The Bill Gates Clinic

So....welcome to my latest addiction. Those of you that know me, know that I have an addictive personality. If something grabs my attention then look out. Luckily for me, I have never had the desire to use narcotics. That would not go well for anyone. Same with drinking. While I like an occasional beer, it just never really took hold with me.

My friends, I am here to tell you, that is not the case with Call of Duty. I bought myself.....I mean I bought the GIRLS an Xbox for Christmas. I knew going into this that I was only going to be needing one game. I bought a $400 game console for Call of Duty.

So far I am being good and I don’t play when the family is up but when I get home at 11pm, it’s on. The game itself has a game that you can play, but nobody gets it for that. You get it for the online play against other people. Now, to be fair, I suck. I end up with 10 kills and get killed 20 times, but it doesn’t matter. It’s just awesome.

My addiction before this, and still to a point, was Facebook. I am seriously on there all the time. A buddy of mine refers to it as “Jimbook” because no matter when he checks in, there is something from me on there. I dropped off the Facebook radar for a bit and he said “I know there is some heavy CoD action going on over there.”

He’s right. It’s bad....at least for now. I figure Betty Ford has a clinic so why shouldn’t Bill Gates. He could help people hopelessly addicted to his Xbox.

Ugghhh....just what I need while I am trying to “simplify” my life.
