Towards the end of April, there was a  segment was on the news about Slow Down London. A group of people… with time on their hands, decided to walk as slow as possible across Waterloo. This "Big Slow Walk" was in an effort to get people to slow down—take a while to circumvent and relish. It was hilarious. Not only did the crazy Londoners look like a bunch of you-know-whats… walking heel to toe as slow as possible—like zombies.. But they were really ticking off everyone else… you know, the normal people that were trying to busily cross the bridge. People were speeding by in cars shouting to speed up—throwing things at the zombies.. Craziness. I laughed and laughed… shook my head—but I didn't miss the point (as I ran off to do 12 things at once). You can see for yourself, here.

Now, a few months later… as people seem to be very busy doing … well, very little, I found myself infuriated by just that… Busy accomplishing nothing. Twittering about. The thing is that if we all stay slowed down, nothing much is going to be accomplished… and although it is nice to stop and smell the roses—breathe in the salt encrusted air… don't we all have to lift ourselves out of the monotony and move on?
