my name is joe nerve.....

I realized I haven't been spending as much time on TB lately either. My grades sucked, last trimester I had a 1.2GPA (I know, HORRIBLE) and I was just lazy. Now I'm focusing most of my time on Wrestling and School work, I try and get TB in before I go to school and before I do my homework after practice. I haven't been playing as much bass lately, but when I do it's not just fooling around, it's actually thinking about what I'm doing.
 
i'm following in stupid matts footsteps

i'm failing miserably

since i've sworn this stuff off, after those first 2 blissful days, the only thing different in my internat habit is that i'm not posting here because i don't want to look like an idiot.

i will not give up. it took me years to quit smoking. practice, practice, practice.... these ivory colored plastic and metal boxes before me shall not rule my life!

if i should break down and respond to another post, please be understanding, loving and supportive.

whatever - kick my ass, belittle me, laugh at me, if that's your style. i deserve whatever i get from here on. :(
 
I understand Joe. After reading your post I thought maybe I should cut back a bit. My problem is that I just can't seem to motivate my self to do anything. I don't know if it's depression or if it's that I'm just plain lazy.
The other day I was driving home from work intending to do some Christmas shopping. I got near the parking lot of BestBuy and couldn't force myself to turn in. I then drove home and took a nap. Then I woke up and got on the computer. Ten years ago I didn't have a computer or a cell phone. Electronics run my life.:(

If you feel it gets in the way, I wholly support you cutting TB out. As life has gotten more complicated in my adult life, I have had to really work hard to maximize my free time "efficiency". It's a continuing effort, but it can be done.

I will admit that I have it pretty easy though. I can surf while at work, so 99% of my TB'ing is done then. I usually pop in once in the evening, and maybe once or twice over the weekend. My home time is spent elsewhere than TB.

Yup that the same with me - so evenings and weekend are mostly for playing and listening to music, going to see films or football matches, going to restaurants etc.

It helps when you find activities that take you away from home (and the computer). If you're sitting at home, it ain't going to work.
 
Joe, we're still supporting you. One of the things about TB that I like is that it gives me a chance to communicate and write. I used to write prolificly, but when the adult life hit me it went away. Now that I found TB, I have an opportunity to write and convey ideas. Plus there's plenty of people here to correct my grammar and spelling:D. Also, since I am still relatively new to the area I live in and am kept extremely busy by my work, wife, and band this is a nice escape for me. The problem is when it becomes a substitute.

So Joe, do what you have to do. We're behind you.

Uuuuh, yeah, you're right, the PROLIFIC part needs a second look ...

McBassdude, when the docks are hard in the Southeast, they can damage your diving equipment,
ya know...? :D

Heh, really? One of my friends, who lived in San Diego this past summer, said that she whenever she went to a surfer bar she'd hear "siiiiiiiiick!" a few dozen times per minute.

A bar near the beach x 5 dudes out from Ohio = siiiiiick Brah! must have been in PB or Mission Beach. National headquarters for migrating fools. I actually here it from time to time but mostly used by little kids...it's kind of cute.
