Sorry for ranting this but I needed to get something off my chest
Parents wake up and smell the cyber café
Recently my mother launched an all out campaign to make my home life miserable This was a war on any and all video games even ones she bought me! Due to the economy I am an unemployed Computer technician in the Phoenix area A.K.A Ground Zero for jobs so this is my day in a nutshell get up do normal hygienic habits tidy up the house a bit and beat my head up agents the computerized job boards then after that is done I Log on one of my games whether it be Istaria Starcraft or what have you. Eat dinner and repeat the cycle all over again.
She wants me to get out of the house and Join clubs or crap like that… News flash mom’s Driving cost $$$ Joining clubs costs $$$ (At least the ones I am interested in ) then she goes in to this looooong Half baked Philological theory that im addicted to video games … HU?!?!?!? How on earth did you get that out of my current situation? I have no car at the moment due to an MVA which makes looking for a Job all that much more difficult. I am on Unemployment so cash is a Joke at the moment and as for friends well Most of them left during the time when I was poisoned and nearly died from black mold . Meet people and not spend any $$$ ya right have any of you walked up to a park and just started to randomly talk to people ? Dint think so .
This generation is Labeled the Cyber generation for a reason cause its how we can communicate with out the preset limits of geological barrier’s I do got friends online sure there not instate that’s fine some of the time or when your in this type of situation.
To make matters worse she is continuing with her belief that I am addicted to my computer well that’s 30 % accurate I do aim for this to be my job I do want to get in to the gaming industry badly I do fix computers a hole hell of a lot and sometimes get paid decently if you can call that part of an addiction I guess I am guilty and I do read and research topics to further knowledge .
So she is now on a kick and this is a Joke truly it is. I’m 25 and again due to economic constraints I am back home and she is trying to treat me like a kid and place Limitations on what I can and cannot do . that ability ended when I was most likely 18 and defiantly 21.
Point is Parents as long as they don’t like start acting out there characters’ in videogames BACK OFF this psycho babble about little Johnny being addicted cause he plays to much. Its bull. Period take the rose color glasses off your face pull your heads out of your buts and realize its spring !!! The economy SUCKS and despite what the bogus Unemployment Numbers say its getting a lot worse the only reason that there is less Unemployment is the fact that people just quit looking for jobs or have used their unemployment benefits the truth of the matter is Unemployment is closer to 10 % or higher and climbing There is no happy way to say it so until the politicians also pull their heads out of there a--and start correcting this economy Things aren’t going to change for the great many
