My biggest current vice

Of all the things in my life I would consider vices it would seem one is far worse than the rest. Now you may be thinking some sort of substance addiction but that’s not quite it. At first when I read Kirk Biglione’s post over at Medialoper I laughed to myself as I realized not many people I know would understand what he was even talking about. The realization came to me slowly as I tapped ‘j’ to move on to the next item in Google Reader. In the next few minutes I found myself thinking “Am I the same way?” and “Do I also suffer an RSS addiction?” The only conclusion that I can come to is that yes indeed I am addicted to reading all my feeds. I also enjoy it and sometimes wonder how I ever used the internet without them to guide my reading. Things would be simple if it just stopped there but I’ll be innocently browsing some sites online and there it is…

Sitting there just staring at me from the address bar, “You know you want to.” or “How else will you keep track of this great site?” and I give in. Currently I’m at 158 feeds and loving it.
