Free Time

At home I only have dial-up. This is because I still live at home, my parents don’t go online, and my mom doesn’t like Comcast, which I can respect.

Because of my dial-up I don’t see the appeal in being on youtube, just to see what people are doing. I listen to music on a radio or (gasp) cd’s. And anything with pictures and photos, forget it. It takes me from 20 to 45 minutes to read my webcomics if I read them at home. Dr.Mcninja, I’ll have to reload it a few times. Megatokyo takes about 5 minutes.

I only have a fast internet at work or someplace with wifi, but I’m never comfortable at a cafe. So when I’m at work and have some downtime, instead I read news articles on my homepage npr, or on Borders.

Before, I had always considered myself apathetic in terms of politics, economics and government in general.Yet lately I’ve found myself getting more and more into these articles, reading more of the related stories trying to understand it more.

And what did I find myself wikipedia-ing because of it all? Keynes, Micro & Macroeconomics and Aggregate Spending.

It made me stop and think, I am probably an extremely atypical 23 year old.
