I am Proud to say that the first battle of the season went extremely well. The First battle of Strife Of Nations that is. Everyone had a blast, and truthfully that is all that matters. Although the Naz'Aure were stunted at the gate after a double attack within 15 minutes, everyone had alot of fun. For a Time, I was in a bit of a slump feeling as though I had let my fellow players down as a commander, and that perhaps I hadn't pushed when I should. I Meditated on it for a while, and I was much better for it. I realized that everyone had a blast, and at the heart of it all, that is what we were trying to accomplish. Although the warriors I commanded into battle were stopped short, I realize that I still win. Everyone had tons of fun, and Therefore Mission accomplished.
The Bad.... Well, my wife and I awoke today to a dual problem. The Bathtub faucet that we had spent all day on yesterday refused to work once again. We had to shut off the water until we fixxed the problem again. We then realized that the hot water heater was not pumping out warm water anymore. The Pilot light had gone out. When I entered the basement, I found 2 feet of water waiting for me, and no sound nor sign from my sump pump. A Piece of plastic had apparently washed into the pump and wound around the device, hampering it from realizing that there was water submersing it. It was the kick to the teeth that I have grown to expect, and frankly I'm surprised it hasn't crept up sooner. I fixxed all of the problems, and got the water heater back on, shrugged and flipped off the fates for screwing with me again.
The Indifferent... Well, I am extremely indifferent, I would like to think that anyone and everyone can come and talk to me about whatever they need too. Often times, the world seems to stop me from doing that, and yet I strive to continue. Sure, I could be down and out in a crack house, in a drug induced stupor to take away all of the pain I endure. Sure I could fall back on old ways of doing things as they are easier. Sure I could stop trying to help as often as I do. But, that would make me part of the problem, not the person trying to fix them. And that Is what I strive to do on a daily basis. I hope that in some crazy butterfly effect, my helping someone today, brightens your day tomorrow. And If not, I guess I just need to try harder.
