El Title

Well here I sit.
I am fighting off a would be bout of flu. I will win cause I always do.
Went out and saw Joe today (sorry Nicky). Not much happened with me feeling shitty and all. We talked a bit with Scott and Kirbus (his brothers) and one of their friends Lyle.
Oh Joe showed me a game he got for Christmas. Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a pulse. It was a blast. It takes place in the "City of the Future" Punchbowl Pennsylvania. You are a traveling salesman turned zombie out to conquer the city. The creator of Puchbowl Andrew Monday doesn't like this one bit and throws his army of police and security at you along with some help from local militia and robots. Not overly graphic but still a zombie feel. Yes you eat brains. You can use powers like the "Fart Bomb" which incapacitates you foes for a short while allowing you to munch some membranes. The "Stomach grenade" is best used against large groups of the living. The "Hand Toss" allows you to detach you hand and send it off to find a human and then you crawl up to their head and take control of them. Lastly you can roll your head like a bowling ball and have it explode.
It was a blast. The music was period with some inserts of newer songs. The dance off against the chief of Police was hilarious. Yes I said dance off.
It reminded me of a game that I was playing at my friend Jim's called "Destroy All Humans" where you play a alien trying to take over the earth. Same 50's atomic horror feel.
After that we sat around again and chatted. Then Joe and Kirbus jumped into my van and I drove them to their cousin Randy's for some Castles and Crusades. It was good to see a true hardcore gamer like Randy again. He had games stashed all over and was showing off his wife's new 40K army. Most of which was put together with bits and pieces of toys that he had acquired.
I was starting to feel the affects of only 4 hours of bad sleep and this damn bug, so I made my farewells and took off.
So now that the recap of the day section is over I guess it is time for the more thoughtful section of this post.

I am not depressed. Down maybe but not depressed.
I know that I have a plan, it is just being forced to wait and wait to start making it happen. Now I could try and push this forward, but from past experience that will end in failure. All things in their appointed time and season.
I will just have to keep the shoulder to the grind stone and cope. Besides I have loads of friends to spend time with not to mention the projects that I have to work on for Ben and the guys at Harsh Realities.
Yes things that I want are not within reach but I need to focus on what I have and not what I lack. I keep saying this but until now I don't know that I understood it. I have to deal with the now, the future will attend to itself.
So all in all I am feeling better, aside from the throbbing in my head and stuff leaking from my nose. I hope that all are finding some peace in their stormy seas.
I will see everyone Saturday for the ..................
