Horrible back problems, but those are from some heavy lifting I never should have done when I was 16. Horrible sleep problems. Otherwise I'm solid.

Poor Sleeping habits - yep, but its because I have barely not time during the day to do things. I prefer 5 hours of sleep over not finishing a task.

Headaches - rarely, mainly either because I drank to much or to stressed out.

Back Pains - Yep, but only because I was hit by a car, and truck, and naother car, and another truck.. ok I was hit by a vehicle about 7 times and been in way to many fights.

Short Attention Span - ADD does that.

Yes i get out quite often, and im normal weight, lift regulary (at least try to) and try to stay decently fit



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

I live a geek lifestyle but I'm in good health.

I have no poor sleeping habits. I make sure I can get about 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day.

I little to no headaches and I really have no back pains.

I do have a poor attention span from time to time but i grew up having ADHD then it progressed to ADD. Over the years how ever I leaned to control my attention and do what i had to do and focus on what I have to do. I hated taking the various medications for ADD. I made myself control it so I didn't have to take medication for it.

I also do my weekly bit of Tae Bo and meditation and I try to keep my mind, body and spirit in check.

Nope, not geeky lifestyle related health problems. Now pot smoking related health problems, that's another story...
