Amidst the leaves, he saw a faint glimmer. He knelt in the shadow of the Imperial palms, waved the leaves away and reached for what he thought he had seen. Upon reaching it, the glimmer slithered away. The man jumped to his feet, his right hand reaching for his holster while taking a few steps back. Remembering that he was unarmed, he simply decided to be more conscious, after all, not everything that glimmer is gold.
Once again, a short paragraph, an attempt at writing. You may notice that the blog still looks like, well, a ready made blog. Truth be told, I now find myself unemployed. After taking a week off of, well, everything, I will begin hunting for a job and I do hope to be successful relatively rapidly. But on to less dramatic events.
I'm typing this as I watch the Golden Globes for the first time in my life. I do not really care, but Paul 'That guy from Rock Band' McCartney did have a good line. Ricky Gervais is, as always, extremely funny.
I know that a big part of this blog was supposed to be about games, which I always try to include in a subtle way, but life does catch up to you. Back to the Globes and probably the Darkside Chronicles after this.
Games in progress: Too many to list, but at the top of this list: Bayonetta. Speaking of Bayonetta, my girlfriend has glasses just like her. Kinky! ;)

Tick tack - Why am I a lazy schmo?
How am I supposed to begin such an entry? With my traditional Ahoy-hoy? Or go media res, smack dab in the middle of story...
Move!, yelled the angry man as he tried to swerve his cart out of the way of the giant mammoth taking most of the Southern Alley of Dalaran. Right as Harold was about to hit the mammoth, he found himself driving past a much smaller gnome. Where had the humongous creature gone?
Yeah, I like World of Warcraft. As a matter of fact, I love it. However, if I am honest, it has sort of ruined my life in a way. You see, if it wasn't for this game, my Master's Degree would most likely have paved the way to either another Master's or a PhD. With that being said, it is also one of the main reason why I would consider myself lazy. I knew I'd be blogging (apparently this is a verb, thank you English language and your fantastical ability to turn most nouns into verbs) about this fact; and I also thought about deleting the whole blog, because honestly, who has the time?
This thought process led me to wonder the following: Am I lazy as a result of playing World of Warcraft or am I lazy in order to be able to play World of Warcraft? (World of Warcraft could be replaced by any videogame in the preceding sentence). As you may have surmised from the title of this blog and what you've just read, I love videogames. I play them whenever I have some free time. I'll go in more depths on that subject next time though.
Rambling mode off. Have a great day!
P.S.: The answer to the title's question is: I am lazy because it is easy. That's why I'm trying to turn my life around; it's time to do something hard for a change.

2010 - So what's next?
There once was a boy and his blob. As is probably the case with many people, a few years from turning thirty, his life was not exactly where he wanted it to be. Now, mind you, he had a wonderful little girl whom he absolutely adored, but parts of his life had been neglected. The Dad, no longer a boy, decided to start a Blog (although the blob parts remain, whever he can get his hands on jellybeans).
Ahoy-hoy, my name is Jeff and I will be sharing part of my life on this here blogamagig. I am not on Facebook, I rarely read blogs, I do not Tweet and although, dear _____ (seeing as I most likely have 0 reader), I have never truly entertained the idea of writing a blog, here I am. Why? To get me writing again, plain and simple. I've been away from school for far too long and I need to get my writing muscles back in shape, especially since I aim to finish my Master's degree in the very near future.
So here it is, a new year, a new resolution and new objectives (a calendar full to be exact...well, it's not full as we speak, but by the end of the year, it will be). Hope this will not be all in vain, I'll also try to improve the look of the place. Next time, what makes me tick.
