Topic: Good bye cell phone, computer, video games

I'm getting remarried in one month. From there it is the honeymoon in Italy, a month in South Carolina, then the new job in Washington.

Hannah are planning to settle outside of Alexandria, Virginia. We've foud a real nice place in the country; though the commute will be a bitch.

In the spirit of the new changes, I've also decided to simplify my life. I'm doing away with a computer for personal use. Though we will have a mutual home office which will have a computer, but it will be for work related projects for me. I've broken my EQ addiction long ago. I'm getting rid of any games I have left. Won't be buying anymore. We've both decided not to have a television in the house. I'm doing away with my cell phone.

I've lived in large cities most of my life, and worked at a jugular job. I'm looking forward to slowing down and actually enjoying my life. This time around I plan to appreciate my wife to the fullest. I've already began phasing in these changes to my life, and thus far the benefits have been amazing. My health is at an all time high. My blood pressure is down. I've never been in better physical shape in my life, and for the first time in years I'm not angry, bitter, and stressed. I've even had time to develop a spiritual side to my life.

Do let us know if the ascetic life is all it's cracked up to be.

But good luck and congratulations on the marriage!

Make sure NOT to leave your house before you can properly fortify it with Grunts and Headhunters; the Humans may attack you before you can get set up. Watchtowers are also a must. When you're nice and settled in, you can start building a Barracks and Bestiary, then a Lumber Mill.

Follow my advice and you'll be set for life.

Dude, that's out of order.

You can't fortify your base with Grunts and Headhunters before building a Barracks and a Lumber mill.

Sheesh.

I'm assuming he's going to bring a few troops from his old base. After all, you don't send just peons to win a base.

Grats. You will be bored, very bored.

Having more sex will help though.

This is a whole new level. He has no old base to bring troops from.

I could never live without a computer. TV, yes, computer, no. The internet brings me news, information, and cheap contacts with my friends. ^_^ Sure all of it's around $20-$40 a month, but it's worth it!

Anyways, congradulations on the marriage and best of luck to a happy long life together.

I couldn't live like that. I'd be bored in the first five minutes. Plus there's the fact that Deth and I enjoy watching movies together, so that would be a big loss for us.

Congrats on your marriage, though. You should bring her around the chat room sometime before you go.

Hey, some of us are suited to that kind of life, some of us aren't.

I'd probably go insane and found a cult or something. Just to keep the boredom down .

Do come round here from time to time and tell us how you keep from going MAD AS A SKUNK. And best of luck to ya.
