another addiction

i wonder why we sometimes allow ourselves to certain compulsions. whether it be coffee, drawing in my sketchbook, or even the new one for me---flickr...what is it that we find so wonderful about giving ourselves over to the ebb and flow of a force that can be greater than us ourselves? with coffee, it is caffeine...and my sketchbook, the fact that i can lose myself in my hand/pen...ok...for now i gotta go...lunch crew is here...finally.
