Life Pruning

I've decided that I am an addict.

A person who recovers from an addiction doesn't try to maintain a healthy dose of the addictive substance. They cut it out of their lives. Victory comes with giving up.

I can't seem to maintain a healthy level of entertainment media - chiefly movies and TV shows on the internet - thus, I am cutting these things out of my life. Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, iTunes movies; they are all blocked now, thanks to a friend who has agreed to administrate a web filtering program on my computer.

On one level this is a humiliating experience. The fact that I can't manage my own time effectively without outside intervention makes me feel weak. On the other hand, I feel freedom blossoming; it feels like dead branches are being pruned out of the way to make room for some new fruit.

I'm excited to see what will happen :D
