Men and their video games.

I have two brothers. One of them, has serious history with Diablo and Star Craft since the second grade. I vividly remember my  little baby brother desperately calling out for help. He would order me to type in "show me the money," "black sheep wall." He was tiny and didn't know how to type yet.

But living up to his Korean heritage, he was darn good at our national sport. Star Craft. I work with a bunch of computer nerds that talk about video games. Although I've tried numerous times to join their conversation, I'm lost within seconds. I've tried, you see. But, still unable  to wrap my brain around men and their affair with video games. 

David is a guy. He too, just like any other guy, loves to play video games. He's actually really not that bad. He always seeks for my approval before hopping on his PS3. Although I admire him for respecting me, I still can't understand why men find video games so amusing. 

Tonight David and his friend Jarom were busy talking and shooting at each other on line. Interesting to "witness" their virtual battle. I guess that's how guys connect- via killing each other. They interact in really weird ways but it seems as if they are having the time of their lives. Hubby seemed really happy. Seeing his "manly happiness" I decided to be more open-minded. Only slightly.

I guess if hubby has to put up with my weekly fling with Rebecca and our shopping, gossiping and eating, I'll have to accept his.He seeks approval when he wants his fling with PS3. I promptly inform him of mine. We have a pretty balanced relationship (heehee) and I'm learning to balance it out even more by learning to share dear hubs with PS3, my nemesis.

BUT, how do you respond when hubby announces that he would like a career change. Instead of Med School, he now aspires to become a pro-gamer. Hmmm..
