Media Junkie

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I'm what you would call an upstanding citizen. But I do have an addiction. I am a media junkie. Yup, tv addicts are so eighties.

I am much more than that. I couldn't live without my tv, radio, mp3 player, computer, magazines, newspapers, books, cell phone, and internet. In fact I haven't been without any of these for three years now.

A friend handed me a chain-type letter one day asking me to be still for the Lord. Maybe a minute or two spent in meditation? I couldn't do it.

Just thinking about being still drives me nuts. I'm reminded of an Alanis Morisette song I love, she sings: why are you so petrified of silence? Here can you handle this.....
