QOTD – August 5th, 2013

Greetings.

Today’s question comes from the star of Meekman’s World, Paul Meekin.

“I recently got “fired” in my long-running game of
Booking Revolution after playing for 4 straight months and likely at
least 40+ hours. 

I find myself nostalgic for the game and the
matches I booked and such, despite the fact this game isn’t real, the
people in it aren’t real, and it’s probably a waste of time in the grand
scheme of things.

Thus the question: What totally arbitrary
interest have you invested the MOST time in, only to either be snapped
out of it by someone else, or your own psyche. You can’t answer pro
wrestling.”

From the age of 13 until 16, I was OBSESSED, I mean, OBSESSED with Bone Thugs N Harmony. I had an entire wall covered with photos & posters, an army of t-shirts & hats, and it was the only music I’d really listen to. I printed out the lyrics to EVERY song they ever did, and had them in a giant, organized binder. I’d sit and listen to the songs and work on memorizing them all. I’d buy an entire CD if a Bone member was featured on a song. I once bought a CD because collectively Bone was on a song for 30 seconds. No joke. I ran my own Bone website, and I even had a Bone Thugs N Harmony gold pendant. When a new album was coming out, I’d make a count-down chart starting at 60 days out and keep it in my binder. So every day at school I could cross a day off. I know for those few years, I was the biggest Bone Thugs N Harmony fan in the entire world, and I had some pretty stiff competition. For some reason. Bone generates some massive & loyal fans.

So, once I became 16, for some reason I just started to lose my interest. Which is good, because behavior like that, devoting so much time to something that doesn’t help move you forward is for when you’re young.

How say you?
