Anyways I started playing WoW my freshman year in high school, watched 0-none TV. Didn't do school dances, didn't party/drink/smoke until I was a senior, didn't smoke till I was 18-19 (20 now). Anyways I guess you could say I was a loner/more antisocial type. Now my little sister(just 15) is the opposite, many friends, social, doesn't touch games, but one thing I noticed is instead of a computer monitor in front of her she's got a TV with all the reality shows going. When I smoke my mind starts racing, constantly thinking of problems near me and even my own and how to resolve them, it brings me really down to earth, I love nature, music, food. None of this reality TV "perfect" person bullshit. The more I see these shows and pretty much everything on TV I start to realize this. Everyone has a TV, Black Friday and huge TVs are half off. I swear people are almost mind controlled by it. My sister has been very depressed lately and is a complete bitch to my parents and I see her and just can't help but break down because I know she is living a lie. She has no interest in books/nature/animals like she used to. And I know this is part of her just getting into high school but just the rap music/TV/magazines they all see hear and talk about everyday at school is just media/fake/opinion bullshit. I have been listening to a lot of Kendrick lamar lately and he seems to have this figured out as well, it's his main message in his music.
Maybe I'm just crazy.
-oh and I haven't played wow for about 6 months and don't plan on returning in the near future. The game died with cata. Also I have cut way back on smoking, down to about once a month.
