This Saturday is Don’t Use The Internet Day!
This coming Saturday, as in March 3, 2007 has here by been named “Don’t go on the internet day” by me. I’m going to do something that hasn’t been done by me in years and I’m not going to go on the internet for one second at all for the entire day. No email, websites, blogs, instant messages, porn, tech news, video games news, news news, zip zero zilch!
Why am I doing this, well Saturday should definitely be the easiest day of the week to not use the internet, plus I need to take a virtual break for one day. This Saturday should be a cool day nonetheless because my friends and I are celebrating my birthday by having dinner at Benihana. What am I going to do the rest of the day? Watch a lot of TV, talk to the dogs, touch Emily, eat, walk the dogs, contemplate my future, beg for money, not go on the internet, listen to music, dance, grind against the kitchen table, shake from withdrawals from the internet & definitely nap!
Are you going to join me in my fight against not using the internet? I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of scared! I’ll feel like Supermodel with a bunch of food in front her, it just won’t feel right not going to my trusty internet to get me through the day. Wish me luck!

now does that mena internet only? are you still aloud to still play games on your pc. cause it only says video games news.
julianne: no pc usage at all!
What about Xbox Live?
I’m rarely online on the weekends so I might join you.
Have fun touching Emily and grinding on the kitchen table…sounds like you are a real fun guy!
When is your birthday…I must get my internet son something.
dirty: xbox live doesnt count as internet time.
my birthday is march 6 and i’ll be 27
I’m 27.
Xbox live is getting on the internet though.
dirty: it’s not the internet, it’s a gaming service
So unhook the internet from the back of the Xbox…if you are right, you should still be able to SIGN ONLINE.
Cheater.
dirty: but i cant visit websites and chat with anyone on the internet
But you can chat on Xbox Live?
Playing video games with people who aren’t in your home via the INTERNET is cheating.
i have to agree with dirty…. you can chat with people who are online… unhook the internet connection and you should be safe.. otherwise your still technicely online.
HA! Told you so.
I’m sure Emily would agree too.
dirty: it’s a closed network and isn’t considered the internet. here’s is a definition of the internet
“An electronic network of computers that includes nearly every university, government, and research facility in the world. Also included are many commercial sites. It started with four interconnected computers in 1969 and was known as ARPAnet.”
julianne: see above
But you need to use your internet provider to sign onto it. I think it still counts for what you are trying to do and until you promise to use online gaming, then I will call you a cheater.
To NOT use.
dirty: i probably wont even play gaming anyway fyi
Wll, then why were you trying to justify it?
You know I love giving you a hard time
dirty: i thought you just liked getting me hard
Well, that too. I love your pasty whit ass.
white.
I’m miss typo today.
everyone: you need to promote March 3 on your blog as the official day of “Don’t use the internet day”
No way…because you are going to cheat.
dirty: I’m not going to cheat and if i do Emily will tell you all!
Online gaming counts as the internet in my book.
dirty: ya that’s because your a house wife and don’t know any better
No…it’s because I hooked the damn thing up and know that you can’t play games online without being connected to the internet…I’m sure Emily would agree.
1 day won’t kill you.
dirty: thats actually untrue you can play 99% of the game on xbox without going online
I KNOW THAT.
I meant that going online to play would be cheating.
dirty: no worries i wont be playing online!
now promote my special day for march 3!
spread the word!

[...] admit it because he’s still in the closet). To celebrate he has made up a new holiday. Saturday, March 3rd is “Don’t use the Internet day!” A background on Gregg…he’s on-line practically 24/7. I sign into Gmail…there [...]

Woah…how did my post get there in the comments?

No…I was wondering how it got there.
I thought I did something cool.
it automatically puts websites that link to a specific post of mine in that posts comments
Nifty!
Its easy to not go online if you have a life Gregg. Oh, how come you always go to Benihana for everyone’s b-day? That place is pretty wack and overrated.
BTW, I got stories of the securinator hassling people over here, pretty funny shit.
captainL benihana tastes delicious, plus they have white rice and soy sauce and not a lot of places have that kinda stuff!
dude send me the securanators stories!!!
That will be very easy for me. I have to work all day, then go to your birthday cook off at night. I’m on the computer all day at work and when I get home sometimes the computer the last think I want to look at. Including your shaking head.
erica: you love not being a computer nerd like me! that must be why you keep meeting all these new friends cause ur so cool
this was so my idea….I have great ideas…when it comes to your website…but never my own… we should blog swap for a day sometime.
I can’t help if I’m more popular than you in real life… What’s a cool girl like me got to do to get a little bit of respect!!
No Gregg, you are wrong. You can go anywhere and find white rice and soy sauce. Your filipino gf could probably make whatever they make at benihana for 1/10 of the price.
Securinator has been hassling people from Plaza 5 for parking in visitor parking. Our IS support guy got into an argument with him. Hilarious. Securinator’s teeth fell out and then he couldn’t talk. HAHA!
punky: so you’d write in my blog and i’d write in yours?
erica: you’re as cool as a cucumber
captain: ha ha securnator! bill and i saw him in plaza 4 writing up a car that was parked illegally!
Someone needs to tell Officer Dentures that he takes his job too seriously. It’s comedy when he’s on the toilet talkin on his cell phone or walkie talkie…
I’ll let you write on mine if you want. But I don’t want to write on your’s…that shaking head scares me.
How does this Saturday look? Oh wait…you aren’t allowed online! HA
dirty: thats a low blow! it sucks b/c i need to buy red sox tickets online that day but i have to have emily do it for me
Awe…I was just teasing you!
But you really can write on my site…whenever you want…even tomorrow.
Red Sox aren’t in California?!?!
dirty: the red sox are coming to play san diego in june!
ill be a guest blogger on your site for a day! good idea!
ok… if dirty has a premium member ship for free, how come I had to pay $19.99 for my gold membership… gregg, i want a free upgrade, but you can keep the butt massage perk, and if emily is going to by baseball tickets online for you on saturday you can’t be in the room when it happens, cause then she could check your email and then read them to you… and respond to, if she feels so nice, i think you should just orget about the tickets and pull the plug on the pc for the day.
You name the day Gregg…that way I can be lazy and have no thoughts of my own for the day. If you are a hit…you can have a weekly or bi-weekly column.
Gregg loves bi-stuff.
HAHAHAHA
julianne: i fixed your account and you now have full greggoconnell.com memership priviledges!
as for the tickets i will not bein the room when she orders them so no worries there
dirty: do i get paid?
erica: i love bi-girls
I will pay you by sending you stuff for your birthday.
dirty: you can get me an apple gift certificate if you want b/c im trying to save enough money to get an apple computer
That’s gonna take your forever!
Who doesn’t like bi-girls!!!!
Gregg, I meant you like bi-guys, because you’re gay and all. No need to hide behind the tough straight guy facade. We all know your bobble head banner likes the boys…
Internet abstinence doesn’t work, Gregg. Don’t even try it. Remember the day you lost electricity? Remember how miserable you were? Why would you do that to yourself on your birthday? And don’t you want all of us to wish you a happy B-Day?
Gregg’s bobble head banner loves guys…it’s just shaking back and forth begging for some guy action!
dirty: not when you can turn tricks as fast as i can
julianne: would you do a girl?
erica: boys are only good for one thing and thats smacking ass
Xtina: I’ll be around for my birthday. My bday is march 6
been there, done that, got the te-shirt, ruined the t-shirt cause i wore it so much and got another one….
