ramble

sometimes i feel like i'd like a break from the internet (although work stuff would make that difficult). but i'm not talking about going camping or getting away from urban life. just the internet.

maybe i'm just longing for the past. it's hard to believe that when i lived in winnipeg, in 1989 or thereabouts, i didn't even own a computer. i'd never seen a cell phone. the world wide web didn't exist. i didn't own a tv either. even so, i still struggled with distraction back then. i remember calling myself a "browseaholic". i spent a lot of time at libraries and newsstands, flipping through books and magazines.
