This seems to always happen. I feel like i have nothing to program because i'm not skilled with any add-on libraries yet, so i'm stuck with text graphics. Any suggestions to get me going?

Learn OpenGL and do some graphics. It's easy to get started - just use one of the demos at nehe.gamedev.net to get started.
Particles are fun to work with. Create a fireworks particle system.
Buy a book either on OpenGL or Direct3D and enjoy. You can learn without a book but with is much less painful. Tutorials and even the SDK docs cannot always be trusted and don't always explain what is hapenning 'under the hood.'
yeah i liked the nehe tuts right up until the GLaux functions didn't work, i have glfw installed. So maybe i will do that.
