There’s some truth to this list and i hate to admit because we have become so dependent upon the internet. There’s a few things on this list that i haven’t done, but the other yep, i’m guilty, i guess my life is owned by internet:))

hey there is always something we didn’t accomplish from that list :) just don’t try to accomplish all those. I remember, back in time when I was “young” :P those days (not hours, days) spent in IRC. Believe it or not, at the time being it’s more than two years that I don’t have mIRC installed on computer.
As good old Tex would say;
