447 Days and Counting..........

Ok, I know I don't have a lot of people that read this blog. Oh well, I'm going to continue with it anyway just to put my thoughts onto a page that is something I can control. I don't like the colors of the page yet and I'm still working out all the links and crap. I'll get there, its just going to take time and focus from well....me.

I think I'm reaching a point of burnout of sorts with my pathetic life. I have played my 360 447 days in a row, that means that when Neleh was born, I still managed to log in to my 360 that day to save my days in a row streak. That means that over 15 months I have sat down and fired up my 360 at some point in time. Sad yes, I know.

The worse thing is this :
Current achievement streak: 90 days(Started on 01/21/2009)

That means that over the last 90 days I have played a game long enough to unlock an achievement in what ever it is. I have played some gems and some real garbage, I'm looking at YOU Hanna Montana. Yet, I keep going. Last night something struck a cord with me though. Becky looked at me and said, "You look tired, like REALLY tired". For the first time I think, I agreed with her in my state of consciousness. I work fairly long hours and have to deal with a lot of paperwork and people on a daily basis. This means I have to be up and at work when most people are just waking up. I also am still at work when people are normally done with their work day. Then I get home, have kids, dogs, Becky and other chores to deal with. Then I get time to play something.

So when do I sleep......normally I go to bed around 11pm CST and get up at 5am CST. But, between dogs, kids, Becky, etc I maybe actually sleep 4 hours tops a night. This includes Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (Mondays are my day off) so really I go all day everyday from dawn until way past dusk. So what am I rambling on about.....frankly...I'm tired. No...gaming is still my favorite pastime, but I'm really tired.

I read about Stallion and him finishing 28 games in 28 days or whatever it was, I can't imagine doing that as with just my routine I'm running out of energy. I'm always tired and its starting to effect everything I do. I over schedule myself, I've been forgetting almost everything and I am over stressing during work.

Maybe I just need a break , I don't know. Maybe I see this as more of a journal entry today, even though I hate writing journals. I just need to get this out there to maybe tell myself that I need sleep. I know, your thinking OH boo fucking hoo. That my problems aren't that bad and they could be worse. You know what, your right. They could be worse....much much worse, but they aren't. To be honest I have it pretty good, I guess I'm just tired.
