Well... I'm addicted to web
Well...
I'm addicted to web developing. It is the soft of addiction that many people would seek a solution too, either finding a "Webber's Anon" or something, yet, I continue to plough through the limitless bullshit that is online... Perhaps this is the first step.
I'm beginning to think like a computer. More specifically, I'm beginning to think like a Windows Computer. My mind is all a quivver for about 4 hours, and then, just when its starting to get productive, it crashes, and I find some more useless bullshit to entertain myself with.
Just today, I spent over 45 minutes trying to figure out what "flavour" I am. Not being happy with "Peanut Butter" i retook the test only to get several other unacceptable answers. (Tea, Lemon, Alcohol, and Vanilla).
Although, on a bright note, i'm beginning to lose weight!! I hold my net addiction soley responsible. Last night was typical of the way I've been eating of late.
6.30... consider making dinner.
7.30... getting hungry, should really make dinner.
8.30.... will make dinner after I finish writing email/post/blog/code
9.30... stomach is about to jump out and make itself some dinner
10.30... abandon the thought of making a decent dinner, attempt to make some toast...
10.45... forgotten all about toast in toaster. Is now cold, and stale, and really unappealing.
11.00... settle for two slices of uncooked bread.
I hope they have 12 steps to recovery.... However, I dont want to be a net addict all my life. It'd be torture. I'd be like an alcoholic working in a bar, or brewery...
Ak. It's now 2.05 pm, and my connection tells me that I've been online for over 4 hours. 4 hours where I could have done alot of work. At least 2 of those hours have been filled with random hunger pains and rueful glances toward the kitchen.
THIS IS IT!!!
I'm getting off the web!! I'm going cold turkey!!! No more!!!!
(Until I've had some lunch)
