Tired of Computers? I Don't Think I'm Alone.

They say computers are bad influences. I have to agree. If they didn't exist, and I didn't waste so much time on this silly journal/website/pictures, etc. I would have so much more time.

Yet, they are so much fun to update, to play, to poke and make things happen. Plus, I get a lot more out of reading by ploping things here about what I just read.

Maybe I'm just burned-out from this semister. Well, that's a given. But I think spending way to much time on the computer has a lot to do with it.

I hope I'll spend more time reading now that classes are out. You can only absorb so much politics while your in school.

And alas, I hope to do a bunch more on this site.
