Uh been keeping away from the cyber world of constant messages and postings and exploring the more conservative way of keeping in touch or better still in this day and age called keeping away.
And what an eventful week it has been,read as non happening.
For starters been getting all these calls and voicemails that I couldn’t read nor listen to,to keep track of the persevering callers and by the time I got round to see what they were on about I was called all kinds of formidable things and all in the name of having a quiet week.
My greatest joy during this time has been the money I saved in the name of the air credit I would have used to talk small nothings and exchange messages;as it is personal things like making visits don’t count for much anymore.
On the downside I missed a friend’s farewell and bridal shower. As you have guessed they were not about to send anything in the post and now that I think think about it non of my girlfriends at this shower even have an address to send a card to. All this has been replaed by you know what.
Also did I tell you that my keeping away from the IT era for just 8days was treated suspiciously…people were wondering did I have debts ….who was I hiding from and the list goes on.
On a random night out a guy asked me for my number and it got me thinking how it was done back in the days. Did these men pursue potential partners by following them home? Did the ladies unleash all their details in the moment and take chances on this being their prince charming? Uh such comparisons made me appreciate the communication options we are blessed with now.
On the downside I realised I have been spending a lot of time in front of a computer in the name of social networking and limiting myself to the IT options of keeping in touch and forgotten there are other fun things of doing thing.This experience has revealed to me that there must be a balance and anything with some kind of physical activity definitely adds essence.

That was a deep reflection, and I like the conclusion you reached--balance. You may visit my blog, http://odiyatalks.9hz.com or http://acolidreamer.blogspot.com. They both reach the same place

UH just had a beep at yo blog-It's the real deal and will dedicate more time to it and indeed spread the word around about it.I'm still a baby in this blog world and uh talking about balance is easy but the reality in the world i live in is a myth. But like they say if you love something you make time for it no matter how busy so hopefully in a few months time will be to the standards of Acoli Dreamer-keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHello Joey,
ReplyDeleteI know that it is not cheap to access the Internet over there. Just take your time. All the tools are there for you to use. Over time you will come up with something that reflects your soul.
One way you can communicate freely through the Internet is using Skype. If you have a microphone, you can talk with people all over the world. Otherwise, you can do the e-mail chat. Try it. You may go to my blog and sign up, or just go to http://Skype.com
My skype id is modiya2
Ciao!
