The Laker game Friday was stinkin awesome. Technically, it was a Clipper game versus the Lakers. And my Clippers dominated! w00t.
After the game I came home to a LAN that we had planned for that night. We had a great time, one of the best and most successful lans we’ve ever had. We started with a new game, Star Wars: Empire at War. It was alright, not a huge fan of the land battles, but the space combat was pretty sweet. All in all, I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
After that we went back to the good old COD2 (Call of Duty 2) and played that for the rest of the time (5:30am). Man, that game looks gorgeous on my upgraded box. So a good time was had by all. My brother was there for COD portion, which was awesome. I love gaming with my bro. I managed to pwn Marky a couple times which is a feat in itself as he is the master of that game.
I crashed after that and got up around 10ish. Took it easy the rest of the day and did some more gaming. By afternoon, most of the greyhats gang was over just hanging out and having a good time. We had dinner and watched movies, all that jazz.
I don’t know how to blog on what happened later that evening except to say, that a dear friend in the group left behind a period in his life that was exceptionally important to him. The event was painful and all my prayers are with him during this difficult time.
This is the second time in my life where I have been given the the opportunity to bear someone elses burdens with intense, divine empathy. There’s something about the intangible human heart effects all the other members of the physical body. I had fitful sleep last night and a general, nagging in the back of my mind telling me that everything is not okay. This is my friends sorrow to endure, but the emotion of it has been shared with me for this time so that I might bear up his burden.
