I Got Distracted
I am, as most of you know, an alkie. Though I quit drinking in 1985, I still have what I would call an obsessive personality. I tend to get addicted to things. Some of these, like fatty food, are bad for me. Others, like exercise, can be good unless I overdo it. At one time, my motto was, "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing." That has led to problems.
I leave it to you to decide whether my blogging penchant is positive or negative.
Lately, I've been distracted by another one of my negative additions. I love online strategy war games. In the past, I have missed days of work while sitting at home, in command of some fictional army. I also tend to spend money on it, too.
So yesterday, I was so caught up in online war games I neglected to post. I could tell you I was held up by basketball, but that would be a lie. You may laugh, but this is just one of my many problems.
If you think video game addiction hits only young teenagers, I can say it gets me too at times.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Those things cost money? My supervisor plays World of Warcraft I'M pretty sure that's what it's called. He never mentioned money.
ReplyDeleteIf you want some things, like speed-ups, you have to pay. But you can play a lot for free.
ReplyDeleteow - knew something was wrong. You weren't your Demo loving self. Even basketball wasn't mentioned. You just posted from newspaper articles. At least you didn't piss a lot of people off this past week or so.
ReplyDeleteI owe you an apology, I assumed it was all the online gay porn that was grabbing your attention.
ReplyDeleteMy son does the same thing
ReplyDeleteSince we’re all ‘coming out’ today, I may as well admit my secret addiction.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Matt and I am addicted to porn....mainly Asian massage parlor porn!
You gonna tell us the name of the game?
ReplyDeleteRise of civilizations.
ReplyDeleteMatt, you’re not coming out unless you completely ID yourself.
ReplyDeleteI have heard there is now interactive Asian massage porn online. Sounds unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteGetting in touch with your inner Sulla? Ave Bernius!
ReplyDeleteBernie, who did you pick as your warrior avatar.
ReplyDeleteUlysses S Grant
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think Hannibal, Caesar and Scipio were the greatest commanders in history. Sulla, who never lost a battle, would be number four.
ReplyDeleteHow surprising! O’Hare playing with his joy stick by himself!
ReplyDeleteI see you really do lean left on most but when it comes down to a real warrior you seem to be in need of the right! Than would that be the first Hannibal or the last seeing as they were made backwards, Starling?
ReplyDeleteBernie you are allowed off time but I was surprised you had nothing to say about the coming tear down of Martin Tower. This is a total back room deal going down. It has been a planned back room deal for a long time. Stay tuned for Allentown part two in Bethlehem staring Donchez and Karner.
