One of the best movies I've seen twice
Most people correlate half-assed behavior with laziness. These people couldn’t be more wrong and, not to mention, insensitive. I may or may not be making this up, but laziness is inaction derived from a lack of motivation. You’re a lazy-ass when you have stuff to do and you don’t do it. It’s like not calling your mother when she’s on her death bed to ask forgiveness for being such an awful person. There’s no greater goal you want to accomplish in this scenario. It’s an obligation you choose not to fulfill for no other reason than you’re a lazy idiot.
Action derived from motivation to do something else is what half-assing is about. You’re a half-ass when you’re doing it, but you’re just doing it like a schmuck. See that’s the half part; you made an attempt…you schmuck. You’re half-assing it when you mopped the kitchen floor with your socks and Dr. Pepper instead of a mop and Pine Sol because you don’t want to miss a minute of Men In Black on TBS. You gave it the old “college try” which is less than was asked of you. (BTW – Will Smith is good; have you seen Hitch? See it, I’m thinking you’ll love it.)
There is an additional qualification to be made here. When a half-assed mentality is mixed with procrastination, laziness is borne. To count as half-assed, you have to have attempted to perform the activity even if that means just showing up and throwing a conniption fit. You’ll be tempted many times not to fulfill an obligation before moving directly to one of the pleasurable activities that you prefer doing. That’s fine. But know this: Eventually, you will need to fulfill that obligation and when the time comes, you’d better man up and at least pretend you did something. Otherwise, you stand being labeled a good-for-nothing lazy-ass (worse than death). Wasting as little of your precious time as possible with the sh*tty crap is the mark of a true half-asser. That’s all I’m saying.
