spend less time on the internet

There are too many reasons why I can’t accomplish this goal. My friends overseas and the emails we share on a regular basis. My job. My interests. My 43things….

I just registered with postcrossing.com, I just found out how to add images to my entries, I just learned new stuff on Dreamweaver, a website building software program, I just learned how to download songs (Ben Harper’s “Steal My Kisses” will be the first song I search for)...all of this doesn’t bode well for this goal I recently added. I think I can do these online things, but I can limit how much time I spend doing them. Ok, so now I’m not going to check my emails. I’m going to go and do something away from my computer…away, away I go…I’m going…going….gone…........................................I’m baaaaaaaack!....just kidding.

I’d be willing to guess that there are many studies/articles about how much time people spend on the internet. I think it is an addiction for many. But as compelling as it is, it keeps us from going out and experiencing life. Blessing/curse. I gave up on one of my goals “Post more art/poetry on deviantart.com” because it’s just one other thing that keeps me tied to my computer. I need to ‘do’ more, get outside more…which is another one of my goals that I refuse to ignore.
