Medievangelism: Part 2

Before reading this, you may want to read my former on this subject...same title minus the "Part2"

Here I am at work. At my crazy, not so entertaining desk job in a dank old State Farm Insurance agency, in all places-Eustis,Fl-When I realized why so many of us waste so much of our lives in front of a computer. For me it's personal expression, not many people are going to want to listen to what I have to say if I'm actually "saying" it. My opinions are far more entertaining if they are broadcast through the mind's eye...

Yet another reason a large, and not so vague majority of people spend so much time in front of the screened tunnels to having a fat ass or something else fat...is that there isn't anything to do in small places like Eustis. We have 2 gyms, one is a YMCA. Everything is so small here....Small town mentality involves either, getting drunk, running around somewhere you shouldn't be, or staying home, enjoying whatever frivolities there are. There isn't anything to do within an hour territory. Who wants to drive that far for a decent time, when you can sit home, watch TV, gorge yourself on whatever's in the fridge and talk to your friends...What more could you need, entertainment, information, and communication. I'll find more reasons for why we're so bored in a little while...maybe another Medievangelsim, for now I'm back to work.

Medievangelism

Here we go again. Imagine this-a world where everyone is entertained by a flat screen that posts images acrossed it's screen for no other reason but frivolous fictional entertainment. A world where only the absolute most intellectual of people use it to get informed, and a percent of those don't really even care about the useful information that they are watching.
I find that fascinating, in fact riveting. How many of us waste hours upon hours of time sitting infront of the tube or computer watching silly shows, youtube,myspace, facebook, and dare I say, publishing a blog called "The Bottom Line" that probably reaches all of three people, that are probably just my friends that are wondering what I'm doing with my time.
The point is, why are we so driven to waste our time?! Why in the world are we wasting our lives doing things like this feeding production companies and writers, adding hits to someone's website, and staring at things that have no relevance to real life. How come, these days, people can express themselves to one another better in an IM, than in a face to face conversation. We even date and fall in love through the screen, what happened to good old face to face attraction. What was the last thing you laughed at that wasn't a reference to something else.
The worst part is that we're all guilty of it. Every last one of us. Especially me. I've had more in depth conversations through an IM than face to face and I spend over 4 hours a day on a computer, every day, not counting the days when I work, then it's just a disgusting amount.
These roots of evil are wasting our lives away, and surely we can find something better to do with our lives....right? Opinions totally needed. I mean, isn't this why we're so bored?
