Human beings have the most amazing propensity and ability to self-rationalize everything. It's rather a quaint trait, and possibly what really sets us apart from animals besides the opposable thumbs.
Equally amazing things come of that trait. Hitler, for example, knew he was doing the right thing by killing the millions of Jews he did and embarking on a war that cost millions more lives. Never once did he doubt himself.
...which is why I sit now, with a fresh pack of my thirty-seventh last pack of fags, and a pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia that I have no business owning with my limited finances and such. And I am going to play Maple Story instead of doing a proper entry and/or working on one of the five other things I really should be. I mean, compared to Hitler, my sin is like kittens taking a dump in the wrong place.
Horribly tiring day. Been out and on my feet for more than eleven hours. I vaguely promise a decent read about what I was supposed to be covering today, soon. And yes, it's what you think it is, judging from the date.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go see which body part I can amputate to avoid going to work tomorrow.

Sounds like we have similar issues when it comes to getting things done that really need to get done, but never get done.
Frustrating isn't it?
