Too Many Blogs

I have too many blogs and never enough time to keep up. I MIGHT get on each of them once a month. I don't know how people who constantly update can possibly get any work done! I mean, with MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo and all the rest...you could literally be on the computer all day. I can't do it. I just can't. Not with good conscience anyway.
In this age of electronics, gamers, cell phones and PDAs, the do everything in the fast pace hurry and get to the party mentality, I think I might be slipping into the "old fashioned" category. At 51 years old - I guess I'm entitled to. And, truthfully, I'm not sure I want "everyone" to know my every thought, mood, frustration, screw ups and/or joys. You become disconnected from life when you are reading it in print rather then experiencing it in "real life". Being glued to your phone, computer or television makes you a slave to the media and someone else's opinions. And I'm not just talking reality shows here folks. Like Garth Brooks song "The Dance" you simply have to experience the good, the bad and the ugly as well as the love and happiness in life. Trust me, I've had my share of all of it. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. But you know what? Thanks to the good Lord, I'm going to continue on the road I started...in the way I started...the good "old fashioned" way.

It's a social network sis. I love to blog. It's a great way to journal, and I can look back and see how far I've come. If you don't want to post your every mood/emotion, don't.

I agree, it can become dangerously addicting. Have to be self controlled in that area!

I also love hearing about what is going on in your life, so don't stop blogging!!! xo
