11)snuggle with the stets (but we talked about Mobsters on the phone instead of hanging out!!! lame!)
12)deposit my paychecks

25)ANYTHING besides the time sucking activity i partook in.

and then literally 5 hours later i stand up to stretch and look around, and hey! there's a room behind me! a real world! i may not own six pump action shotguns or 4 restaurants that earn me $3650 every hour, but there's all this stuff which is actually real and i spent all evening doing absolutely nothing! dang, wouldn't i much rather messed around with all my crappy real stuff than stare at a computer screen and pretend i'm a bad ass mobster who has lots of money and guns? i'm not bad ass at all. that was lame, and i am ashamed of myself. this happens to me frequently, getting sucked into someone's blog, youtube, myspace, flickr, shopping for clothes and photo gear, etc etc... i'm going to be good for a while now, swear!!

Hey, yeah.. if you ever do drag yourself out of the time sucking vortex known as the internet, could you please do the rest of us a favor and brave returning long enough to tell the rest of us how to get out?

Yeah, I just got hooked up with digital cable (after going 2 1/2 years without TV). This show, Project Runway, sucked up 3 hours of my day...and it would've probably been more if I didn't have to go pick up my son from school. Argh!

And congratulations on becoming a registered voter!

Not to creep you out, but I googled your name today after telling some one about your photography, and low and behold... this blog was there. And I have instead of doing the million things I have to do tonight... like editing photographs and home-work, I read your beautiful blog, and it inspired me.
