Ok, feet. Do your walkin…

Hey you.  Long time no writing.   Well, I’m back and might just write a bit more after this get together…

I’m not one for words or too chatty.  I wonder if anyone even reads this blog or is even interested in anything I post on here.  Write me a comment below if you do.  I’m curious.

Things going on around here?  Well, too much work is what I say.  What too much work give you?  A sore back and hips.  Oh am I sore.   It’s so easy to get off of work and sit down to cruise the web.   So easy in fact that it’s addictive and could keep a person occupied without too much thought needed.

First your looking at your email or the news or a blog you like to read.  A topic pops out at you so you go and search more on that topic or there’s a link on that leads you to more information.  Soon enough you’ve spent hours on end just going no where.  Sure. You’ve learned a bit more about sewing, saw a cute design of a room, or found out the next soap opera moment for Jon & Kate.   Is it really worth the few hours spent mindlessly in front of a computer after the amount of time spent at work in front of the computer?  Its addictive and as bad as a couch potato.

Of course, then there’s the mobile phone.   I work for a mobile phone company and so its easy to land the latest new phone, but is that a good thing?   Everytime I’m sitting and waiting I have the urge to pull out my phone and do something.  Look at email, at text messages, at facebook, or surf the web some more.  There’s always an urge to keep busy, to get that stimulus, or to be entertained.  It makes me wonder what’s all this media leading us to?

The only thing I can imagine what all this stimulus addiction would lead to is that scene in Wall-e where all the people on the ship “ark” are sitting in floating chairs with a screen in front of them.   Barely any body movement.  Barely any phyical interaction except for through the tele that is always on and always feeding info / stimuli.

So with this back pain, stiff hips, and irritable mood, what’s really worth my time?  Sitting in front of the computer or tv?  This is what I ponder.
