I swear to God… I made a discovery yesterday. You know the saying…a day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine? Well get this… I’m in a deal whereby a day without the INTERNET is like a day without uh… life!!
I mean it. I can’t beLIEVE how hooked into the internet my life has become. Hasn’t EVERYones? Case in point: I came home from the eye specialist yesterday to Google my new eye disease. Don’t ask. It’s ridiculous. Something called… sitting down??Retinal Telangiectanasia. It’s not good, trust me.
Regardless, I came home and hopped right smack onto the net. After reading email however, I decided: wait… let me take a break first, before I read about my life flashing right smack in front of me. Literally. Anyway, I go to make some ice box wafer logs and when I get BACK to the computer, I see I no longer have access to the internet. Gone. Kaput. No connection whatsoever. HUH?? What the hell happened in 20 minutes?? Without my even being there?? God only knows.
So… I do, what else? I call the BellSouth people and tell them GET ME BACK ON! IMMEDIATELY, TOO! Yeah, I know. I begin to freak out a bit. Then I have like a major melt down. AM I NUTS?? Well, it seems… apparently.
Anyway, the bottom line is: the DSL guy couldn’t come out until this morning. What did I dooo all afternoon and evening without internet access? WANT TO SHOOT MYSELF, that’s what!
It was so weird. Thank GOD the President delivered his speech last night. That took up a couple of hours. And, thank God I had the last few pages of the book I’m reading, to finish. Oh yeah… thank God I also had plenty of crap in the house on which to snack.
By the time I showered, did some chores, etc. it was time for bed. But trust me… there was a disconnect inside me like you wouldn’t believe. No web. No email. No Facebook. No blog. Not to mention no news, stocks, celebrity crap, etc. NOTHING. Talk about addicted, huh?
Luckily, I’m glad to say I’M BACK ONLINE. Man… you have NO idea how happy I am to return to the Super Informational Highway. It was like torture not having the net at my fingertips 24/7. Talk about not knowing what you have until you have it no more!!

I know exactly what you mean. My life has been tied to the net for years, so from there I leaped onto the Blackberry, so that I could access the internet, my email, anytime, anywhere, any hour, and when I saw the back to school commercial with the kids chastising the parents for too much twittering and time on FB( notice how I don't even spell the word now?) I had to step back and ask myself.....am I now a crackberry?Do I need to join one of those groups and say, "Hi, my name is Susie and I am an addict?".Seriously, my online farmville went down for a day, and I was perturbed the entire day because my online crops were dying.
You ask: AM I NUTS??
I answer simply: YES.
