Looking to the future

Re: Looking to the future

12 and Phobia, I'm right in line with both of you.

I'm 31, and got out of the military over a year ago. Since then, I've been bartending, and job hunting. I just started a new job that I hope turns into a career, but over the last six months, my wife and I have had a pretty tough time. She moved to almost 10 years ago to act, and did so for a long time. Eventually, that wasn't paying the bills anymore, so she put that aside and got a full time office job at a major studio. We were hoping that I would be able to get a job that would cover the bills so that she could quit, and go back to acting, but it's been tough to find good employment. Since my bartending gig was primarily at night, and on weekends, I spent most of the week at home during the day. I'd spend a few hours scouring job boards, and doing some housework, but the rest of the time, I was on my Playstation. She was getting pretty upset with that (rightfully so, IMO), but I felt that there wasn't anything I could do.

Hopefully, this new job works out.

Just remember not to let the console control you. There are plenty of us here that are flat out addicted to gaming. Most don't like to view it like that, "I just like to game, its my hobby". Yet many other people don't do their hobby 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plenty of gamers literally spend time like that on their consoles. It is not healthy in any way.

Just remember to take care of your responsibilities first THEN whatever time is free after words can be used for gaming and you will have no problem.

Last thing a women wants is some guy sitting on his *** all day playing video games. Sure I would LOVE to do that :wink:, but I also like booty to much to screw that up lol. I also take pride in maintaining the life I wanted while growing up. Sure it is completely what I dreamed, but I work hard every day trying to make it better every day.
