A poem has always stuck in my head from the day I first read it for an English class called, "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota" by James Wright. Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly, Asleep on the black trunk, Blowing like a leaf in green shadow. Down the ravine behind the empty house, The cowbells follow one another Into the distances of the afternoon. To my right, In a field of sunlight between two pines, The droppings of last years horses Blaze up into golden stones. I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on. A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home. I have wasted my life. As you know Gamespot has this nifty tool that lets you plug in your video game collection and see the estimated total value it's worth. After along while of thinking of all the games I owned over the years, I think I've finally put in the majority (207 games total) and it's come to a total of $4,137.93. Wow! So I thought to myself with this poem in mind, have I wasted my life? Perhaps I have...perhaps not...either way, I love it. Putting in my collection at Gamespot has also earned me a nice little emblem for my profile page. Even though that money would probably be nice for a couple car payments it's the gamer life and don't ever think it's a waste of time.
