Step away from your computer … slowly

eGonzo Weekly by Martin Neumann

What is wrong with you people! Well not all people, but a quarter of a million of you folks.

This is insane, it’s so surreal and all so sad. Get outside and get a life. I Am Astounded! People are taking this seriously. Really!

Smell the roses. Get a real friend. Have a drink. Take a walk. Live life. Breathe…


What are you talking about you Dr Gonzo-wannabe? I’m talking about Second Life.

A quick visit to the site and from the front page…

Is Virtual Life Better Than Reality?
“When reality gets hard to take, there’s an escape to a parallel universe ‘€” a virtual world without end where real people create online personas called avatars. Anything is possible.”

I think I am going bonkers if this is the next “it”.

Are you kidding me? But I guess 264,281 “real” users can’t be wrong. So I’m wrong. I think I’ll step away from the computer slowly now and ease myself back into the real world. Care to join me?
