Does the internet ever exhaust you? If so, what makes it exhausting to you?

Well, trying to converse, especially about complicated ideas and subjects, on or through social media exhausts me. Social media is a terrible conversational format on so many levels. And everything I say online that I try to quickly summarize, if I bother, will all be serious candidates for the worst and dumbest thing I have ever said. My initial response to something is never exactly right, not by my standards. I can usually do a little better if I try harder and I have the space to do it in. Luckily, my thoughts don't matter so it all works out.

Marble Tulip Juicy Tree... it's where I want to be.

But, the internet helps me a little bit when I can't be where I want to be. 'denial' might be the name of the type of treatment.

I’ve been on Twitter once in the last year and a half because I’m sick to death of the awful behaviour. And I don’t know the last time I was on Facebook. This is it, folks.

The idiots are so loud and vocal and ever more louder, ever more bitchy idiot than anybody could have expected. Today saw a mother pushing her baby carriage in front of her while the wind made her hair cover her eyes and she filled the rest of her field of view with her smartphone. Life is highly risky these days for toddlers.

It is, especially social media. I'm thinking of just staying clear of it for a week or two to just gather my thoughts and stop wasting time on them.
