The Only Thing I Know

This guy makes some good points but the real kicker is near the end.
I’m much happier playing one level of Little Big Planet with my wife than I can be in the hours needed for a WoW raid.

Thanks for posting Mike. Life is about balance. I deal with it every day. I've realized that no matter what, I refuse to let life pass me by and I always put family and friends first.
