Coffee? Who needs coffee to keep yourself going when you wake up at 11 every day, spend the first 45 minutes of your time checking email and every one of your favorite websites. Then it's shower time and even by the time you get out it's the afternoon already and you haven't even looked outside to check what the weather is like. Spend the next 20 minutes sitting at the computer again, turn on itunes, start 3 conversations in AIM all without even caring to get dressed as your feet are still wet from the shower and you're sitting in your towel. Still don't even know if it's raining, snowing or sunny outside. Do a search on amazon and rollingstone on some band you heard on Conan or Letterman last night, then ask your friends if they've heard of them. IM atleast 2 links of some funny, or interesting articles to a buddy, who either loves what you send or could care less. Sift through itunes to make a change to what your listening to, turn it up really loud and then find the latest Microsoft bashing article you can find, usually on Wired.com and have a good laugh because it's funny because it's true. Then smile, because you have a mac and it's the best computer you've ever owned. It's running OS X and it's a breeze. It doesn't crash or stutter every five minutes like Windows and everything looks pretty. Time to put some clothes on because you're getting cold. Go downstair to check the caller ID and answering machine because you woke up at 11 and the phone never wakes you up. Grab something to drink and head back up to your Mac shrine. Time for your first days check of 3 seperate job search websites. A new job opportunity is brewing just on the horizon, you can taste it. Another email just came in, it's Blockbuster and they've shipped the next movie out of your queue. You're happy. You love Starwars and can't help yourself from looking for new images from Revenge of the Sith that have leaked to the internet. You go to great lengths to find them, even searching sites in foreign languages. A site starts loading slowly and you wonder what's the problem so you take a peek at the blinking lights on your cable modem. The light under DATA is blinking steadily. It's not your problem it's the server from the website your on. Time to see if there are any new trailers at quicktime.com another service brought to you by the geniuses at Apple and their highspeed servers. Life seems good. I don't need coffee I've got plenty of A.D.D. from highspeed internet, cable tv, videogames and movies. Maybe I'll leave the house now, go buy the album of that band I saw on tv last night. Or maybe I'll just order it off amazon. I don't know what to do, I can't make decisions like this. I'll argue about it to myself for the next 3 hours. I'll put my shoes on, I'll even get my coat, put my wallet in my back pocket and get my cell phone. I'll still argue whether to go out or not and all that time I'll be talking to my other unemployed friends or friends on break from a class at their college or I'll even talk to friends who have jobs, who are at work but they don't really do anything there, they just sit at their desks all day talking on AIM, updating their blogs, being bored till their faces melt off, constantly looking over their shoulders so not to be found out of the naughty things they've been doing online. Now this is boring me, time to go argue whether or not I'll leave the house today, and hell no I don't feel like I have the time to spell check this crap that probably only 5 people will ever read. Besides, the power of the blog is insignifcant next to the power of the force.
