Less Computer Time for Me

submitted by Sang on 09.19.2005 in Life

I have decided that I want to spend less time in front of the computer…at least for now. Why? If I spend less time on the computer, then I will do more homework, and if I do homework, so I have a bigger chance of completing it faster. Finishing it faster means more sleep time for me so that I’ll be energized that next day. Now, if I don’t sleep, then I get tired which causes me to sleep in class and in the afternoons which delays homework time which pushes back the time when I rule the world (sleep). Think dominoes.

Surely there are some pros and cons to this, right? Right:

Pros:

More sleep time
See reason above
More downloads
While I go into my room to do homework, my computer will be busy leeching files from random servers. I’ve been a downloading freak over the last few days, and I will continue to be that freak until all the files (all the legal ones, of course) in the world are on my hard drive (or on discs). Not really though, but you get the idea.
Better eyesight
I’ve noticed something. Last year, when my eyes did not have help seeing stuff 19/5 (19 hours for 5 days), my eyesight stayed the same. -1.25 for left and -1.5 for right. Now, my frickin’ eyes are losing it. Everything is blurry now, and I think it’s the computer. Stupid monitor. I might use my money to buy an LCD or something…ridiculous. Anyway, by not using the computer, my eyesight stay the same. Either that or I can just take out my contacts when I don’t need to…and look like a freak with my fingers touching my eyeballs all the time. When I do use the computer (for coding and stuff), I guess I can just take them off. No biggie there, but it’s no use taking them off and putting them on every 5 minutes.
Don’t have to talk to my girlfriend
I think this is rather self-explanatory. I hate that woman anyway.

Cons:

No computer time
I <3 computers, but I think I'll manage. Besides, this is only temporary.
Less informed
One of the big reasons why I’m online all the time is that I’m reading news. News from sites like digg. Just go to the site. The links they have are pretty interesting. If they don’t grab you, well, then I guess you’re not as cool as I am. *cough*

Yeah, that’s actually it for the cons. Can’t think of anymore, so I guess this will be a good change for me. We’ll see.

But wait, does this mean that there will be no more games on Fridays? Don’t be silly. Games were made to be on my site.
