Puppys> 280lbs men running into each other.

Oddly this goal seems harder than I had expected. My culture not only embraces the computer but relies on it. Of course I already knew this before I made this goal. But is it possible that our mental addiction to instant gratification is of the same caliber as a persons reliance on narcotics when abused? True, the internet is a invaluable tool in our day in age, in fact it is the roots of the tree that composes our generation. But that old adage”take all things in moderation” comes to mind. Which brings me back to my point, we are addictied not by a deep seated love, or a chemical stimulant, but by a compulsory drive to meet out societal norms. Thoes who do not use the internet will be dicarded.

Luckly I am not trying to deprave my self of the internet altoghter. I seek moderation between the world of small bits of factual information and the critical thinking needed for self development. The internet provides the bricks of individual facts, but it is the real life application that acts as mortar and binds them togther.There is a balance, but I do not belive it is 50/50. Its like colors; with just blue,yellow and red you can form Orange, green, violet and a plethora or coolrs in between. If I knew Only three notes on the flute, I could still make an almost endless variety of melodys.

So I know why I should limit my time on the internet, but there is still the matter of actually doing so. I could go about it systematically, but what if the alchoholic said he would only drink 7oz today and 6oz tomorrow. It would be safe to assume that he would be stuck in an endless loop of just “one more oz wont hurt” since he had met his goal the day before and feels he can give himself some slack and you factor in the fact that addiction tampers with our decision making ability you have nearly zero chance of ever reaching that 6oz. Therefor, in the case of changing a deeply ingrained habit, the first step should be the largest and subsequently the hardest. It may take a few attempts at that first step, you take too small a step you return you find yourself drinking 7oz every day, to large a step and you trip and spend time nursing your self back to health bu nursing your addiction. I have already taken my first step and it turned out to be to large, so now I must take my next one allowing my self a few more mins a day on the computer than my last plan had stated.

Life got in the way as I tried to do my seven hours. I was only able to do about 2 and half hours due to school. I will try and do seven on another day sometime soon.
