as David St. Hubbins once wrote:

"the more it stays the same, the less it changes"

a year ago i lived for the net. i was online every moment i could get, doing without sleep in order to search and download and chat. especially chat, my god it was a whole new planet to me back then: my new adopted home planet. real life was a place that existed in order to fuel my body so that my fingers could keep typing and my eyes could keep reading, thats all...

today i find myself not entering the chatrooms for days on end and not really missing them. im noticing that people arent writing me every day and i feel no urge to write them and ask what's wrong.

a year ago i knew people that were in the chatrooms all day, every day.... and i never noticed anything odd about that. i look at these same people now and just shake my head all puzzled-like....

i still spend a bit of time at the computer... but it's doing things like weeding out my files, or making pix with PaintShopPro, or playing games with my kids, or listening to music.... i'm more into the arts and hanging with my real-life family. i guess im mentioning this now cuz i dont really know what happened... i mean, the bloom is off the rose, apparently, but im not sure why. its not like anything bad happened in the chatrooms, its not like surfing is boring when i do it... i just dont need to do it so much. i dunno what else to tell you...

(maybe it means that my cocoon is starting to split open, who knows?)

I know exactly what you're talking about and doesn't it feel good to be free?!?!
