The world is not in your monitor.

It has occured to me, that many people simply sit in all day infront of their computers. Some of them sit in this forum for hours at a time waiting for a reply to their thread. This is a cry for help.

To those who apply (you know who you are).

You need to get out. do something, We have members who are post pumping constantly... one fairly new memeber has pumped 300 posts in 18 days. Im not kidding you NEED to go outside, you need to do something other than computer all day long. I'm not insulting anyone, not trying to imbarras (cant fucking spell, go get steve, make him add spell check to forums) you, this is sound and good advice.

Go for a walk, play with your dog, run, play some football with friends, throw a frisbee, ride a bike, hike.

Im not joking, not being meen, im not high, im not drunk, im not shroomin, i am serious, go outside and have fun!


Sympathy, prayer... Crew of the space Shuttle Columbia, do i need to say more?

I have a mental condition that prevents me from making friends, so, the computer is saving my life, really. And, no offense BeerBaron, you sir, are a moron.

I dont spend all day on my comp, it's more like 1/2 my day on comp, 1 or 2 hours eating all my meals, and the rest is other social activities. So I think I'm only have screwed...

I agree with the subject of the room. I have been to Greece for 3 weeks and now that I am back i do look upon many things differently.

Before I left to go to Greece all day I was on my computer as i had nothing else to do and chose not to have any good friends to hang with.

Now I am back though my life will be shit with school and all but I feel that i must cut down on the pc and i am considering quiting Winamp. I am wasting my life on the cpmputer all day so i must try hard at school and get a respectable job with decent pay and live out my dream of moving to the US to live (or to Greece)

I go on to ******* and i think to myself, why am i going here now? The same things are said everyday

eg. www.*******.tk <- down | its just pr0n mum, and it wont go away | im shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades | Nemissis != Nemessis | <Nemissis> Goatse is my homepage <nemissis> Why do my parents think I'm gay | <mc^^^^> so im not really gonna do it anymore

and its just a waste of valuable time when people could be playing basketball, football or doing other hobbies they enjoy.

I'm sorry if i have offended anyone.

The outside world is a hella lot more scary than the internet: The most devistating thing that can happen is pictures getting into the wrong hands. Just sitting or standing outside you can get KILLED. Did you know: Every six days, somebody in Brazil dies...from a stray bullet.

i have a take medicinal drugs that make me want to vegitate and stare at winamp visuals for a long time while listening to Blind Mellon, Led Zeplin, Collective Soul, and other old school music. The affects of this medication last anywhere from 2-10 hours, depending on how much i take. It also causes "the munchies" and a warped sense on reality. I like the computer...it's entertaining

lol. that's funny

But yeah, I spend almost all of my time in front of my computer. It's really my only hobby. I don't do sports, band, or school clubs. and I am not a social person at all. I'm just a computer geek.

The computer is actually the main way that I contact most of my friends. I chat with a lot of my friends in TO and with Neko and e-mail some others. So actually for me, the internet and the computer is a good way of staying in touch This will be especially true when I move to London and it would be too expensive to phone my friends in Canada.

i sit in front of my computer all day, but i also take short breaks and read/eat/sleep/pointlessly walk around the house... but i think it's more important to be yourself. i'm going to school soon, so i should be able to meet some old friends.

Well most likely because a moderator has either changed the post count that would make me a senior member, or a moderator has changed mine to fuck with me, either way i dont give a shit about rank so it means nothing to me.

Woops, sorry, apperently its been fixed, now the useless text under my avatar is senior again!
