A duck walks into a bar

So Andrew proposed a good topic in the form of semi-vices. That's an interesting concept. How do I know if something is a semi-vice? Is it something that takes up time I could be spending doing something good? If that's the case, I have a million of them. Let's look at my weekend to see if we can find any shall we?

Friday: I go to Pool City after eating dinner, don't ask why, and find this WICKED SWEET arcade game. It's called Arcade Legends. It's an arcade game like actual unit, and it has roughly 40 classic games on it, including Street Fighter 2. I love that game. I stay an extra hour longer to play the game. I swear I'm going to drop the $2,699.99 to by that sucker.

Saturday: I spend the day watching a college basketball game, a HORRIBLE NBA game, the first NFL playoff game, and the second NFL playoff game.

Sunday: After going to church I watch a playoff game from 1-4. Oh yeah, I watched a 2nd one from 4:30-7:30. Then I played Xbox all night with my brother until I went to bed. Seriously how sweet is Halo 2?

So one can assume a few vices of mine from this list:

1.) Sports - seriously sports probably consume roughly 80% of my life, and that's a conservative estimation, outside of work. I go to church and help out with the youth group, other than that I watch, read, and think about sports.

2.) Video games - show me a guy who doesn't play of lot of video games and I'll show you a gay man ... or a man who doesn't have semi-vices like myself. Name the game and the system and I'll play it.

3.) U2 - I spend a lot of time wishing U2 would release new CDs and tour dates. Currently these are happening so it's a semi-vice again ... www.u2.com oooooooh second plug.

Well that's all I really have for now. The Steeler game is this Saturday and I'm going to hit publish post and then think about how nervous I will be all week. I really hope they can make this run. Otherwise I will enter a month-long depression and probably quit posting.
