unplug

i spend way too much time here...

like this...

phone & computer, usually both.



sometimes making stuff like this.



i know a great many of us suffer from the overstimulated, overly-connected, speed-racing life but i am feeling just a wee bit overwhelmed by it at this present juncture. all of my stimulation (oh yeah sara, i said it) makes me feel flat. i feel like my constant connections make me unable to connect. i feel like this racing around is making me feel like i live in slow motion, watching my life from the outside rather than living it. 

in the infinite wisdom of joey lawrence...whoa!

i shouldn't be counting the days to my next four day weekend.

i shouldn't be obsessing about my super long fingers or that mole on my neck.

i shouldn't be relishing this decaf, super-sugar-free loaded coffee that tony made me.

i shouldn't have snipped at my second hour today, and then totally judged the teacher down the hall for the same thing.

i shouldn't be watching nadia race up and down the street in the dark on her bike with margo on her six.

i shouldn't be listening to aidan playing rockband on a week night.

i shouldn't worry about the shouldn'ts and should think more about the should. 

i want to unplug. 

get away.

shut off.

rejuvenate.

revitalize.

chill, but in a warm & cozy kind of way.

this is all that has been on my mind lately.  this and that freaky mole, long fingers and hairy arms now that i really look at that picture.

any suggestions? 

should it be he and me?

should it be the four of us?

should it be near?

should it be far?
