i dont even know what this goal really means to me anymore. i mean, i have pretty much cut myself off from the world as far as the internet goes. i dont rely on technology to communicate with others. i use it only for research, learning, and for focusing on my goals. so, by “living off the grid”, i am not really saying that i want to build my own self-sustaining house and be completely self-sufficient. i basically am using this phrase to mean that i want my communication to be self-sustaining. i dont want to rely on the internet.
my original intent when i created this goal was to keep myself from being exposed online, and to keep my life in tune with the real world. by eliminating my use of stupid social networking websites and crap like that, i believe that i have succeeded in my goal of living off the grid. i think that i could further “live off the grid” by stopping texting, but i like to be available to my family and close friends when i cannot answer my phone.
oh ya, and the thing about aim. i have no issues with leaving it behind… except when i am writing papers. cuz then i get lonely. so… the true test will be when i go back to school and have to sit in front of my computer for hours everyday. when i think of aim, i just think… pathetic. i guess ill wait to check that one off…
