Toast?

A TOAST!!

To all people who waste their lives on the Internet.

To people who spend more than an hour every day chatting, blogging, posting in forums, browsing/surfing, playing games, and/or watching anime online.

Here's to you. To us. To the geeks. The otakus. The MySpace whores. The Internet junkies.

Here's to our drug of choice. Here's to escaping from reality by immersing ourselves within the worlds beamed into our consciousness from the shiny computer monitors.

Here's to delusion.

Sure, everyone needs an escape every now and then. But I propose a toast to those of us who are addicted to this drug. To this fixation. Who while away the precious hours of our lives, deep within all manner of pointless, unfulfilling obsessions.

Time. Is. Irreplaceable. We only have a certain amount of it on this earth. And how do we use it?

With this. With Livejournal, MySpace, Xanga, AIM, MSN, Yahoo!Messenger, GaiaOnline, NeoPets, YouTube. With talking to people we can't see, people we will never meet, people who are very probably lying about themselves in at least one respect. With roleplaying. With blowing stuff up. With obsessing over anime shows. With looking at other people's poorly-taken, narcissistic self-portraits.

I propose a toast. A toast to wasting your life. A toast to delusion.

Tastes good, doesn't it?
