It's all about me

Aw, come on. For a long period of time, I spent a minimum of four hours per day, five days per week, on my own particular forms of athletic endeavors.

Wasted time? Hardly. Those hours were a far, far better use of my time then most other available choices at that age, yielded valuable life-long benefits, gave me far more focus than I might otherwise have had, trained me in the philosophy of working hard for what I want, and frequently led to sex with cheerleaders.

The only way all of that qualifies as "wasted time" would be to count the sports-related party scene. Wasted time, indeed.

other than the sex w/cheerleaders part, you just described SS's masturbation habits 12-18 years of age.
