Remember to play

I spent the evening engaging in mindless video game violence tonight, and I really enjoyed it. It seems like every time I play video games (not counting time wasters on my phone), I stop and think, "Wow, this really is fun and it helps me blow off some steam." This revelation comes every few months, because I seem to forget to play.

I've noticed that about myself lately. I've been way too focused on work, both day job and side business. I woke up this morning and I felt like I just didn't want to do anything at all, like nothing I normally do interested me. It's like I forget to do stuff that doesn't require any specific outcome beyond having a good time.

So, mental note, don't let myself get dull and too serious.
