I predict that in 2006 people world-wide will heed my call to rise up and work again no more. I don't know about you but I'm tired and I need a year off of anything resembling work. Let us be idle. Let us take to heart the words of German philosopher Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: "Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy." Yes, our commitment to leisure is essential to our spiritual and social well-being, and our enlightened state includes a strict regimen of sleeping, surfing and getting drunk. Or as Aristotle observed, "The first principle of all action, is leisure." Cicero seemed to agree, "Repose is an essential condition of happiness." Horace asked, "Why do we strive so hard in our brief lives for great possessions?" Why indeed. One need only look to the Industrial Revolution to see how to turn a population of strong-willed, independent,heavy-drinking, party- oriented, riot-loving, life-loving population of Englishmen into a docile, diciplined, greatful workforce.
Karl Marx's son in law, Paul Lafargue was idling in a relatively luxurious political prison when he argued that the Old Testament God "gave his worshipers the supreme example of ideal laziness; after six days of work, he rests for all eternity." Lafargue believed if each person pitched in for three hours a day, between naps and "juicy beefsteaks" in his utopian "regime of idleness" the world could produce everything it required- and more.
So won't you join me and be part of my regime ? If your not with me, your with the enemy. And the enemy is work.
mmmm. juicy beefsteaks.

1. Summer of 2006 will be the flattest on record. Beating 2002,2003,2004, and 2005.
2. Some kneeboarding madman will tow into a GIANT wave somewhere, with photos to prove.
3. Mike Kennedy (SMOKING ROCK) will add to his already abundant adipose tissue, but for some strange reason his reflexes will improve. This will result in even more people asking: Did you see that fat guy ripping?
4. There will actually be a Hawaiian kneeboarding gathering NOT during the winter. The participants can actually enjoy each others company without having the FEAR that comes with February in Hawaii.
5. The Worlds will be a huge hit, making clueless footboarders hate us even more and clued-in ones grow fonder.

My prediction for 2006...

hey kneecaps,
i know what your saying mate,i guess i'm fortunate that i'm self employed so i have alittle bit more control over when i do and dont work.
i guess i'm at that age where i'm begining to aquire things and these things(houses cars and other bullshit) have the potential to own me.
at this point i haven't bitten off more than i can chew but its a fine line we tread.
i just gotta keep the greed monster in check
besides that i was working 7 days a week for 6 weeks leading to christmas to keep all the freaks who want their four week building projects finished for christmas so that their friends can come and be envious
and i'll probably do similar hours leading up to my trips away.
so in a way my percieved freedom is paid for in other ways
and i'm lucky to be able to do it
