Sometimes I wonder why I'm not more productive, and don't have more to show for my 37 years, but then I remember that I just spent the past 30 minutes deep inside the rabbit hole known as Flickr looking at page after page of photos of people with beards. Not anyone I know... just random people with beards.
So clearly the reason I don't have more to show for my life is because of all those damn people with beards. You know who you are.

Whew, glad I shaved mine off, then.
BTW, total non sequitor, but I noticed that your copyright at the very bottom of your sidebar needs updating. It's actually 2008 now. ;)

Fine! I'll shave already! Gosh!

I can totally relate--I'm alway wondering where I squandered all my time. And my money, too. Sometimes I wish I had a coke habit just I would know what where all my money went.

karl: ooh - thanks for the heads up. i'm always living in the past. :)
vahid: i'm totally fine with you having a beard as long as a) it doesn't hide your dimples and b) you don't create a flickr site dedicated to men seeing how long they can grow their beards in one year. seriously - i lost a significant portion of my weekend looking at those photos...
johnny c: exactly! because coke makes you beautiful and successful, just like all the hollywood stars.

Sometimes I do the same thing with pictures of women in swim suits.
I don't know them. I'll never meet them. Yet, I feel compelled to look at them.

Don't even get me started on how much time I spend organizing my own crap on Flickr ("could I wrap these sets in a collection???"). Then some jackass has to start a "Tater Tot" group and it's goodbye 4 hrs. of what could have been productive time.
Flickr: The Digital Crack of our Age
P.S. I have a dream that one day your blog will love me enough to remember my info. Yes, one day....

Flickr helps me procrastinate writing papers for school. Not that I need help in that department, because if procrastination were karate I'd have like a million black belts.

...And if those people with beards have videos on YouTube, I could waste hours of time.

i thought that twitter was the digital crack of our age?

delmer: we all have our vices.
dustin: no way! a tater tot group? see, i got sucked into a marshmallow peeps group much in the same manner. it's dangerous out there.
pants: why don't you write a paper *about* flickr? then it's all legitimate!
churlita: OMG - don't even suggest that! because i might start searching YouTube for "beards" and god only knows where that's going to lead me.
SDJen: can i confess that i truly do not understand twitter? i've seen people's twitter pages or whatever they're called, and it looks like someone's brain exploded on screen. i don't understand the point. maybe that's a good thing.

It's just a few pictures. C'mon... everyone is doing it. What can it hurt? What are you, a fraidy-cat? (This is helping, right?)
