Surviving without Social Networks: Phaze 1: Detox

So as I posted yesterday I will not be going on Facebook or Twitter for a while. Two questions still remain unanswered to many. 1) How long is this gonna last? and 2.) Why exactly is he doing it?

Well lets attempt to answer these questions:

1. How long is this gonna last? Well the unofficial answer is as long as it takes. The official answer is "probably about 2 weeks or so". Can I go two weeks without going on Facebook or Twitter? I have no idea, but I have to try. Which brings me to your second question.....

2. Why exactly is he doing it? In one word to sum it all....discipline. I have found that discipline I once had has slowly diminished over time. While I do not blame Facebook and Twitter for my lack of discipline, I am using this as a training ground for regaining discipline in all areas of my life. Eating Habits, Reading, Sleeping, Exercising, and other areas of my life such as taming my tongue, eliminating procrastination, being a great steward over all that has been given to me.

To some this could be called a "consecration", a "sabbatical", or whatever your choice religious phrase is for this season...(another church word) of my life.

Ultimately the goal of this is so that I can become a better person. I guess now would be a good time to also mention that I have also decided to limit my communication with associates and friends as well, including my inner circle. I believe removing myself from distractions is the best way to achieve this goal that I have.

I must achieve this goal...failure is not an option.

Two's a Crowd

I've seen this happen numerous times, however have never taken the opportunity to express my sentiments on it. Have you ever been around a co-worker who needed to go to the breakroom/cafe? Whether it be to get the obvious or to get a napkin, condiment, water etc. Well have you ever noticed that most people (women in particular) go with a partner? Really...pay attention next time you go to work and specifically when its time to go to the breakroom/cafe. Listen to the conversations around you and observe when people begin go walk in the direction of the cafe. In most cases you will hear "...walk to the cafe with me"....What is it about the break room that insists that we shouldnt visit alone? Is it the same mentality that most go through when its time to go to the club/lounge? "Girl where WE going tonight?".

Is there a greater question to ask behind this observation? Such as, are we as a society against being alone? Before critics begin to read this and express their disagreement and utter disapproval of this topic, take a moment and think about your past seven days. Have you gone more places (socially) with or without company?

If the former is true for your life I encourage to self evaluate why that is the case for you. You could have just ended up going when every one else was drifting to the cafe and just fell in stream. Or maybe, just maybe, you need the company.

Just a thought.

PJ Morton Mixtape: Independently Major

Some old and some new...but ultimately what can you say to a FREE PJ Morton CD. I recall some years ago when he released the Luap Notrom LP...which i also cannot find. PJ himself told me he also cant find some of those songs...so if you have it ...PLEASE send it to me...lol. I enjoyed listening to this. And as he is now progressing his career with Maroon 5, im sure we will see some new material on print from him in the near future. I hope to see a colab with him and Adam...that would be soooo dope.

BSA Nutcracker Ballet 2010

This is the production my daughter has been working so hard for all season. While some kids played in the streets or on Xbox Nyla was grinding and perfecting. The production runs for two weeks so if you can make one day I'm sure she'll be grateful.
