20 minutes... 20 hours... 20 hours...

I have been awake for 20 hours straight... and previously slept less than 6... Why do I do this to myself? IF I am doing it to myself that is... Where do I even get the energy... Perhaps I should consider seeing the doctor and possible sleeping pills, however unrecommended something like that can be...

The title reminds me of this joke on this video my brother downloaded off the net. It was a commercial for Verizon I think maybe... Actually I just double checked with my brother he told me Pacific Bell. I forget if they have that ISP in the states. I think so. Anyhow it was for a DSL commercial trying to sell itself based on the fact that high-speed cable connections have to share bandwidth in the neighbour causing it to be slow. And it was about the neighbours going crazy try to get each other off so they could get a better connection. One scene even showed a person in a shower cap cutting off some electrical wires on an electric box on the outside. I think that's for electricity, not cable, but it gets the job done I guess :P They told them to log off... And it was like "Got to get them to log off, that's the bottom line..." Then a news reporter comes and interviews someone, "How long would you say you've been online tonight sir?" and a rioting neighbour nearby was like "20 minutes?!?!? More like 20 hours...... 20 hours...." LOL... Well I wouldn't be in front of a screen for that many hours straight personally, I take breaks and often I don't use the computer or internet at home anymore...
