My mom always taught me that moderation was the key to leading a balanced life.

- Don't eat to much candy when you get back from trick-or-treating, or you'll end up with a tummy ache.
- You need to eat your vegetables along with your salsbury steak to get a balanced and good meal.
- Don't purchase more than one hooker a week. You can't afford more and no 15 year old boy should be having that much sex at his age.

Well, i took her suggestions to heart and i've lived a pretty balanced, un-obsessive, mundane life. this has also allowed me to fine tune my rage and anger, much to the disappointment of past girlfriends.

her: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHY DON'T YOU EVER GET UPSET AT ANYTHING? I JUST SLAPPED YOUR FACE AND YOU DON'T EVEN RESPOND TO THAT!!!!!
me: (snoring)...

so this story brings me back to the good old days of the BG household and my upbringing when i read that China is putting a ban on the amount of time that its inhabitants can spend playing games online. this doesn't come as a suprise to me after reading about past occasions where listening to mrs. BG would have paid off and a country of 1.3 trillion people wouldn't be suffering for the actions of a few bad eggrolls. the chinese government agency that oversees online gaming (how can i get a job with a group like this?) has imposed a 3 hour limitation for those who play games online. this isn't just for MMOs, but all online gaming.

so once little billy bob chin reaches his three hour limit, his World of Warcraft, level 58, Horde Warlock, [Brack Cats] |_33t b1t<|-| begins to lose his impact in the Burning Steppes and gets his ass handed to him more often, because that government agency has reduced the characters abilities to half of what it really can play. After five hours, 'leet bitch' loses all his abilites and drops the character back down to a level 1.

ass on a platter. now who's leet, n00b?

so what's the cause of this government intervention? situations like this, this and even this is why Blizzard and other online gaming distributors are going to start making easy money from it's millions of addicts. now i don't necessarily agree with this intervention, but something should be done about people who have problems like this. i'm not offering up suggestions. i'm only here to bitch.

this certainly firms my decision to have the bill of rights tattoo'd to my back. fuck with number X and feel the rath of lbg.
