Posted December 8, 200618 yr wuddup to teh m3n probably shoulda posted this in private forums, but im gunna go out on a limb on this one and assume that there is some intelligence out here ;) my life has come to the point where i KNOW i need to make some changes, and if i dont, i'm not gunna end up where i truly want to be. i'm not saying that myg0t is a big part of it, because its not, but i do realize that it is a small fraction of the problem... not myg0t itself, but just the whole internet thing in general; i've really started to consciously notice lately that im on the computer waaaay more than i should be, and going in patterns: check one site, check this, check that, play a game, and then start all over, hours get eaten up like minutes and its no worse than any sort of drug addiction. this eats so much of my time, that i could be using on much more productive things like making money, chilling with my real friends, shit just about anything... reading a book would be ten times more productive then surfing though hotlinks for 4 hours a day... on top of this my job sucks and i can make barely enough money to keep my car on the road, let alone have my own place (which i dont) booze and drugs are probably the biggest of the worries, as i drink as much and as often as possible, often ending up in shit that i really dont need to be in. i've almost lost my life to these habbits, and on multiple occasions almost lost my freedom, not to mention friends ive fucked over countless times. im 21 years old and its time to think about more important things. my future, education, family, girlfriend, employment and all the REAL WORLD things. i've come to the decision that im gunna try not drinkin or anything like that (well besides the ciggerettes...) for a month, im also ripping the internet connection out for the same amount of time, im gunna start hunting for a full time legitment job that will get me some real money... and take some time to SMELL TEH ROSEZ. im thinkin this will make me feel 100times better about this whole "life" thang. maybe im havin a midlife crisis early or somethin, lol, i dunno, but i just have this overwealming urge to CHANGE. its not like im depressed or anyhting near that, its just i sometimes get the feeling im not living up to my potential. change... anyone else have any idea what im talking about? anyone else have similar thoughts. im very interested to see what some of the older members have to say about this topic, i know you guys are out there go ahead share, i promise i wont think less of you if you dont post a picture of hitler fucking a dog in the ass. I'm posting this to hopefully stir some honest and truthful posts out of this place. i know myg0t is all about pissing people off in games, and i also know that 90% of this forum consists of tranny pics, and retarded attempts at acting nazi e-cool; and thats one thing, its all in good fun, but the fact is for every user on these boards, they're just, for the most part, normal people behind there screens...althgouht im sure some of you cunts are actually just really fucked up...hahaha..... which is also all good, as long as you happy dawg. so i guess this thread is for anyone that is literiate, thinks, and has things to say, i know you are out there somewhere... bring it on

December 8, 200618 yr Quote d0wn;413558']brb 1 month I wish you luck on the whole enlightenment quest holmes. When I was online 24/7 everyday, I didn't realize that my IRL friends and family were wondering where I was all the time. Nothing got done. I noticed that when I moved to California, and didn't have an internet connection for a few days, that I was hanging out with friends, and spending more time with my family. I'm sort of glad that being online, even though I still go online probably too much, isn't the focal point of my day anymore. Let me know how it goes. peaz
December 8, 200618 yr Yep, I was having the same thought the other day, that it's time for awhile to get the fuck off the computer for awhile, not like leave it and not come back for a month like you're doing (Not 'knocking' you for it) but just spending a lot less time on it. I got a job now, so that's no problem, but I guess with me it's more or less meeting new people (I do know a couple people here, but meh, they're pretty much dickheads) Especialy when in a country that isn't my own, where most everything is different to what I'm used, but that all started to change last night when I met this chick, so she all wants to hang out and shit, so yeh, that's all going good. The whole reason I moved to USA was to change my life, and so far it hasn't been much of a change at all, well until I start work and go to college. So yea d0wn you aren't really alone on it, I feel the same way you do about it all the time, and I do spend less and less time on the PC than I used to, going to the gym, mall, hanging out with a friend, etc etc. But good luck to you, hope you get the job and everything works out for you with your life.
December 8, 200618 yr i still got about a year and half in front of me before I move on into college and stuff like that but I've noticed that i have been spending way to much time on the internet sometimes and ive made strives in corectiong it, but not too much since i still cant really do anything yet (legally), and if i could id do it everyday. BUT POSTS LIKE THESE MAY BE INSPIRATIONAL. anyways i try to balance my time, internet here, friends there, and i read books daily cause i feel books are essential to life (so u dont grow up to be [myg0t]0pter) peace in ya travels d0wn, just glad you aint leaving for reals cuz u are the lulz
December 8, 200618 yr kk dont have to much fun. after a month read this thread beacuse i have a question when you get back. wubu2?
December 8, 200618 yr Stop the drinking, stop the drugs, try to hang out with your friends/girlfriend more, you'll like it, it's ok to be on the internet just don't over do it.
December 8, 200618 yr Yeah you're not really going through a midlife crisis, you're just realizing you're not a failure like some people here. Good luck on the jobsearch. I don't really have the same computer problem, only go on here on my free time, but it does get in the way of my studying, or lack-thereof. Really, the best thing to do is just be on the computer less instead of being away for a month.
December 8, 200618 yr (1) you will generally only get advice from people who are fuck-ups themselves. (2) How will you check the replies if you're off line? (3) Hunting is a good idea, I like squirrel myself, but deer hunting can be good for getting outdoors.
December 8, 200618 yr good luck in your adventures outside the matrix in the fake world, you will be back, they always come back...
December 8, 200618 yr I signed up for this quarter at ITT for some of the same reasons, but im not about to give up the net. hopefully ill have an associates by march 08 and im actually gonna be going to school for the shit i want to do. none of that bs shit like art history classes or motherrfucking philosophy (which i failed 3 times before i passesd it). luckily all the art classes i took are transfering into my program for school at ITT
December 8, 200618 yr I know exactly how you feel. I know that I'm on the computer much more than I should be, and sure, it can get in the way of my work sometimes, but I don't do drugs, drink (do on occasions), and am at the point of my life where I can carry on with this lifestyle for a few more years. Afterwards I'll get a nice job and so on. But yeah, think about it, and not just you, but everyone, being on the computer everyday is almost like a routine, it's always the same. One day you might find some kick ass exploit to something which will entertain you for a couple of hours, but all the rest is the same. So, we've got one side, the computer, which as I've said is the same practically everyday. But, on the other hand, we could go out get a job (not me just yet), chill out with friends, do activities like gym etc, or maybe even concentrate on our educations a bit more. Fair enough the majority of us think work sucks, but remember, it's worth it by far in the long run.
December 8, 200618 yr Sometimes I have similar thoughts to the above posts.. but then i remember that life is overrated anyways and were only on this planet so we can die.
December 8, 200618 yr I'm not sure how I would respond to this thread, knowing these forums it might be a joke/some "rage attempt".
December 8, 200618 yr dude, if you realize that ur on the computer too much. GET OFF IT NOW, and dont bother us with the issue by typing a paper on it. THAT is the obvious answer. Try and get a better job - more money, more fun. Go out with your friends alot more often. Make new friends to go out with if your current friends are also people that spend too much time on the computer. Get a girlfriend if you have not already, if you have one spend more time on her, take her out to some nice place or just have more walks, she'll be surprised. If you dont have a gf but do get laid with random chicks alot of times, stop that and get a gf, theres nothing like the bond between two ppl to take your mind off the computing and other bad stuff in your life. Find a new hobby, pick up sports so you can completely focus on that. Get on a diet (this sound stupid, but really following a diet 100% is a nice challenge that will eventually take ur mind off computing/bad things and you will also find that the healthy food will increase your mood. also the dieting will make you more interested in new foods and stuff, which will get you into this new shit). Im typing too much.. etc etc
December 8, 200618 yr Bout the alcohol thing, same ways.... I haven;t given it up or anything... but I noticed ALL of my money was going to it... couple hundred dolalrs a week just on booze so I could get drunk pretty much any time I felt liek it.... My boys always come over high as fuck everyday so I'd pretty much wanna get wasted with em and I was just wasting my money... I don't really feel like I had a problem or was an alcoholic... far from it because I didn't have a problem stoping at all, and I'vev been durnk maybe twice in the past 2 months..... thats kinda a real big give up to much probably but theres better shit to do If you dont have a gf but do get laid with random chicks alot of times, stop that and get a gf, theres nothing like the bond between two ppl to take your mind off the computing and other bad stuff in your life. ^^ Hes right on that shit.... Though I havent got a girl yet... i actually started thinign about it and stopped dealing with hoes from the club.. that shit dont get u nowhere

There's nothing I like bbetter then work..... but right now I'm on temp lay off... havent been working fpr just over a month now because its slow... :( sense of accomplishment, lots of money, respect etc. I have no high school diploma no college nothing... But I was lucky enough to get an apprenticeship as a cable technician/electrician
December 8, 200618 yr I feel ya brother, my addiction started when I began playing WoW and after that it was just ridiculous. I liked the computer alot but never was on it nearly as much as when I started playing WoW. It was getting the the point where I was missing sleep, skipping doing stuff with friends, not going to the gym, not even eating like I normally should, id endup eating really late at night. I gained about 25 pounds(went from 175 to 200) and looked like a slob and it was just getting way out of hand. I stopped playing WoW as much, and got a new job about 4 months ago working Mon-Sat usually 7-430, and then going back out with my friends, chilling with alot of girls, partying on occasion, and smokin some buddah with my boys, and let me tell you-I've never been happier, I took all my weight back off, got a beautiful girlfriend now, making alot of money, just bought a new S2000. I still am on the computer but its just not as serious as it used to be, 2 or 3 hours is plenty of time on here for me, just enough to check e-mail, my$p@ce, etc. But best of luck to you man, if you really wanna make a change you can, I did and its never been better. Peace.
December 8, 200618 yr id blame myself getting kicked outa school and shit on the computer.... i used to be on diablo II alllll the time years ago.... would stay up till like 4 in the morning and then sleep and try and get up at 7 30 to catch my bus... worked maybe like twice a week and the rest id just skip..... but when i went I was still holdingm y grades and shit but i didnt got and they juust kicked me out year after year because I was either "hacking my grades" or somehow bribing the teacher or sum shit because of the fact that "you dont show up enough so theres noway you can have high grades" i regret that shit now... dont do the same things
December 8, 200618 yr Same, but to me the computer is nothing more than boredom killer if i wasnt playing a game or reading on the internet i would be watching tv and doing nothing else anyway. I go to gym all the time im mostly out with friends on weekends i go to university im studying a degree in biology. People say "oh yeh comp games mean you dont have a social life" wrong i go out all the time with people from uni in fact i would out clubbing just yesterday with friends from uni. Way i see it... if it wasnt comp then it would be tv its same thing really. So i browse forums and such just like you said and play games to kill boredom i dont find if i quit the computer it would change my life at all really.... accept make me more bored than i am on the computer sometimes.
December 8, 200618 yr i don't think you made this post to get actual advice, because you know as well as i do everyone on these forums (including me) is a dumb homo. but it's good that you wrote that all up, writing helps people arrange their thoughts. as for my views on this shit, you have to make a choice at some point in your life to be internetter or irler. in highschool i pretty much became a recluse and just internetted. in college now, i don't go to any parties or talk to anyone, but it doesn't bother me at all, and i'm basically the happiest i've ever been in my life. d0wn, you are obviously not an internetter, because if you really had what it took to be an internetter, you wouldn't make that post. my true best friends have been and always will be ones i met online, just because online i can filter through people so fast and find the person who generates most rifks after writing this i realised most of you only know me because of my forums personality, but in real life i'm not a complete recluse. i have a handfull of great real life friends, and go out every few weekends or two to paint/drink/look foolish. also have a job. ^_______^ also protip for everyone saying internet is the same thing day in and day out: so is real life.
