Taking back my life

I am Chaos and therefore I am.

I am the disorder that thrives

I am the turmoil that rules your soul

I am the pandemonium in your mind

I am the disregard you have for the world.

I am Chaos and therefore I rule your sentience

I am Chaos but the call me Internet

I’ve made an important decision regarding my use of the internet. Over the last two years I’ve spent increasingly more time on the net. To the point where I’ve lost focus of all the things I used to do.

I’m a loner, I’ve always been. However, I can’t remember the last time I’ve sat on the couch and read a book quietly, without checking the Net for something every short period. I used to be creative with pen and paper, needle and thread and all such things, but I also can’t remember the last time I’ve spent an entire afternoon doing something creative that didn’t have anything to do with internet. Hell, just look at my site. I’ve had the host for almost a year now and the site still isn’t finished.

I’ve come to realize internet is ruling my life, and also my academic life. I pass time studying over for time on the Net. The first thing I do in the morning is turn on my computer and check my e-mail. There are a lot of other things I’ve stopped doing. In addition it’s also influencing my health. I have more and more hyperventilation attacks and increasing headaches.

So, not to sound dramatic, or like the Internet Drama Queen that I am, I’ve reached the conclusion that it is time to take my life back.

This means, spending less time on the Net or doing Net related things. I’m going to try and regulate my time online more in regard with other things.

Thus, I will take a sabbatical from the boards, forums, newsgroups, RPG’s I’m in and *gasps* Live Journal, till I can order my life some more.

This doesn’t mean you won’t see me anymore online, it will just be less than before and I will keep in contact. If anything you can always send an e-mail to FoolzEyez (@) gmail (dot) com.

I’m not sure how long this will take, because I don’t even have a plan of attack yet. Hell I wonder if I’ll go through withdrawals… *eeks*

I just hope it will make my life less chaotic.
