To Be Young (Is to be Sad, Is to Be High)
You know what it means to be a man? It means you make tough decisions. It means you face harsh realities. It means you admit to yourself when a relationship just isn't working out.
I bought my Xbox the day it came out. 300 ducats. I bought a fighting game even though I don't like fighting games, but that was all they had at Best Buy. Over the next few months I spent countless hours staying up all night with my Xbox. While the rest of the world slept, I was up solving Halo with the help of several fistfuls of microwave burritos and gallons of Diet Mountain Dew.
Those days are over. It's time I realized that spending hours playing games on the Xbox is a colossal waste of time, which is why I've decided to eBay her. To the lucky guy who ends up winning the auction: you treat her right, and you treat her kind.
One last thing -- I'll be updating every day this week. Each post will be more uninspired than the last. You'll be able to feel the grudging sense of obligation.
P.S. Does anyone know when exactly the PS3 is coming out?
P.P.S. I fucking hate Swedish people.
