The Long Goodbye

[broken_anthem]

I have spent all of yesterday thinking hard about the questions I raised for myself in my previous post and the answers I came up with aren't ones that please me. I've never denied my own dependance on the internet but I have never done anything to reign it in. As a result what I wanted to leave benhind by getting rid of my TV I embraced instead in

I went through a similar spell last summer. I cut off all internet for almost 2 weeks, allowing a maximum of 15 minutes a day to check / write emails. I kept a little day to day logbook of how it went too, and it wasa fantastic experience. Maybe you'd enjoy it to? I don't know, maybe some more food for thought.

I know what you mean, it's why I try to limit my blogging to a record of my studies and activism. If you start another one, you know where to find me!

good luck to all and everything. i hope to cross paths and not know anything about this livejournal world. it was very refreshing to see someone put EVERYTHING into a livejournal. I, myself, did not even want to follow that path, because of not wanting to be too attached and thus, my writing show a very meaningless existence, whereas my life is full of everything but meaning and culture and learning and goodness. And how can any and all that ever be fully put into something like THis? it cannot. anyway...peace to you. be well.

Hey, look! An LJ by a guy I semi-knew, and now you're deleting it? Well, shit.

Do you remember this at all? We were at GIFTS and later I realized you had a brother like mine. I played with a squeaking nun and it pissed you off. We put you in our documentary. You and that angelic girl whose name I can't remember. At that point everyone from Langley Fine Arts seemed twelve times more real than anyone I'd never met, and you were the figurehead. The whole thing knocked me on my ass.

In any case, I'm glad you're still around. Still hard to pin down, but around. Good luck in the non-blog.

you know it's interesting and kind of fitting that you found my blog after I decided to have done with it. I still remember that week and have occasionally wondered what became of you.

I'm not going to be able to delete this blog for a little while yet (I'm still saving stuff) but why don't you drop me a line at my gmail adress and lets make plans to catch up in person.
