My computer being gone is forcing me to think, and reflect.

By branjoseph, December 19, 2010

I’m thinking about how dependent I am on internet/blogging/etc and it’s depressing and kind of scary. I am like having an emotional and even physical response to being without it. I am having anxiety, and I’m really sensitive. If it was for 3 days even I would be fine. I would be using this time to catch up with chores, errands, and things I have been meaning to do, knowing that in a couple days I would have my computer back. But 3 WEEKS? That’s literally next year.

I don’t have a lot of money these days to go out with my friends all the time (even gas is steep) and I am not working very much (there isn’t much work for me) so making graphics and posting things is my outlet. It’s not just fun, it’s accomplishment, and good experience. Every day I learn a new technique in graphic design.

If money and gas weren’t an object I’d be like “it’s cool Im just gonna plan some places to go, visit some friends, but unfortunately when money is tight (especially around the holidays) there’s not much you can do.

The internet is how I stay connected to my real-life friends that I cant see as often as I would like to. It’s also how I keep up with pop culture, because I am not one to watch gossip shows and read tabloids.

My computer is my source of all my music at home, and many of the TV shows I watch. It’s also how I make CDs for people and myself.

Sorry for the rant, I just feel lost. It’s disgusting I know. Who has a mini-breakdown over a computer? Me apparently. I just needed to vent, and who better to understand and listen than my loving followers and fellow tumblr brethren? Thanks guys ♥
