Life of a Facebook Addict

     Facebook...how did life ever exist with out this social media juggernaut. everywhere you looked it was there and before long all your friends had accounts and was pressuring you to try it. finally after after being left out of countless conversations and missing parties and things because you wasn't a part of that crowd you give in and try it just to see what all this craziness is all about.
     it always seems to start out this way you have to try it to see what all the fuss is about and after giving away half your life's story you are officially a member of facbook. you finally get a "social" life. you almost seem dumbfounded at first like OK whats the point of it all to see who has more friends. its rather boring at first. you may reconnect with a few old friends but after a couple weeks you start losing interest in it all so hmmmm, you decide to try a few games. something to pass the time by for an hour or so each night nothing wrong with that.
     you decide on a game that is so simple that any third grader could master in 20 minutes and that fun for a night or two but it just got to be where its not enough. you need more  to fulfill your "social" status. you jump in head first and go for the big boys. MMORTS. massive multiplayer online real time strategy. it all seems so innocent at first almost embarrassing to the fact you cant understand half  of what its about but something grabs a hold of you and you have to keep going.
      fortunately most people after the first week give up and go on with there "social" life. but not you. you want more from this experience. after two weeks and night after night of frustratingly wrapping your head around what you think is going on ...you need help. global chat. the pusher. the hustler of facebook. the place where at any given moment hundreds of thousands of people could be sitting there watching every word you say. you muster up the courage. you just going to say hi and after some ridicule and a lot of  being called"newb" you find out that's  a tough place to be. now what you are already into this game three weeks and have given up  two hours a night  trying to figure it all out but you are just going to quit when

     "these alliances wants you". so after what you think is a good choice you join and are met with greetings and welcomes all around . they shower you with in game gifts and give you more than you need to play. almost all of them seems really nice and everyday average people. this is nice. this is what you needed the past three weeks now you can show the whole world what kind of gamer you really are. you're ready to make your mark.
      its been months now. you have lost all sense of reality and the monster, the "social gamer" is now a full blown addict. you spend every waking minute playing. you plan your days around this game. wake up in the middle of the night to check just a little peek to make sure every things OK.
     five no six, wait how long has it been? doesn't matter cause you are a god on this game now feared by all the little people. people strive to be like you. spending six to eighteen hours a day every day taking up every second of free time so you can be a god. your skills knows no boundaries even as you read this you find yourself wanting to go check and make sure everything still OK. even as i write this i find myself wanting...........to.................go
