ceriSince systemic illness keeps me mostly at home and since I are a brite 'un raised by parents who shared with us their love of learning and appreciation for rhetoric, I read a lot. I was an avid Usenet reader and poster back in the day, and I like the blogosphere. But every so often I realize that I'm frittering away passion on it that I want for other things, and I'm having another of those moments now.
Really, though, it's not the blog posts that rot my soul. It's the commenters, far more often. So I'm spending the afternoon throwing blogs I like into Google Reader and then adding to /etc/hosts so that I will have to work harder if I want to expose myself to the toxic trash in the comments. I'm hoping this'll leave me more free time and soul for reading, thinking, and acting about stuff in the world I'm moving into, instead.
