I just read the old article by Kenyon. Thought it was great.

http://www.thejediacademy.net/articles_detail_page.php?f_id=42

How many of you thought that the article described you accurately? Why do some of us turn to internet? A lot of us are very intelligient, and physically endowed. We recognize the fun in a world of imagination where anything is possible, but it is just that-imagination. Eventhough we have fun, there is something inside us that tells us that we are not truely happy, that we are missing out on a lot of life. What is it that prevents us from getting up the chair, and walking out the door? Is it fear, anxiety? Please share your thoughts.

I wont go into detail about my life and stuff like that...
Theres one thing imma say tho...

Its how I CHOOSE to live and have fun in my freetime.What causes that freetime is pretty much irrelevant...its there and im spending it with sitting infront of my pc and playing games.

Others read books...im playing games.My interest is aimed towards that stuff and thats why i dont see any reason to stop with it.

Besides...there arnt a lot of other option you may have nowadays...but thats pretty much based on the different ways of life u ppl use to have.

For me it would be simply not being of legal age
to do anything. I can't see any good movies, because
I can't get in (age limit 16), I can't get into bars
(age limit 16, others 18), etc. etc.
If I wouldn't be on the internet I'd be watching
TV basicly:P
For me it would absolutely not be fear or anxiety, if it'd be something it'd be lazyness:P

edit:// Kenyons article rocks indeed.
edit2:// On the other hand, I'm playing field hockey, playing the clarinette, I do judo and am scoring fiarly high marks at school:P
