self-discipline

A few moments ago I had yet another temporary freak out over my level of connectivity to the internet. I'm on vacation from school so this issue has become more prominent over the past few days. I blog here, I am on facebook constantly, I tweet and I'm addicted to my Google Reader. I do not yet use Digg or del.ic.ious (or wherever those commas go), but I do hear they're fun and even useful. I'm not that involved, but I do have an uneasy relationship with it all.

I grew up on the computer, so it is a very comfortable relationship in a way. I clearly remember my 1995 moment of awe over the powers of the internet. The internet is a beautiful thing, I do believe that. It isn't even that I feel like I'm wasting my time online. I just feel like I'm spending my time in all the wrong places.

Today I will read, I will write and I will learn.
