Major Distraction

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge gamer.  I have loved video games my entire life.  So it was no surprise that when Sony made the announcement of the PlayStation 4, I knew that I wanted one.  However I missed my opportunity to score one during the pre-order process because I procrastinated.  Once the pre-orders were all bought, I knew finding one would not be easy.  I was right.  There were those few people who tried to capitalize on the PS4 shortage by selling their pre-order or their launch console for double the price.  I am no fool, so out of sheer principal I knew that I would not be going that route. 

Launch day came and went and I found myself without a PlayStation 4.  As much as it pained me to not have the latest-and-greatest gaming console I moved on and knew that I would eventually get one when they became more available.  It was actually kind of nice in a way.  I had much more time to devote to my technology projects.  So that was exactly what I did.  I dove into my projects to pass the time.

Roughly about 2 weeks after the PS4 launch I happened to come across one by sheer luck.  Since then I have spent entirely too much time playing video games versus working on my projects.  I cannot help it though, it is just way too much fun.  I may come off as a child with a new toy and perhaps there may be a small amount of truth to that statement, however I have been a huge video game fan my entire life.  So to me, this is nothing really out of the ordinary.

It is not all bad though, it has reinforced the notion that I need to secure my home.  Having a highly sought after device such as the PlayStation 4 only makes finishing my home security project even more justified. 

I have not forgotten about my technology projects and they will not be abandoned.  I am just in a slump due to the major distraction the PS4 has placed upon me.  I feel I am still in that honeymoon phase and it will eventually wear off sooner or later.
