Best of Craigslist – amusing, but seldom rated “G” — it’s a wonderful place to waste some of your life and get a few chuckles (or nod in silent knowing — depending on your own life experiences.)

How much are you willing to sacrifice for your dream?
Ironically, after contemplating the cost of my decisions up to this point in my life today… I saw this video of a little guy willing to give anything for his dream.
(Today, my baby turned 10 years old, so I am a bit melancholy and feeling a bit older than usual. It’s one of those “I’m-old-and-I’ve-not-accomplished-enough” days.)
The video was too cute not to watch, and so sad it brought tears to my eyes. (Sometimes I think we pay too dearly for our dreams.)

My Internet addiction and related desires
At this point, I’m actually looking forward to renting an office and NOT having the Internet at home for a few months. I want to know how it feels to NOT be able to run and look up whatever flits across my mind at any time of the day or night. I have no self-control when it comes to learning. I will get up out of a dead slumber to run downstairs and look up something if it occurs to me in the middle of the night.
I’m spoiled.
I want to know the answer NOW to any question I have. I’m a ‘net baby. I need to break the habit. It needs to be more purposeful and less automatic. I need to read more and search online less — at least while I’m at home. Continue reading
