I hope in 2014 to return to do more blogging and writing.

Really could anyone these days spend a whole week, day, or month without the internet? I did this past weekend. I decided to challenge myself to spend the whole weekend  not using a computer, or the internet or cell. I stuck with my old staples I used to do way before even owning the computer or being on the Internet.

I went back to pencil and paper to draw, read a lot, listened to old mix tapes, CDs, and dusted off my SNES. Though if my Atari 2600 & NES was still in working order I would have setup those up too. Plus I  getting to go out side for a walk without taking my phone with me, was a great feeling. It was great taking the weekend to become disconnected from the “very connected world” I live & work in. Since the experiment went so well I hope to become more disconnected  in every weekend I am not working…I like the idea of getting back to basics.

So in the middle of the month it was the one day of the year where I celebrate my birth. Gone are the years I really enjoy birthday parties. Why? I’m just tired of them, as I’ve been having parties since I was 1. This year I took a time out and enjoy a simple day of catching up on reading, and just having a ME day, which I totally enjoyed. Though I missed being around friends and family on my day of birth I think I will spend next years birthday doing an all day ME day followed by an evening of being around the people who matter the most to me.
