Instant Gratification

I've been a little stir crazy lately, especially the last week or so. I don't know why exactly. I just can't seem to sit still. I don't want to be in the same place very long. I get bored and distracted if I try to concetrate on anything for an extended period of time. It's almost like being jazzed on caffeine all the fucking time. It's actually a little annoying.... Today is a perfect example. Work was crazy and I felt like I was treading water all day. I worked my ass off but never seemed to get anything done... Then I had Latin class. We reviewed for our Final which is next Tuesday. It was an important class, but once I got there I was sorry I went. I know this shit. Reviewing stuff I already know just was not something I could focus on today. I spent most of the class with my brain wandering off to things I'd rather be doing... I got home and started looking through my DVDs for something to watch. I own like 300 DVDs or something ridiculous like that and not a one of them appealed to me tonight. I got it in my head that I wanted to watch "The Bourne Supremacy." All fine and dandy except that I had not bought "The Bourne Supremacy" on DVD yet. I fought the urge to go back out and buy it for all of about 15 minutes. Then I decided "Fuck it!" and went back out into a driving rain storm to track down a copy. Fortunately there is a Borders not too far from my apartment and they were kind enough to give me my DVD fix. So, I have my movie and am sitting here watching it and I'm happy. I'm all about instant gratification these days. I want what I want when I want it. That's not neccesarily a good thing. As we all know, patience is not my thing, but it's usually not this bad. This could be a real problem... To top it all off, we've got a hell of a thunderstorm blowing through right now. It's the perfect weather to have sex in and I'm sitting here in my apartment alone watching a sexy Matt Damon. Someone explain to me how I'm going to satisfy that itch? Anyone out there got Matt's number? Think you could get him to my place in the next couple of hours? If so, send him on over. I promise to make it worth his trip ;)

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!"" - Jack Kerouac - "On the Road"
