Yesterday I got a Nintendo Wii (thank you Moppy) and spent a good chunk of the day playing Wii Sports because that comes free with the system and I didn't buy a game for it. It's also a lot of fun.
The Wii controllers are motion sensitive and so the majority of your interaction with it involves movement. As a result, I am very sore today from swinging at baseballs and playing tennis and such. This is a good thing. I'm not a particularly active person, being a sitting reading type person, and this time motivates me to get up and move around some. So, again, this is a good thing.
Don't get me wrong. I don't expect to post in six months going: 'Hi there. I was an overweight bum until I got the Nintendo Wii. Now, I have six pack abs, my hair's grown back and supermodels beg to go to bed with me.' I know that ain't happening. Unfortunately. At the same time, if I can drop a couple of pounds and be a little less lazy while enjoying myself, that'll be a good thing.
I also got books yesterday so I'm reading between games. The book I'm reading now (well, not right this second, I'm not so clever that I can type and read at the same time. Yet) is about John Belushi, a biography composed of pieces of interviews from those in his family, his friends, people he worked with, etc. It's a very interesting way to tell this story because the points of view vary depending on the person.
It's March 5th 2007 and John died 25 years ago today. Personally, I think he's funny. If he were still alive he'd probably still be funny. I lot of people that are funny would be funnier if he were still alive. But he's not because he couldn't stop meddling with drugs. As funny as I find him, that annoys me. Dumbass.
At the same time, I look at my lazy self, the beer I'll drink once I'm done with this and wonder if, in some small way, I'm doing the same thing, if we're all doing the same thing and we're trying not to think about it. In a way, he was just a little quicker about it.

The heck with this, I'm going to play more Wii before I depress myself.
