You know one of those day where you can’t go positive for the life of you. Where your gun just seems to be shooting rubber bullets. Where, after every gun fight you find yourself screaming ‘NOWAY’. Where, as your frustration increases, your skill decreases exponentially. I won’t lie, I had enough discipline to stop playing MP after several awful, stress and rage inducing matches. But my failures seemed follow me where ever I went. I lost 45 mins of campaign progress due to a check point that landed me off of the map and I couldn’t get back up for the life of me. I tried at least a dozen times only to plummet to my death. Then I couldn’t help but wonder why I dropped that jetpack for a shield earlier in the level?
All day, I couldn’t wait to get home and fire up my xbox, but what I did not foresee was what awaited me when I finally did! A session that left me empty and stunned, looking at the TV screen blankly, contemplating whether to turn off my xbox or throw it through the TV. Luckily my woman came home and I had to quickly compose myself so as not to show my weakness and frustration. For the remainder of the evening I sat in silence starring at which ever program was on at the time, pondering what I had just experienced, recalling all of the encounters I made that day, thinking of where I went wrong and what I could have done differently. I came to realize that these things happen and that everyone will have a bad day. I’m gonna have to stay strong, and I will go on, I will persevere; because you know what my friends?? …Today is a brand new day!!!
