right before I get to the jist of this thread, I want to point out it has a combined double meaning.
On one hand this thread celebrates those of us who have nothing better to do than sit at the computer waiting for someone to post something good on the DT UM forum...
On the other hand it is about the worlds laziest animal... The Sloth!
The combined meaning being... I am bored and lazy, and so are sloths. So I fill my time writing about and thinking about and looking at info about... Sloths!
Sloths are an animal I've only recently realised the beauty of, and can personally appreciate more than any other for their sheer laziness. The fact that they instinctively spend most of the day (and all night) sleeping inspires me. It's like their goal is to lead a care free life of comfort. However, when they are moving... they are adorable!
There's something almost disconcerting about their knowing humanoid faces. look at the way it slowly looks at the camera, grins and then blinks!
Their young are also amazing. Amazing because they are both astonishingly beautiful and, in a way, unnatural and creepy...
I once saw a sloth on tv that was so lazy, instead of using its arms and legs to move along the ground, it used it's face. Honest to god. Kinda dug its chin into the ground and then dragged itself forward using it's long neck and leavering it's head.
Anyway, during my current sloth obsession and coincidentally while I spent an afternoon indulging in the life-style of the sloth
I conjoured this image: A sloth that flys, but sleeps while it flys!
This may confuse some of you, but if you think about it this picture means more than 15 lazy minutes spent on MSpaint. It represents an ideal lifestyle. Flying through the air without the aid of a machine is a true dream for many, but also being able to feel nothing but content in a state of enlightened relaxation... the mind set of the sloth.
And now... *yawn*... I'm going to bed.
sorry this was in no way DT related.
