e-mail

interspective

I feel as though I'm running out of things to do on the internet. Digg has lost its flavor, blog hopping has lost its zeal, e-mail has become a medium of p3nis 3nlargement ads and false rumor proliferation. Even so, I probably waste a good 2 hours a day (actually more, I'm too embarrassed to admit the actual number) browsing. At the end of each day, I know I could have accomplished everything in 5 minutes. In fact, sometimes I go to the exact same site over and over, just out of habit (yes, those multiple IP addresses you are monitoring are me), so why do I continue such unhealthy habits? I'd almost say it's borderline addiction. I don't really go through withdrawals without it, but I keep finding myself mindlessly browsing the same things over and over.

Naturally, we shouldn't be addicted to anything. So I've concluded that I need to do something about my internet habits. Obviously I won't eliminate it (since I need it for work), and I could never deny something so beneficial to man, but I've established some goals to better moderate my web usage. For most everyone, you won't even notice a difference, but I say now, no longer expect e-mail replies within the hour. No longer expect me to know all the cool/new videos within the first day. No longer expect me to be as in touch with their family bolag posts.

Oh wait, I suck at replying to e-mails, I'm always last to see new videos, and I rarely comment on bolags. Damn, I've really been squandering my time.
