I just can't find any doctor to fill my prescription!
It's the one that will keep me away from my new addiction.
It's not any type of illegal drugs or drinking alcohol.
It's the pure adrenaline of Street Racing balls to the walls.
Throw in some Mafia and Vampire Wars with Pirates for good measure.
It's a blast to throw down on thugs, biting necks and finding treasure.
It reminds me of my college days with that crazy Arcade addiction.
Where I use to be king of Omega Race, Caos and Joust without affliction.
I know when playing games the end result is suppose to be pleasure.
However, time has taken its' toll with an automatic prediction.
I have to grab control before I come crashing down and fall
while training myself to be my own doctor with a prescription!
Author notes
A couple of friends from AP has got me to finally come to Facebook! Then there were the cute and different things you could do like watergun fights, pillow-fights, passing drinks and the list goes on. Most of my friends there are from AP. I accepted several game applications and telling the ones I accepted it from that I won't be playing. It's ok not to play as you do help the other person out just being on their crew. Twelve days ago, I started playing Mafia Wars (I was already on level Five and never played the first time and not even know how). I started playing Street Racing and Pirates a day after Mafia Wars. I am on level 27 in Pirates, level 32 in Street Racing and level 28 in Mafia Wars. My crews are not big at all, but I carefully have learned how to play since they are mostly strategy games. I'm on level 12 in Vampire Wars and just started playing it only to kill the time for the others to rebuild in time (if you have played any of the games, then you know what I mean).
I'm not an expert by no means in any of the games, however, I have figured some things out to get me to the levels in a quick pace without any cheat codes (I'm sure some are out there). I do plan to write them out and post them here as a column so if anyone is currently playing or plans to begin to play them, you will have an edge. Why would I give this to you I'm sure you're wandering. It's simple! I have always a desire to teach and not just because I can't do (I know it's said those who teach are not able to do better elsewhere and I think that is garbage; may apply to a very few). Even through my knowledge and experience, I have always try to share and teach to make it easier for someone else in life to do better. I know these are only games, but I do it for all aspects of life and not just entertainment. I have taught in the military and another profession and it gives me great pleasure when others come back to say how far they have gone in life and their finances. One of my students from about thirteen years ago is now making more money than me and even became a trainer for a few years using what I had taught him. That is the thing I'm proud of that he is able to pass it on. Needless to say, he was one of my favorite students who was eager and willing to learn at the time. I knew him when he was single and dating his now wife. They have two fantastic little boys. I know it may seem off the subject, but compassion and understanding for wanting others to get ahead is its' own reward (and I will always feel this way).
As for the addiction to the games, well that's completely another thing I have to deal with own my own. I know I was my own subject for a thesis I did in college about the addiction. My cure then was to fill my life with things to where I didn't have a chance to go to the Arcade. This time it will be a little different as I now pack the Arcade with me no matter where I go. It's available for the most part. So my prescription for my game illness will more tougher to cure, but I will learn to control it. I will eventually become bored through time and just do it every now and then. It's what happen when the Video Arcade was finally brought home. I owned (and still do in boxes/storage-lol) all the nintendos, the segas and the ataris (through 7800). Now I have not got into the Playstation or X-Box even though I'm surprised at myself. Even with my new facebook game addiction, it won't happen.
The games I thought would be fun; RobinHood and Spys. Don't bother with those (even if I sent you an invitation) for they suck as they are limited for you are required to have bigger crews to advance. The other games I love mentioned above, you can even advance no matter if you're solo. However, there are some things you can't buy until your crew gets bigger, but you can still be successful without them. With that in mind, don't get to addicted to them and if you want me in your crew, just send the invite. I do send plenty of gifts to the people in my crew without asking anything in return. If you decide to become part of my Street Racing crew, then you're in for some great treats for I have Hundreds of Cars now and all of them Modified in some way to race! When they get the Gifting fixed again, I plan to hit my latest crew members up with sweet rides that they would not be able to afford until double digit levels. These are the rides you want to make your car of choice for other people will try to race you one on one thinking they can take you.

Even as I posted this, went up another level in Mafia Wars and accepted someone into my Racing Crew. It has got to be my favorite game, but you can probably tell with my facebook covered in winning items and Rachel Racing showing up and telling everyone that another driver was wiped with the floor(lol). Love the comment and definitely no need for deleting it. You need to be on the Racing Crew as I can hook you up better in there than I can from any other game since I own Hundreds of Modified rides
Ted E
PS: Have to get back to work very shortly, so even the games have to end and get back over here during the week to comment on entries in my contest and get them judged. Think I will even host new contests for all of the games(lol)
