10 Signs You Really Need To Get A Life
Introduction
We have all felt it. We have all been thinking about it. The, in some cases, harmful amounts of man years we spend deciphering the ones and zeros by simple clicks on a computer screen. Too much time spent on something can drive some people to the very edge of insanity. So close to it that it no longer makes any sense. Not even in the slightest bit of clarity.
If you look at these 10, obvious, cases thinking -”That could so be me!” then you are truly in need of help. A lot of help!
WARNING: Pure Awesomeness Ahead!
Buckle up and hope for the best!
1. World of Warcraft
Do you play WoW (World of Warcraft)? Do you frenetically try to gain those extra gold bars in order to win that epic sword auction at the dwarf’s underground city? Do you crave it so much you skip a few hours of sleep just to get it. Well, in all fairness, you are safe and seemingly human. If your desk however looks like this…SEEK HELP!
2. Star Wars
So you watch Star Wars. You have seen it seeminglyendless amounts of times. You know Princess Leia’s bloodline down to her great great great grandparents birth location. You know better than to ask why George Lucas created those pre-quals that took a legendary concept into the sandbox only to be destroyed by fumbling CG artists that obviously should stay a few years in school. That’s OK! You’re in the clear of healthy. However, do you dream of making out with a Storm Trooper? If you do we suggest you call the nearest psychiatrist to schedule a session, like yesterday.
3. Doodle
Do you doodle when you are talking on the phone? Do you do those swirls and elaborate patterns only an absent and out of sync mind could ever think up? There are sure to be a science behind the doodles most people draw when stuck in a task and the only enhancing past time tools to be found around you is a pen and a pile of papers. No worries, you are absolutely normal doing it. However, if you find yourself doodling and by the end of that call your recently clean sheet of paper now looks like a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci, then clearly you have too much time to spend and maybe you should also rethink your line of work.
4. Marathon
No restraints. No musts pinning you to the screen of your computer, You simply type away, play your favorite game or even just doing a bit of research for you school project. Sure thing can take a little longer than expected and by all means, things never seem to turn out exactly like you have planned when working with computers in the first place. You spend about 5-6 hours in front of the computer daily. No worries, you are the average. You are the norm in today’s society. However, when things start looking like this around your workstation maybe it’s a wake up call for you and you probably haven’t changed your underwear fro about three weeks! GET HELP! (Just a side note…where is the keyboard and mouse!!)
5. Summer
The birds are twittering. It’s getting warmer outside and you can feel the springtime in the air. Feelings all messed up in a favorable good way. Thoughts wonder off to the sandy beaches of the summer and you start thinking about how to take work with you outside into the freshness. Today’s cell phones or mini computers is a great way to accomplish the same tasks necessary to get that oh so important paycheck delivered to your very mailbox. All normal. However, if you find that your love for the ole stationary computer is far to great and you do just everything to get to stay at it’s side. We suggest you cancel your electricity and start living! Get A Life!!
6. Nintendo
The NES, legendary for its groundbreaking arcade feeling. Nintendo outdid themselves with that console for sure. The games were straight forward and in most cases super addicting. We’re sure that no one can even remember how much they spent on Super Mario Bros. when it came out. It was simply the best game ever. All categories.Yeah yeah, so you like playing Nintendo. You’re in the clear. The average person have at least once in their life seen or played Super Mario Bros. However, when your surroundings start looking like the largest academic library of Washington DC you probably should turn up your blinds and smell the coffee. (A side note…the banner hanging in the ceiling is just too hilarious. “You Better Get Them Before They Get You!” – In our eyes this person is already caught and way past that. LONG AGO!”)
7. Daytrading
You pride yourself by being able to sit at home day trading stocks till your eyes bleed. Every cent is important and you excessively use Excel documents to work out your profits each day of the week. Sometimes even hourly. An extra set of monitors make it easy to spot any new trends in the markets depending on the daily volume. You have full control over the madness going on in front of you on the screen second to second. All good! Congratulations to you! You are self made. However, when you start re-designing your living room into some twenty first century command center headquarters things have gone a little out of hand and it’s time for you to let go. REALLY let go. For your own good!
8. Action Figures
The endless endings you can create when playing with these puppets of men is just amazing. Their arsenal of gear is outstanding and in some cases pure ludicrous. If you have one really unique action figure consider yourself a lucky collector. Some of these wannabe heroes can be sold for quite a hefty price. Enough to actually buy yourself a life. A real one. But no worries. As kids we all wanted them and most of us played with them for hours. You’re perfectly normal. However, when your room starts looking like the plastic version of the Sistine chapel you should probably start looking for someone to tell you to get out more. If you till have any REAL friends left.
9. Power of Flight
Humanity have long wanted to dominate the skies. To feel the almost gravity free reliance of wings just like the birds. Countless flight simulators have been released for the average gamer that wants to try out their wings. To become the ultimate Red Baron of the sky. There are even joysticks to give you that extra realistic feeling. Buttons and nobs, relays and screens. You fanatically dream of controlling that aircraft yourself. Perfectly alright. There’s many with you. However, when you find yourself buying gear to build your own home flight simulator worth about as much as a real flight certificate. Well, then you should probably seek help. FAST!
10. Beer
Beer, the essence of life for many. The choice of drink at any sports event and bar for every after work pub visitor. We all more or less like beer. Some save the lids while some recycle the bottles like the good humanitarians they are. Pouring up beer in many countries are considered an art and to master it takes years. Fanatic you might say. Not at all! It’s actually what every average person would say. So you’re among the norm. However, when your hallway starts looking like a weird art piece at a surrealistic vernissage it’s time to get worried. Or rather, it’s time for you to GET A LIFE!

Number 8 and 7 seem very profitable!! Thanks for the ideas!!!!
[Reply]
Too funny!
Definitely not what I was thinking. What is sad, is that when I met my now ex-DH, his home work station looked like #4. He would like to make out with Leia, not a storm trooper. I guess that should have been a clue And I am so glad my son recently said “I think I am burned out on WoW”.
[Reply]
whoa!!! Number 7

Yeah, #7 is definitely my (and probably any other fanatical geek’s) favorite. With monitors like that, I would probably be the happiest, most content geek alive… at the expense of my family and friends. Which is fine. Only the friends part, I mean. … I think.
Great list. Had a good laugh at the dude kissing a Stormtrooper. lol
[Reply]
Brilliant list! Thank god I never got into WoW then, though “summer” sounds rather familiar
[Reply]
is the display array in #7 real or photoshopped? if real, where from? pretty impressive (and expensive) if so.

Cool post!
#5 is probably one of the worst ones for kids (and adults) these days.

What an interesting post! Great collection! I especially like your reference to Sistine Chapel for #8. I’ve seen the inside of a simulator, and this one on #9 looks much roomier. I can only imagine whoever lives there has loads of fun flying. Flying scenarios change in simulators making it a great training tool. Of course, if he or she only sits here imagining flying rather than going out there with the real thing…Hmmm. Oh, if people come up with #3 as a norm, they’ve got creativity begging for expression…obviously.

Hey nice post and great blog Minvervity!! Just added your feed, awesome!! I know alot of Day Traders and all they definitely dont have a life!!

This one’s really funny.
[Reply]
day trading course…

Hey! I take exception to #3! Artists, like myself, draw all the time! Blank/semi-blank paper + writing/drawing utensil = doodles! We can’t help it, it’s hardwired into our brains! XD . . . All the others are spot on, though. ^_~
[Reply]
Great post. Sadly, I know at least one person who has most or every obsession there!
[Reply]
Oh, good, I’m still have a life……just barely!
[Reply]
WOW… and I thought I was a little obsessed! These peeps take the cake! Glad to know I’m a bit more ‘normal’ than some of my friends would claim! Thanks for the giggles!
[Reply]
Wow, number four would come in handy for playing at multiple online poker tables simultaneously – but you’d break your neck.
[Reply]
Too funny! I think i can safely say that i still have a life. Haha.
[Reply]
Hilarious!
[Reply]
Okay, on #4, how does he not have mice? Or cockroaches crawling out of the walls. That’s just disgusting. Unless he buys his Raid in bulk, I think he might have a bit of a pest problem.
[Reply]
LOL, this is hilarious — thanks!
[Reply]
LMFAO at #4, so nasty. I thought I drank alot of caffeine, will have to show that picture to the wife and say “Least I’m not like this guy!”

Wow, I guess that I’m more in control than I thought!
#4 really needs a life
#5 Needs a netbook
#7 and #9 are both very cool
#10 needs to have a party!
[Reply]
i cant imagine watching those things…
[Reply]
HAHA that made me lol alot
[Reply]
Too funny! I think i can safely say that i still have a life.
[Reply]
And I was thinking of myself of someone who doesn’t have a life, when I’m completely normal compared to those guys.
[Reply]
On number #9 — Dude, for real — just go buy a plane, it will probably be cheaper
[Reply]
Wow, I thought I don’t have a life and was searching for it! But it’s good when man sees that there are even more people out there, and they are far deeper into this stuff than I ever was and will be…
Good luck!

Some time before, I needed to buy a house for my organization but I didn’t earn enough money and could not order anything. Thank God my sister suggested to try to get the mortgage loans at banks. Therefore, I acted that and was satisfied with my short term loan.

Worth sharing this information. Good Work

Your post is really informative for me. I liked it very much.

I liked it very much

With the exception of #4 I see nothing wrong with any of these. Having a hobby is a good thing. If you want to fill your house with collectables go for it. It brings you joy so do it. So what if there are douche bags out there who design web pages to make fun of you. Just remember that most of these people probably don’t have any hobbies of their own and just sit in front of the TV every afternoon stuffing their faces full of beer and potato chips. If you ask me, the people who designed this page are the ones who need to GET A LIFE!!!
[Reply]
Very nice sharing. Thank you… Good information and good way your blog post. Good luck blogger man.

I’m not really a grammar nazi, and English is not my first language so I’m not expecting perfection, but holy crap the English in this post was disturbing. I mean, I had to read some parts 3 or 4 times before I knew what you were talking about.
