So what is it, with the internet anyway? That we can spend our precious little time locked into these pixels and precarious influence on one another....until it seems like we're the ones made up of machine. I've been so busy lately, I've not had any time to spend on the internet, except for a quick update here, and as look back, I notice my writings have had no real substance as they used to, when I'd try to shout my voice into the void of computer and fill it with my thoughts on animal rights, green living, healthcare and what have you, but what use is my thoughts if I don't put them to real use and actually live? Sure we can have impact on the computer, but can't we have much more impact in society? It's not to say I wasn't putting my thoughts into action and living as I write, but I grew tired of trying to live two lives - internet and reality. I can have just as great an impact in my local society, by dedicating not the only the energy I was dedicating already but also the energy I was putting into the internet society. It's not to say I'll never be online, but since I'd stopped being online so much already, I figured I'd just make a "closing statement", to actually put down that is what I was doing. It's not that I don't love all of you - because most of you are my real world friends and family anyway, it's just that I'm too busy to be here right now! I have too much I want to do! Work takes forty hours a week, school in class time is about eight right now, and then there is studying and homework as well which is about ten, sleep takes 56, commuting is ten, that leaves less than 100 hours a week to live on my own time. Sure it sounds like a lot, but that's only just over fourteen hours a day. If you think that about one hour is spent getting up and ready in the morning, 30min to each meal, possibly 30min preparing the meal, one hour on chores, now I've got just nine hours. Nine hours a day to live! Better places to do that then on the computer Especially when I've got such a lovely and wonderful husband to spend time with, and more time needed for my art and more time needed just to take a walk and think. It'e been lovely!
