Internet Limiter Released! (by default)

 I revise yesterday's statement. Humans are built for movement. Not just running. Obviously? >.<

I was blinded briefly by the brilliance of the book 'born to run' but am now following it up with 'Exercise' by Lieberman, which in terms of a book about health, I much prefer. Though the stories about ultramarathoners and stuff from Born to Run are quite good and inspiring too.

But I started this entry for another reason: to report that my intentional internet restriction has basically died on the vine. It did fulfill it's purpose-- got me out of a rut and a loop of constantly being online, and out into new activities and thinking about ways to actually improve my life, rather than hide from it in glorious shiny abstraction and dopamine hits(though plenty of that still ongoing. Lots of MHGU going on with roommate at this time.)

I am still committed to my idea of owning very few things and  hand in hand with that, being generous with my excess possessions as I feel comfortable. My goals are still to save up money and prepare to be as mobile as possible. I have not given any serious consideration to leaving Kitsap County until after this winter is over. Despite all the possible problems, I am looking forward to snow, and to warm tea on cold nights.

Part of me still yearns for Moab-- but I am trying to keep in mind the advantages and disadvantages of where I am at, versus where I think I might want to be.
