Time

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

—Bertrand Russell

People often have different definitions of what wasting time means. I know of a lot of people who were told when they were younger that they were wasting time because they were doing something they enjoyed. Maybe they were day dreaming, doodling, or even reading a book, but if you think about it, the imagination of poets and writers comes from their day dreams, great artists began as doodlers, and reading is how we learn. We agree with Bertrand Russell that if you enjoyed what you are doing, then you’re not wasting your time.

Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a British mathematician, philosopher, and public intellectual.

About Joe

Unknown's avatar
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    Joe, I may have replied to this via my temporary gmail.
    I think the model is British, or a dead ringer for him. He’s adorable, athletic, has a brain and if he is the one I have in mind, he won’t do nudes.

    I will try to locate him.

    Look up Freddie Pearson. A professional English model. There are masses of his images via Google

      While it does resemble Freddie Pearson, I did some reverse image searches. It’s actually a model named Noah Teicher. The picture is part of a photo shoot called “Study Break.” If you google “Noah Teicher Study Break” you should see come across a picture of him in the same outfit and on the same couch. You can see those pictures on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/45069485@N03/with/18836323926.
