No Internet Week: Day 7

Last Day Without Internet...
The week without a computer has come crawling to an end. There have been many times when I wished I could do something real quick on the computer. Download a CD, check out places to go, check prices for things and then save money buying them online (my plane ticket back to California).
The Internet has become a necessity in our world or at least it has become a huge convenience. Fast information, cheap prices, and all while you sit around wearing nothing (I have clothes on while typing this, I cannot promise this at all times). Half the things on my to-do list can be done within minutes on a computer, which could take twice as long in real life (not including time for transportation). Sometimes the Internets* (happy Chin?) just make sense.
I realize I have an addiction to the Internet, but it is weak (ha). I am only addicted while I am using. I get stuck behind the computer. It is not the computer that sucks me in, but the lack of other things to do. I have realized this before and it has been my downfall while living in New York. I wish to play piano and drums. I want to take up skateboarding and surfing. I would like to go swimming everyday or at least a few times a week. I have bikes, books, stuff to write, and a video camera, although if I filmed anything I cannot edit it. I don't have a good excuse as to why I don't write more often. Well, there is a writer strike going on... and I should stop writing in solidarity (I am showing solidarity by striking from work or in being unemployed, whatever you want to call it).
Since taking a week off of the Internet, I decided it would be fun to keep doing weekly challenges. Some can be fun and others can be helpful. Some may push me forward and some will make me regress. That is part of the fun. I was not even sure if I would come out of this week sane, but I did. I think.
OK blah blah blah, in my writing this is where I realized I would do a challenge every week and blogging it... The next challenge will start when this ends.
I shall stop drinking alcohol for a week. This idea has been in my head all week, because the main thing that helped me stay away from the computer at night was getting drunk. I did spend a night or two reading a book, but then I finished it and alcohol took up the slack.
I would like to write more, however I am going to take a break and enjoy the last of my no Internet week by getting drunk with friends. Bring on Alcohol Free Week!
Oh I wish it was a FREE alcohol week...
