3 February–You wont Believe what Happens next

My Name is Simon, Im 42, and Im an Addict.

The first step to rehabilitation is admitting the problem. So here I am, admitting to my problem.

Every time I am on the internet, or facebook, and I see those stupid headlines, that you just know are going to take you to some totally NON incredible story, I HAVE TO CLICK AND SEE THEM.

Seriously, whoever writes some of these headlines should get an award. They are brilliant. Far more brilliant in fact, than the articles they link to in most cases. Still, I cant help myself.

I mean really, you’re browsing google, or checking your friends photos of their dinner on Facebook, and you see this!

Tell me how you can refuse to click and see what the hell he does. Does his wheelchair fly? Does he shoot a mini missle to destroy the stairs? I have to know. Turns out, nothing so exciting and its actually an article about a new tech development to allow wheelchairs to climb stairs.

And then, once Im on the page, Im done for. So many more amazing headlines, to keep me entertained for hours.

Its like the person writing the headlines KNOWS ME. And knows exactly what will intrigue me enough to click to the next, totally non amazing article.

Tell me! What Happens? Does the bottle explode? does it contain acid? does he discover its Vodka? Well, No. In fact, its staged, and is two people filming a stop motion pretend fight over the bottle. Boring.

But wait, on the sidelines from that last page, look what I see…now I have to start opening multiple tabs in my browser to read all these. They are all so amazing.

Now how DO I peel that egg?
