I feel like poop today... I usually shoot for 8 hours of sleep, no matter how late I go to bed. I've been going to bed pretty late, admittedly, but, like I said... Always 8 hours of sleep. But last night, I could hardly get to sleep at all, and I don't know what time it was when I finally got there. Ever have one of those nights where you just can't stop thinking? You try to stop, but then you think of something else and that starts a whole new train of thought... And it was just silly stuff, mostly, but I couldn't stop thinking, so I didn't get to sleep. Needless to say, I didn't get 8 hours of sleep, and I woke up with a headache that I still have as I write this. I'm supposed to be working for that new computer, but I feel really blah and I probably couldn't stand for 6 hours.

Anyway, that kind of stuff is boring... This is the cool stuff:

Ya'know what that is? You better believe it... I have maintained my 4.000 GPA through another semester. And here the all-knowing Internet likes to proclaim the dangers of online gaming as a cause for a failure in life in general? It's not the games. They're just afraid to blame parents and individuals for their problems, because then they can't classify it as a "disease" or "addiction" and can't milk you for your life savings in recovery programs... What a joke. And hey, guess what? I played World of Warcraft for nearly the entire semester! That is, up until just these last few weeks... Started getting bored. But oh, people who play WoW are addicted raid-mongers who pour their livelihoods into pointlessly gathering armor and weapons. That is so much more terrible than being addicted to pseudo-participating in a storyline about magical creatures retaking a cavern that was taken from them by book-bearing humanoids from another world, isn't that right, ToriaURU?

Oops... Did I mention names? Oh-no... I think I did!

So, in short, I present to you the proof that games have no power over you but what you allow it. The major argument for this stuff is that games work against your academic career. I tell you that if you want good grades, you'll work for them no matter what you do in your spare time. And Uru was absolutely no better than World of Warcraft, pfft... Honestly, I would have expected a far more rational thought from someone of the Myst community. Just goes to show how watered down everyone has become... Not at all the smart group of people I remember from the days of Riven.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shoot people in Grand Theft Auto IV.
