My Nights in the Hills.

I just caught up on a bunch of videos from my Favourite Internet TV site.

Rev3 (Revision3)

And on one of the shows (The Digg Reel) and the video was of the guy from “Questing” an online video review V-log about various games  this guy has played, He all the sudden had an epiphany and said “What the fuck am I doing? I’m 30, I have no wife I am overweight and lonely” this was all because of video games,  (Video right here) and It kind of got me thinking.

What am I doing with my life? What do I look forward to day by day.

For one my girlfriend, Family and …Video games. Mainly MMOs, A job is not one of my priorities..It could be the state of the town I live in, or maybe something I should have faced a long time ago…My Laziness and dependence on the inter-webs. Don’t get me wrong I use the Internet in productive ways other than for the sake of wandering mystical worlds, Being apart of a mafia, Being apart of a few survivors in a zombie apocalypse and the biggest one…Peering into peoples life because they thought they should share it on the Book of Faces.

I use this wonderful creation for things like Job hunting (When I feel ambitious) Meeting people who I have actually had a good time with in my lifetime (via Social Networks) and to learn brand new things day to day (also thanks to Social Networking)

Why complain about it? Because I would love to start doing things with my life that will actually benefit myself later on. leveling a character to 80 or Being apart of the biggest mafia on Zynga may find me new friends, and it’ll make me feel just that much better because I think I am gaining something new.

Chances are, I’m not.

Now while I was watching another one of my fave shows from Rev3 titled Diggnation The hosts (Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose) They were talking about things they have done with their life making it worthwhile, this being Bungee Jumping. Yeah I know right, Bungee Jumping. It’s something that simple that pries you away from the keyboard and mouse just long enough, and You know what, It actually benefits you, you can say you went bungee jumping.

So Back to the original point at hand, Among the video of how gaming can make you lose everything, and how something as simple as bungee jumping signifies that you’ve done something with your life.

It made me realize I really haven’t and I’m happy. It’s sort of confusing to think about it, but I could care less about how much money I owe, How many friends I don’t have. It really doesn’t bother me. I like to think that life is going to throw you as many pitches as you want, If you miss..well it was for a reason.

Works for me.
