Dear diary,
It has been quite a while hasn't it.
Few updates:
1.The bgm's down at the moment(the tenure with my webhost ended after an unspectacular, not to mention an expensive year).
2. My online disappearance signifies nothing more than an overgrown boy who had been hopelessly addicted to a certain online game for the past month.
3. As such, I believe it's my social responsibility to probably touch on the effects of excessive online gaming:
The Downside
Lack of slumber, neglect of bodily and mental exercises, development of anti-social tendencies, dehydration, aching limbs, blurred vision, emotional instability, disconnection from real-world issues.
The Upside
Increased nutritional intake in the form of home-cooked meals. Improvement in hand-eye coordination. Cost effective. Uninhibited personal growth due to absence of peer and societal pressures. Development of financial intuition and analysis from bargaining/peddling/trading of game items. Personal satisfaction and confidence increase linearly to the level of the character ingame.
Conclusion
Don't game
-if you are harbouring any hopes of human procreation.
-if having twitchy fingers isn't your idea of a reflex improvement.
-if your computer starts making loud beeping sounds and your smoke alarm goes off.
-if your previous month's utility usage caused a nuclear meltdown.
-if you wish for someone to be present at your funeral.
Do game
-if you're too broke or plain cheap to live in reality.
-if your mum can overlook that her offspring is assimilating into the decor.
-if you want to continue your reign as "Most Convincing" at last year's Halloween party.
-if your parents hate you, your teachers swallow your homework, your friends use you to prop up the cable antennae, your dog pees on you and the girl-next-door went for a sex change after seeing you.
4. Will be heading for Bangkok tomorrow. The city of sun, fun, cheap frills and cheap thrills. A convenient respite for the poor and the parsimonious. Anyone I know who wants something Thai, too late. I'm too cheap to spring for any souvenirs anyway.
5. Serious blogging would commence once again after the trip, apologies all round to the readers who follow the many two cents worth of thrash I came up with thus far.
