Back to basics

When did it become so normal to instantly search the web for 'celebrity' updates? My morning consists of 'puncin the clock' checking Essence.com, msn.com, cnn.com, tmz.com, and occasionally the frisky.com. I have realized that I spend a lot of time looking at the 'famous' people and not spending that time wisely and being productive. Throughout the day I check the sites for updates. Then I become so involved in these other people's issues and lifestyles that I become emotionally unstable. I.E. I become mad they cannot get themselves together and are wasting money and are ridiculously egotistic. So to keep my sanity and to focus on important things in my life, I have decided to fast from anything celebrity oriented. I will not look at magazines, I will not visit any 'celebrity gossip' web sites. I will keep it simple and at the end of this 'fast' for reality, I hope to have restored balance and made progress in my own life. Peace.
