Step #3: Force the world accept you!

Ok, you have come to terms that you are incapable of being a productive member of society and you don't desire a direction in life. That is why our kind reads comic books and plays roleplaying games, so we don't have the deal with the fact that we are really just mundane critters that can only communicate in sci-fi or fantasy references. Now, we must force the world to know that we are useless scumbags.

This step has a few rules (7 to be precise) but they are easy to follow. Actually, you might follow these rules naturally and without knowing they are rules.

1: Stop showering on the regular, shaving, or cease any act that could be considered hygienic (except for the dental). It's not like you're going to find a job and that girl, or boy, that you happen to like could care less that you are speechless whenever you're with them or that you get super sweaty. On the upside, the lack of hygiene will give you the appearance of 'fuck-it-all' and a few people might find it sexy, if you're lucky.

2: Break promises whenever its possible, this will cause family, friends, and co-workers to expect less of you. Now this rule isn't full proof, like don't skip on major promises (e.g. Grandmother's funeral, or feeding someone's animals, or assisting a disable person)

3: Feign mental illness. Find a shrink that can diagnose you with some sort of slacker disease. ADHD is one that was handed to me as a child, I was lucky to be handed a slacker card at such an young age. Other popular ones I have seen of late are bi polar, agoraphobia, religion, etc., or a mixture of all of the above.

4: If you haven't, start watching an unhealthy amount of television like: The complete 13 seasons of Buffy TVS and Angel; All 30 seasons of the six Star Trek series and don't forget the 11 movies, I'll forgive you if you skip Star Trek V; 9 seasons of The X-Files; 6 seasons of Lost; Babylon 5; Battlestar Galactica; Firefly; Doctor Who, new and old; The Lord of the Rings flicks; The 20+ seasons of The Simpsons; Theres got to be like 17 seasons of Stargate, but that is some repugnant shit; 36 seasons of SNL, sit through the crap years will prove your lifelessness.

Then after those shows you can start watching shows like The Venture Bros., Futurama, South Park, and adult swim.

5: Play the hell out of some sort of MMORPG. World Of Warcraft is a popular choice this time of the year. My suggestion is to power level game until you twink yourself a mad case of Carpal Tunnel. Now you have achieved reason to duck out of work or anything tedious.

6: Find a girlfriend or boyfriend on rule 5's MMORPG and make sure they live at least five hours away or even better, hope they live in a different country all together. This will make you look sad and pathetic and the benefit, people will expect even less from you. You'll look even sadder and more pathetic if the online relationship ends with you discovering your interest happens to be someone of the opposite gender.

7: Maintain your unfashion sense, clothes that are both out of style or a T-shirt with something nerdy on it. This will give people an idea of what they are to expect from you. Or even better, keep what ever your youthful alternative fashion alive like goth or hippy or emo or grunge, this will let people that you haven't moved on in life since your high schoolic glory days.

Those rules are easy enough, right? That's what I thought, now go out there and become a raving lunatic that annoys everyone they come in contact with and then the world will know that you are a slack-ass motherfucker that is desperate to do nothing.

Remember, excuses are keen!
