Internet addiction or just lazy?

It's still early on a otherwise normal Thursday. I'm at work and I've spent the morning so far trying to make it to lunch without doing a single thing on my hot list. So far, so good, but there will be hell to pay later this afternoon.

I think I've learned things from my internet travels. Odd bits of trivia, tips, tricks, amazing and startling images. I'm such an info junkie, but I'm not sure there's been any real value in it. I've read dozens of articles about starting my own business and felt inspired, but the feeling quickly wears off and I'm left looking for pictures of big breast superstars.

I'd like to find my work ethic again and kick this habit, but it's hard when you're stuck in a rut. Maybe this afternoon will bring something new, maybe tomorrow. Maybe I'll just get fresh start on things next week. For now I'm wondering what other people blog about. I bet there's some juicy stuff out there. I think I'll go have a look...
