Back to Blogging

It's a long time since I've been here and wrote anything. It may look like I've abandoned my Social Hallucinations. Only spammers seemed to enjoy my absence, the less I wrote, the more spam comments and trackbacks they posted here. It's almost like hyenas that sensed that I didn't care. I did care but suddenly life struck me with its dose of suffering, serious problems to take care of and significant decision to be taken. I needed to prioritize. There hasn't been enough time for everything. With my fierce nature of jumping into projects and putting all my heart into them, it wasn't easy to find balance and put some things, like blogging and twittering on hold. It gives a perspective and fresh look. The less time I spent on twitter the less updated I was and unread posts in RSS feed piled up. What I've discovered was how much pollution I was exposed to. 3000 unread posts, maybe 100 worth of reading, thousands of tweets each day, 95% crap, social media guru-shmuru bullshit all day long, self-promotion, mutual masturbation of experts supporting and RT one another. I've realized I was trapped in the hunt of information, in the unfulfilled need of being on and up-to-date all the time. Why? Glittering lure of the new social web where there is little social but majority of information being pushed via various pipes. I took a break, looked at the blue sky and I realized I needed to clean up. So here I am at the beginning of my summer break ready to clean up the information clutter I've created around myself. I am ready to cut down and balance the digital life. And I am looking forward to get back following and having interesting conversations with some great people I've met in cyberspace, writing down my "social hallucinations”, getting wiser and just having fun. I do start it with reading paper book of Hugh "Ignore Everybody". Have a great summer! See you around :-)
