genrader's Journal: Life sucks sometimes...

Usually I don't give a care about people's whineing about how much life sucks. Usually it's fine through the toughest parts but I'm really starting to get fed up with my parents. For three years I spent 85% of my time at home, if not more, on the computer. Suddenly since about November 2003 they decide it's stupid to be on the computer so much. It's constantly "Lance get off" or "Lance come here" and then I end up having to stay off for hours. If they catch me on it for a split second, I'm grounded for two more weeks. I used to stay off when I was not supposed to be on, but now it's stupid. I don't do anything whatsoever.

Their reasons for grounding me are beyond my thought capabilities. "You spent too much time on it in the past two days, you're grounded." Big deal. What else am I supposed to do? Become mindless slaves of the television like 60% of the American population my age? Or would they rather me devote my life to sports and working out, something I find absolutely no interest in. Why people want to spend millions of dollars and countless hours taking a ball back and forth on a field while beating the crap out of each other is pointless. Sure, some first person shooters may look a little pointless, and they probably are. But of course I don't play FPS that often, I prefer games like Neverwinter Nights or Star Wars Galaxies where you have interaction, strategy, and thought processes rather than the same old "I BEAT YOU!!!" deal.

sigh...I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not supposed to be on now. Gonna go eat...

read a book :)

Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device (BOOK). It's a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its cover. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere-even sitting in an armchair by the fire-yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disk.

Here's how it works: Each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets
