I have recently cleaned up my blog reader so as to not have so many in it, and have closed my Twitter account. I only blog myself once or twice a week....contrary to those who say it should be daily. I am a father of two, shepherd of two small flocks, and must honor the Lord with my time. It is true that addictions and habits take different forms. Damaging they are still, however....whatever their form. True. I have recently cleaned up my blog reader so as to not have so many in it, and have closed my Twitter account.

I have to limit my blog reading too, otherwise I can spend my whole life reading about other people's lives and thoughts instead of having my own.

I also feel sad that books are going away. Nothing can replace walking into my school library and smelling the beautiful smell of old books. Yet, I also feel sad because I am so like the average Internet addict. I do not nearly read as much as I did before I got a computer, and that was in the eighth grade. One passes through the turmoil of the teenage years and rejoice because they never got addicted to anything, like marijuana or cocaine. It turns out that they chained themselves to something just as terrible: the neverending time warp that Internet puts you in, where you have no idea where the time flies by, and struggle to stay off. It's really sad. I’m a Twitter addict myself. I also feel sad that books are going away. Nothing can replace walking into my school library and smelling the beautiful smell of old books.
