To be or not to be online


Ok, I am definitely bored. I am here, in such a green and beautiful country and I feel like my life is passing by. I stay online almost 8 hours per day and I think I had enough. Nothing interests me in the online world anymore. This job hunting exhausted me. :)) And I feel like dancing and socializing, like shopping and laughing and not to think about spending money.

I am not a computer geek, I am just a simple email and YM user, I read just a few blogs, search Google for everything I need and when I really am in a good mood, I might subscribe to RSS feeds and eventually read them. And when I feel kind of creative, I might put on the YM radios, with '70 rock music.

The only thing I am dependent on is email. Good news, bad news, anyone interested in my fabulous working experience, any news from friends? Usual stuff.

I used to be more than that. Working in a busy PR environment, I was used to read a lot of blogs and news websites and I always felt that the world is moving too fast for me. So much information! And always is someone interested in reading and socializing.

I remember when I first heard about Second Life. What a hell is that, people? I know what it is now but I was profoundly amazed at that time of what people can think of and spend time with.

And new media phenomenon..so many procedures, so much theory..

I am often tempted to to say, and being shallow (of course!), that people who spend too much time online don't know how to appreciate their own life. I am in this situation now. Logging on my laptop every morning, with my black coffee with me, hunting jobs, sending applications, reading online newspapers, blogs, about English grammar and wondering everyday when I'll be able to plan for a real vacation. And always expecting and looking for something.

I am not in heaven and I am not in hell. I am online.

L&D&F&D, I know the hell you're talking about and I miss it from time to time. :) I couldn't take the heaven too much either. :))

oh baby I've been in hell and heaven too and now I'm about to be "on air" :)you know I'm not an addict to web and I'll never be.Not because I'm a 1.000€ per month manager handling advertising and having enough of the media :)but I'm taking the necessary from the web and it's pretty amazing how one can organize voyages and find answers to impossible questions in no time.the beauty of the web for me is FUNCTIONAL!
