I was talking with Ev about how I led my lifestyle in college and all of a sudden the conversation reveals that with all the substance experimentation I did in college, video games have completely replaced this recently. I still have a habit of having a social drink when I’m hanging out with people (especially since one of my jobs is in a bar), but I find that I don’t have time or interest in tripping as much as I used to.
And since we’re on the subject of how things have changed, that applies to sleep, too. I used to love sleep. I feel it gets in the way now. I hate sleep now because my sleep cycle gets thrown off after getting back from the bar at 4:00 AM – at the earliest – every Saturday.
But video games? Much more efficient escapism. By far.
it’s convenient that i’ve found video games and drugs don’t go well together. one tends to kill the other.
