Too much web?
I'm sick of the internet.
I've been spending lots of time lately the web. Sitting in front of a stupid computer screen. There's so much to do on it. Well, basically I do two things. I read news and I study tech stuff, like web design and whatnot. News would include things like world and national news, but primarily it is keeping up with people's blogs. I am just discovering the huge world of blogs out there. It is simply tremendous how many really cool and interesting things people are putting on their sites. I could spend dayz...
But I am hating it more and more. I am hating all the TIME it is taking. All this time...and where did it go? The thing that is bothering me the most about this is that it feels so antisocial. When I'm on the computer I'm not engaging in relationships with people. Perhaps I am reading an update from a good friend. Perhaps I do leave a comment now and then. But that is so entirely different than a real face-to- face conversation with a flesh and blood person. I think if I would do this long enough my relational skills would deterioriate. I would turn into some kind of zombie, a supergeek. I don't want that at all!
Someday I will write a post on long-distance relationships vs. local relationships. But now I am GETTING OFF THIS COMPUTER!! Gotta get some deepbrew.

I so agree with you - antisocial and like Melvin said at church last Sunday... the computer can be bad for the attitudes it stirs up... and blogs open a whole can of worms for me...=(
And time...
