Operation "Quitting the Internet" is going slowly but surely, I'm down to msn messenger (which I almost never use) , e-mail, and SG. Facebook is done, no more online gaming, all other online profiles are gone. I still haven't had a cellphone (or any variation thereof) yet, hoping I'll never have a reason to, my land line still remains horribly neglected. I find myself caring less and less about being noticed, gaining approval, validation or any of that bullshit from other people and getting more comfortable all the time with being alone, keeping things simple, focusing more on physical and mental health than comfort and pleasure. Maybe it's just a phase or the sorting out of priorities. Perhaps I'm just winding down or fading away, whatever the case, it feels right to me.

I'm heading the the opposite direction these days, I think. Trying an experiment in using the interwebs to actually, actively promote my work rather than obliquely hinting about it. Tooting my own horn doesn't turn out to feel any less natural online than in person, but it's made a difference this year in rebuilding freelance business.
What's shaking w you, Mister?
