Contemporary Primitive

I have to make decisions that I don't want to make today.  I will probably let circumstances make them for me.  I am like that too often.  Flip a coin.  Take a chance.  Let's see where things end up.  I can't even tell you what I would like to do.  Sleep, maybe, that is all.  I am lazy and ambitious.  I push myself too hard and then do nothing.  There.  Now I have made my dating profile.  Let's see how that works.
