Cable In the House!

So I finally did it. I bit the bullet and splurged on cable internet. Time Warner was the only choice for my area. I've been doing my thing for the past 4 years which consists of wireless surfing off other people's unsecured networks, hacking into those that were and the last resort of finding an internet cafe nearby (I've spent way too much $$$ on bubble tea and $4 cups of bitter coffee despite my slowing metabolism and growing tush).

So, after getting a job that pays alot more money and doing the dreaded math (I hate math), I'd figure I would save time and effort in the end just by doing what any normal, upright citizen would do anyways: purchase internet service. Plus, it gets old listening to mindless chatter, annoying cell phone conversations and horrible live mic night sessions from others.

I guess I never realized how important the web would become in my life. The last 2 years of my professional life have thrown my career goals for a loop and have made me an internet junkie. I wake up, check my email and PPC campaigns before breakfast, surf for information for about 6 hours, take the trek home and go online for a couple more hours before I doze off. I've become so wrapped up in online content nowadays (my Flickr photos, keeping my blogs fresh, reading up on marketing news, CNN too, and an occasional research or video here and there) that I need to fill my fix 24/7!
