My Social Media Sabbatical

January 18 10

I did my annual break from the internet.  This year it was different though.  It was more of a sabbatical for social media during which time I remember what life was like without 24/7 access to random people who I don’t really know but are constantly in my realm of awareness because I’ve let them in to my brain space.  I don’t even remember the day I decided to walk away from it all, close down accounts, forget password, leave it outside of my life.  It was a wonderful experiment though.  I found that not having the constant stream of noise allowed me to refocus and reground.  My life looks completely different know.  I think I actually relearned how to speak to people face to face, and as a result I’ve made more people I would consider “Friends” rather than “acquaintances” that I probably have in the entire time we’ve been in North Carolina.  Because of this, I shall consider the sabbatical experience a success.  As a result, I will be changing the way I use social media.

I live!

December 12 08

I have been super busy and super tired, so I haven’t been updating here.  I have been keeping up with my twitter account though.  It is just so easy to update.  I’ve also been keeping up with my BlackWeb 2.0 posts.  So I haven’t completely disappeared.

I think movng was a good choice for us.  We are happier up here in Cary than we were in Charlotte, for sure… but I am almost positive NC is not a permanent destination.

I was super happy way back when Barack Obama got elected.  My thought was, when the older black people tell the babies they can be whatever they want when they grow up, even the President of the USA, they won’t have a little twinge of “am I lying to this child?”.

I think that is basically it.  Things have been pretty boring overall, but… I probably should stop neglectig yee old website lol.
