feeling down low, living up high

The past couple of days have been fraught with dissapointments.

See, I play this game called Worlds of Warcraft . In the past few days it seemed less like a game and more like a heartbreak as some of my friends made some decisions that left me in the lurch. They say its my fault. I say it needed to be done. They say its none of my business. I say it is my business.

But I digress. Since I've feeling a bit like I'm left out to dry I went out, bought Age of Empires III, Rise of Legends, reinstalled Dawn of War and reinstalled Magic: The Gathering Online.

And boooooyyyyy did I overcompensate.

When I was playing WoW it was easy to just log in, chill out and then when you were done you logged off. Now I am juggling between games like a madman. In the past few days I've been living on a caffeine fueled rush as I stayed up till 3 and 4am playing games like I used to in college. Where I used to sleep 8 or 9 hours I am now sleeping 5. And you know what? The world is a huge rush! I am feeling more alive than ever! I don't feel tired or sleepy at work.

This is totally contradictory to what I expected to feel. I thought I'd be sluggish, tired, worn out. But through the gratuitous use of caffeine I am alliveeee. ALIVEEEEEEEEE.

And all that it cost me was eye-hand coordination and my attention span.

A 20oz coffee and 1 Red Bull were fatally destroyed during the writing of this post.
