Video Games

I like video games. I don't think I have met a teenage guy who doesn't. But how much should we like video games?


It's not bad top play video games, it's not bad to like video games; however, it IS bad to play video games to the exclusion of all else. Last year, I had the problem that one of my games was taking over my life; I thought about during school, when I went to bed, sometimes even during devotions. This year, when I play video games, I have to limit myself. I have to make sure first, that all my school is done, second, that most if not all of my chores are done, third, that I am actually getting physical exercise during the week. I also have to make sure that I am doing things with other people; I don't want to become a recluse, after all.


What I'm trying to say is, like most forms of entertainment, video games in themselves are not bad (most of them); what IS bad is idolization. If and when we play video games, we should use moderation.

Extraordinary terminology

Large terms are humorous. They can be incredibly problematical to comprehend occasionally but typically they merely cause you to seem intelligent. I prefer appearing brainy rather than unintelligent, consequently I am employing gargantuan expressions in the hope that I might perhaps give the impression of being clever. In any case, that is what this particular post is about since I could not think of anything else. In any case, despite my suspected inebriation, I hope you take pleasure in my ludicrous vocabulary and disgraceful (not to mention pitiful) topic.

Road Trip

Me and my family recently went on a road trip to Nebraska. (The following takes place between Saint Louis and Nebraska) We were getting along fine until about 2 hours into the trip, when my sisters got bored. About an hour after that, me and my brother got bored. It all went downhill from there. From that point on, the trip was mainly fighting or complaining.


Well, we finally made it there, visited the relatives, and had a relatively good time. We played pool, card games, and board games with our cousins. Everything was fine.


Then it was time to head back.


On this trip, I realized that our family desn't do well when put together in a tight place for 14 hours. Now, this might be perfectly normal, but it doesn't seem right; so I tried to figure out why. I think that if we as a family spent more time together (watching TV doesn't count), that we would get along a lot better.
