Sometimes I find myself on the internet with no purpose. Okay, that isn't totally true. Lots of times I find myself on the internet with no real purpose. Maybe I am bored and maybe I am lonely and maybe I just don't want to think about anything. It is pretty easy to find yourself mindlessly searching.
But sometimes I do it thinking I will find something. Someone I've been waiting for will find me or I'll get the email I've been waiting for from some organization that wants to hire me or maybe I'll figure out exactly how it is that I am going to write a story.
It's like I think this is some magical place. It isn't. It isn't a genie in a bottle, a panacea or even just a companion. It's a resource. I think I need to start treating it as such. The other day, I deleted almost all the game apps from my iphone because it's just TOOOOOO much. I can't delete the internet from my computer. But that doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to change my habits, either. Although I sometimes make little efforts to cut back, I don't really make efforts to change.
First step is being honest about it. I need a plan...I'll get back to you on that plan.
