I need to throw out my computer

it seriously fucks with me. I spent too much time on it.
I know I could do without it, and be far better off, but I do want to go on it from time to time when I have exhausted all of my constructive options.
I still need this thing for email, saving poetry, and storing pictures and all that jazz, but I need to just not have it at the same time, because it keeps me on it all day.
Everyone else having the same problem?

I think that computers (especially the internet) are the ultimate gateway to information. Some might say "Go to a library," and yes, there are many fantastic books from which to learn or simply enjoy in a library, but the internet contains vast amounts of knowledge accessible nowhere else but through a computer. In that sense, I don't feel like I can overuse it. It's when I find myself sitting on MySpace or something equally inane, refreshing the page to check out new comments and messages and other stupid shit that I respond to and laugh about, perpetuating it... yeah. I won't go into that, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a good side and a dark side to this whole computer business.

Its not really a problem as much as it used to be, but i definitely notice an increase in energy in the days i don't use a computer. Those days are rare.

Hah, I've been trying to do my homework since 10pm.. Its now 2:44am and I've successfully completed one piece... at which point I thought I'd briefly check the shroomery (I've been here for like 3 hours now). Goddamnit .

I used to spend overtime on my computer when I was still living at home with my parents. Now being on my own has changed my lifestyle and thus significantly reduced my computer usage per day. I still do come to the Shroomery regurarly to check on my favorite web community. That hasn't changed.

That's a good point. Makes dealing with being at home easier. I'l probably use it less when i more out too.

Keep the computer, just get rid of the internet, and check your mail at the library or something. You can still write and save pics but no shroomery.
The internet is a great resource, both for information and for useless time wasting crap.
