  • Sounds to me like you were a workoholic. My brother-in-law has parents like that. I go to my sisters for the holidays, and there's these two. We're all sitting around the couch. We're all relaxing. We're all talking, and enjoying family time. Then these two are just nervously pacing around the room "ah, let me take that can, are ya done with it? I'll recycle it! Can I take that plate? I'll put it in the dishwasher. Do you want anything while I'm up? I could grab you some cheese, maybe some crackers? I saw fruit. How about a jalepeno popper? I could make some garlic bread. It'd only take a few minutes. Here, let me dust these drapes. Have you had enough cookies?"

    Finally one day I just snapped. "LENNY! SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND ENJOY FAMILY TIME! MERRY CHRISTMAS, OK??? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING!"

    Nice people. Very honest hard working upstanding people. But sometimes you feel like people working around you while you're relaxing is too much. It feels wrong.

    That kind of sounds like where you are. You spent so much time GO GO GO GO that now you feel uneeded and without purpose.

    My advice is, think back to your busy time. I'm sure while you were working you said "man, it would be great if I had time for this hobby....I'd love to get into this hobby, but now everything is so busy!"

    Well. Now is that time. Enjoy your hobby. And for gods sakes man! Sit down and enjoy christmas by the fireplace with your family!

  • I remember when I'd play goldeneye on N64.

    Granted the game hasn't aged well, but for the time, it was the best game ever.

    So much so that now, whenI see a new 007 game announced, I get a momentary feeling of "OH SHIT!" until I remember it's not going to be as fun as being 14, staying up all night in the summer, eating lays potato chips, drinking coke, dragging your balls across the losers face and laughing at him as everybody else holds him down, watching WWF Raw live, and then WCW Nitro on VHS recorded hours before, playing the improv one word game that all stoners play instinctively, recording vhs game boy camera movies. The summer of 1997 and 1998 was magical.

    For a brief moment, I get nostolgia anytime I see a new 007 game. Then I instantly remember it'll never live up to those days of my youth, now in my 40s.

    Hey. Anyone else have grey hair and back pain?
