I almost neglected to make a post today, which would have been a horrible shame. I got sucked into a video game. Video games consume a lot of my time… probably far too much.
It’s really hard too, when you’ve got like, 3 video game systems plus the computer all loaded up and ready to play. Just on the computer there’s Starcraft, Diablo II, and Warcraft. Those three [Blizzard] titles alone make it worth owning a computer with them installed. Add into that the fact that the computer has a TV-in card to play N64 (Super Smash Brothers and Perfect Dark), Super Nintendo (Super Mario World, of course) and Xbox (Halo 2… I need to buy more games for this thing), and you have countless hours of entertainment… and that’s without even counting the fact that our school provides over 100 channels of cable free.
So where’s all my time going? Yeah. I’d like to say studying for my next Calc II test (Lord knows I need it), programming all sorts of cool stuff in Java, or reading my English assignment, but that’s just not the case. I’m an expert at putting things off, and homework certainly tops the list. And studying? Yeah, I really have no conception of what that word means. I’d better learn before I get into the harder classes, but in high school looking at the cover of the book was what I did to study (maybe I would have broken that habit if it wasn’t so effective).
When I’m not playing video games I do try to make time for the homework though… after I spending several pointless hours chatting Ð no wait Ð babbling online. I don’t mind talking to my friends and stuff online (obviously), but the sad thing is that often times the conversations I spend hours with online have no real worth, not even as conversation. “Hi. How are you? Bye.” Take that out of my time instant messaging, and I’d have enough time left over to cure cancer.
So here’s to another hour of wasting time, my blog, and the countless hours I’ll spend playing Diablo II this weekend instead of writing my final English paper.
