Not For Music by myautofocuslife

Not For Music

My earphones! I don't listen to music with them. I only use them when I'm playing my games.

I never had any interest in video games until I hit middle age. (I've always been a late developer! Actually, I'm still waiting to develop womanly curves. Hope springs eternal in the woman with the stick insect figure.) Now I own 3 handheld game consoles: a Sony PSP, a Nintendo DSi and a Nintendo 3DS.

Because I play video games, my son likes to say I'm the kid in the family. I like to say he's weird for a teenager. The only game he plays is chess: international chess, shogi (Japanese chess) and xiangqi (Chinese chess). Obsessive, much? Not for me. I prefer my games to come with a healthy dose of violence and death.
I'd rather be the stick than the pear! LOL! Nice headset, gal and you play all you want to! =)

NICE headsets, Livia. Only you could take a photo of headsets and make it look like a piece of art! I love my Bose headsets too . . but only use them for walking. (which I haven't done much of lately!) Play on with your games . . my husband does the same. :)

I like the pop of color, Livia. My son got me hooked on action games for awhile, but our console broke. Have fun...

I never got past pacman: ) Cool shot!

Nice shot
December 17th, 2011

Love the purple, What do you call middle age?? I have never been into video games but then my husband got me a DS for my 50th and I am hooked, even down loaded angry birds on my phone..............

I hope by middle aged, you are older than I. But I do not get that impression. I was addicted to PS, but found other avenues... one of them being photography.

Great POV...great shot!

I love my toys and wonder if I might grow old, rather than just look it. Why is it that the middle aged inhabit the middle kingdom playing games or tapping out words on their touch screens, and listen to cool sounds? Your earbuds not only look cool, I bet they are. Great photo.

nice shot, what games do you play?
December 17th, 2011  
Nice shot of your headphones! I hope you enjoy your games (and your son does well with his chess) :)
December 17th, 2011  
As long as it makes you happy!!
December 17th, 2011  
do they stay in your ears? I can never find a pair that does. nice shot by the way.
December 17th, 2011  
A big "Thank You!" to everyone for taking the time to drop by and write a comment! Thank you for your encouragement and supportive words. I'm getting older by the second but I will definitely continue to entertain myself with my games. Heh.

@claireuk: The Collins dictionary says middle age is between 40 and 60 but the Oxford English dictionary says 45 to 65. Google tells me that it all depends on who you ask! Oscar Wilde said, "The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything." So, in that case, I was middle-aged by the time I was 12! Heh.

@bobfoto: I never give the right impression. I try, but it never works. Should I laugh or weep over this? (Though, when in doubt, I prefer to drink coffee and eat cake.)

@neeko: Currently I'm playing Patapon 2. I'm still trying to raise the perfectly evolved army! Before that, I beat Crisis Core after over 105 hours of playing. Completed all 300 missions, all side quests and mini games. Utter fun.

@metzgerrn: They stay in the ears comfortably. These earphones came with a set of 3 different sized soft flex sleeves, so I tried all of them and I use the pair that fits the best. I hear that some brands even make customized earphone sleeves for that perfect fit.

Again, I want to thank everyone for stopping by! Thank you so much!

Really Nice Shot - Shows what you wanted it to.
December 17th, 2011  
NIce shot of the earphones you don't use for music. I like the games too.
December 17th, 2011  
Love that you enjoy gaming "at your age" o.O Nice shot! My husband has custom molded in-ear monitors made by Alien Ears...I had to squirt this goop in his ear canal and he had to sit with his mouth open for 5 minutes...you should have seen him drool~ hahahaha! Have a great Saturday Livia!
December 17th, 2011  
Very cool shot...love the color and focus. Love the accompanying story!! :)
December 17th, 2011  
your usual perfect composition
December 17th, 2011  
Love the shot Livia. I think age is all in the mind....!
December 17th, 2011  
That's really funny,Livia!! Sounds like you have all the fun in the family!! I'm sure your son is improving his brain function, which at his age is not a bad thing!! Enjoy your games today!
December 17th, 2011  
Great pic. So simple and straight. Love the color in it
We say: `` you`re age is count by how you feels it.``
December 17th, 2011

December 17th, 2011  
Nice capture!!
December 18th, 2011  
Ha ha! ..as hope springs eternal in the curvy woman hoping to one day attain a stick insect figure! Oh, to have deliciously jutting hip bones! ..and yay for old farts playing video games, I'm one too! ;-)
December 18th, 2011  
I love the pop of colour! :)
December 18th, 2011  
So simple yet you make it something more than ordinary ! love the story that goes with it :D
December 18th, 2011  
This is nice - I like the pop of purple and the detail.
December 19th, 2011  
love this very detailed
December 20th, 2011  
Hahaha! Ok that last line made me burst out laughing - dishing out some wrath via a console can be very empowering lol.

Love your composition and focus in this shot :)

I really like the composition of this. I once tried to do a photo of earphones. I came to realize that it's harder than it looks to make a cool looking photo of wires.
