Hospital food isn't bad, but it ain't filling either.
Wow, I actually went a month without blogging… I’m surprised
by that myself. Strangely, that wasn’t exactly the plan. February and the
beginning of March were kinda weird for me and I’ll go into some detail. I
would’ve posted my review of the event
Shadowland, on Comics Crossover Central, but I lost my jump
drive and don’t feel like writing again about that crappy event right now. Work’s good,
though. I’ve taken on some new responsibilities, and while it is taking a
some learning, I’m good. So, sit back as I go through some Random Thoughts.
“Wait, I’m being admitted?”
So, I spent a couple of days in the hospital recently. I don’t
put too much personal stuff here, but this is one event I need to let loose about.
Only my family, Liz, and co-workers know more about my condition. My resting heart rate had been
steadily increasing over February, but I initially thought it was overexertion. When it hit a pretty high number while I was just taking a slow stroll, I knew
something was off. I don’t think relationship woes would do that.
So, I went to Centennial and spent a couple of days there. I
definitely didn’t want to go since it is a hospital and there are those medical
bills to think about. Still, I had to do something. Heck, I wanted to leave while
I was there, but they had to watch vitals. Anywho, the problem was my thyroid
and it’s getting straightened out. Just know that I’m feeling better and that
hospital stays are nice when good nurses are around. Birgen, you were pretty
cool.
Tennessee Tornadoes
Now, onto to a pretty recent topic. Tuesday morning, Middle
Tennessee got hit with some powerful tornadoes. Nashville especially got hit
and I was apparently not too far from one. Germantown, North Nashville, and Donelson
got hit bad. Putnam County and a couple of others got it pretty bad too. While my
small street was pretty much unaffected, other parts of North Nashville had
trees down. I know of this one AutoZone in Germantown that got pretty much
destroyed. TSU’s Agricultural Center got effed up too. Today, my area got power
back after three days.
I thought I was taking a shortcut for work... WRONG.
It was a pretty chilling experience. I knew something was up
when I saw lighting hit a transformer on a light pole. Folk have lost lives, houses,
and jobs. We got folk out there doing what they can. I want to get out there
and do what I can even if it’s something small. For those who are the praying kind,
say some prayers for the one who have lost someone or a home. Also, if you can
give, do it.
Video Games
I actually haven’t watched too many movies for a while. I
haven’t been in the mood. What I have been doing is playing a few video games. I’ll
just mention a few before I sign off for today. I gotta end this post with
something light-hearted:
- The Outer Worlds – Obsidian really knocked this one out of
the park. Just imagine Fallout: New Vegas in space. The game is like someone mixed
Fallout and Firefly into one game. While it may not be as expansive as most RPG’s,
it really packs a punch with good characters, some nice gameplay, and some
interesting visuals. The characters are also a hoot. Heck, one long mission
involved me trying to get Pavarti, the ship’s mechanic, set up with another
mechanic. You may think that’s dull, but it was actually pretty fun. It’s definitely
a game to check out.
- Titanfall 2 – I’m not much into FPS, but I may play one or
two. Titanfall 2 was pretty good. The main campaign was fun, but I’ve actually
had a lot of fun with the online play. I can actually say I’m even getting
good. Basically, imagine dudes jumping to big A.I. controlled robots and you
get a fun game.
- Batman: The Enemy Within – I don’t know what came over me
with this game. I guess I got bit by that pesky Dark Knight. I’ve been on a
little bit of a Batman phase, and this game was just part of the ride. I’m actually
planning on talking about this game and it’s predecessor soon. Basically, this
was pretty fun. It was what you expect from Telltale Games. They even throw a
twist in especially when we see different versions of classic rogues.
……………………………………………………………………
Well, that I got for now. I’m gonna try to get back into
writing again. I still got ideas running around in my head (as well as
questions about life and love, argh). I think I may start out again with what I
was kinda planning: a Batman phase, not month. Maybe this’ll generate traffic
around here or something. All I know is that it’s been a while since I’ve
really delved into the Stank Knight. Yeah, I went there! Anyway, Peace, God Bless,
remember to neuter your pets, and be careful out there. 2020, you’ve been
weird, and I worry about ya.
