Time for a change

Just recently I decided to make some evaluations in my life and make some changes. This is a practice that I do once in a while to help improve myself. I do not like getting stuck in a rut so to speak. I want to learn and grow and become a better person.

One of the changes was the amount of time I spend on line. Long ago I broke my addiction to television and now suddenly I have replaced it with something just as evil, the Internet. I spend way to much time on the computer surfing the web and doing various things. And to what gain? There is none. It has just become time filler, just as television has done in the past.

I was actually amazed at how much time I spent on MySpace. I have wasted a lot of time that I could have devoted to reading, learning, or working on some artistic adventure of mine. It has not been all bad, I have made some really interesting cyber friends through my time with MySpace and I hope they continue on as I down grade myself with the entire MySpace world.

I just need to focus the time and energy I was spending on line in other directions. I no longer want to be tied down to a computer on my lap. I want to control the time I spend and not be controlled by it. I have such a compulsive and obsessive personality. When I get into something I tend to really get into it. With that said, this is a positive move for me.

One of my dear friends laughed at me and told me she was calling me out on this one. She said that I was just moving from one thing on to another, and by creating this blog I would be doing the same thing only on another website. I see things differently with this blog site. In this blog that I have created, I still get to express myself and write but outside interest and factors are completely taken out of the factor.

This blog forum is about what I write. It is not about the number of friends I have, the comments, the bulletins, or the emails you get from people. I get to express my views and thoughts and if there is a comment it is about what I have written. It is not about what I look like, or who I know, or what have you. It is only about the written word. I can post these blogs and walk away and do other things. And this is what I want and need at this point in my life.
