So some of you might know that I am also on twitter – hence the lack of updates to this blog.
@thorks – for you looking for me
But this had to be left for prosperity

Things like: I’ve got the right plug-in for your API your place or my mom’s Wanna fork()? I’d be the photon to your electron and take you to an excited state.

Sometimes technology can be beautiful. Take for example this post. This was written from my iPhone while sitting on the tube. That’s not to say that actually submitting it happened until I was in a wifi area that I could access. Why? Two reason, I only have a first gen iPhone and secondly becuase if that very reason I font have a data package as part of my cell phone package. BUT that’s not the point of this post, the point is to how that technology can be very cool. So cool because I am always connected to the net in some form now. Never without a link to the big wide world web.

Is brilliant. Is the best. Is awesome.
I’m currently listening to cricket that South Africa are playing in India. The first of the 7 (I think?) ODI’s. SA are kicking butt, having taken the top 5 batsmen out for a total of 35.

Hi my name is Thorks, and I am an addict.
It all started many years ago, when I was still in South Africa. Who knew then, that my life today would be so different because of my addiction. I suppose I should blame my parents. They started it all. Separately they fueled my addiction.
I think about it a lot, not so much as you would see me on the street and think freak. I don’t think I have the tell tale signs “depression, nervousness, fear and unwillingness to interact with others, panic and agitation, sleep disorders, the shakes and numbness in their hands.” Nah, I am very good at hiding my addiction. Well most of the times.
I can spend hours doing it. Spend hours using it. Spend hours amusing myself with it. Spend hours procrastinating because of it. Its huge. Its never ending. Whenever I am away from it, or haven’t used it for a while, I think about it.
Whenever I use it, I get this high. I wouldn’t exactly call it a physical high, I think it’s more mental. The physical is minimal. Maybe a few strokes, a few points. But mostly its the eyes. They don’t stop. They just go on and on. I sometimes see illusions, sometimes the most amazing photos appear before my eyes, sometimes I see lines and lines of text. I never know what I am going to see. The high is even better if I get other people to use. It’s scary, I know I shouldn’t push it on other people, but I can’t help myself. As I said before I am an addict and part of that addiction is the feeling I get when I push it onto others.
