Electronic pacifier

I'm still working on moving past electric entertainment as a default action upon arriving back from work. Still trying to figure out how to keep my self using a computer as purely a communication tool rather than an electronic pacifier. It is such a great way to communicate. And communicating with friends is such a valuable thing. Yet, it [the computer] can lead to such waste of life.

I was writing an email to one of my best friends earlier tonight, and that paragraph came out. I think it really summed up what I've been how I've been trying to grow recently. I know that my life will be more healthy, better organized and more fun if I don't waste so much time. But I'm a slow learner.

This is coming on a night where I spent too much time just browsing around internet forums.
