Solitaire RULES Half Life DROOLSWritten by Chris Campbell
It's a popularity contest.Solitaire is hip, cool, and way more popular than Half Life 2. Don't believe me right? Well, numbers don't lie. According to two of biggest search tracking tools on web (Wordtracker and Overture) more people are looking to play Solitaire then Half Life 2. Almost twice as many. Wordtracker says that every day 5,031 people searched for Solitaire, while only 3,610 looked for Half Life 2. Overture says 3,095 searched for Solitaire, while only 1,180 searched for Half Life 2. And these days, Half Life 2 is in its prime. It's having its 15 minutes of fame. Within 6 more months, when all buzz has worn down, Half Lifes numbers will drop. After those same 6 months, Solitaire will be just as popular as ever. It's a classic; it never goes out of style. It's retro, old school, and bleeding edge all at same time. Save your money. Ya gotta read fine print folks. Flip that pretty shrink-wrapped box of Half Life 2 over, and take a peek at little letters. You know, ones with all tech speak, that only 14 year old in family understands. Don't bother trying to read it; I'll translate for ya. It says, "Not only will you have to shell out 59.95 for this glitzy box in your hands, but prepare to cough up another $150-$ $200 (plus installation) to upgrade that pathetic outdated machine you have at home". Yea right. Is there a big "L" burned into my forehead? I'm willing to bet however, that if you can read this article, your PC has all juice it needs to run biggest baddest version of Solitaire ever created. You'll never be bored. If your looking to expand your Solitaire experience head on over to your favorite search engine, type in Solitaire, and hit enter. Google finds about 6.8 million sites. Pick one, and have a blast. I'm sure you can find one that's way cooler than one that came with your windows machine. Now, how many variations of Half Life 2 are there to choose from? Umm I believe title suggests there are 2. Not much choice there.

I just can’t help but notice, some people just don't seem to be having any fun. I mean I know sometimes you gotta be all serious and get down to business but jeez, even that can be fun. And truth is even in business more fun you have doing it, more effective you are at it.Fun is one of those things that’s totally free, and you really don’t even have to work at it to have it. Another really neat thing about it is that it’s always right where you are. Wherever you go, fun is right there with you. Maybe not always readily visible but right there just below surface, there it is. Sometimes you just have to adjust your view a little to see it. I guess thing that makes it seem so illusive to some is fact that you do have to choose it. Fun only pokes it’s head above surface when actively called upon to do so. It’s a state of mind. One of those things that can be either induced or suppressed at will. I’m reminded of a story here: Two brothers went to ride ponies on their uncle’s ranch, but first uncle insisted that they shovel a large pile of manure out of a stall. One brother hated project, and grumbled his way through a few halfhearted scoops. The other brother was laughing and singing and shoveling with abandon. "What are you so happy about?" first brother asked. "Well," second brother replied, "with all this manure, there must be a pony in here someplace!"
