Staring at Screens

Well, since I can't find what exactly the assignment is I'm just gonna wing it and write a quick satire, satirizing anything I want because that's what Mr. Logsdon made it sound like it was.

My Weekend: The most amazing part of the week. The two days we all have off from school, work, waking up early, stressing about homework, and living our pathetic "week-day" lives that at least I can't stand. Well, that is until Sunday. Then we have to go to our religious services, actually do all the homework accumulated from Friday and Saturday, get all of our domestic chores done, and spend the remainder of the day preparing ourselves for the dreadful week to come. So honestly Sundays shouldn't even count as the weekend...they're almost as bad as week days themselves.

But now you ask, so how do you spend your incredible one day off everything in your life? Well, I spend it by staring at various screens. I wake up and stare at the latest and greatest Amazon Kindle screen for a good hour and a half, and then I walk downstairs and stare at the computer screen for another hour while I eat my breakfast. Then I go lay on a couch and stare at this huge 46 inch screen I have in my family room for another 3 hours. Sometimes my parents invite all their friends over to stare at the huge screen with us, but usually it's just my brother Austin and I. And during all of this I am periodically staring at my iPhone screen for small increments of time, because why stare at one screen when you can stare at two? Oh yes, the more the merrier. So that's why after all of this staring at screens I'll usually stare at my friends' names on that iPhone screen to figure out what's going on that night and who needs to be picked up, and then I go to their houses so we can all stare at our screens together! Sometimes I even stare at my iPhone screen on my way there! Why, my Saturdays are so much fun that after staring at all of these screens for the 14 hours that I'm awake, I can't wait to do it again on my next Saturday!

You see, I think I might have a bit of a staring-at-screens addiction, and I think that almost everyone I know shares it with me. We're so desperate to stare at our screens whenever we can that even during school, when all of our screens are forbidden, we still take the risks to stare at them and often get in trouble. It's really weird! It's odd though, that when some of my friends are faced with issues that involve them NOT staring at their screens for an extended period of time, like camping, they usually can't handle it! They just go crazy!

My mom knows about my excessive staring at screens problem too, because whenever she's mad at me, she takes all my screens away! That makes me go sit in my room and cry until she feels bad and gives them back. But you see, I just can't stop staring at screens!
