Why Candy Crush Saga is Like Life, or Why I Don't Have a Life Anymore

It all started with my Niece's husband saying "you don't play Candy Crush?  You really should - I'm on level 76".

Right...just another annoying Facebook game.  I went through my Bejeweled Blitz phase, my Words With Friends phase, and even (gulp) my Farmville phase.  I'm evolved, and only use Facebook to keep up with friends.

Yep.  Uh huh.

I'm on level 79 now, and here's why I think Candy Crush Saga is like life:

  1. Sometimes it seems easy - too easy
  2. Sometimes you want to shake your fist in the air with frustration because you can't seem to get anywhere
  3. They both take some skill, and some luck too, to get through successfully
  4. Sometimes things blow up in your face - and that can be a good thing
  5. Moves in one direction can give unexpected results
  6. They're both colorful and noisy
  7. Sometimes you have to pay to get ahead of the competition
  8. There's always someone on your friends list that has a better score (or makes more money, or has a nicer car, or looks better in clothes...)
  9. You learn as you go - the more you learn, the better you do
  10. If I actually had a life, I wouldn't be playing Candy Crush (or blogging about it)
