INTERNET FATIGUE

For the past few days I've had Internet fatigue. I haven't wanted to do anything online. No facebook or Twitter or YouTube. Nothing. I don't know what it is. It feels a little like falling out of rhythm in music. I'm either too little or too much. I'm hypothesizing that there is a happy medium between the amount of time devoted to each the real and virtual worlds.

I've noticed that I need a certain amount and/or type of stimulation in order to write anything and that I feel less inclined to write if I feel depressed. I suffer from the seasonal changes. Suffer might be too strong of a word butt I am effected by it to some degree.

I'm considering these factors because I want to have a manageable lifestyle that involves a great deal of efficiency and leaves plenty of time for fun and I take the Internet pretty serious. It's an amazing, fascinating little, big thing butt i think it requires a bit more discipline and devotion than we, as the first humans to grapple with the Internet, have been giving to it. So I'm trying to figure out how to manage it which sounds silly I guess butt I have my reasons. Maybe I'll go into them at some point. Right now I just feel the need to exercise my Internet muscles and write something. Anything. This is being written on my dum iPhone as I watch the Bourne Identity.
