A digital misfit

Is it time for reinvention, is it time to move along…?

I wrote a long and confused entry trying to explain the quietness happening here. I can’t. Its just the way it is. I’m not feeling particularly engaged with the world at the moment, like I’m not really a part of society any more. Like I don’t have anything useful to contribute, but equally, like it has nothing for me.

Its not that I’ve not been doing stuff, its just not felt like it was things I wanted to write about – nothing particularly interesting. Well, there was some geocaching and the Last Dance/Devilish Presley/Rome Burns gig in Colchester, and tonights in Cambridge. But I don’t have anything to say about them that you won’t have read anywhere else.

All of which suggests that I’m in need of some kind of change to my lifestyle – but what? I have some ideas but I’d like to hear if anyone has any thoughts before I bias the discussion by suggesting the things I’ve already thought of. Besides I don’t have any idea about *how* to go about the changes I have thought of, but thats another story.

  1. Do you reckon you need change or just focus? Do you know which particular axis of your life is causing your disconnect (i.e. career, friends, relationships, attritude)?

    • There are two clear areas that could use some fixing – relationships and work (as opposed to career) – but I’m not sure whether perhaps just an attitude change would do the trick, and if so, how to go about it.

  2. I’ve done a bunch of the noddy things you get on the net, but I’m not sure they count for much. You probably know better than I do where I am on those things.

  3. waves hello from outside the asylum.

    [move to S of france in the mountains. clean skies, fresh air, forests. society == local community. Work? Don’t know. telework IT would be good but… Learn french, pas de problem.

    I don’t know either, am guessing and making it up as I go…]

    • How did you get outside? I’m stuck with this madness. Its horrible.

      Telework seems like a good option – how did you get going on that?
