Hey first thing is first,
go check out my friends webpages on the right. They are pretty good and are interesting people to peek into.

Okay so I play to much video games.
World of Warcraft is my game of choice at the moment, and it is taking to much of my time.
Oh Ryan it's really good you should get it. It's advaible for the MAC so you have no excuses.
The whole thing is kinda strange though. It's just me moving my little "avatar" around the "world" killing "mobs" in order to gain items that will allow me to kill the "mobs" more efficiently and easily. Then I go up a lvl and the difficulty lvl rises again. At first glance you wonder why people play video games in the first place. Look at it this way, they did an experiment where they attached wires to a rats brain in the pleasure centers. Now the rat had the option of pressing 2 buttons, one button controlled the wires and the other button gave him food. In every case, the rat died of starvation. (did a search for it.. Found this kinda unexpectedly) Anyway that is the analogy. Video games give you dozen of small accomplishments for very little in time investment. Press button, something explodes, endorfins are released.

But most of all, I'm really bored and it fills the time.
