HOW
TO GET A LIFE
It's never easy to overcome innate nerdity,
a serious Internet addiction, or a hard-core computer gaming habit, but trying usually
isn't as painful as kidney stones. Here's how:
Let go of the mouse.
Turn off the computer.
Play a game of solitaire with a real deck
of cards.
Eat something other than taco chips.
Fart without recording it and putting it up
your Web page.
Get some sleep in bed rather than on your
keyboard.
Next time you wake up in the middle of the
night to go to the bathroom, don't tell everyone on your ICQ list about it.
Open a window without turning your computer
back on (yes, it is possible). Very gradually expose your eyes to increasingly bright
light so as to avoid damage or permanent sun blindness.
When you feel prepared for a massive dose
of non-CRT radiation, put on welding goggles and go outside.
If you see someone, say "Hi" to
them instead of trying to make the modem connect sound.
Visit a friend that you haven't spoken to
in years because they don't have an email address.
Have ".com" officially removed
from behind your name. Go on a date with someone you didn't meet in a chat room.
