Self Talk Analysis

Ok, well I exaggerate, it hasn’t actually “destroyed” my life yet and I’m hoping to soon gain control again, but I admit it, “my name is Rick and I’m a social- networkaholic.”  Can I confess that it has an ugly grip on my time and energy?  Let’s throw blogging in there as well.  I mean look at what I’m doing right this minute.  While I could be listening to Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson read the script for their nightly news broadcast, or while I could be preparing for a lesson I’m teaching Sunday, I’m sitting at my computer pounding away.  For who?  For what?  Is anyone really interested in my occasional diatribes?  I have enjoyed reconnecting with friends that I haven’t seen or conversed with in many, many years.  It’s fun to carry on conversations with several people at once unfettered by geography or phone charges.  I think blogging gives me a feeling that I’m being heard  even though my audience is well below 1 million readers.  Anyway Jeopardy’s on so I must go.
