No, I don’t mean an overtalkative person who reveals more than they should about themselves. :) I’m talking about the number of unread posts in my Bloglines account. It grows incessantly, never sleeping, never taking time off, always there waiting for me. And I feel guilty that I’m behind. But should I? There’s so much information out there and I could read/watch/listen to it 24/7 and never run out. And that sounds really boring, frankly.
I’ve read posts lately by people who recommend taking a full day off from reading blogs and e-mail and all that. Sounds rather nice and perhaps someday I’ll actually do it. Freedom! And yet I need it. I feel uninformed if I don’t read the news and all those blogs and everything else. So much is happening in the world — what if I don’t know what’s going on? I guess it’s not really that big of a deal. I miss most of it anyway. And to be perfectly honest, how much of it really matters?
So stop reading this blog and go for a walk or something. :)
