I'm condemning myself from the internet. Its an addiction that's been bothering me for years now, and today I've finally decided to try to take a break from the Internet. A week break. So for a week, I will not use the Internet for personal use. I think the term "social" use would work better, but basically, after this post, I will not post on these or any other forum on the Internet. I will not read anything on the Internet including message boards, Wikipedia, and personal e-mails. I will not view YouTube videos or any other kind of video from streaming websites. I will not play Flash games or any online games (like WoW). I'm even going as far as not to view pr0nz on the internet. Basically, I'm stopping all social contact for myself because I find that I'm wasting far too much time with it. I keep telling myself "I have no time to do this and this" and I tell myself that as I browse these forums, reading the same thing over and over again hoping someone will make a new post or topic. I waste many hours a day doing this. My school work is taking a toll and I don't even know if I should consider myself a gamer anymore because I'd rather browse the Internet than play video games. I will, however, only use the Internet for school use. My History of Video Games class actually sites Wikipedia for its info and my teacher encourages me to go there for information, so there's a situation where I have to use Wikipedia for something important. I'm also going to continue uploading my Let's Play Zelda 64 videos onto YouTube. I've not been doing that lately because of the Internet too. I'll be updating my blog (link below) to talk about how I'm doing at the end of the day, but that's as far as I'm going when it comes to social interaction on the Internet. I'm going to try my very best not to fail. I have a feeling that I may actually go through a withdrawl of some sort. I know today won't be too bad but I know for sure that it will get way worse as the week goes on. If anyone is interested in how crazy I get, my blog link is here: http://tloayvgd.blogspot.com/Yeah, great title. I was planning on updating that a lot but the internet has gotten in the way of that too. So anyways, I'll see you guys next week (hopefully not sooner). If this goes well, I plan to do this every month. Anyways, next week. Tah-tah!

yah but did u get contamnated! Posted on: 19 November 2008, 15:19:07
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. One man, entirely miserable and equally disinterested in digital watches, sat at his desk typing a literary anaylsis regarding a wholly remarkable book (which, by a staggering coincidence, was where the first four paragraphs of this post were ripped from.) As he typed an increasingly boring literary analysis for an increasingly boring Thoughts and Writing class on an increasingly boring Wednesday morning (which, mind you, had been having a boring day of his own and deserves to sympathized with), he found himself running out of readily available knowledge on the subject, with about two more double-spaced pages to go. He unwittingly head over to Wikipedia and cautiously scanned the appropriate article. It struck him how almost but not entirely unlike the real Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this website was. As he scrolled dow---- WHAT.
WHAT.
......WHAT.Apparently a sixth Hitchhiker's Guide book is being written. By Eoin Colfer, who wrote the Artemis Fowl books (which I admittedly enjoyed quite thoroughly but does not mean I am letting him off the hook for this blasphemy.) It is called "And Another Thing..." and scheduled for an October 2009 release... and I am going to have to read it but holy hell am I angry that this is happening. I don't even know what to think. Who said this was okay? http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7619000/7619708.stm

Today I was in a car accident. Then, I got hit by a car. But it was worth it. : D
