Okay, then.

As I sit here staring aimlessly at this wretched computer screen, it has me totally fixated into a staring contest while it slowly caresses my mindless soul in the palm of it's hand. It's like this ridiculous B (maybe even C) Horror movie I watched last night. Tales from the Crypt's "Demon Night."

Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Facebook, Twitter. Etc etc etc. I’ve become the very thing that I think is clouding our society's youth . Social Network addiction. The best part about this is one of my college research papers was totally written on this subject. Pathological Internet Use. (PIU) Here is my conclusion to the paper:

I have now determined that Internet “addiction” does not truly exist in the real world. We have classified such behaviors as Pathological Internet Use. The dependent personality has such characteristics of an addict, but lacks the physical dependence (such from a stimulus) to be stereotyped and labeled as “addiction.” With the creation of different categorical levels of Internet usage, we are able to identify the problematic uses of the Internet. I picked this subject, not only because I find it fascinating, but also because I hold the belief that we as a generation are stripping ourselves of an active “genuine” lifestyle, and are spending the majority in cyberspace. Now, I don’t claim to be a part of the solution quite yet, as I myself spend hours online working, but I do claim to be consciously aware of the problem. I feel like this subject is important in understanding the psychological need to feel connected to the world, friends, information, business, and all of the splendors that the Internet offers. A constant need for social connection, and a feeling of belonging, colors our thoughts and emotions. (Myers 2005) The Internet is one of the most valuable and powerful tools we as humans have created. The Planet Earth is shaping everyone to be more Internet dependent. Banks, colleges, music, business are leaning more towards strictly online work. If we are not aware of the potential problematic dependence, we can be prone to Pathological Internet use that can interrupt daily activities, and degrade our quality of life.

Hahaha. This is wonderful. The best part of it all, is I have myself thoroughly convinced that all of these hours spend on social networking sites are all for the sake of promoting my musical endeavors (therefore in my mind is a business write off.) One of the most honest conclusions I've come to in the past few days.

Here's how we'll work it from now on. If I need to be on this computer, I'm going to be productive as fuck starting now. I may be switching gears to the world o blogging, but at least it will be informative, honest, introspective, and (hopefully) entertaining. This could be your next favorite thing to do on the internet.

Fucking stalk me.
