A couple of weeks ago, I made a commitment to myself to quit playing World of Warcraft. This in and of itself was probably one of the best changes I could have made in my life, but it is not without its side-effects. I used to spend hours and hours in a row sitting at my computer, and now I have no idea what to do with those hours. I work a fairly long 5 days a week, but it is the evenings I am having trouble filling. I need a hobby of some kind (besides watching Dodger games) to fill my time.
I try to think of what I did before I started playing. I started after I graduated college, and well... lets just say there is no way I could recreate my lifestyle from SLO while living at my parents house in Westlake.
I have started to work out again as a start, and hopefully I can hold this job down for a long enough period to where I feel comfortable moving out and not saving my money. I guess the Jewish traits are overwhelming all my other ones, keeping me at home with a fast-growing bank account. Eventually, however, I will lose my sanity. Before, I had Warcraft completely masking my reality.... now that the blinders are off, my mental health / happiness with my life has diminished considerably. Regardless of financial reasons, I should move out and regain the lifestyle I had in college.
