You're right...just because...Good points Michelle. You're right...just because I don't check all these dang portals for a week it doesn't mean the world will come to an end.<BR/>I'm impressed that you don't watch TV/follow the news. My problem is I love reading the news online, so I totally get caught up in all that!!!Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462183277276121397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31776230.post-69807248572275886362009-02-12T23:25:00.000-08:002009-02-12T23:25:00.000-08:00I've been thinking about this lately, as I've been...I've been thinking about this lately, as I've been spending more time doing social networking online (OK, so only a few minutes a day but Facebook is so much crazier than myspace and it's all new for me) and I have resisted it for so long. I do not want it to take over my life. I walk this line between totally getting sucked in to all of it, and resisting it completely, and I usually err on the side of resisting it completely. I do not watch TV; I do not follow the news; I do not IM; I do not text; I do not download music; I do not spend a lot of time on social media sites; I regularly read only two blogs (yours and Leah's). Lately, however, I've started to ask myself - am I missing something? What is it? Do I want it? Do I need it? So I'm starting to carve out a path between the two extremes when it comes to technology, communication, and information. It's not easy for me; I am a person of extremes (and you might be as well) - it's either all or nothing; sometimes going for "all" of it is a very carpe diem kind of way to live, and other times it's overwhelming and prevents you from finding a good balance in life. <BR/><BR/>I think you could log on to Facebook, for example, only once a day and browse around. Don't be afraid that you're going to miss things if you're not constantly checking in because we all miss things; there is so much life going on around us all the time, and the point is not to try to capture all of it. I think part of the lesson is accepting the fact that we cannot do everything, be everywhere, know everything. And that's OK.Butch Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828372065054121968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31776230.post-7523426761739371572009-02-12T17:46:00.000-08:002009-02-12T17:46:00.000-08:00take a week off :)take a week off :)Emilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842248700521917031noreply@blogger.com
