    I have friends who have nearly no net presence

I honestly want to be one of those people. I envy them in some ways. I have friends with no Facebook, don't comment or post online, don't really use the internet at all except maybe reading google news while at work for a few minutes a day. I would like to get to that point myself.

I've gone a month before, like others here, while I was out of the country on vacation for a long period of time. Also, I instated no computer weeks and nights for myself a few years ago. Just nights or weeks where I don't even turn on my computer. I have 3 days a week that are no computer nights currently, and I simply just don't turn it on on those nights. Cuts my internet usage, cuts my video gaming, and generally leads to a few more productive days in my week where I read a lot, play guitar and piano, juggle, or do projects around the home. It's also important to note, that I feel better about what I did that day on these nights. I feel better the following morning and day to.

I'm a filthy internet/online addict. I don't Facebook or Twitter or any of that shit, but I come to places like Hubski, or play online games, and read a lot of news.
