Bored with Life

I need to find a new hobby. Or something to occupy my time. Or hell, I'd settle for something that I used to do to spark my interest again.

Seems I'm bored with everything. I own five games for the PS3, bored with all of them, and each is a different genre of game. I own more then a dozen (nearer to two) for the PS2, and all of them bore me. Again, they come from several genres of play.

I don't even go into world of warcraft, except to run the endgame raids, and even that is only because bobbi pokes me to do it, and I know she wants me in them.

Seems that nothing interests me anymore, there's nothing new, nothing fascinating, everything is just a day in, day out, routine. I read a book, play a game, watch tv, and all of it pales in comparison to the joy I used to get from it.

I remember when I was younger (and not even all that long ago, persay), I could put in a new game, a game I liked, and play it, nonstop, until it was beat, barely putting it down for any kind of breather. Not losing interest, not being distracted. That is how I played Devil May Cry 3, and then Devil May Cry 2 when someone bought it for me. It was how I played so many games that I used to own.

I don't even know when the world lost the lavish it once held. Not entirely sure when I went from someone who enjoys all of these little things, to someone who just zombie shuffles through it all. I need new hobbies, or I need to spark life into the old ones. I don't even want to roleplay anymore, despite the fact I have two GMs, and a DM, wanting me in on one game or another.

I think I need to find something new, something that hasn't been done before, something I've never tried. One of those things that can more then draw my attention for the moment, and catch onto something that draws me in like an addiction. I remember when video games were like that. An RPG that could draw me into the storyline and gameplay and never be monotonous. I mean hell, it was even less then a year ago that I played Breath of Fire II again, from beginning to end. I miss those games.

Graphics are everything nowadays. Which just isn't right. Doesn't stimulate the mind anymore. Games are just something pretty to look at, no hooks, no story, no draw. Its all been done before. All been rinsed, washed, and repeated over and over again until madness seems to take its toll.

World of Warcraft is the same game, over and over again, different race, different class, different faction. Its still the same game. "Go here, kill this. Go here, collect this." All that changes is the where, and the how. Even the how doesn't really change. Every class is the same thing, when it comes down to the base of it, 1...2, 3, 2, 3, 5, 4, 5, 3, 6...And whatever else works. Nothing special, nothing unique. I've played one of every kind, dps, tank, healer. Its all the same.

Its a good game, don't get me wrong, but there is only so much I can do before it drives me to boredom. I've been trying to get into the game, and its a rather interesting trap too. My original server/guild probably think I'm off on my new server/guild running endgame content, and my new server/guild probably think I'm off playing on my original server/guild. In actuality, I'm doing neither. I was in friday for Karazhan, skipped saturday sunday in the game entirely. Was in monday for mag/gruul's, skipped tuesday and wednesday entirely. I'll probably be in tomorrow for mag/gruul's, and then friday for karazhan, and then skip out the weekend again.

Who knows.

What I do know, is I am bored, I'm tired, and I have nothing to do, or occupy my time with. I imagine I'll find something to do though. I mean hell, I have seven books waiting for pick up at the post office tomorrow, and work, as per usual.

So for those who have hobbies you enjoy, don't let them get old, because once they do, its hard to spark things up again.

Peace out,

The Zodiak.
