Cleaning

We are now firmly entrenched in the no-man's land between Christmas and New Year's. The days between the 25th and 31st should have an official name in my opinion, and no, the "holiday season" does not cut it. For me personally these next few days are like a black hole of productivity. I have traditionally used this time to do absolutely nothing significant (you are probably thinking that could also describe any weekend for me, and you are probably right). The days seem to float by and my time is taken up by the following activities:

1)Sleep
2)Eating junk food
3)TV
4)Internet
5)Sleep

What, jackpot! This seems like the perfect day in the life of Carl, right?

Wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I love being lazy as much as the next oaf, but I am tired of living in a black hole of productivity. A black hole is a region of space which has a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even my stellar work ethic, can escape it. Who would want to live there?

So here I find myself, typing this blog and contemplating what I need to do before New Years Day. Trust me folks, I have plenty I could/should do. Having stuff to do is not the issue. I KNOW what I need to do first, but the pull of the black hole is strong. Here is where this blog comes in--for accountability. What I am going to attempt has never been successfully done before (in my life at least). I am going to clean and organize my apartment, top to bottom, wall to wall, in the next 12 hours. 12 hours probably seems like an eternity to you, the reader (I hope someone is still reading), especially considering that my apartment is not that large. But here is what I am up against: I hate cleaning, I have a very short attention span, I don't have space for all my crap, and most importantly, my apartment is disgustingly messy. This is no easy challenge my friends.






I will post throughout the 12 hour race against the clock/test of my willpower. Wish me luck.
