I have no internet. I must admit that it does sort of suck, because I've grown accustomed to checking my credit card, bank statements, facebook, and just surfing other random things whenever I please. I do have my phone, but my phone but the internet on it is extremely slow. I also need to post entries for this blog. There are ways around certain things with enough patience, but fuck, I'm on vacation. I need to relax. I NEED to relax. I NEED to not think about the things that I've been thinking. I need to if I want to keep my sanity.
I have a pool, the beach, the boardwalk, and shit, a house filled with my family. My parents, my sister and her husband, my nephew, and random visitors that pop in and out. It's the good kind of distraction from the shitty parts about life, and from the small fact that I don't have internet.
It's kind of amazing how addicted and reliant we are on the web for almost everything. I've felt almost disconnected. I still have a TV and a pretty good phone with internet, IM'ing options, and uhhh also the ability to just call people. A few days after just leaving my phone behind, trying not to check it, not to sit on it, the sun felt even more awesome, the water felt a little more refreshing, the ocean felt a little more soothing.
To these nerds who can't get away from technology, I say, GO OUTSIDE! Drink up some life. It always goes down smooth. That and get out of my way. I'm trying to win an angry bird for my sister.
