Some might wonder where I’ve vanished off to this past week. What with the first ten days of baseball at hand and tons of teachers taking off early before the start of Spring Break, it’d be easy to write it off as working and watching the Mariners get snowed out three day straight in Cleveland (seriously, who in the hell made the baseball schedule this year? It’s absolutely wretched league wide…)

But no, none of the reasons you can come up with can accurately account for my absence from the known universe. That, my friends, can be blamed on none other than Clayster. A few days ago, he went out and purchased Guitar Hero II for the Xbox360 and saying I’m hooked would be putting it politely.

I’ve missed at least ten consecutive meals because of this game. I see the “chords” to Sweet Child O’ Mine in my sleep. I think I’ve developed arthritis in my fingers in mere days. And yet it’s taking everything in me not to stop typing this post and run over to play Free Bird.

It’s been a good experience for me beyond a pure video gaming nerd aspect though. I’ve discovered some new songs that I otherwise would have never listened to since I’m not that into any hardcore metal or rock. Hell, they’ve got Trogdor on there! Ok, fine, I admit I’m just looking for any angle that’ll give me another excuse to go rock out to some more Foo Fighters.

Like I said earlier, Spring Break starts tomorrow. And now that I think about it, that means I have no work for the next seven days. You know, the prospects on my skin absorbing any direct sunlight soon doesn’t look too great.
