Personally I want to die peacfully in my sleep, aged 110, having lived a healthy life, and either owning or owing a lot of money :) (And guitars)

Quote from: someone I can't remember who
No matter what the age one should always have more guitars than years

But to take up MDV's point, yes games will just suck a hole right out of your life, but they are fun too.

I don't have any useful suggestions, but I know what you mean about being bored.  I've been going through a phase where I can't be bothered to do anything at weekends.  I do things I have to do - get the shopping, run the washing machine, but other than that I'm just reading, watching DVDs or sitting right here... nothing useful.  They're basically just two days of not having to go to work.

The fact it's summer doesn't help - I view it as three months to be survived before the weather gets more civilised, the days get shorter and people stop hanging around outside being drunk and/or annoyingly cheerful.

Anyway, I have to start training for another 10k this week - if I can be bothered  :roll: :wink: - so maybe that'll snap me out of it.  Having a target/deadline helps.


(I'm a miserable $%&#er, aren't I?  :lol: )

Relearn a song in a different position or reharmonize it into a different key signature.

i think i'd rather be too cold than too hot, but obviously i'd prefer to be just right :D

Me too. At least you can regulate your heat a little better if it's cold - there's no limit to the number of layers you can put on!

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN!

What he says is true, but you shouldnt do it!

All that will happen is you'll look back on the 200 hours you spent playing it, broken only by sleep, and think "How good would I be now if I spent that time on guitar?".

at least the single player games I play tend to last around 8 or 10 hours, although Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead did suck a lot of hours out of my life over the past few weeks

at the moment I'm working my way through Bioshock, by which I mean I played it once and keep getting distracted by guitar related stuff
