Vicious Circle

It's a bloody vicious circle. The modern world has changed all our priorities, and 'The Man' has us by the proverbial short and curlies.

Just been chatting to a friend of mine (giving a big wave to my sista Donna), about how I've run out of downloads for my internet. Which of course means I'm limited on what I can and can't do on here. I can't play any of my FB games, which shits me no end, I'm sure I've got crops dying somewhere. She suggested I buy some more to get me through the next 4 days, okay not a lot of time to wait, but going into withdrawal here people. I said that I didn't have any money to pay for the extra, not after paying rent, electricity, loan, car service and buying food. I then realised, we don't need food (I've got a lot of body fat that can be absorbed to keep me alive for 4 days), and since I want to sit on my arse online, I don't need the car and I could go bankrupt so there goes the loan. But I do need the electricity to run my internet, and of course I need the house to run the electricity into, to run the internet, so I can sit on my arse all day. Another thing I don't need is heat, cause of the body fat to keep me warm, the constant hot flushes and the cat who sits on my lap whenever she can.

Without the internet, I'm forced to do something else. I could read, read all the books in the house, I could mow the lawn, mower is in the shop, I could garden or go for a walk. Both of these things would burn my precious body fat thus causing the necessity of buying food, and wasting my precious money on a non essential. Remember the good old days, when it was Mum and Dad paying the bills, and we could do what ever we wanted? I'm thinking maybe we need those times back. Of course back then, they didn't have the internet, and TV was pretty lame. No DVD's, no CD's, no cell phones, no microwaves, this list is endless. I always liked the old records, even with the scratches they were cool, and I loved browsing in the record shops. And when they became too bad, you could use them for frisbies, or wall covering (I'm sure they would be great insulation). I could sit down and watch something on TV, but it's daytime only crap on. So I guess it's a DVD for me, or write my blog LOL.

So 'The Man' is forcing me to do something today, to think outside this little pc box and take part in some activity. Not sure I'm comfortable with that, after all there is dangers lurking outside. If I go for a walk, I could get hit by a car, or bitten by a dog, could even be an escaped prisoner or mental patient lurking behind a bush just waiting to pounce. Reading something I've read before could lead to brain death or a paper cut. Cleaning the house, pffftt yeh like that's even being considered. If I watch TV, that will use more of my precious electricity, so that's out, plus I could get electrocuted when I switch it on. Going for a drive, waste the service and have to buy fuel and of course there's the possibility of some moron running into me (I've had that happen before). Play a game on my DS, well the danger with that is that I don't have any decent games and I get incredibly frustrated with it, and could throw it and hit some passerby who happens to be an expert shot with a gun with a hair trigger (we all know that happens everyday). So maybe a nap, of course I could fall out of bed, or sleep through the fire alarm, or have a nightmare. There really isn't anything non dangerous that I can do, so maybe I should just huddle under the desk in the fetal position, throw a bit of rocking in too.

See what happens when I let my imagination run wild, and all because I can't play FB games LOL. Seriously folks, I can think of other stuff to do, and I'm not going to huddle under the desk (it's filthy under there). My ISP should roll over all unused download time then I'd have plenty left and not have to resort to actually doing something.

Catch ya
