Busy Busy Busy

Found this old post that i never post from early May. Kinda funny how things still have not changed in 2 months.

It looks like I dropped off the face of the earth. I have been so consumed in my own life that I abandoned my Internet life. I have had a few challenging events happen since the last time I blogged. I have discovered I am stronger then ever. With the loss of my grandfather and problems with my marriage I lost touch.

I started removing the items out of my life that have consumed me, Facebook, tv, and the Internet. If you sit back and think how much time you spend on the computer searching for news, new ideas, information and If your like me you watch tv to fill the time gap because you don't know what to with yourself . You are wasting your presses time on earth. I keep saying to my friends and family I almost want to live the Amish way of life. Not as strict as them but live simple. No tv, Internet one hour a day to pay bills or read the news, and no video games. Just quality time with my family doing house hold chores and spend time playing games, reading books, climbing trees.

Why do we need all these modern conveniences. I think about that movie Wall-E. The people have become so transformed by all the modern conveniences they can't really function. That is exactly what I have become. I want to believe simple is better. Call me crazy but I have set returning to a much simpler way of life as my 2012 goal. What has consumed your life?
