Tumblr is a great place to find new stuff, meet new people, and pin up the neat stuff I find on the Internet.  It’s also a huge consumer of my time.  And while it would have been nice, I didn’t find a way to make money off microblogging in the past few years.  It’s time for me to spend less time with Tumblr.

I’m busy with a full schedule these days.  While internet friends are great, I have tons of regular friends and I rarely give them the time they deserve.  I’ve got a great lady that I’m enjoying tons of good times with and making good memories with.  School’s great (1 semester down, 5 to go).  Two jobs are actually really awesome.  They add up to more than a full time schedule and I like them both.  I fit in well both places and have a lot of true friends (more so from the restaurant than the business school, but in time I think I’ll have more friends at the business school too).

Aside from trips home, I work nearly every day, at least for a few hours.  As a result, I see things on Twitter and Tumblr and promise myself I’ll watch or read it later.  I’ve taken to the primitive system of e-mailing myself the link to whatever interested me.  Needless to day, my inbox is overflowing at all times.  Maybe I’ll get to cleaning it out this week as work is quiet and slow.  Maybe I won’t.

I don’t think the Internet is a passing fad, and I know Tumblr isn’t either.  But I’m definitely using it differently these days.  It was a good run of feverishly refreshing the dashboard and “catching up” on pages and pages of posts from the blogs I followed, but I think now I’ll just check in every now and then.
