Why addiction is good and bad?

No I am not talking about addiction to a drug or anything like that. I am talking about being addicted to video games. Right now the game that I am playing the most is Fallout: New Vegas. And I have already burned 8 hours today on my PC version of the game. The is not including my Playstation version of the game. And the only reason I am playing on my PC is because I lost my Playstayion copy. 

What is bad about this is that 8 hours of my day went by were I was pretty much alone but at the same time I didn't care. After I played the game I felt like I did something. I reach a goal on the game and it felt good. 

A lot of people say that video games are just a waste of time. But people use video games to let out the anger or escape the shitty world around them. I know that I do this sometimes. 
 
But do you think that playing video games for a long period of time is bad or good for you?

Never Google Yourself

So I did what I think a lot of people do when they get bored. I googled myself. Thinking I would see my Facebook or Twitter pop up some where. I was wrong. Turns out my name "David Russ" is pretty common. And I learn that I should never google myself again.

Turns out there is a man named David Byron Russ. Age: 47. Who went into a middle-aged woman's house, hog-tied her and strangles her on the bathroom floor. As bad as that is, it sorta gets worse. He was waiting for her to leave then he went into her house. He then showered, prepared food, washed some dishes, and packed up her valuables. He killed her for no reason. 

It would be a long read to read about what happened in the trail. But I do know he did want to death penalty.

Eating Alone... A Good Thing to Do



A lot of people think that eating alone is sad and will make you feel like an outcast. Untrue. Eating alone is most of the time the best thing to do for yourself. Think about it... You don't have to hold a conversation with anyone. You don't have to change your plans because some one else wants to do something you don't want to do. 
And you get to people watch. With the so much fun. You can make different background stories for different people. Like the couple that is sitting two tables down from me. They are really in an argument about something. But I really can't here it. So I can make up that he cheated on her and now she is pissed off. Or something like she doesn't want to go to his parents this weekend. It is what ever you want it to be. 
And it is so peace. You can eat at your own speed. And enjoy your food and everything around. 
Accept the challenge of eating by yourself. You will enjoy it.

Starting off on a Bad note.

WARNING:



So I am starting this blog off with a bad note... I just got my first ever driving ticket. I know it doesn't sound that bad but I used to be able to tell people I have never gotten a ticket before in my life. But now I can't do that any more. And I believe I know why I was given that ticket. No it wasn't because I ran that stop sign. It was because last week I had to do a background check and it came up clean. In fact it came up too clean. How do I know?
