I need a new addiction.
Not one that's cheaper,
Not one that's easier.
I need one that works,
Where things don't disappear.
One that works every time,
One that isn't so fussy.
I need a new addiction,
One that doesn't invade my dreams.
I need something different,
Not necessarily something new.
So I think I'll drop my old addiction,
And return to something else.
I'll go back to something tried and true,
Yet something challenging and portable.
So away goes the xbox controller,
The game CD back in its case,
My hand-assembled manual back in its spot,
To collect dust once again.
Time to pick up the PDA,
And go back to the games that I've collected,
Or maybe start reading
The hundreds of ebooks I have!
I'll assemble all the new ones,
And add them to all the lists,
Fix their listings in my Mobipocket,
And after a week of editing and adding,
Ask myself why I'm such an ebook packrat!
I'll start reading The Federalist Papers again,
And maybe I'll make it all the way through this time,
Just to forget the beginning again!
Or maybe I'll just sit back and watch tv,
And fall asleep as all the news channels
Feed me the same line of BS,
The same news from the same angle,
And run out of things to say once again.
So I'll be stuck on my blog
With my hands on the keyboard
But NOTHING TO SAY!

I don't have time for any more addictions. As it is I did not realize how addicted I was to my e-mail and computer until the other day when I couldn't even open the computer and realized justhow much of my current "work" was tied up in the computer.
