My first real addiction and surprisingly its not porn

All my life I have been really into music, reading about it, bying it and even working in a radio station and all that time it has been a healthy pass time. Now I fear with the onslaught of easy access free downloadable new music that its no longer healthy for me. I am addicted to downloading music. Its still not an everyday occurence but I go on 3 or 4 day binges where I dont remember much and my external hard drive has 5 more gigs of music. Most of which I like but dont even remember getting or listening to. I will be reading Exclaim when I see a new band that looks good so I go and download their album and while I am waiting for a few songs to finish I figure I may as well get their old album too and then I think of another band and then before you know it its 2am and I have downloaded 8 albums in a night. Its all legal granted but it nonetheless leaves me fealing hollow and shameful. It has its upsides to being addicted to downloading music, you discover great bands. The best new band out there undoubtedly is The Postal Service, its just wicked.

On a venting note Frite Alors had a free french fry day yesterday so Kate and I went. I was happy to have a free meal and felt generous so I decided to buy a soft drink and when the bill came my soft drink was $2.75. I mean what the hell, since when did non-pro-sports-soft-drinks cost more than a buck fifty? Those cheap bastards ruined my free fry day.
