That Evil Thing Called A Blog!

Man, I'm suffering from a huge pounding headache right now but I still can't resist the pull of this blog of mine. I was just messing around with some paid postings in my other blog and then I said to myself ...

'Nicky boy, after doing all those assignments, head to bed, take a short nap or else you're not going to be able to run today.'

But do I listen to myself? Nooooo ... The smart aleck that I am decides to check out my Anything Goes blog instead. Never mind I said, just take a quick peek and see if anyone left any comments or stuff like that, then go to bed. But the moment I get here, I decide to stay longer and write a post even. And trust me, it sure isn't doing this throbbing headache much good at all.

Actually this headache is cos of my late night blogging session last night or should I say early this morning. By the time I went to bed, it was close to 3 plus in the morning and then before I know it, the kids are up and screaming for breakfast, which is usual for weekends. Why do kids love to get up early on weekends. I was never like that when I was young. I used to sleep till early noon, but then I've always loved sleeping anyway ... LOL!

So, I groggily drag myself out of bed, head out to give wifey (who is already up and surfing looking for more assignments) a morning hug. Next thing you know I'm switching on my PC to blog instead ... LOL! Man, this blog is evil! It has a hold of my very soul even ... LOL! So after an hour or so of blog hopping, I finally drab my sorry butt out of the chair, go shower and take the boys and wifey out for lunch, well, brunch is more like it. Then we head home and that's when the headache decides to strike with sledgehammer intensity! Any sane human being would have gone and rested or something, but no, not me. I say to myself again ...

'Just a quick peek la to see if got anymore comments.'

That just a quick peek was about one and a half hours ago and I'm still here and the headache throbs with every single keystroke I press. I'm seriously going to have to log off soon and go take a short nap to get rid of this headache but right after I do this assignment I have on this Saeco Automatic Espresso Machines I just found in my assignment list. I've been complaining to wifey that this particular company hasn't been giving me any assignments and today when I got a blooming headache, they give me one whole pile ... LOL! It's not that I'm not appreciate of them though, I am, I am, I really am. After all, more assignments means more money and one tiny step nearer to getting my DSLR camera :D

But sometimes complaining sure ain't worthwhile. So remember folks, when you've got a headache, don't complain about not having any assignments cos they just might hear you and drop a load of them for you to do! I've really got to get away from this PC right now. The glare from then monitor is killing me. I wonder if I can persuade wifey to give me a nice shoulder massage ... hehehe ...

'Urmmm, Honey, you free ah?'

  1. Hi, I'm Syura and I'm addicted to blogging!

    *Hiiii Syuraaaa!*

    I'm sure there's a 12 step to some kinda Bloggers' Anonymous or something, right? The pull is really great. We're like those insects that are attracted to florescent lights! LOL!

  3. Hi Nick

    I know exactly how you feel. Don't tell my boss but I'm forever sitting at work thinking - I'll just take a quick peep at my blog/his blog/her blog etc! Then I remember how much work I have to do!

    Hope the head ache disappears soon.

    I can understand. I can stop myself from blogging each day, but I can't stop visiting. *sigh* When I'm somewhere without an internet connection, I get withdrawal symptoms. :S

  8. I got such a kick out of this post, Nick, 'cuz I will do the same thing... sit here and read and write until I'm stupified, blinded, and my fingers are numb. And always, before and after everything, there must be just one more check for comments. I guess that either says how much I enjoy my readership, or that I am pathetic and need to get a life! Hope you did indeed get the needed rest and headache cure, after a little friendly attention from the wifey! :-)

  14. Just a nice girl - Yeah, I'd have to agree, that's really what one would call an addiction. As long as I know how to separate that from my real life, I guess it's a good addiction ...

  15. Ethel - now that's mighty good advise. I might actually do just that and thanks for reminding me to bring the wife and kids ... LOL!

  16. Josie, I've had days when I couldn't even feel my fingers anymore ... LOL!

    I'd take it as a good thing cos it's something I enjoy doing, I've just got to know when 'one more last check' is one check too many, that's all ...

    I did get that rest after prying my sorry butt of my chair and heading to bed for a short nap eventually ... LOL!

  25. I am an OUT OF CONTROL blogger. I am addicted and obsessed and wish I could be here 24/7.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Meleah, you ARE obsessed with blogging ... LOL! I'm getting to that level though ...

    ReplyDelete
  27. LOL! Yup.. certified blog addict. But somehow it's just like that, right? Any little free time you have will definitely be used for blogging time.

    Hey, what am I saying? ANY TIME is more like it. Doesn't matter when you're free or not. I think we're all in this, Nick.

    I felt so lost when my PC went for repairs!

  28. Shemah - yup, I'm actually waiting for my Blog Addiction Certificate to arrive so I can frame it up on the wall ... LOL!

    Oh yes, every little free time and even on some busy times, I'll always try to sneak a peek at my blog! LOL!
