30 Days of Posts: On not finishing

[jon_chaisson]

Okay, I'm having second thoughts about this meme. In fact, I started doing some serious thinking after the previous post.

Once again I find myself too distracted.

It has nothing to do with last night's election--more to the point, I deliberately avoided the internet most of the evening because the connection was too personal. I chose to read the entirety of Aaron Neatherly's Endtown comic strip instead (it's on Yahoo Comics, and it's a mighty fine read).

Do I need to be up on everyone's opinions and thoughts on Twitter? Do I need to be up on everything at any hour of the day, for that matter? Want? Maybe. Need? No.

I have other things I want to do. This isn't an unplugging for sanity's sake this time. And I'm not going to vanish from the interwebs. You'll still see me around. I just need to keep track of my priorities...they've been sliding away again. I've got more important things I want to do.


So yeah...so much for this post meme. It wasn't realy doing much for me anyway.

For me social media replaces the lost connections of in-person contact with friends back in Boston, but there are times I think of disconnecting.
