Kryptonite

I have one, you have one, he has one, she has one, everyone has one; you know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about kryptonite, the achilles heal that belongs to everyone. Every superhero we crave and drool over has their weakness. We all know that Superman fails when he comes near kryptonite, and we all know what venom, soon to be carnage, did to Spiderman. That reminds me, the next time I need a username to sign up for something, it will be something that relates to my superheroes.

I am trying extremely hard not to be miserable about my English research paper; however, it hasn't worked out the way I wanted to. The only thing that isn't allowing me to do well on my paper is my kryptonite; yes I have a really lame kryptonite, and that is laziness. But year after year, my laziness gets the best of me and I can't put good effort into things that I do - more specifically school. My laziness is so bad, that I don't have a work ethic at all. Just take a look at this moment, right now; I am writing a blog entry instead of doing my research paper. To cut myself some slack, though, I am really struggling on what I want to write about on this paper. I did not read deep enough into the novel to be able to recall, by memory, all the events that happened so I could come up with something. I could go on and on about how I am having trouble with this essay, but that would just bore the hell out of the few people that actually read this.

So, back to my kryptonite. Many people tell me to just get off my butt and get to work, but it's really hard for me to do that. The laziness I possess isn't a "don't feel like doing it" kind of laziness; mine goes far beyond any procrastination that everyday people experience. I know everyone has something that is similar to my laziness. Think about it, what is the one weakness you possess that you just cannot seem to overcome, no matter what? I am talking about the one aspect in your life that when people tell you to just correct it, your response is, "I wish it was that easy."

Well, you're only as good as your weakest part, and laziness absolutely KILLS me. If I was a harder worker, I would be spending a lot less of a time writing about these things that I fail at.
