Those pursuits are not a waste of time. Creativity comes when you are relaxed, happy and enjoying the moment. And when it comes, it brings ideas that rock your world.

Laurel NakadateI've wanted to be a drummer since I was about five years old.

Get over it. Drink your coffee. It's not the best you'll ever get but it's good enough.
