Hearing House of Wolves -- My Chemical Romance
Because if you let your computer be your whole life, it may just end up taking your life:
A man in southern China appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge, state media said Monday.
The 30-year-old man fainted at a cybercafe in the city of Guangzhou on Saturday afternoon after he ha been playing games online for three days, the Beijing News reported.
Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet.
Just, you know, get up every once in a while. Maybe for five or ten minutes every hour. Eat something green -- that's supposed to be green. Drink something that isn't essentially a caffeine suspension. See a real live human or two. Or even just a pet, for crying out loud. I'm just saying. Why, even I get up from the computer, from time to time, when necessary. I know it's hard to believe, but there it is. And if I can do it, so can you. Because, honestly: dying because you can't be bothered to get up from the computer? Lame.
