I just realized something profound about the internet (profound to me, anyway)...
Before the internet came along, I was always itching to go out and do something..
Now that the internet is here, I'm still always itching to go out and do something but before I go I say to myself, "Let me just check something on the internet...." and then once i'm online, I think of more things to check out and so on, and so on, and so on....
