Life can be full of fun and games!

My love for video games has begun to wain considerably over the years. I don't have the time or the energy to learn how to play new games or gaming systems. I also am not in the video game loop anymore. I am not sure which games are cool.

Now, if I had written this 10 years ago, my tune would have been extremely different.


Sort of like 16-year-old North Carolina native Blake Peebles who has decided to drop out of high school and begin his career as a professional Guitar Hero player. This gig, pun intended, pays a grand total of $8000 a year.


In a story on Yahoo.com that profiled Mr. Peebles, it seems that he experienced "victories in Guitar Hero tournaments, which include gift certificates, gaming equipment, and chicken sandwiches."

Sounds like a plan to me. I think I will turn in my resignation papers tomorrow and start my new life as a professional Madden player.
