the human touch
I’ve been noticing lately how much of my life is lived inside these little boxes we call computers. Yes, I realize I work on them five days a week as part of my job, and that’s causing me more than a little dissatisfaction at the moment. My friends all have lives of their own, as do I, so I don’t hear from them online that much, nor do I get to talk to them in real life that often either. Lately I’ve been looking to start dating again, and meet some new friends, but no surprise, I’m doing most of that online as well. It just isn’t enough any more.
What I really want is to hang out with my friends in person. Meet some new friends. Do something with people. I didn’t think I’d see the day I said this, but I wish I were around people more. My back has definitely been affecting that lately, but I think within the coming week I’ll be close to normal again, so I’ll be able to go back to jujitsu class and do something besides just go home after work and nurse my back.
Although I’ve beem watching a bit of tv and movies this past week, I’m even more convinced that the majority of shows on tv are just crap and that tv is a waste of time. Movies are less so for me, but still, I want to be around people and do other stuff, not watch movies the rest of my life. Maybe this is what I need to motivate me into being more outgoing and social, because I’m not very happy with things at the moment.
