Day Six

A while ago I went through one of those transition periods, an enlightenment. I chose to fast from media. So no tv, no radio, no internet- but only so far as "news" and gossip is concerned. I still needed to communicate, and work, and enjoy music. If I recall correctly, I did this during Hurricane Katrina. Maybe I'll look this up, maybe not. It does not matter. What matters is that I learned a lot during that period. And I think I need a refresher. We are into day six or 40, so that leaves 34 days of media freedom. So, no tv news, no radio news, no internet news, no tv or raid current affairs, no internet news or current affairs. I can anticipate looking for information, whcih may expose current news stories. I will not be told, or read how many people now have swine flu. I must admit that I will watch some playoff hockey. But I won't seek the results. I look forward to reporting the results of my fast in 34 days.
