Increasingly: video games. A couple months ago I cruised through Mass Effect in about a week, and I spend way too much of my time thinking about Oblivion nowadays. I've recently passed up opportunities to go out with friends in favor of staying home and playing Oblivion.

If we're sticking to the strictly legal, then cigs, beer and choc-chip cookies. If we mean Dante seven deadly vices then I've managed all of them on a semi regular basis, all in one day if it's a particularly good day. Though I do think their wickedness is overplayed and to some degree overrated, if some of life's overachievers had been blessed with a bit of sloth I think the world would be a far better place. ------------- What? |

I used to have very negative vices, now I don't (never did) drink or smoke (did, and a lot).
The eventual green mind-enhancer but only like 4 times a year....
Coke. Not the white one but the black carbonated beverage... I can't quit. At least I do zero calories now...
Instant gratification by purchasing stupid media like music, comic books, books in general, movies....
Yes, not saying NO to myself often enough is my vice..... (aren't all of them?) -------------

Adverts in general. But mostly idiotic, thoughtless TV adverts devised by University graduates that think they are clever but in fact are quite pathetically the opposite. Here is an example.

Cigarettes, alcohol & late night breakfast cereal binges - also procrastination caused by watching too much rubbish tv (the stuff I could do if I didn't own an idiot box  ); illegal stuff has been done in the past, but you cannot change the past only the present - take care of that & the future looks after itself.

This. Generally speaking, escapism & procrastination are my biggest vices. I spend more time watching movies/listening to music/reading books than I do thinking about my own very uncertain future. I can't help it. I suppose I don't like reality all that much. -------------

- Music, of course. - Reading. - Cannabis, psychedelics, and sometimes alcohol or tobacco. - Writing poems. - Quality movies, TV (like The Universe, Planet Earth, Star Trek, etc.), and video games I wouldn't call meditation a vice, but that helps a lot too. -------------

I've found a new one: abstinence. I've not had alcohol for nearly six months now, so I'm stuck with the smoking and cussing. Strangely I think I've lost the taste for beer, which is frankly worrying as eight pints used to mean a very mediocre day at the office. ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

what is a vice? it only becomes a vice if you are stuck in something which makes you unhappy ...a bad marriage, a rotten job, too much credit, these are all vices. Smoking and drinking only become a problem if you don't enjoy them anymore and doing them is making you ill, it's easy enough to stop. Nothing wrong with a bit of procrastination sometimes...relaaaaxxx... ...guilt is the worst kind of vice.

Notwithstanding your tongue being in the region of your cheek , a bad marriage and a rotten job ain't vices matey. It might be more accurate to state that failing to confront things that are making you unhappy (which you have the power to change) could be deemed a vice of sorts ?BTW on behalf of all the weak willed and pathetic souls addicted to tobacco I would like to offer the invertebrate rebuke that it ain't easy to stop. -------------

It used to be coffee for me, up to a time when I was tired without caffein and shivery as well as nervous with. After that, I tried two times whether my body could cope with caffein, but I still can't. Drinking won't become my vice, as I felt sick for the next hours after one sip (and really not more) of beer. Might have been a bad beer, though. Oh, considering my homework, add procrastination to the list.. |

When I was 30, my libido finally decreased; I was able to look at my past hormone-induced over-reactions with severe smile of wisdom.

That, and apathy caused by depression from the realization that even if I worked real hard at it I would not make much difference in this world. It's just too stagnant and filled with a exponentially increasing amount of ignorant animals (humans). Self-depreciation brought on by recognizing my own arrogance, ineffectiveness, and fragility. Trying to shove too much information in my head everyday, so that I can dismantle my illusions and rid myself of ignorance. Thinking to the point of losing sleep. You know, the usual. ------------- That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die. |
