’t fortunate to know there ever was any. After a few years of watching competitions on the BBC as Sunday night entertainment a few years back, the prospect of this was ruined.
