"Dear bison..." OR "Let me help you help me help you"

If the above quote just described me perfectly should I really be concerned?

Yes.

...but if some of you continue on your paths unobstructed, that's where you'll end up: friendless, alone and spotty.

Now, I am officially concerned. How do I prevent this from happening?

Well, you're going to have to think about what makes you happy (actually happy, not temporarily giddy or momentarily distracted from the vacanct place you call your heart), and then order your life in such a way as to ensure that you can do that thing which makes you happy on a regular basis.

Alternately, you can describe your typical habits and I can deride you for them.

Dear Bison,
I have never heard the word:

What does it mean?

My typical day: I wake up groggy around 6 PM and don't really want to get out of bed. Once I manage to get out of bed I drink a Mountain Dew and smoke a cigarette. After the cigarette I brew some coffee and spend the first few hours of my day browsing 2+2 and occasionally posting.

After 3 cups of coffee I start playing 8-tables at Party. I play 400 hands and take a break to browse 2+2 and occasionally post. I do this 4 times throughout the evening so I get in about 1600 hands. After I'm done playing poker, I browse 2+2 and occasionally post. At some point I'll look at naked women posing on a website. I start getting sleepy when the sun comes out and eventually go to bed. I will repeat this same routine the next day.

It means it's time to open a book without playing cards on the cover.

Dear bison,

I am moving out of my parent's house very soon, and I don't know how to wash clothes. Should I even bother with it?

[bisonbison]

My typical day: blah blah blah

Get a part-time job that'll get you out of the house and into contact with people other than the middle-aged woman who runs the midnight checkout at 7-11. It doesn't matter how menial it is, just find something that doesn't involve cleaning bathrooms and you're golden.

Sleep from 2am - 10am, go to work for 4-6 hours, come home, play poker, go to sleep.

You'll play just as much poker, make more money, meet people and get out of the house. When you get to this point, let me know.
