  Here’s a quote I read. “Some never participate. Life happens to them. They get by on little more than dumb persistence and resist with anger or violence all things that might lift them out of resentment-filed illusions of security.”

  I gave it some thought and I came to the conclusion that you have to define life before you can live it. Does anyone have an earth-spanning definition for life?  Personally when I was thinking about this this morning, I called it satisfaction. Life is being satisfied in what your are doing at the time without being bitter. If planning is your thing, and it makes you happy, then you’re living life in your own way. Overall, I figured it was best to probably ensure that everything I was doing I found fun. Fun is satisfaction to me. A few things that I labeled “dumb persistence” were work and boring subjects in schools.

  I’d say that I am not living life as per my definition of life which sucks. Lesser people would tailor their definition of life to coincide with how they are currently living. Instead, I think its better to have a goal of living life that is Xanadu and eventually reaching it, sooner rather than later.   For some people, having that crutch in life is normal, and they need it. Its not living life by my standards, but for them it suffices. It all comes back to how you define life. There’s the easy way and the hard way.  How do I plan on reaching my Utopian goal? By removing the “resentment-filled illusions of security” from my life. I have to figure out a way to never have to work. Needless to say while I was pondering this this morning, it renewed by zest for writing my book, as not having to work removes the primary “resentment-filled illusion of security” in my life.

  The Old-Wizard staff spends much of their time contemplating what the greatest games of all time are from every system in all ages. Whether it’s a drunken night, a sober night, a math night, or even a romantic night with our girlfriends, we at Old-Wizard can’t keep our minds off what the greatest games of all time are much to the dismay of our significant others. After long hard work narrowing down our top 100 favorite games, we finally became settled with what our top 10 video games of all time were. These were not chosen lightly as there were obvious omissions that made us question even defining what a top ten list of video games would look like. Would half of the list consist of Legend of Zelda games? In order to make sure that didn’t happen, we decided to include only one game from any franchise. We weren’t dismayed by this problem though, and put down what we thought were the ten best games ever. We think our descriptions of our favorite games of all time will speak for themselves in defense against other suitable choices. We know there will be games on this list that readers will agree with. We also know that that there will be games on this list that will make readers want to send viruses over to our server in hopes of never having to read these choices again. Regardless, we feel these next ten games will be remembered for years to come.
