Is Winter ever going to end?

It was nice out for a couple of days here in mid Michigan, and I got out and did a little hauling of some scrap metal for a friend that does not have a truck. It was so nice to get out of the house and do something different. Now I am here a few days later and sick, my head is stuffed up and my throat is sore. And it’s raining and snowing outside, just lovely. If I did not own my gaming systems and games I don’t know what I’d do, at least I can play some games while I sit in the house and try to stay warm. But even games get old after a while and this winter has been a long one for me. I know some of you might be reading this and be saying or thinking “Get a frickin job loser!” but it’s just not that easy. I am disabled and on disability and there are not a lot of jobs that I could do in my current condition. I wont go into it right now, but I am limited in what I can comfortably do. So I spend my days and nights trying to figure out a new career choice for myself. I do want to get back into “Web Design” I have some schooling in it, but I really need some more classes and that’s another story. So I play games, and think about maybe learning to get into game design. The thing is I need to do something where I don’t have to stand or sit too long in one spot or lift heavy objects because of my back. But then I have other issues besides my back. Anyway I am really wanting to do something on the computer because I like it and I have an inclination for it. But I either must get some money or a grant to go back to school, or try to teach myself what I need to know and hope I can make a career out of that. Oh I am just so tired of thinking and trying to come up with a way to do what I need to do and winter just drags on and on and the more I think the more I get confused and the more I think, oh god just stop I am going crazy! This winter is really taking it’s toll on me and I need a change of pace. Hopefully when spring comes I can get out of the house and do some walking/hiking to get back into shape a little and let the open air and woods clear my mind, and help me formulate a plan on my next move on the path of life. Wow that feels good to just write down all that, I am learning why some people have blogs. This is kind of therapeutic to just put it all down for me and anyone else to see. I just might get something out of this long cold winter and all the thinking and figuring about what I should do next with my life. So I guess I feel good at the moment, but I still cant wait until winter is over and spring comes! Well I think I am going to go make me some dinner and then maybe play me a little “Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles” on my NDS, or maybe “Orcs & Elves” or maybe “God of War: Chains of Olympus” or “Jeanne D’Arc” on my PSP or “God of War” on the PS2 or maybe just go frickin crazy!!! Oh come on Spring!

Ah…who am I kidding?

I have figured out that I am going to keep all of my blogs. I like my other blogs of the “blogger” type and I like this one also. So I will continue to use them all, which might get a little confusing as it has been in the past because I might post something in one and then mention it again and it wont be the same blog. Yes it can get confusing, but I will keep it together. This blog is about everything and anything that I might come up with and so is this blog: wwwgnome’s blog. And this blog is mainly about my gaming obsession: wwwgnome’s handheld gaming world. Or rather mostly about Handheld gaming, if you want to check out either one click the links.

To many blogs

I just got done trying to update and post to a Google, blogger blog that I have and for some reason I can’t post to it. I have had this problem a couple times and when I clicked on help I got a link to go to for help and the link would not work. So I have decided to quit trying to keep up with all these blogs and just keep this one, wwwgnome is the name that I have had and used for years and I just seem to like WordPress’s layout and site a little better than blogger. So all my posts will go to this blog and maybe in the future I will start another one when I can figure out a “theme” for one, something like a blog about “Handheld Gaming” or “Role Playing Games” or whatever. Anyway this blog will be just about me and my “uncenterd” life of no particular direction.
