C.O.D infects my life once again (in a good way)


Yes,
I am back on the video games, back and ready to rage Call Of Duty: Black Op's.
Back home it was the only game my friends and I played in general, and occasionally Fifa Soccer. It became a problem when on some days we wouldn't even bother to meet up, and we would just game together online. This is where I begin to sound like a huge nerd, and will continue along the same route for the rest of my post. At college thus far I have managed to stay off the video games as much as I can. It becomes a way of life, and I do not want to return to the lazy lifestyle of eating chips and playing video games ALL DAY. However, I had to try the new Call Of Duty. I shouldn't have, now i play all the time. Before this I was sitting in front of two monitors, one with a Playstation 3 and the other with an XBOX 360. Both gaming consoles were running the new Call of Duty, and had been for hours. I need to withdraw from my video game addiction immediately before I am back on my daily dose once again. I wouldn't want to end up looking like this dude:

Stomping through the Mudd to EOTO.

Welcome back!!
I return to your mobile or concrete internet device with exciting media reports from this past weekend. I went into friday night suffering from the common college student syndrome; BAHS (Broke As Hell Syndrome). EOTO was performing at Higher Ground that night (local music venue), and I was stuck without a ticket. The bass and percussion combo that this group offers is just outstanding.

They are two members of a popular jam/blue grassish band called The String Cheese Incident.
Anyways as I was settling for a mild friday night, my buddy Alex invited me down to his place in the North End to kick it. I got there and was immediately asked if I would be attending EOTO, and I responded I have no money. Alex responded with "thats no reason to miss EOTO, I'll buy you a ticket". I was beyond giddy at this point, and I paced in his kitchen wondering where to go from there. I returned home and put on all my concert gear and got my light gloves; in order to give light shows all throughout the night...

The night was an outrageous success to say the very least. I cant thank my friend Alex enough, he turned my night from jam-less to jam-full in a matter of seconds.
EOTO put on an outstanding performance, and I was so drained from the show that there was no chance of me going to the after-party. So I fell asleep right when I hit the bed, and woke up happy and content.
