02/12/2003 entry: "When good ideas go wrong"

I know haven't really posted much, but there's a good reason. I just haven't felt the need, really.

But I'm seriously considering unsubscribing to the RBFMOJO list. Yes, I'm still on it for some reason. Sure, I had my reasons for staying. There were a few people who I still liked talking to. And, maybe there still are. But I just really feel like it's not doing anything for me. It's just taking up precious time. And I don't want to become another Ryan, who says that they've unsubscribed but stays on there and makes pretty ridiculous comments every time there's some big thing going on. There's just no reason to get into all that.

The problem is, everyone on the list knows eachother too well, and likes hiding behind their computers. Me included, to a point. I think they'd do well to just cancel the list. I used to think differently, but you should see the shit that goes on. Sometimes there's decent things, but other times it's just laughable. You see some of the worst sides of human behavior. Once in a while we have real conversations and they're good experiences. But it seems like as time goes on, more and more people just use it as their emotional dumping ground.

Discussion lists are overrated unless you're on there for some real information, and then immediately unsubscribe.

So, we'll see. I'm staying out of our current blow-up for the time being, and only reading/responding to emails that are off topic. Then we'll see how things go after that. Meh.

But I need to go to bed, I've got class tomorrow. And ugh, I am getting so sick of school already. I can't wait til summer. Spring break is too short to really start to appreciate school again. Which is unfortunate, seeing as I have 4 classes next term. Ugh. Maybe senior year will be easier.

I was going to do more web work tonight, but didn't have a chance. Tomorrow, though.

Goodnight.
