The Average Mind Part II

There is a saying: "If you need something done, let a busy man do it." Until now, I never understood what this meant. If a man is busy, how can he have time to do what you want him to? Now, I understand what this means.
My karate instructor, Robert Cizma, said this after my red belt testing two weeks ago. Now, the night before my first High School Musical performance of two (the second being this Tuesday night,) and my Bar Mitzvah drawing ever nearer, I find myself busier than ever, with absolutely no leisure time. Well, ok, I get some, but, I could use some more. What happened before Sunday rehersals for the play, karate was a mere hobby, a simple something for me to do every Sunday evening. However, for some unfathomable reason, I have become much more serious, to the point where I think my adreneline has actually in use.
Now, the night before the performance, I understand. Kinda like "You learn something new everyday." My father says the worst curse you can give someone is that they should not be busy. I guess this is true.
Now, all I have to do is break a leg tomorrow at the play. And an arm. Maybe a neck too, if I am lucky. Ha ha ha, I know, I am going to be a great comedian when I grow up.

God save us from Ami the "comedian".Come on, it's unfair that you posted this THE NIGHT BEFORE THE PLAY!!! That's something that would get me plenty scared and my blood pumping faster than ever.
