Having or revealing little emotion or sensibility; not easily excited.
Here's what I've been doing all week. ALL WEEK. I have all my email windows open on my computer and I'm rapidly and repeatedly clicking from one to the other, hopelessly waiting for something to arrive. What is that something? I'm not entirely sure. Just SOMETHING.
Is something big about to happen and my intuition knows it but it just hasn't occured yet? I told a friend yesterday that I'm rather boring these days and he immediately said "The calm before the storm." But IS it the calm before the storm? Is there ever going to be a storm or am I just waiting for nothing? (I just checked again, nothing new in any of my inboxes -- still nothing).
Waiting for that call on Saturday night, waiting for that great job to come along, or waiting for that perfect relationship; it never ends. According to this article the average person will spend 5 years of his or her life waiting in line, 2 years playing telephone tag, and six months sitting at red lights. That is over 7 and a half years either at best doing nothing, or at worst experiencing great aggravation. The bottom line is that even in our fast-paced world, with postmodern conveniences, we are all waiting for something.We are all always waiting for something. But are we ever waiting for nothing?

No. We're always waiting for something.
I disagree that waiting for nothing and hoping things stay the same are the same thing, but, in any case, I just want to point out that this post looks pretty ironically topical right now, no? Perhaps this is the storm and after that the clouds. And after that, rainbows, sunsets, marguaritas and dancing.
