one twenty one eh am

Its 1.21am and I'm surfing amazon.com for Mediaval Baebes's Mirabilis CD while drinking a Corona. I heard good things, they better not suck.

Then I went to ebay and searched around for a new game to play, Age of Empires III or Civilization IV. Then I decided that even if I got it, I probably won't have the time to play it.

Then it struck me. I had grown up. Well, one part of me anyway. When I was 13 I asked my uncle (who was 27) why he doesn't play more games? Did he not enjoy them? Was it not fun? I had never seen him play one at all. His reply was, "I don't have the time to play them". And I said, "How could you not find the time? They are such fun!". Then I would go back to Tapper, Burger Time, Karateka or DigDug.

Well, its now 15 years later. And I think I understand. I have the time, if I stopped playing World of Warcraft. But why buy a new game? I will play it for a while, and then go back to WoW anyway.

So I pondered this as I drank the last 1/8th of my beer. Then I looked at the empty bottle and thought, "This was supposed to help put me to sleep. Its not working". Then my face hit the keyboard and the world went dark.
