My Computer, My Life

So this weekend was way tough for me. So many things happened that I didnt even have time to realize what was going on until a few hours ago.

This weekend started off with a monsoon of a Friday. It rained so hard that I got stuck at home. I couldnt even let Lucy go outside. It was my worst nightmare... me alone, all day, by myself, with a new computer game and a new PS3 game. Needless to say, I spent about 12 or 13 hours that day multi-tasking on games. I was either playing my PS3 and listen to music on my computer, or playing WOW on my computer and watching my season of Family Guy.

Needless to say, I was up until about 3 am rotting my brain with these games. So on Saturday morning I was taking my computer downstairs and I put it on the banister. It flew down the stairs and the screen cracked. So now I have no computer, which means I have no constant internet access and distractions, and no WOW. Since 8am Saturday, I have had so much free time that I never thought I would have. I mean, I love the computer and all, but now I can invest in things like reading or sleeping when Im not doing other things.

I guess the cool thing about this is that I used the computer as an outlet for life. Just like my PS3, whenever I need to retreat from the world or just veg out for days at a time, my computer would be there for me. It served as an outlet for everything. Now its gone. I think its God's way of telling me to turn to Him as an outlet... But I could be wrong
