Eric Clapton

I read a quote today that shocked me.  No, not the quote.  The quote is an expression most of us have said or wanted to say a millions times.  The author of the quote was the surprise.

"Given the choice between accomplishing something and just lying around, I'd rather lie around.  No contest." Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton?  Really" 

He is so over the top talented.  He is the only triple inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of both the Yardbirds and Cream and as if that wasn't enough as a solo artist).  He kicked his addiction to heroine and alcohol and now works towards helping the poor kick their habits.  (Maybe he could help me kick my slothenly ways habit, I really could use a little help and I'm poor.)

Just goes to show you where there's a will there's a way.  He got off his butt and made things happen.  Guess I better get off my lazy ass before I'm too old to do something, not that I'll ever be an Eric Clapton.
