bumhood 101...

it's been over 2 months since i graduated from college and what have i to show for it? a better understanding of the sedentary life, of bumhood.

how would you know if you're a bum? read on and learn, little grasshopper.

- do you wake up right on time for brunch?

- are the distinctions between breakfast, lunch, merienda, and dinner blurred?

- do you watch tv so much that your daily TV diet consists of second helpings of the very same episodes of any number of shows on cable that were shown earlier in the day?

- you catch yourself laughing at the same punchlines which were new the first time you heard them from the pre-re-run-episode but laugh anyway?

- are you spending a load of time on friendster and blogger but notice that you're not really gaining more friendsters and you're not really posting anything substantial, respectively?

- do you fill out every possible survey that comes your way via email or friendster?

- are you becoming a super kazaa user?

- do you think of tons of things to do but your bumhood-induced bankruptcy is an unsurmountable hurdle to any endeavor requiring money?

- have you forgotten how people really look? (no, they don't really look like their YM avatars.)

- is your contact with the outside world preempted by keystrokes; whether it be the phone, email, txt, or instant messenger?

- is your idea of productivity cutting your toenails?

- is your idea of synergy taking a shower AND shaving at the same time?

if you thought, "yes! that's me!" in a majority of the questions then yes you are a bum.

if you shake your head and think, "no! but that's the life for me." then you have a real life. tough luck. :p

stay awhile.
