Wasting the Hours

I can’t believe how much I didn’t do today:

1. Go to Cole’s
2. Go work down at the church
3. Plow through a ton of Algebra
4. Plow through a ton of History
5. Get dressed

The Cole plan, with Billy, fell through becuase Cole wasn’t feeling good. I didn’t go work at the church, becuase I had thought that I was going to Cole’s. I did however do a section and half of the Algebra 2. Which felt good. I have been in my “PJs” since 10.00pm last night.

However today I did manage to finish The Da Vinci Code which was totally awesome! It leaves me thinking and I posted about it on my general site. I was suprised many times throughout the book. The storyline was just amazing.

What I don’t believe is my own semi-addiction to the computer. I probably spent two hours today, pointlessly clicking around on the links I usually check: Amy’s Xanga, Billy’s Site, Cole’s Site, the Pearl Drummers Forum, etc. Yes, when I first sat down there were updates and new things to be seen, but when I had seen everything, I couldn’t get up. I proceeded to reclick everything many, many times, seeing nothing new, feeling a sense of “What am I doing? Find something else to do!” But I didn’t listen to myself.

Another thing that seems to fascinate me in the department of wasting time on the computer, is that nice little counter I have at the bottom of my general blog. Ever since about 85 visitors, I’ve been checking on it regularly. More than regularly actually…everytime I sit down, and everytime I sift through my favorite links. I was really excited when I had gotten 100 unique visitors, and now I check and see 113……113……OH….114!. Then when I wake up and check in the morning, I’m either semi-satisfied to see a couple hits, or greatly disappointed to not see new viewers.

This brings me to my new years resolution. This will most likely be something about getting off my butt more, doing less with the computer, and reading more. I really want to get away from this dang computer…and yet I sit here doing my daily update! Just like last night! On my butt again! Argh!

Today has been a waste, besides finishing The Da Vinci Code.

Well, there is always tomorrow to make up for it.
