The Master Procrastinator

They say the first step to finding a cure is admitting the problem right? So here it goes...I have become a Master at procrastinating. I believe I first began to perfect my craft in college when I suddenly had the most time in the world as well as the most work in the world. Suddenly everything wasn't clearly mapped out for me and I found it necessary to watch every single show on fox or abuse the hell out of surfthechannel. However, even I eventually learned the error of my ways. The key to becoming a Master at procrastination is that you have to find a way to make your procrastination functional. I've actually gotten into the habit of avoiding one important task by tackling another important task. However, before I mastered the art of procrastination I spent way too much time partaking in nonsensical activities like:

FACEBOOK
Facebook is the devil...I repeat, Facebook is the devil. Never have I encountered something that could take up so much of my time on a consistent basis and add nothing of value to my life. Why must we have the urge to make every cool picture taken of us our next profile picture? Why do we fiend for Farmville or Mafia Wars? Why do we think its okay to find out what someone is doing with their life by checking out their wall instead of picking up the phone? Facebook is just a lie...plain and simple.

SURFTHECHANNEL
My best friend and worst enemy. The only place where I've been able to find all the episodes of Weeds and Reboot and countless other shows that I've honestly never cared about. The first one to introduce me to Step Brothers, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The only thing that sucks about STC is Mega Video. Damn you and your 72 minutes! ::shakes angry fist::

FOX/ABC/NBC.COM
This is where I go to get my HD ish. No time limits either, just annoying commericals. All the Family Guy, American Dad, Kitchen Nightmares, Desperate Housewives, and Heroes that I want...and the list goes on.

Once these things began ruining my life, I learned to make the situation better for myself. Now instead of avoiding a task by doing meaningless things, I'll actually replace it with productivity. For example, if I didn't feel like doing a problem set at the particular moment I would study for another subject, or call up a friend to stay in touch, or eat to give my body much need nourishment. All these things were actually productive to my life or well being and after I was done, I can back with a better attitude to get work done.

Hello, my names is Soso and I can justify anything!
