I have been without my computer for a few days and it was scary. It is scary for many different reasons...
The first bit of panic was wondering if my computer was gone, then after some time I realized "SHIT what about my music! I think over 80 G of music on there" Then I started to realize everything that could be lost, my documents, records, passwords, addresses, MY GOOD GAY PORN, the music was the biggest thing, until... I suddenly remembered my script! I DON'T HAVE a recent copy of my script saved elsewhere! That this was my biggest concern, was a little surprising
Aside from what could have been lost, the other thing that was scary was what is missing. Without my computer I was suddenly lost, and didn't know quite what to do with myself. Yes I went out and saw friends, but aside from that I was kind of blank. I realized that my LIFE revolves completely around the computer: My work, my music, videos, my writing, email, chat, blogging,... everything I need including passwords, accounts, and paying bills. What is frightening, is that there was not much of my life outside of my computer
When was the last time I road a bike, played tennis, did something active? I rarely even go out to clubs and go dancing in recent months.
Finally my ass made it to the gym last nite, and that was really scary as well. I have been back to the gym, after several months of not going before. This time it really hurt. I almost died finishing 20 minutes on the damn cardio thing. My legs were burning and aching. It was sobering to feel how far I have fallen. I was never the most active kid, but this was just ridiculous.
So I am looking at getting into shape and going to the gym with a slightly different perspective. Its not just about looking good and health. It is also about having a part of life that is free from the computer. I am super motivated now to go regularly... But for now, baby steps. 30 minutes at least. And I will see if I get to the weight room, that might take a few more visits, but right now my goal is just to go regularly.
About Me
- mbeano
- I'm intellingently stupid, and retardedly witty. Like a magnet, I repel and attract... often at the same time. And like some bacterial parasites, at first you may feel the instinct to get rid of me, but eventually you get used to me, and in reality I have become part of your normal flora and actually necessary - ya know, how they help break down shit that you wouldnt be able to otherwise. That's me :P Im full of supposed contradictions: Love indie music but hate scenesters, although I occasionally will where the uniform but only if Im in a non scenester setting. I digs me some jesus but need a little lucifer. I like boys, but when Im drunk I love playing with boobies like a little boy plays with GI Joes. I usually piss on art but all my freinds are artistic and I am going into a creative industry... maybe I just like to take the piss out of art. I absolutely love my family and esp. freinds more than anything, I am full of love, and I love to hate (playhate)

It's truly amazing how much we (me included) rely on computers. Good for you to be going to the gym, not only for the physical side, but also to escape the screen.
What he said. Ditto.
80G of music, important documents, scripts, good gay porn--you can't take any chances! Back it up, my friend!
Where would we be without computers?
Is the gym anything like they portray it as on Will and Grace? Will always meets guys at the gym, no? It's good to be active (away from the computer) and you never know who you might meet at the gym. Way to go, Mike. I've been riding my bike a lot lately in an effort to maintain my unhealthy eating habits without gaining the extra baggage... So far so good.
