And there you go


I have found my resolution this year. It took me a long time to figure it out, but it came to me like a flash.

I think that technology is a great thing, but I find it has become overused nowadays.

How have I come to this conclusion? Look around you. How many times do you take your phone and CALL someone? Instead we resort to texting, MSN.... Sure it's useful, but too many of us use this so we don't have to TALK to someone directly.

Instead of going out skiing, biking, running, have a picnic, we sit in front of our computers, PS3's and XBox's and play online games. Instead of inviting people over to play a game, we'd rather all stay home separately and talk on Ventrillo, Skype, etc... We'd rather play World of Warcraft and stay confined in our bedrooms than be together as a group.

Instead of really listening to music, we download it and put it aside.

Instead of taking real photos, we use digital cameras and leave the photos on our computers, losing them when the CPU fails.

Instead of taking up a pen and write a letter to someone, we send e-mails to be deleted.

So this is my resolution. I'm going back to the roots. While I'll still use my computer and gaming consoles, while I'll still be drawing in Photoshop, I'll take the time to call people when I want to talk to them unless it's very late. I'll take the time to write letters. I'll take the time to go outside and do something else than play video games once in a while. I'll discard most online games (except Chess cause it's fun ;) ) I'll write on paper sometimes, not just for scribbles and notes. I'll make sure to print out as many photos as I can to keep their mementos alive. I'll take the time to be ME and not care how people perceive it. If I want to listen to 90's music, I will. If I want to draw or write something, I will. Because it is for ME. Nobody but ME.

That's my resolution people.

<3 I love this resolution, and especially with my generation, most of what you said about technology is so true. Frell, are afraid to call me on my house phone for fear of getting my parents.

You go girl!

LOL Yeah, it seems we don't want to "talk" to each other anymore, which is sad. :( The only time I think texting is necessary is when, for example, when my husband's at work and it would disturb him, and after my daughter's in bed because she's still a little young and I don't want to wake her up over a phone call.

I miss writting letters to you, like we did back in high school XD That was a lot of fun. We'll have to start that up again :D I also much preffer talking to you on the phone over typing on MSN. And you know what? In a way, I miss coloring with pencil crayons... I think I even enjoyed it more than photoshop. I'm looking forward to when Xander and Owen are old enough for art projects XD

I knooow! I miss writing those letters. It was so much fun and it was great waiting for a response in the morning or during class XD

I don't really miss coloring with pencils. I like all the options I get with photoshop. :)

But yeah I can't wait to sit down and draw with Mia :D

I don't own a cell phone and often talking to people.

Can't play online so I invited family.

I do most of that stuff by the roots :D

I would write people letters if they wrote me letters, but no one does.
