No more "Real Life"

So I mentioned to someone in messenger that after returning from Las Vegas and the WSOP that I was running around doing real life stuff. She laughed and That got me to thinking. I will no longer be calling stuff I do offline "real life".

From now on, doing laundry, going to the store, cutting grass. These things will now be referred to as "The Crushing Mundanities of Life". These things are not real, they are burdens one carries that are usually required or necessary. Poker, Online Poker, Las Vegas, WSOP. These are "Life" and are "Real" whether played out on a computer or in stunning 3D in an analog setting.

So for now on, I will be saying things like "Sorry, I cannot make it to the Players Only game tonight. I have some CM thing to take care of".

Crushingly Mundane is also acceptable and easier to comprehend for the less literary inclined

I was really bad at calling Life Real Life when I played World of Warcraft about 30-35 hours a week, I would see something funny and think "lol" and not even laugh at it, When I quit online gaming I realized I did not mind doing all the crap I thought annoying before
