when i leave the boards more annoyed, pissed off or apathetic than i came to them, its time for me to take a break...it comes and goes, its a cycle...just like everything else in life...you do anything long enough, without change and it becomes negative....from coming to these boards, to eating toast in the morning, to brushing your hair...eventually, you're gonna get annoyed with the same post you've been seeing all along....tired of eating toast and just want to skip breakfast all together...and so pissed at your brush that you just throw it in the garbage can so that you have to go to the groccery store and buy your self new hair supplies...

so, take a break, a week, a month, a year, come back, and ease back in, you don't need to jump into the deepend....if its still as horrible then as it is now, maybe you have grown completely out of it and you do need a bigger pool....yes, i love swimming in the ocean on ocassion (national leather events are my thing) but (sorry guys), i like my neighborhood pool too....its not big or uncharted territories, but i get to exercise my brain and talk to some new people...

I like the forums and stay out of chat unless I am hideously bored. It is true that the same threads repeat, repeat, regurgitate, spit up, and get swallowed once again. This will happen as new people come in, or as people make the same mistakes over and over. For me it is no different than reading another Britney antic, hearing about Lindsey going into yet another rehab, or Bush reiterating his position on the world. Same deal, sometimes different people sometimes not.

I don't come here to learn anything new, though sometimes that will happen. I don't come to validate myself. I come for the read, even though it's often the same crap. And now and then I come to snap myself out of a blue space. Yep, sometimes this place is helpful for that, if not to wail with me, than to bitch slap me back into reality.

I never viewed this place as some sort of a jump off point. So for me there is no "what is next", because this is just a read. I can also turn on the TV or read the paper.. or wowie.. go out and do stuff.

Life is life. If I relied on online to be my life I might have another viewpoint. But for me, this is a read, some entertainment, and communication. That is what will always bring me back into forums, it is a mind reaching out there for similar thought. And maybe a little reminder that I don't have it bad.
