It was another good weekend. Friday night, I got to spend some of the evening with Jennifer at our normal Panera hangout. She's recovering from being sick, as it seems a lot of people I know are! Poor Monica! Anyway, I got to see lots of pictures of her trip to Thailand and some of her family photos. It was really nice getting to spend some time with her.
Saturday and Sunday were good too. Sunday, I got to enjoy the Super Bowl with a couple friends and we got to enjoy the lovely noise of happy Hoosiers yelling and launching fireworks throughout the whole state. The game was pretty fun to watch, and the ads were pretty good this year.
I am finding more and more that video games are more of a distraction from doing what I need to do in life and I need to find a way to ween away from the ones that cause a huge commitment of time. I should never feel I need to be on a game or meet raid times or whatever that the fun MMORPGS require you to do to defeat the high end content. I absolutely must begin finishign my novel and working on getting a better job and starting my Master's degree. I also need to work on personal issues that just are being neglected because of too many long hours glued on that machine.
To help, I seemed to have developed a bad case of carpal tunnel in my right arm/wrist by using the mouse too much the past two weeks. I had to take the weekend off from playing and now it doesn't feel bad, but I dfon't want it to get to that point again.
It's time to get busy finishing things I am working on in life and focus on them!

oor Colleeny! MMORPGs can truly suck time into a vast silicon hole from which there is no escape! When I was playing SW Galaxies, I found that I could spend an entire weekend day on the game without even a notice. However, after I finally logged off, I would always feel crappy and guilty, like I totally wasted the day and had nothing but a few levels and maybe some chunks of Bol to show for it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the games, but I honestly feel much better playing Gears of War for two hours than I ever did mindlessly level farming for an entire Saturday. You are such a wonderful sweetheart and there is so much you will accomplish in life, you do owe it to yourself to always keep a focus on your dreams and goals! And I will support you and be your cheerleader every step of the way!
And no worries! Thanks to a magical miracle medication I am feeling so much better! Not, to mention, a little help from Cthulhu as well! =)
Monica AND Ctulhu supporting me?! There's no way to fail!!! Thank you so much
Ouchies. My wrists have been giving me cramps lately, too. I think it has to do with being a nerd *and* working on a keyboard all day.
And yes...I'm glad I don't/can't play MMORPG's....my life would quickly become simply work and...that. No matter how tempting it is...I hope they always make single player games...I guess I'm just old school like that....>.>
Panera is a good place indeed. Glad your not sick just hurting from game playing. You could go my route and work two jobs and then you won’t have time for a life, all the while making less money in the 4 years you’ve been on your own.
