Addictions

The other night Ryon said that I had given up one addiction for another, and holy crap is he right. I've blown almost 400 bucks on video games in the last month. Yesterday I picked up two new games and that's going to be it for a long time I think. I'm limiting myself to one game a month, and only then if it's something I really want.

I'm slowly starting to get my life under control again and I think this is a big step for it.

New Computing Blues

I just can't seem to pull the trigger on buying guts for a new computer. I've got everything I want all lined up and ready to go, but I keep putting it off. I don't know if it's just reluctance at ordering so much online or what.

Maybe I should just go to Fry's and snag what I need there.

MEDIC!

I had forgotten how much fun Team Fortress 2 is. I've recently gotten back into it thanks to the crew at Gamers With Jobs, and it is an absolute blast. I really suck though so I need mucho practice.

I would love to see them make a story driven game using the characters from TF2, they're just so amazingly well done.

First Post!

Been awhile since I've done any sort of "blogging" (god I hate that word), but I've been having a bad time of things lately and this was always pretty therapeutic. I guess it helps just getting this junk out, and since I don't really like talking to people at least this gives me a release.

Between work, my social life and the weather, I'm really hating pretty much everything right now. And I know it's silly, but Heath Ledger's death really got to me for some reason. It's not like he and I hung out and were friends, but I liked the guy from what I knew about him. That and realizing he was younger than me kind of struck me in an odd way. I guess it just goes to show anybody can go at anytime. A lesson I learned all too well earlier this week when a friend from work died. She and I were close, as close as I've ever gotten to someone at work without taking the next step to actively hanging out with them outside of work, and man, it just really shut me down.

I think I'm adjusting to it, but it's really weird knowing we won't talk or see each other anymore. If I was a drinker, I'm pretty sure I'd be teetering on full blown alcoholism at this point.

I've made some pretty rough choices about my life and how I have to change this week, and come hell or high water, I'm doing it. It isn't too late to salvage this life.

Well, here's hoping that next week brings better times for everyone.
