The title refers to what I said to cheer myself up after spending 2hours of my life on facebook doing nothing but checking out people’s pictures and status messages (on 19/01/2010). So what do I really consider time wasting?
2 hours ago – before now, I was locked up (by choice) in a room receiving lecture from one of the most popular guy if not the manager of the college dept . This is a typical lecture I receive every tuesday afternoon for the past 3 months but today’s lecture was so intense that I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. Why would people spend time making research in this field? Are we ever going to use this industry? Instead of listening attentively to the lecture, so many questions were running through my brain – How do I make money from these useful junk isn’t left out . Eventhough the content of the lecture wasn’t that great, as usual I was still able to laugh out some of his usual jokes – anyone that knows him can justify!.
My point today is – if time spent studying a course or a module you might probably not use during your life time isn’t a wasted time, so why would time spent having fun a wasted time? by default, we learn from everything we do in life, watching, listening, laughing, even sleeping (that’s not yet proven) so I thought I could justify my point. I think we should be free to do whatever makes us feel good. Don’t take life too serious guys, no one expected #haiti disaster or any of the major terrorist incidents. This is life, anything can happen. Just enjoy every moment and see what the future holds. Like Albert einstein would say, “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough”
Peace!

Very true, life is short, and everything is relative. Loving the Einstein quotes by the way!
Somebody’s a bum! haha! jokes 
It doesn’t matter if we spent a considerable amount of time doing things that are perceived as a useless waste of time so long as to US, we are not wasting our time.
Our life is our own and it is up to us what we do with any second we have on this earth, so long as we can live with the consequences and don’t delude ourselves that playing halo 20 hours a day, 365 days a year is our God given right and reason for existence.
I like your hint at the hypothetical potential of the fruitfulness of idle sleep.
