combat evolved
Is it wrong to sit in front of my television for endless hours and play halo? Is it wrong to do anything as mind-numbing and time-wasting as playing a video game for an extended period of time? I'm conflicted.
Most days, when I don't have any obligations like work or school, I find myself wandering around my house trying to find something to do. Often times I sit at my computer and rotate between livejournal, facebook, and myspace...finding myself watching videos on youtube, starting on something that I may have actually sought out out of interest and than, by clicking on the related videos, ending up somewhere completely unrelated. I also spend a lot of time playing halo. I find myself in a trance-like zombie state and forgetting that I am a human being.
I do try to find constructive things to do, I've been spending a lot of time on yard-work lately for no specific reason other than that it is nice out and I shouldn't sit inside all day doing nothing.
Tonight, after work, I didn't know what to do with myself so I set out in my car and drove around the beach area and back to my house. I often do this when I get so overwhelmed with boredom at my house, but it never turns out to be satisfying.
Perhaps if my life weren't so absolutely devoid of direction or meaning I wouldn't spend so much time doing almost absolutely nothing, but, I don't really have any hobbies anymore, so...I don't exactly know how I could be spending my time more productively.
