Now whenever I have a free minute, I think, "do I want to do X or paint?" and the answer is almost always paint. One obsession for another, I guess! Good luck with giving up video gaming!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-32498200391463616452012-01-21T10:20:37.559-07:002012-01-21T10:20:37.559-07:00Ya feeling the same way ... time to return to the ...Ya feeling the same way ... time to return to the point of gaming and that is to have fun with it ... not to endlessly cling to what "used" to be fun.The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-9649634597894362402012-01-21T00:51:17.618-07:002012-01-21T00:51:17.618-07:00I have been re-examining my own habits and my gami...I have been re-examining my own habits and my gaming possessions as well. I am going to sell a great many things this year and never re-acquire them. Extra/unpainted armies are going. Board/Card games as yet un-played are going. Board games that I do not like, going. I am tired of holding out on the idea that I might have or maybe once had a good time with a game. I have plenty that I need to play more or that are great and have been played once. I am going to focus on them. I'll most likely sell those that I have no more use for (Battlelore and Memoir among them.) My life and the lives of those around me have changed. Pursuing things just for the fact of doing it, no longer holds interest. I really desire to do only what is present right now. Maybe it's the new year talking, but I have some things to accomplish this year.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471498131318014909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-18123242495155060962012-01-17T15:50:01.070-07:002012-01-17T15:50:01.070-07:00Thanks, stopped by your blog indeed it looks like ...Thanks, stopped by your blog indeed it looks like we have quite a bit in common so welcome and happy blogging to ya as well as happy returns in 2012!The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.com
