I'm not a gamer. I don't own a system and I haven't stayed up all night played a video game since the weekend "The Legend of Zelda" came out. Yes, THE legend of Zelda from 15 years ago. Yet, there are 3 very kick a$$ video games out this week that have me contemplating getting a system. There is the Star Wars game "Battlefront" that lets you be in every Star Wars movie battle playing for either side. I heard you can even unload a few rounds into some Ewoks. Nub nub!

I suppose if there is an option to cap Jar Jar, I will HAVE to buy a Gamecube. This game is certainly awakening my inner 12 year old, but as if to taunt me, there is also a new X-Men game that lets you be any of the X-Men characters and you can pick and choose your powers. Then, last but not least is the Sims 2. The first Sims hooked my Mom. Yes, my mother, the woman who gave birth to me is a Sims-head. So I may buckle and check out this new version. I just hope beyond hope that I don't get suckered into any of them; because it is time better spent practicing my guitar or bass or even better yet doing homework. At least now if I choose to play video games over doing my homework, I have a credit card to support my habit.



I still want an SUV. I think socially conscious 20 year old Jon would probably shoot me if I bought a gas hog. 28 year old Jon doesn't want blood stains on his cargo pants. I use to think yuppies should be killed on site. Good times.
