I realized tonight when I woke up exhausted from a nap that I didn't really NEED to take a Dailybooth picture just because it has been over 24 hours since I have taken one. I didn't NEED to upload my pictures or write an extensive blog entry just because I went to Montgomery today and visited Fitzgerald's home, the Rosa Parks museum, and Dr. King's home and church. These were great things and a nice trip, but the internet doesn't NEED to control my life like that. It should be quite the opposite. I should be able to visit the internet at my own leisure on my own terms. I should control its input in my life. I should be able to feel well-rested before I sit down and write a coherent blog.
So that's why I'm not going to write my Montgomery blog yet or take a picture. I look and feel like crap. And as for Dailybooth: it seems almost wrong when I've been taking a picture daily for 70 days straight! Though it's neat to have record of every day, it also means that for 70 days, I have been getting on the computer and making the time to pose for a photograph. Exactly why?
I'm probably just grouchy so I'm going to leave this entry here. I almost sound like any of the internet "purgers" in this entry, but my point is: I shouldn't feel so obligated to keep up with any of these things if it's taking important things away from me. I'll write the details of my trip when I'm better-rested.
