Would you be happy just being a lazy person at home all day?

Sometimes I think I could be happy doing nothing except getting up at noon, eating cereal, fast food & pizza, drinking beer, playing computer/vid games, watching movies, and posting on ATOT. Some poeple will say that they would feel worthless and that I would never be able to do that for more than a week or so. But I would really like to try, I think I could do it for at least a year, assuming I got some free money coming in from somewhere

No... without something to occupy my time and for me to get out of the apartment, I would go nuts.

Money is the key. If you had unlimited funds, you could definitely find plenty to do. I would never get bored.

I need something to occupy me. I don't mind school. It just occupies TOO much time. If I had a hobby I could pursue in great detail that'd be great :)

I could do it and be content. But I would probably end up going crazy without at least some interaction with friends and stuff in the outside world.

I'm not talking like if you have a ton of money and you can do all sorts of fun things. I just mean that if you have OK funds, like you can afford rent, food, some electronics and stuff. Could you just be happy basically being a bum at home? I guess it could be pretty fun if you had a couple of buddies and just did whatever you wanted. Some people will tell you that you would get sick of it but I would disagree with those poeple b/c if I never worked another day in my life I don't think I would miss it or feel bad.

Yesssssssssssssss. Oh so how I wish this was the case. I would redo the entire house, redo the lawn, work out, etc. Instead I just work and sleep.

Have you seen "About a Boy?" Sounds like a nice life, until you try to tell women about it. ;)

I already feel like a loser who is wasting his life in a cube. Might as well be a comfy couch.

I haven't seen it but I think that is one of the reasons we can't just lay around and be lazy. If you didn't care about picking up chicks, if you didn't care about becoming a out of shape fat ass from the beer and pizza it wouldn't be so bad. Although you make a good point, one of the first 5 questions anyone asks another person is "What do you do for work?" If you say, "Well I sit on my ass, play vids, surf the net, watch movies, and drink beer" you may not pick up a quality chick.....unless she is a lazy bastard as well.
