I have been working a lot and finishing up my Masters at FPU so I haven't had much time to post. Although as we all know, that isn't much of an excuse. That just means I didn't think about recently. I have had enough time to watch Big Bang Theory, Whitney, and Sherlock recently, so why not post on my blog? I'm lazy. That's why.
So all in all it's been a pretty awesome couple of months. I've been working on a few new card games, perfected one and started some preliminary work on a couple others. That has been fun. I have also been disc golfing more recently. I had a drought for awhile where I hadn't gone in month or so and that was just weird. :( But now I'm back and I'm loving it. I realized that I will probably never be as good as I was when I was playing weekly, but I will always love it. :)
During the winter I always seem to rack up more board gaming time since it's harder to go outside and play in the sun. This winter is no exception. I have been playing a lot of games! If you ever want to come over and play some board games with me, feel free to call me up or hit me up on Facebook. I love it. Just this week at my lifegroup we played "Game of Things", "Bohnanza", and "Family Business". So much fun and so much bonding going on. That's one of the easiest ways for men to bond, through games/sports.
A smart man once told me, "Women tend to bond with each other face to face, through shared conversation, while men bond side by side, through shared experience. We have fought side by side in wars for millennia, and it is in our blood to do so, not because we love bloodshed, but because we bond with other men when we are by their side through adversity and trial. " Now I know what you are thinking, games do not equal adversity and trial?! Well, yes and no. They do include many of the same feelings as men at war: camaraderie, teamwork, betrayal, disappointment, hope, fear, and frustration. These characteristics of board-gaming make it much more like war than much of what we do during our day. So fight an imaginary war instead of a real one and play a board game!
And that's the way the cookie crumbles...uh huh...uh huh....uh huh.
BTW.
