The Steadfast Circle of Addiction

I’ve barely the motivation to sit up straight, let alone write, today. One of those weird sore throats began last night – you know the kind: that comes out of nowhere, without any accompanying symptoms. And then later, the symptoms do arrive, but yet you’re not really sick. Or are you? Who knows. It will remain a mystery until the whole ordeal is complete and you can review it in retrospect.

But back to the problem of this laziness. It lends itself to long, hedonistic breaks, and I inevitably fall victim to my addictions. At all times, my brain insists on obsessively watching/listening/reading something. Additionally, the obsession is something I’m frightfully embarrassed by in the end. So perhaps it is of shame that I am addicted. Regardless, as of late I’ve been watching Jake and Amir nonstop. To what I can attribute my obsession, I’ve no idea.

This happens to be where I’m currently compelled.

Why do I love this particular video so much? Is it the weird but believable lines delivered by Pat Cassels, the charismatic quality of Jake Hurwitz, or the ironic, quirky caricature that *is* Amir Blumenfeld? Maybe it’s the brief cameo by Sarah Schneider. Perhaps it’s simply my love of cookies that brings me back. We may never know.

Either way, it’s really messing with my productivity.
