Good bye...

...at least for now. I sadly had to do this with caffeine as well. Since before the beginning of the year I gave up caffeine because I was too addicted to it. I could not go a day without getting a headache if I didn't have it. Either I would have coffee or pop or an energy drink and many times I would have a combination of two or three of them throughout the day. They are all just so tasty and I would live off of them and it was not good. I would stay awake throughout the day by drinking more caffeine.


The first few days were rough. It was almost like a constant headache for a couple of days but since then, things have been good. Now for the other thing, really I am saying goodbye to all of you.


The internet has become such a distraction that I have to put some limits on it. There is no way that I can get rid of it completely because most of my life revolves around the internet. But the constant checking of my email and facebook and reader and twitter. I would start by checking one and then I have to check them all. And then once I have checked everything, I would often find some computer game to let my mind go to mush. I have all of my connections to the outside world not only on my computer but also on my ipod which means that as long as I have internet, I am not too far away from all of my connections. I even get text updates sent to my phone from twitter and so I am constantly being bombarded all day.


Okay, I know that I did this to myself but at least I have realized it and now I am trying to turn it around. Will it be tough for a while? Yes, just like the caffeine there will be a withdrawal phase but I hope to turn all the time that I spend starring at a screen for something better. Something that will be more productive to my life.


This will mean that I only check my email once a day and the rest, I'm not sure I will check. They are all just things to keep me connected to other people but if you really need me, text me. Or you can call but if you tell me to call via text, I will probably get back to you faster.


So, goodbye for now.
