Yea, this thread definitely wasn't meant to turn into something too serious, it was more about me throwing my curiousity out there to see what responses I got on the matter. I do appreciate everyone trying to help me justify my hobbies though, I can always use more excuses to throw at my girlfriend when I'm backed into a corner! haha
The format of my original post was meant to be a little more on the satirical side though, definitely not meant to be taken as some gloom and doom emo poem or whatever they call their written tears.
My personal justifications:
-I have a serious girlfriend of over a year and a half (the fact that she games with me is besides the point).
-I do work Mon-Fri like most people.
-I do go out with friends to partake in various activities (dinner, movies, bars, the odd club, concerts and so on), although I don't play any sports at all anymore.
-I read a lot (novels, graphic novels, comics, whatever).
-I was pretty obsessed with learning everything I could about the current line up of cars from all companies as I was on a mission to buy myself a fast sports car that also could handle well in the snow, as I don't have the room to own two vehicles for different seasons of the year. I ended up buying the Mitsubishi Evolution GSR.
-I play guitar, drums, bass and have a recording studio in my basement. I haven't touched that stuff in months though.
I just wonder now and then though...is there something more that I'm missing? Something essential that I lack? For 95% of my waking time, I am perfectly content with how I do things, but then there's that 5%, that little 5% that nags at me and makes me think "I shouldn't be doing this, I should be doing......*BLANK*". I can never figure out what that blank is though. Do any of you find that you have that same 5%? Perhaps a higher or lower %, but the idea in general?
