I wanted to make this blog a week or two ago, but I was too distracted by other things. (Porn for example)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it is the start of the weekend, but I wanted to get this out of the way before I forgot. After every weekend, typically on Monday's; I get asked a simple question. "What did you do this weekend?" The answer should be simple. I should just explain to the person asking what all I did. However, this is a not so easy question for me to answer.

I usually just say something like "I didn't really do anything" or "nothing much". In reality, I do a lot of stuff, awesome stuff. I would love to tell the asker everything, but would they even care? Would they even believe me?

On the weekends I always do odd jobs. Sometimes I'm a plumber, not just any plumber though. I ride around on this dinosaur, one of the cutest things you'd ever see! I go everywhere, solving puzzles, stopping monsters, and saving princesses!
Last weekend I didn't go home. Instead, I decided to go to this festival on the coast. This sounds crazy, but I actually compete in these intense races...which take place during the apocalypse. I swear it's true! I don't just race when things are getting obliterated. Sometimes I take a stroll on a nice relaxing rode in one of my thousands of cars. I do more than racing though.
Next week I hope to be a Cop, my goal is to rank up into a detective after I solve enough murders. This will be hard for you to wrap your head around, but I'm solving cases from the 1940's. Actually, it's more like during the 1940's.
This might sound sick, but I occasionally tear up guys with my chainsaw. Don't worry though, it's for a good cause! And besides, Carmine needs my help!

Now if you haven't figured it out yet. I'm talking about video games. Even though all those bad ass things are from video games, I am still doing all them. I find video games to be the best entertainment out there, and it is what I enjoy doing most in my free time.

Like I said, I would love to tell the person asking about all the awesome things I get to do, and how fun it is; but unfortunately the person asking is not a gamer. He/she wouldn't really give a shit. He/she would act like playing video games all weekend is some joke. Why is that?

You can see a new movie, that is cool. You can get hammered drunk, that is cool. Concerts? Yep, cool too. Video games on the other hand...LOOSER. That is how the average person sees it. And it really bugs me. I didn't do just "nothing" like I tell some people.

Yeah, I game on the weekends. How is that uncool? Are people truly that ignorant? Sure I think concerts, movies, partying (people drugging out, where I live anyway) can be great fun. I do do (sounds weird) what is considered cool to do when I want to. I will go to events if I really feel like they will be fun and worth the time. If I do participate in what's "cool" I will explain what all happened. It's just that I find the most enjoyment in video games.

So I don't do nothing on my weekends.
I GAME MY HEART OUT.
I'm not embarrassed about being a gamer in any way what so ever. I just can't explain my weekends to people who aren't gamers. If they aren't gamers, they won't really understand.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you ever asked the question "What did you do this weekend?" by a non-gamer, and all you did was really game, how do you usually answer it? How do you feel about the question?

You can do more than one thing in a day. I'll usually spend a few hours gaming and then go and see my friends, go see a show, go to the pub, go outside and enjoy the nice weather (when it's actually nice, which isn't too often)or something else. There's always something I could be doing.

So there's nothing wrong with spending your weekend gaming, but it can look a bit boring to someone else if that's all you do. Honestly though, sometimes I do just want to do nothing but game on the weekend.
Yeah I do do other things if it is worth doing. I sometimes turn down my friends and stay home to play games. Not because I don't want to do something with them, but because they don't have anything fun to do XD

I love gaming with my friends, all of us on the couch :)
Video games make me looser? In what way?
I never said they make you a looser. I was saying that it seems like the average person would say gaming isn't cool and for loosers.

Did you not read? :(
Ahem....

Loser*

Unless of course you were trying to say that video games make you sluttier. Then by all means, carry on.
Wow, I'm done with posting blogs. How bout you guys try to read, it helps a lot when it comes to anything that has to do with text. Especially blog posts.
God damn I'm a dumb ass...misspelled loser...too bad I can't delete posts :(
Haha, I actually thought it was kinda funny. Don't stop posting blogs because of what I said!

To respond to your blog, I've sort of decided to stop caring what other people think of my hobbies. If non-gamers ask what I did over the weekend, I tell them I spent most of it playing video games. It's what I love, I don't really care if they think I'm a loser (or that I'm looser) because of it. That's their opinion.
I would leave a comment, but I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Evidently someone's trying to steal and weaponize anthrax vaccines, so I have to use my smartphone to infiltrate their compounds and shut them down.



Being a secret agent is hard, yo. Especially on 007 difficulty.
haha I won't stop posting XD

I just came off as a retard though for misspelling loser, and then I didn't even realize that you were correcting me. hahaha :)

007! YUHHHHHH
Movies are great, I loved playing the old games too! "night fire" on PS2 with my friends!
Hell yeah! My favorite is still Everything or Nothing, but I loved Nightfire as well. I owned it before I had internet and used to spend hours fighting the bots on multiplayer.

Plus, that game had the most ridiculously awful Bond line I've ever heard in my life. "How do you plan to hack the mainframe, James?" "Anything can be penetrated...with the proper tool." JESUS. What the hell were they thinking...XD
Most people don't ask me what I am doing on the weekends or whenever else. I'm really obtuse when it comes to my personal life, and not just because of some of the very same reasons that you mentioned, although they do factor in heavily.

The type of asshole who asks what you did on your weekend is the same one who has no interest in being part of it and is merely a voyeur or sizing you up... ok, that might not be true at all, but that's what my inner paranoid schizophrenic tells me, and if he isn't at least right, then he's dangerous if to hurt me for ignoring him. He's got knives. KNIVES.

Where was I going with this?

Oh, yeah, asking people what they've done is kind of a rude thing, at least in my opinion, because its unspoken connotation is that they only want to know the most interesting, pertinent, and that they can commiserate. Sure, it does express a level of interest in your personal life, but chances are if you liked that fucker they'd know what you're did or will be doing well beforehand. I mean Facebook and Twitter has this handled to the umpteenth, fucking degree.

Sorry about the vulgarity. I just find some questions invasive and cloyingly insincere. None of that is on you though. You're alright. Stick around and have a fap on me.
If we hide our hobbies from people because of fear of their answers, they will never respect them. There is nothing wrong with gaming, watching cartoons and anime at your thirties and the such. Sorry, but uf there is nothing wrong with Bieber and Gaga fans, why our hobbis must be wrong?
I thrift a lot.

And drink.

Oh God I'm so alone.
@Occam: Shut up and drink until you don't remember why you were drinking. Everyone else is doing it.
To each their own. Very nicely said! :)
