interesting or just a waste of time!?

July 12, 2012 10:59pm CST
my cousin and I works at the same company and at the same department thus, we share the same office schedule. every morning we get to go to work together with his father (my uncle) who drives their pick-up truck going to work, which happens to be working in a electric company few kilometers from our office, and so his father would just pick us up at our office every afternoon (after work) where my cousins hobby takes place. my cousin have this weird hobby where he would just put a piece of paper on his knee and hold a pen on it while the truck is moving to make a scribbled image. at first i thought its just a stupid idea to do that, but there's this one time that he showed me one scribbled image where you could see two dog's fighting, well its not that clear but you could actually tell that those are dogs but not quite sure if they really is fighting, maybe they're just playing but whatever. well its an interesting thing to do to kill time where its actually a one hour trip. its interesting but i would not do that, i would rather go to sleep and rest. hehehe just sharing my cousins hobby to you guys who travels a lot. do things, kill time and scribble guys. =) by the way i wanted to post an image but my cousin throws them after . . .

Well, if it keeps him occupied then I think it's okay, but I would personally choose your decision over his. I would like to take advantage of that time to give myself some rest or sleep after a day's work. This hobby of your cousin is interesting though, one that I would want to try out sometime on a long bumpy trip.

I admired the talent of your cousin. Making use of his time to be productive can be rewarding too. So it's just a hobby of him, maybe there will come a time when he will perfect his drawing hobby and it could him an opportunity to earn extra for his hobby. So I guess it's not a waste of time for him because he is being productive in his spare time.

Oh, I see. Maybe it's just a mannerism of him. Instead of getting idle especially if he can not make himself to sleep during such long hours ride going home after work. Doing the same thing or practicing his drawing skill, maybe time will come he will perfect it.

uhm he doesnt make his drawings perfect he just lets the pen scribble and wait if he could come up to something, and it is indeed a productive way of killing time, but he throws his masterpiece away hehe . . .

Sometimes, having a long time travel can be exhausting and tiring, so you better look for something to kill the time and kill the boredom. Doing such scribbles can really help. For me, like you I'd rather took a sleep since my uncle's workplace is just near my workplace.

haha the best way to kill time and boredom - sleep, and it gets you somewhere else (in your dreams) lol. but yeah and it gives u quality time to rest. do you travel often?!

I am not sure about this but its obviously somethimg that keeps him totally occupied while going home on the long journey...so I definately would not call it a waste of time especially his...maybe yours...It would be nice if you could one of the drawing so we could see it...sounds quite interesting
