Bert. He's such a muppet...

Dude, I don't think Bert is much concerned with beautiful women.

Here's some honesty for ya'll.

I haven't hardly visited Music Banter at all since I've been back in Nicaragua... I could probably count my visits on one hand. So, since the beginning of August, I've practically been MB-free.

I can honestly say that I feel like my life is better for it. It's not that I don't like you guys, I do. It's not like I haven't cared for this community, I have... it's just that I feel like MB has always been my escape from reality, and now I've embraced reality and all of its ups and downs. I've accepted myself, my life, and the people around me (even if they bug me sometimes). I don't feel like I need this community any more. At all.

I will probably still pop in every once in awhile, if only to check out new tunes (just because I'm not around don't mean I'm not still listening to good music!), but if I just disappear altogether, don't be too worried. It just means I've moved on to my next adventure, and don't want to waste my time escaping reality any more.

I'm done escaping.

Be well, MB. I'll see ya 'round.

That's great. Have fun with your life.

I don't really get why people feel the need to separate the two like you can't have a life and be online as well especially in this modern age.

But I guess if you used your online life to escape from reality and you end up liking your new reality more than your escape then it makes sense but I'm pretty sure the two can co-exist easily. You will end up needed some me time and time to wind down but that's something you'll have to learn on your own.

I think it's less about "MB" and more about doing things other than sitting behind a computer screen all day, regardless of the website you're on.

Don't worry. I'm sure no one in their right mind is taking it personally.

That's the thing though with how much technology we have nowadays you don't have to be sitting down behind a computer screen all day. You can be connected to the online world at all times with mobile devices and tablets. It's a non-issue. You can be out and about enjoying life and check on things online while out in the world.

I assumed, that to even the least perceptive people I've ever come across, the concept would naturally and obviously extend to any form of reliance on online "virtual" pursuits versus the world happening around them and their participation in it. Specifically, in the sense that the problem is one specific website versus a general reliance.

The fact that I need to even spell that out for the sake of having included the word "computer screen" leads me to believe you either know what I meant and are trolling, or don't know what I meant and somehow have ended up with less ability than the least perceptive people I've ever come across.

No offense or anything.
I might just be hanging out with geniuses and am a genius myself. Feel free to calculate those odds.

You can also be out and about and oblivious to the real world because you spend all your time staring at your phone.

An elderly man said to me today I will crash into something as I was so focused on my phone. What a wise man. I've already injured myself two times because of it. And I never learn.

Good to hear you're feeling so centered Blarobbarg, best of luck with everything.
