Hi. My name is Bill and I have the lamest addiction ever.



It’s not a cool addiction like drugs or sex. It’s not sad or relatable like food or porn. It’ not even sad-but-interesting like the stuff you see on that “My Strange Addiction” show –

Just a man having sex with a car. Nothing weird about that. Wait… that’s totally weird.

My addiction is online video games.



Not even ones that other people get addicted to like World of Warcraft. I’m addicted to playing those stupid in-browser flash games on sites like kongregate and armor games. Simple little shooter and tower defense games that most people play for five minutes but I end up playing for hours.



When I made that one of my resolutions I knew I was spending a little too much of my free time dicking around on these sites but I guess I never thought I’d have any trouble quitting. Since January I’ve had some easy success and some stumbles with all my resolutions but this is the only one where I flat out have not made any progress at all.

Shit. Let’s see if I can do a week with no flash games and we’ll go from there. I went a week without biting my fingernails, let’s see if I can go a week without playing Gemcraft as well. Then I can get back to using the internet for it’s intended purpose. Pornography and social networking.



…or I could write and spend time with my family I guess.
