the curse of the dreaded internet

well its been nearly two weeks with no net checking,blogging or facebook stalking (that, i can live without!)
yikes. feels like an eternity .
i moved back to my home in Chongon, where there is no lovely easy wireless connection, which i was bathing in for many weeks back in my friends home were I first stayed, and its hilarious, everytime i venture down to 'cyber market' the local store in Chongon which has internet, the system is always down or the power is cut!
maybe is a sign that i gotta do some detaching. but im realising how attached i am to the net, in terms of feeling 'connected' to people back home or around the world and even to get this blog off the ground. so right now im going through post internet withdrawl symptoms, with the actual fix, like right now using my friends connection....trying to replace that thought of being totally out of touch with everyone, and as if my life is shrinking to the size of Chongon....and why should that scare me? why does the net suddenly have a big impact on my social life? facebook i can live without, although i have to admit its pretty great to see what your friends are up to, but there does come a point where its a waste of time, and you realise its been two hours of checking other peoples lives...bit wierd that form of cyber socialising, if we can call it socialising!!
right now i want to get this blog working more, set up a rhythm of reflecting more on the process and my experience here in Chongon with the Media Project....there is a lot to write about in the last few weeks, its all jumbled up in my mind and im finding it hard to articulate in this moment.....anyways just to have the net, even for ten minutes, somehow i feel better...
wierd
for most people in chongon, having a computer, having internet doesnt really cross their mind anywhere much as it does mine!
