Unplugging from the matrix

Posted by NeutralReiddHotel on March 3, 2016, 2:14 p.m.

So I'm saying a big fuck you to social media as it is such a huge piece of shit distraction for me in my times of studies. Yes. it is true, the more I'm offline the more I get bored and forced to do the work I have to do. I'm like a child that has no parents to tell him to not eat all the cookies in the cookie jar… that example is spot on and that's what I have to work with. Unfortunately, the internet isn't like cookies in a cookie jar because I can eventually finish them all and be forced to stop – the internet keeps going on and on because as I've noticed recently… procrastination is such a fun hobby. So since I am not able to get parents to slap my hand out of the cookie jar when I lack self control (not that anyone would want to do it for me, I sure as shit wouldn't and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to), my solution is to throw out the cookie jar out the window. That's right, I will be off the matrix for the next two weeks. This is due to follows:

- Just got 2 F's on my last two exams when I thought I did really good. This cycle is neverending. It ALWAYS happens and fuck that.

- Have a HUGE regional for Smash Bros. Melee I want to be prepared for. That means I have to be practicing my techskill with Fox (hardest MF in the game) so it's fresh and I can't complaing about not playing well. If I play my cards right, I can land in top 8, and if I get one of the top 3 spots, I'll actually get a payout, not to mention my name on the map. This is fucking golden and my first step to get sponsored. Sponsor = paid travel… which is sick AF

So I'm unplugging from this site too. Hopefully v4 is here by the time I get back.

haha

Well one can dream.

Peace out niggas.

Return date: March 13. This is the day after the tourney and 2 and 3 days after my exams.

At the expense of sounding like a dick, I feel like the priorities are a little off here. The removal of social media is a good start, but could the Super Smash be the bigger issue? It's anecdotal, but my old friends who chased tournaments, including Super Smash, they have been puttering around in my old community college for over seven years. I don't know your life or your balance, but I've seen similar situations, and it's these "occasional" nights of practice that last late past midnight that end up fucking up people the most.

Cyrus told me that I would be the only user that gets V4 and everyone else will be dropped to V1.

I can appreciate the need to cut out the noise. I haven't made any purposeful declarations to avoid the internet myself, but I have kinda subconsciously steered away from it since this semester's started. I'm doing great too, and I pretty much have to attribute it to having all my focus in one place.

@ferret i realize i didn't make this clear so i can say that most of this week was devoted for studying and my downtime was used on smash. i am glad to say this is what ended up happening naturally as my priority here was school, without me having to plan to study THEN play smash when i'm done.
