Last Friday I did a knock-out job working on a pair of outlines for two projects that have been lying dorm want for far too long.  You'd think that with a long weekend, I'd have plenty of time to do some hard work on these projects.

And I did think about it.  Almost all weekend.  Instead of actually doing anything, however, I watched television and road my bike and went to the pool and got sunburned.  It was nice.

I've talked about it over and over again, but I am damn content with how my life is right now.  I used to cram in as much creative projects as humanly possible to fill the gaping void that is my day-to-day life (whoa ... drama much??) but it just hasn't been necessary.  Not only am I content with how things have been, but I'm also very happy living in the NOW--inasmuch as that I haven't been overwhelmed with where I allegedly need to be tomorrow to ensure that I won't be HERE.  Or something like that.

Another problem (thinly velied solution?) is the extra person living in the house.  More time interacting with other people means less time time to spend holed-up next to the computer.  Again, good or bad?  Different, to say the very least.

So maybe that'll be my question for you: how do you balance your real life with your internet life?  Do you find that there's no balance necessary?  Does one overshadow the other or is there a ying and yang harmony in both?
