GOD,

THIS IS GREGORY LAWRENCE EIDSON.

FROM THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING.

I AM IN MONROVIA, CA 91016 ;

AND I AM MOST DEFINITELY A GAMING ADDICT.

I AM IN MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW AND FEEL VERY TERRIFIED ABOUT THESE DISEASES.

I AM PRAYING THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION FOR A DRUNK LIKE ME.

WITH HOPE, I WONDER IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR MYSELF THAT WILL LEAD TO A LIFE OF TRUE HAPPINESS IN THE FACE OF GOD.

I HAVE BEEN ADDICTED EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW MY FIRST CONSOLE. IT MIGHT'VE BEEN AT BLOCKBUSTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I CAN'T HARDLY REMEMBER BECAUSSE IT SEEMS LIKE TIME HAS MOVED SO FAST SINCE THE TWIN TOWERS FEEL (FELL) ON 11, SEPTEMBER.

I KNOW THAT I ALSO REALLY LIKED THE NINTENDO GAME BOYS POKEMON. THE RED AND YELLOW EDITION. MY M. WOULDN'T BUY IT FOR ME SO I ONLY GOT TO PLAY AT JAMES' HOUSE BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN BECAUSE THEN I GOT TO INTERACT WITH THE TV SHOW INSTEAD OF JUST WATCHING IT. SO IT WAS REALLY FULFILLING.

I BECAME MORE ADDICTED WHEN MY DAD BOUGHT ME THE NINTENDO 64, THE GREEN WITH THE SEA-THROUGH DESIGN WHERE ALL THE INNER-WORKINGS WERE VISIBLEE. I PLAYED A LOT OF STUFF ON THERE.

BASICALLY, I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH VIDEO GAMES SINCE FOREVER. M. NEVER WANTED ME TO HAVE THEM BECAUSE SHE INTUITED HOW ADDICTIVE THEY MIGHT BECOME. (AND HERE I AM).

BASICALLY, I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT BEING ON THIS SITE. I AM AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO GET ADDICTED TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. EVEN A DUST MOTE OR A MAGGOT.

IT LOOKS KIND OF FUNKY BUT I AM WILLING TO LEARN NO MATTER WHAT. I CALCULATED EACH DAY HAS HAVING SOMETHING LIKE 45,800 SECONDS IN THEM BECAUSE THAT ALLOWS ME TO MEDITATE IN THAT SPACE OF QUITE MOMENTS PASSING. IT IS DELIGHTFUL AND TERRIFYING! A VIRGIN-LIKE SOLITUDE.

WITHOUT THE GAMES THOUGH, THERE IS NEAR TO NO STIMULATION AND BEING ON THE SPECTRUM, THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT ON MY PART TO KEEP MYSELF STIMULATED.

IT SOUNDS KIND OF COOL HAVING A SPONSOR VIA OLGA BECAUSSE ALL OF THE SUBSTANCE BASED PROGRAM SPONSORS ARE KIND OF CRUEL AND DISTANT. I HOPE THAT THIS MESSAGE REACHES SOMEONES EARS AND ALLOWS ME TO BECOME CLOSER TO THE FELLOWSHIP THAN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

PLEASE LET ME GET OUT OF GODS WAY (K)NOW, THE WAY GOD INTENDED IT.

SILENTLY ANONYMOUS,

-THE ARCHER
