One of mankind’s greatest truths is one of the first things we’re told about ourselves in all of our Holy Books … if you tell us we can’t have something … we want it. We want it so badly that we’ll tear our whole world apart to get it.

At the beginning of the year I joined a cult. It was the cult of Netflix, and I’ve been a happy convert ever since I made the switch. My television watching habits aren’t like the average user; generally when I’m watching something I’m working, either writing for Addicted, editing photos, editing other peoples articles, the usual. Netflix suits my habits perfectly; I can mainline entire seasons of shows over the span of the many hours I spend typing/reading/clicking away with very little effort. It’s allowed me to catch up on some series that I watched sporadically years ago, one of which, along with some seriously depressing current events, will meanderingly lead to the actual topic of my column.

My day job – moving Chryslers from one parking space once they’re unloaded from the factory trucks to another parking space one hundred feet away to be loaded onto trains by another driver making $1.00 more per hour a la ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVACbEHkV2Q – slowed to a screeching halt this week. No, it isn’t because the Motor City declared bankruptcy. That was just a frightening coincidence.
