Pull the Plug
**************
I am seriously thinking of
scaling back internet existance
as I feel I am becoming a
" one of them "
and less so a
" bigger me "
I quit facebook
and most email traffic
just cancelled many
various update bulletins
I have pared back to 1998 level
and just retained
basic word processing
for my creative past times
google search for my projects
my own movie making'
and my own photo capture
the rest is daytime tv to me
I will be waving goodbye
to most of the
www miracle by summer's end
maybe I will slowly
reintroduce some things
but I am already happier
stripped down
way down
way way down
I prefer to draw on paper
and look down to work
not across a keyboard
I don't think I'm missing anything
I am chainsaw editing & loving it
crunch came
when I realized last month
I had conducted email traffic
of 70 items for a
single piece or art
communicating about it
was many times longer
and time weaselly
than the work itself--
it all ate into
my deadline
and for nothing
it wasn't the first time
but it may be the last
I prefer to be obscure
and unconnected
completely disconnected
without apology
If chance favours the connected mind'
fine.
you get that,
and thats all you get
