The Day, One Great Breath
If I had my way, I know what life would be like: Each day split roughly into two parts, one great inhale and one great exhale… I would wake up early to devour information until I had my fill for the day, and then I would spend a few hours creating something in response. It feels like an excellent pattern, and I wonder how long I can get away with doing it.
The thought of it provoked a few reactions in me: For one thing, the best television happens in the evening, when I would prefer to create rather than devour. As with many things, I am wont to ask “Why?”. Why is the world not supportive of my most supportive pattern? Bye-bye television. Sorry you couldn’t come along. But, you are one more cultural product with false urgency that forces a decision.
BAM!!! - $120 for a new AC adapter!
Three minutes of battery life distinguished my laptop from a fancy rock.
Luckily, there is a Radio Shack across the street to spend half an hour looking up which universal adapter went with my precise laptop model number… Because 19 volts and 90 watts is not enough information. There are apparently fifteen different sized plugs for the device end.
I hate interruptions. Where was I?
Oh, yeah - I was achieving inner peace with a zen-like daily regimen or something. !@#$%^&*

I hate those kinds of interruptions. You completely lose your train of thought. You have to stop devouring and change gears to acting. :P
