Here I am, with my Starbucks latte in one hand, a cigarette in the other, and trembling with joy because my Internet connection is back.
Last night and this morning there was no connection. None. I panicked. LOL So last night, without a connection, I wrote a crappy piece regarding my addiction to the Internet. Here goes nothing:
I once heard of a kid who died because he just wouldn’t get up from his computer, and played a game for a huge continuous period of time.
Today I’ve met (well met before, but today first discovered) the single young person I know who doesn’t have internet at home. She doesn’t even have a tv. However she does own a computer. She uses it to listen to classical music. LOL
I freaked out. I’m so addicted to the Internet that it’s like a drug to me. The same questions appear when I think of quitting any addiction: What am I gonna do without it? LOL
Truth is the modern media are HUGE time eaters. When I sit down at my computer, I simply do not want to get up. It’s beaten tv, newspapers, books and all sorts of other activity and communication ways by far.
Today everyone’s on facebook, on e-mail, on everything. You can cut connection and start connection with only a click.
I once promised myself I wouldn’t use the computer and the tv set for a whole day and I swear… I’ve done so many things that day that I couldn’t believe it was me doing them.
Funnily enough, in some ways the Internet is a huge time waster, and in the same ways it’s the biggest time saver. As said before, you don’t have to sit around listen to the same moron speakin’ for hours, just because you’re supposed to be there. You’re not supposed to be anywhere… Just a click.
And one of the most important things you get online is a sort of secure privacy. Well, sure, some can access your information, but most can’t. You sit there, alone, and do whatever you please with whomever you please or wherever you please. It’s a privacy I cannot, cannot let go.
The Internet’s always got something for you to do. There’s no such thing as NOTHING to do.
I’d probably be a pretty lazy person if it wasn’t for the Internet too, but I have to admit that it’s made me the laziest person I know.
Right now I’ve got no connection. Someone is messing with it yet again. And that right after my pal told me she had no Internet connection and no tv. LOL
And she was like… Man, I went to bed at 12.30 last night, because I had some things to do… LOL
So I do believe I’ll very soon be in the process of quitting the Internet and probably tv too, although I only watch CSI, but I do sleep with it on. I’m not planning to quit forever, just till I get myself on track. I will not turn my computer on. I just won’t .
Therefore I will be gone for a while. I don’t know exactly if starting today, but very soon anyhew.
And that now, when someone is actually searching for ma name… I bet they’re actually searching for another Liz Madsen, as that’s not even my real name, although Liz is, sort of but hey… Say my name, say my name, when no one is around you… 
I hope y’all (yes, again, you one person who are reading this) will come back when I do, coz this site ain’t goin’ blank… Look at it as a summer break, coz it’ll probably last longer than spring break.
