I don't miss the news at all. I live in my own little world. However, it became hard to talk about common topics. Insterestingly, I began looking for unique attributes instead of the common things in people. Started also to love people who don't fit in. They're interesting. The TV watchers are boring as hell.

Regarding the internet news replacement, do something creative that you love!
That's interesting - thanks for the advice. Congratulation on being news-free! What kind of unique attributes in people have you started looking and finding?

Also, I'm curious, do you spend much time in nature? The reason I'm asking is because Steve P. mentioned that as one way he was able to break the news-addiction.
