Bee’s Musings

I’m a screen junkie. If it has a screen, I like it. I’ll carry it around with me and use it, even when I’m not supposed to (like texting from the ER). So, when I read about 52 Nights Unplugged, I was intrigued. Basically, Ariel (the blog author) has decided to give up everything screen-related for one night a week. I’m sure it will help her engage more with her friends face-to-face (not via text/IM/MySpace/Facebook/etc), get more done around the house, and make her screen-singed eyes very happy.

She’s documenting her progress, along with her rules on her blog. I’d love to try it… but as of today, I just can’t walk away.

I haven’t played around with it much, but its a quick and easy way to argue a point in a pseduo-blogosphere.

I saw this today, and had to post it. Its oh-so-true.

The world is full of mean people. Its full of people who unknowingly will sap your happiness, your inner glow, your purpose, and leave you wanting. There are people who will stand in your way, knock you down, and take everything and anything you have to give.

But sometimes, there are people who surprise you. Even if they’re not being said to you, its nice to know that there are still people out there saying nice things. I just ran across a whole community dedicated to the nicest things on LiveJournal.

Read it. Be happy. Say The Nicest Things to someone today.
