Waiting for Tomorrow

In the Spirit of a New Year

We are all waiting.

Some are waiting to get on the plane. Others are waiting to get off the plane.

We are waiting for dinner to be ready, and then we are waiting for bed.

When finally in bed, we are waiting to sleep, which, if you really look at it, is waiting for absolutely nothing.

We do the same when we wake up. Some of us even wait in bed with the anticipatory dread of all the waiting that awaits.

Some write to-do lists, which is waiting in the future for stuff you have to get done.

When we go to the gym, we are waiting for muscle to build or fat to go away. This type of waiting sucks bullocks.

Bullocks is used colloquially by folks in the UK to express their distaste for stupid things.

It also means testicles.

Speaking of testicles, aren’t they just babies that are waiting?

You are probably waiting for an Amazon package to arrive.

Isn’t everyone?

What if you order a rice cooker? Well then, once it arrives, aren’t you just waiting again until the rice cooks?

Even the Earth is waiting.
