As some of you are aware, I quit World of Warcraft a couple of months ago, and my life is a whole lot better for it.  I have a beautiful girlfriend, getting more sleep, lost a little weight, and started my own website called Global Distortion.

So imagine my delight when I found a website that is devoted to those who quit World of Warcraft and their testimonies.  Here are a few of my favorite excerpts:

Understandable...

 "Because someday, I'd like to tell my grandchildren about my life experiences and I don't think a story about how I "agroed a Molten Giant once" will cut it. Oh and working on that "having grandchildren thing" would be nice. Starting with kids of my own."

Um, ok...

 "Quitting WoW has gotten me laid WAY more often. Since I quit 8 months ago I've had 9 different sexual partners, got a job, lost weight, got in shape, and took up archery. Amazing what real life can do for a girl like me..."

Poor guy...

 "Because I stupidly introduced my wife to the game, and now that's all she does. She spends more time with her online friends than me, and I may as well not be married anymore."

This was where the game went downhill for me too...

 "Black Rock Mountain. If I hear "BRD", "LBRS", "UBRS" or "MC" again, I am going to cry."

Another Good Reason...

 "I hate large guild politics, grouping with 40 random people who are just in it for the leet gear - and you are too, because you don't know any of these idiots but you need the gear to stay competitive and progress in the game you once loved. You miss your crappy little former guild with all your friends in it, but it wasn't big enough to raid. You still see your friends online sometimes... sometimes."

My favorite reason...

" Wow is a lifestyle, one i dont have time for anymore"

  Van Halen Ready to "Jump" for the NBA

     Ex Van Halen member David Lee Roth is ready to make another career change, but not quite what you might expect.  He's ready to join the NBA. 

"I was really down in the dumps after CBS fired me," confides the 48 year old known as "Diamond Dave". 

"I was thinking I could get back with the band and milk the Van Halen thing again, but then I got a call from a most unlikely person."

That person was none other than Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban.

"It was a no brainer.  Have you seen video from the Van Halen's 'Jump'?  Eddie has a vertical that is almost unheard of!  With their skills and popularity draw this is going to be the best thing since Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson.  Truth be told, the NBA has never really recovered from Michael Jordan leaving.  We needed something to get the fans back into the game.  I heard that the Lakers took on Warrant, and Whitesnake was heading to the Miami Heat, so I had to act fast!"  exclaims Cuban.
