Private Moments at AlteredPerception
September 27, 2004
Information Junkie?

I got this phrase from Candoor who stopped by to post on the Relationship entry. It's too good of phrase to resist commenting on. I'm not sure I'd classify myself as that but I do read alot online. My bookmarks are ungodly. I know I spend at least an hour every morning and evening reading the news and other various sites, much more on weekends. I've noticed recently if I don't have my laptop with me when I'm traveling I feel like I'm going in withdrawals. Then I have this overwhelming need to have to turn on CNN. Then with any mention of Bush or Kerry I've tuned it out in a heartbeat.

One of the best things that I just love is the Google alerts. I can have certain topics delivered right to my email, so I don't have to hunt and search as much.

One thing that really is beginning to bug me about my online reading habits is my fascination with reading about gadgets. Digital cameras, computers, cellphones, PDA's....my list goes on and on as do the bookmarks. Now I'm even reading message boards. Why oh why?

Obviously I can deduce a few things from this: I have way too much free time, I don't have a life, and I have poor memory retention. As much as I read I should be a hell of a lot smarter. And richer.

You shouldn't sweat it.

One of these days, you're going to come to a realizaiton that you now know a combination of things that have never before been put together in quite the same way. And odds are that there's a way for you to profitably market that perception.

Keep at it, just don't give up on living the rest of your life. Though sometimes you might need to do that to get over a creative hump. Ask any writer or otherwise creative person and s/he'll happily tell you about the "shut the door" moments when work requires all your effort.
