INTERNET BE GONE!

August 2nd, 2006 by mike d. in Acclaim To Fame, A Day In The Life...

currently eating: grapefruit, chilled and delicious

I really want to give up the internet. I want to rid myself of DrMcNinja.com and cnn and heaps of wasted hours on YouTube.

Unfortunately, I really like having this website. So I fear that I’m at least partially stuck. There’s a little bit of irony in there somewhere, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

In order to aid me in my anti-internet quest, I think I’m going to remove the computer from my bedroom proper and place it back in the huddles of my closet. Then, I will attempt to only use common room computers on a daily basis at the House of Rock. Perhaps I’ll make the big move tonight.

Other news:
Someone we all know and love may be coming back into our lives very very soon… that’s all I can say for now. Stay tuned for more exciting information.

Maybe try it like the nicorette patches. First, start by skipping YouTube. And then DrMcNinja. I don’t know about giving up CNN. That’s news. And reading news is important. I spend a lot of time using the internet, too. But the internet I use at work seems at least somewhat productive.
Email
Google News
Everett, Seattle, Lawrence, KC newspapers
Aerospace-related news
Company F blog
Mike D’s blog
Company F new hire message boards
Orienteering websites
ESPN & Yahoo sports
Any and all online mapping sites

Wow, I thought it would be a lot less sites.. that’s a lot of internet I read.

Awwwww MikeD. That was very nice of you to say, but I never left. I’ve been here the whole time!

Outside of working, I don’t really use the internet for anything but email, this website, and the occasional visit to various Christian relief fund websites. I bottle my sweat, and once it hardens one jar can feed a 3rd world family for weeks!
