Breaking the Addiction

4,584.

This was the number of profile views I had before I deleted my Myspace account this morning. This was a snap decision - a whim - much like the one which spurred me to create a Myspace account in the first place. In retrospect there are now several people who I have no idea how to get in contact with if I wanted to without Myspace and I already feel the pangs of withdrawl, but that's okay. It is a strange feeling - the absence of something so integral in my daily routine.

It also has something to do with me trying to find the source of the "writing-droubt" I've been experiencing for the past few months. This may very well be it - I can be online, I can work on a computer without checking for comments, for messages, for some random person's new pictures. It's a good feeling. I already feel that I'm regaining some lost intelligence. :)

Damien Rice has a new cd - "9." Just taking it for a test drive via streaming audio now....not too shabby so far.

It snowed last night - unexpectedly. I left an apartment at 11.30 and stepped into a swirling, frigid, typhoon of a blizzard. By 1.25am I was driving our Rescue truck through the streets of Cheney which were covered by over an inch of snow. When I woke up this morning everything had melted and you would never know winter had delivered its opening salvo.

congratulations. your life can only get better now. I agree with the intelligence thing. myspace is a rut, a stupid clickish rut. it takes intelligence to get rid of it. bravo!
