The Adventures of Captain Christopher

Ever wish your life was an action adventure story like those of Indiana Jones or James Bond. I used to think that would be the coolest thing in the world. What if I just had some voice narrating everything I did in some dramatic and action-packed way? Like how awesome would that be?! As I’ve gotten older, though, I’ve discovered that it would probably be a terrible idea for my life to be made a radio show. Want to know why? Because this is what it would sound like:

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and thank you for tuning in to 102.3 KLMB “The Boss” (Not a real radio station) On tonight’s episode of Lost in Life (not a real radio show), our hero is once again desperately trying to regain the rare and valuable Free-time-ium (not a real item). But with individuals such as Lord Stressage, Count Activities, and the Evil Dr. Homework (Not real people) hot on his trail, will our hero be able to make it to the the temple of serenity (Possibly a real place) in time? Find out NOW! *STATIC*

On second thought, maybe it would be a pick-me-up to hear Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones narrate my life in that kind of way. Maybe I wouldn’t be nearly so stressed. Allow me to offer you some advice: learn to say “no”. Learn to say “no” to activities you don’t want to get involved in, but you’re too nice to say so. Learn to say “no” to activities you want to get involved in but don’t have time for. Learn to say “no” to yourself when you want to do something but have other things you need to be doing. Basically, just learn to say “no”. It’s not worth it to be so overworked. Trust me, I’m there. And now that I’ve signed my soul away to all of these organizations, I’m stuck wondering how I’m going to deal with it all.
