The Blackboard teacher

In case you haven't heard of khanacademy.org, I want to tell you the site rocks big time! Its ability to teach surpasses wikipedia for the topics covered. If you want to learn about math, science, finance, etc..., that is a great place to learn. Yae! for Salmon Khan who created the site!

Negative Addictions

Short term pleasure, not realizing the long term damage. Examples: alcohol, chemical, sex, spending/buying, gambling, work, news, food, video games, etc...

Do you know what your addiction is? Mine has been that I'm a news junky. The news calls me all the time: Come here Daniel and we will have a good ole time. Negative addictions tell us lies. Tells us that we are better with the pleasure. What is or has been your negative addition?

How do you break an addiction? Acknowledging it, knowing that it is there, realizing that it is more than a bad habit, recognizing that it is evil, is perhaps the most challenging step. Knowing that your life will be better with out it.
