why is it that people seem to twist things that i have said without bothering to try to read the intent? yes, i am sometimes ineloquent, but, come on, i'm not running for office here. is there a good reason to either

a.) not bother to read what i have said and respond to it anyway or

b.) intentionally misinterpret/selectively ignore parts of what i have written.

the show opens tonight and i am bouncing off the walls. my focus is totally off. i was able to concentrate on work earlier today because GUI mockups require so much attention to detail that i could dissolve myself in them, but now, as the end of the day approaches, i'm trying to do some reading and it's just not happening.

okay, this sucks. like really.

i was so good. i went cold turkey. i was so productive at work. now, the instant there's something i don't want to do, it's slashdot.org.

my karma is excellent. this is a bad sign. means i've been spending too much time here.

if only new articles didn't come out so frequently, i'd be able to resist. if only they weren't interesting. craigslist holds no temptation for me. there is only slashdot.

dear slashdot:

you are always here for me when i need you. when work gets to be too much. when i just can't think anymore. when i absolutely need to know right now what the most recent technological development in the northern part of spain is. but it's too much. i think we need some space.

i appreciate you, and you're an important part of my life, but there are other things in my life too. like work. i never get any work done anymore. that's the main thing really.
