Human: to be or not to be?

Will someone please tell me what it is that compels me to go to www.9news.com and www.cnn.com? It’s mostly horrible stuff on there. It’s mostly car accidents, shootings and robberies on 9news, and mostly politics and yucky stuff on CNN. Seriously, it’s all crap, yet for some reason, I compulsively check it.

I have this thirst for knowing what is going on. I like getting my news from the internet because I skip all of the commercials and can pick which stories I read.

But there’s no point in me even visiting these sites. They’re filled with slimeballs, dead babies, and gore. And I’m not talking about the tree-hugging kind.

While you’re at it, I’d like for you to tell me why I do things that aren’t good for my body. I compulsively eat sugar. I smoke cigarettes– and I DON’T EVEN LIKE CIGARETTES!!! I don’t see a cigarette smoker in me. More than half the time I’ll go all day without one. I don’t get the exercise I crave, and I don’t eat enough vegetables.

Grrr.

At the same time, I don’t drink alcohol much, ever. I don’t put other toxins in my body. I don’t drink soda, I don’t eat fast food, and I take my vitamins. I drink lots of water. I pick the stairs over the elevator. These are all just things I use as excuses for doing the bad things to my body.

These are the mal-adaptive things that I write off as being human.

I surf the internet while I’m at work. I’m compulsive about some things. I think I’m right most of the time.

Me me me me me.

I also like hearing about Britney Spears. I killed her with a spoon once in my dreams. You know this already.
