Growing Up?

Could it be that I'm finally growing up?

The other day I came to the conclusion that I never play my Playstation 2 and Gamecube anymore. Now that I don't have all that extra money, shelling out $60 for a game that I'll get bored with in a few weeks just seems outrageous. Also, all these console games are more about better graphics and cool looking characters than making a good, long lasting game.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up all video games. I'll still play computer games like Civilization 4 and Rome: Total War. But I have a feeling it'll only be a matter of time before I get tired of all that too. Either that or my computer won't be able to play them anymore.

But it's not just video games. It's alot of things. Lately, it seems like I've been getting more serious about everything.

Take TV for instance. There isn't too much that interests me anymore. About this time last year, if you asked me what my favorite show was, I'd say "The Simpsons". Everyday from 5-7 was King of the Hill, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and whatever sitcom was showing at the time. I also watched American Idol almost every week. Nowadays, I watch The Simpsons and I think to myself, "damn, this is stupid", the only show I look forward to is Frontline on PBS, and I've become one of those company boys I used to make fun of at work.

Maybe it's because I'm going to hit the big Three-Oh in a few months, or maybe it's because I'm not living that carefree lifestyle that I could afford a few years back. But whatever the reason is, all I can say is...

It's about damn time

It might prove detrimental to her health if she even comes NEAR me. My shoulders are reserved for people who are REAL and who have a heart and soul. That's three strikes, she's OUT!

Knock knock - what the hell are you mumbling about???
