Ok so basically, I graduated college this fall, gonna turn 22 in December (winter baby), and I still haven't got a job. Like many of you know, I had a crappy retail job that was way below me for about 2 weeks but got fired, and was asked to interview for another crappy minimum wage job at Kohls but apparently it was a "group" interview with 5 other applicants. And it doesn't look that good when you're sitting at the same table as a woman in her 50s who got laid off from Shoprite, a 30 year old guy who used to be a drummer in a band and work as a plumber, and a girl who is a senior in high school looking for part time work. Especially when you're in a clean white shirt and tie and he others are wearing casual clothes.

Last Christmas I got FIFA 12 kind of by accident because I don't even like soccer. That's what happens when you try to find a decent game on Christmas Eve at Walmart.

But I played that shit religiously over the summer. My parents have been trying to basically get my ass to the gym, or go shopping, or try to find a job, or prepare for my Masters (I applied and got into Rutgers Business School but apparently when I applied in April 2012 the deadline for this year passed and I can't start classes until May 2013). So I've been trying to convince my parents I'm studying for that shit and trying to improve myself by socializing and stuff, but all I've been doing the last 2 days is basically FIFA 12.

My parents are big on church and charity and crap like that, well I'm an atheist, and they forced me to go to church on Saturday. But Sunday and Monday they were out of the house and so I played Sunday from 9 AM - 3 PM, and 6 PM - 9 PM, and on Monday from 8 AM - 6 PM (no breaks at all except peeing).

So I could feel my brain start frying but I was just so freaking addicted. Over these 2 days I've played more than I had in the summer, it's just so awesome playing online against people who might be halfway across the world. And I am super competitive in this game. I play to win, whenever I lose a game I have to keep playing till I win.

In the almost one yea I had this game I've played almost 1000 games. In these last 2 days alone I played about 50 games. I seriously do feel addicted to this shit, it's like I don't really have anything else to do like a job or socializing so FIFA consumes me completely. But seriously it's super fun and super addicting.

Idk if I'm gonna get FIFA 13 but gotta wait till Christmas again, FML because at the end of 2012, EA Sports will discontinue online services for this game cuz they wanna milk their fuking profits from FIFA 13,

Go suck an egg EA Sports

In all seriousness though, if you like to write blogs this much, you should consider applying for a social media consulting firm. Lots of those springing up nowadays to service noobish corporate clients
