Procrastination

My god i have school in three hours, i have massive amounts of work and i really don't see myself doing it anytime soon. All of this can be attributed to my time perception. basically theres 6 main personalities in accordance to time perception 2 focused on the past 2 focused on the present and 2 focused on the future. there are those f us who are too nostalgic and only think about the good old times they are the one who usually keep family records and traditions alive. The reverse of this are people who are consumed by regret of the things they could have done or changed this is usually the ex girlfriend who calls you at 4 am saying they want to talk. there are also two ways to be present oriented either you are hedonistic where you only live for pleasure and you avoid pain or there are those who refuse to plan because they say their life is fated and they don't have control of it typically religious or run down by poverty. Most of us are future oriented we have learned to resist temptation and to work rather then play. Then there are those who are focused on the absolute extreme of planning and that is those of us who believe that life starts only with the death of the mortal body. this concept of how you perceive time effects nearly every aspect of well..everything. a country that is more associated with the Protestant religion has a higher national out put then a catholic one. this even affects politics there is a movement in Italy called la legia all they want is to cut Italy in half right under Tuscany.The people in the north say that they do all the work and the south is just dead weight who like their 15 hour dinners and such while people in the south say that the north isnt even Italian they are German they eat yogurt instead of pasta. the people in the north are shown to be more future oriented while the south tends to be more hedonistic or past oriented. If you are familiar with the Sicilian dialect you will know that there is not to to be verb you can say what you did what your doing but not what you will do. we all start life as present hedonists we want the bottle/Brest but through school and what we learn we are turned into a more future oriented people. if you have ever wondered why someone who is smart has a low GPA this is probably why their brain is wired in such a way that school doesn't provide that instant gratification  they are looking for. you will also notice that the just say no drug message is specifically designed for a future oriented mind which understands that already. This concept can be used to explain why parents don't understand their kids especially now we are undergoing a revaluation in time everything must be done faster more efficiently this is wonderful for the future oriented minds but they are going to end up leaving the rest behind. I hope you enjoyed my 3 oclock rant
