The Internet time warp

Why is it that every time I open up a web browser I seem to fall into a black hole?
I go online to check my e-mail and look up one or two things. Three hours later, after navigating countless sites, browsing (and occasionally posting in) several forums (or should that be fora?) completely unrelated to my original quest, and comparison shopping for things I have no intention of buying, I eventually find myself on e-bay.ie bidding money I don’t have for things I don’t need. It’s mental!
Sometimes I wonder how we all managed before the internet — but more often these days I find myself contemplating how much more I’d get done without the constant distraction of a gazzilion websites just the other side of my browser.
Discipline… must have discipline.
Hey… there you go, I just found my New Year’s Resolution for 2007. I SHALL BE MORE FOCUSSED WHEN SURFING THE WEB!
