I've had this complaint for a long time... But now i feel like posting a journal about it. Kids need to be going outside, not playing games all the time, not making gfx all the time, not modeling all the time. I found a comment on youtube which can now be found here

But I know everyone has seen similar comments all over the net! Im guilty of it when i was younger... staying up until 6am playing Diablo 2,not making plans on Fridays at 10pm bc i had Soldier of Fortune 2 clan practice for the Flaming Heads, or the RenegadeZ. I had some great times with those people, and made some awesome friends...Online. It wasn't until my Junior year in High School that i joined SGA and realized wow... there is so much to do out here. So listen kids... Computer's are for hobbies! Unless Gaming, or GFX are your jobs they're just for hobbies. So unless your plans fall through... don't spend hours on them. Yes they're fun... i love modeling stuff on Cinema4d, but i do them on weekdays when friends are at school, until work if i have no plans after work(which is the case usually bc i work to midnight 6days a week) I get online and do something. Take it from me though, and if this gets passed around i know many other people young and old will have the same stories. We have been Net heads... everything we do involves the net... and then we realized there is life outside of Games... and outside of GFX. Stop wrapping yourselves up in games... The kid who posted that on youtube... might have been joking, might not have. But out of all of the ones i have personally read that is the saddest attempt at a joke, and the most depressing one if it wasn't a joke.
