Still not a fan of RSS

I’m a packrat. A big packrat. I have addictions to things – I try to read everything and not miss anything.
That’s why RSS does NOT appeal to me. I liken RSS to a big pile of journals I’ve been ”meaning to read” all piling up and reminding me that I have 200 posts here to read and 100 posts there.
I currently keep up on blogs and newsfeeds this way – if I have a little time, I will always read Deadspin. I generally look at football365.com and soccertv.com in the morning. I read my horoscopes. But if I’m busy that’s it. If I’m bored, I have hundreds and hundreds of blogs I like to look at. But that only happens occassionally. I don’t want to be reminded that they are posting even if I’m not available to read.
I can see that for others who don’t think this way, it would be different. But this is a piece that I can say for sure I won’t use after 23 Things is over.
