Road to Somewhere

I rented a new game for my gamecube last week. Its not the regular sports or shoot 'em up game. Its called Harvset Moon: A Wonderful Life. It basically lets you run a little farm for thirty years and try to make money and a happy family. I didn't think it could be that exciting, and I was right. Its not, but I still can't stop playing it. I just gotta plant enough crops to get a new cow. That was my goal for Saturday. Lofty, I know. I am supposed to be courting some of the ladies in town so that I can take a wife and start breeding little brats to help out around the farm, but I have been a little busy with the chickens and turnips. I guess I needed the break from murdering those prostitutes in Grand Theft Auto. You may be reading this thinking of how pitiful it is that a 25 year old still plays his nintendo, if you are indeed still reading at all, but please allow me this vice that has been mine since Duck Hunt and Tetris.

In other news, it is Thanksgiving this Thursday, for those of you living under a rock. This year I find myself dreading the holidays. It kinda makes me sad to not be filled with joy and the thoughts of food, family, and laughter. Life brings constant change though, and maybe one year soon Christmas will again be a happy and joyous season for me and mine. If not though, I will still cherish those years when it was a season filled with excitement and wonder. It truly is a season for the children and the children within us. Damn these adult dramas that keep us from being childish and innocent. This is exactly why I won't give up my nintendo.
