the screen life


my life has become about staring into
a multitude of electronic screens.

let's count em up:
1. imac (apt) - 2-3 hours, various
2. imac (work) - 7 hours, mon-fri
3. macbook pro - 2-3 hours, weekends
4. nintendo ds (screen x 2) - varies
5. LG Vu Plus cell phone - 30 min, everyday
6. television (apt) - 30 min-1.5hr, most days
7. projector screen (screening room) - 1.5-2hrs, infrequently
8. kindle - growing amounts of time
9. ipod - 20-30min, everyday
---
(i'm still too scared to add up the total hours)

what happened to the carefree days when i
could sit outside and sketch in my notebook?
or read american psycho in a park?
or bike for hours and not feel guilty?
time to shift focus and reprioritize.
