Almost every morning, I drink coffee, which contains the hot, filtered water, the REGULAR strength of cheap, freeze-dried grains of ground coffee beans, and whole organic milk. It’s not as addicting because the system gets used to it.
My main addiction is perfecting any project in which I get in and over my head, not knowing when to stop even though there were many red flags. The mind continues to `make the project work` at all cost, be it losing sleep, FILING BANKRUPTCY, and avoiding other life-balancing activities away from the addiction.
Since I cannot stop my UNHEALTHY diet of junk food and processed food and not opting for fresh organic versions, I will continue my slow death. My other death was faith in FELLOW BROTHERS and their `selfless philosophy` of giving every last friggin’ hard-earned pennies under MY NAME!

Anyway, my other addiction happens to be blogging here at WordPress.com. I’ve purchased a CSS upgrade. That was a mistake. I spent enormous time perfecting something that could never be archived. As a result, I’ll have to stick to a `free theme` and suffer in silence.
In order to transition from updating my CSS spreadsheet to concentrating on blogging, currently, I’m trying: Andreas09 by Andreas Viklund and Ainslie Johnson (A three-column theme with customizable colors and sidebars on the left and right.)
PROs:
- Three columns for two sidebars of five widgets per side for a more balanced feel.
- Top navigation bar of five top-level (or parent) pages with a default `Home` page for latest posts.
- Time/date stamp for single-view mode of each post.
- Various color schemes of which I’m using the basic blue.
- Automatic width when using the zoom-in and zoom-out feature of a web internet browser.
- Automatic width when using lower screen resolution of 800 by 600 pixels.
- Archives page features by months and by categories.
- Links page features my blogroll of friends and links.
CONs:
- Nothing, except I wanted the time/date stamp for the front page view.
If only team Automattic creates shortcodes for `links`, `categories`, `tags`, `topics`, `pages`, `random posts`, etc., then I won’t be using the paid CSS upgrade.
