I was talking to my friends last night about some good ways to keep yourself ocuppied while at home, besides just surfing the net or listening to music. Well, we came up with all the things you would expect, watching TV (Paris Hilton for sure!), reading magazines, deciding what clothes to wear, etc. Then one of my friends sent me the link to a new website she’d come across for an 8 ball pool website.

You know how sometimes in your life you just have one of those moments where you’re like, “How can something so simple and mundane take up so much of my time and keep me interested for so long?” Well, that’s what I had last night. I swear I must have been online for 6 hours playing pool. And it was so fun! First I started out with 8-ball, because that’s what I used to play at my grandmother’s house when I was a kid. After playing a few games of that, and realizing what fun it was I decided to check out some other games.

So I checked out one I’d never heard of before called 9-ball. Then I actually took the time to read the rules and learned how to play snooker. This is the game my uncles used to play when I was little and I’d just stare with a blank look on my face. Anyway, I learned so much about pool and got so into it that me and my friends have actually started going to the pool hall. Let me tell you, it’s definitely easier to play online.
