167. Disinterest.

I’ve gotten to the point where video games don’t actually interest me anymore.

I love gaming, but I can’t physically bring myself to play a game, even on days like this where all I do is sit in front of a PC, because every game is more or less the same, and if it isn’t the same, it doesn’t gratify as quickly as I’d like. My tastes have changed over time, and while I played Final Fantasy VII non-stop throughout high school, now that I work ten or twelve hours a day I don’t have the stomach for that kind of time sink and I’d rather play Call of Duty or Faces of War, something immediate and visceral that has a minimum of set-up and plenty of pay-off.

Besides the gaming hiatus, I can’t bring myself to read, and I don’t like the movies now showing, and I really don’t like television. And after that, I don’t like the direction my generation is taking, so I don’t go out on the town.

And yet, I don’t feel bored at all. It just feels like I dont’t need any of that.

Music's always an alternative. Either listen to new bands/artists or simply pick up an instrument and start learning. And if you're the persistent type who can't say "I give up!" then learning a musical instrument would be ideal for you.

Or you could just...you know...lurk the internet for the rest of your days and wonder what could have been but never was. Your call :)

I already do the lurking and the wondering quite well, thank you!
