Talk about isolation...

[lenstalk]

So this is my only connection to the outside world for the most part during most of my time.  I don't have regular access to the internet at home (I'm a cafe surfer...lol) and my day job has very limited access rules like no email and so forth.  Can you imagine life without steady access to communicate?  It sucks let me tell ya...lol.  Ugh.

Ya know sometimes I wish I had no access to email or internet!!!
It is very distracting and definitely hinders creativity and productivity. At least for me it does. If I don't log on to my computer first thing in the morning I find that I have more to offer to my job and others. Email bogs me down and I get caught up in it and by the time I can get on to other things I feel I have wasted so much energies on that... It really makes us a little anonymous too-more than I'd like to be. I think I am going to try an experiment where I give up personal email and internet surfing cold turkey for a couple weeks/ maybe even a month and see what becomes of me! Sometimes I wish there were no tv or gadgets so that the true human connection can be experienced more. Lately I take a walk to a friends house or give them a call to talk... Imagine that.

I hear ya. In a lot of ways this is very true. Unfortunately, it's a necessary thing in today's day in age. I've tried unsuccessfully many times to sway people into communicating with me in a different way but the digital world seems to be the way most people insist on interacting. I'm a social creature that craves human interaction on all levels. Life is just simply....well...not there in this other way. Some people are so used to this though and perhaps have not known what things are like any other way. So I concede to a certain degree to this way of things.

There are plenty of times I fantasize of driving in my car on a long road trip and not coming back. Just disappearing for a while into nature. Growing there then perhaps returning again.
