Married to my Mouse
Since this is a site devoted to pop culture, buzz words and lifestyles I thought it would be appropriate to coin a phrase right here, right now. "Married to my mouse" will forever be associated with blokes like me that actually spend more time with their mouse than their wives. We're talkng computer mice of course.
My business and my hobbies all center around the computer so I got to thinking the other day that I actually spend more time holding my mouse than my wifes hand. I even go shopping online with my mouse more often than my wife and I hit the mall.
My mouse and I listen to all of the latest iTunes together. I pick a song, my mouse carries it to my favorites folder. If I want the volume up, my mouse runs over and turns it up for me. My mouse gets to read all of my email before my wife does. My mouse see's my bank account, my PayPal account and even knows what I've bought on eBay before my wife does.
Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and we do spend a good deal of time together. But as an entrepreneur I make almost all of my income from the Internet which tends to lead to long hours on the computer with my mouse.
Alas, I'm beginning to feel like I'm married to my mouse. You can use that phrase any time you would like, it was coined right here you know. Anyway, get off the computer for five minutes, go hunt down your spouse, give them a hug and a kiss and let them know they are loved.
You might also take a piece of cheese with you on your way back to the "mouse".
