At first I was thinking the staff. I changed it to the knife. Think of it on terms of a striker fighting a grappler. Unless the grappler gets knocked out by the first punch or kick, he can usually shoot in for a takedown. Sure you take a hit or two, but once you get past that 6 foot range, you can go for the stab. I spent too much time thinking and analyzing this. Fun topic.

For Friday and Saturday, continue my reread of The Iliad. Last week I started another Howard reread with Kull: Exile of Atlantis. I want to go through all his work in a chronological historical timeline. Sunday another chapter of Lord of the Rings and continue with Egil’s Saga. Started playing my Xbox again, with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. For shows, I’ll watch the last couple episodes of Vikings Valhalla and start The Last Kingdom.

No, I am also "not" playing this. 😪

Since we love all things Dark and Grim here, thought I'd share Michael K. Vaughan's latest video on The Darkness of Robert E. Howard.

Thanks. I welcome any input. Like I said, I’m new at this. I’ve had to delete and repost things. Even deleted the entire page and started from scratch at the beginning. I’ve been writing my thoughts and notes down on a separate app. So it was no biggie. Just copy paste.

Just wanted to share my reading blog with you guys. Last September I started tracking my reading and making notes here and there. Sharing my thoughts on the books and short stories I've been reading. Not sure if this is the right spot to post this. So feel free to move it. I didn't see a section for self-promotion on the form. So I figured The Pub was the place to do it. http://harfootsreadingblog.wordpress.com/

Although....if all your extra wives are working, that's more people helping to pay for your house and bills.

For a younger guy, it seems cool at first. But as a 40+ year old man, it looks like a LOT of work.

I want to see who gets killed and how. I'm in.

No, I don't need to root for a character to enjoy a show or movie. As long as the story's well written. For me it was The Sopranos. Every character in that show is a total scumbag. However, the writing was really good, and it was comical at times.

Saturday's are always a slow day at work. 14 hour day, the guys just relax around the house. No outings with the cold weather and covid. So I get a lot of time to read on and off throughout the day. I read chapter 3 in Lord of the Rings. Read some more of The Butchering Art. And for my iBooks read, I read a couple more chapters in the first Executioner book. So it was a productive work day.....for reading that is. It's not always like this at work. Usually more going on, so I take the easy days and enjoy them when I can.

Don’t go looking for a “magic pill”. Anything worth learning takes time and a bit or suffering to master. And when you get to that point, you realize you still have more to learn.

Happy Birthday 🎂. That video reminds me of the one time I tried to wait tables.

I had it last year, first week of January. Had the headache and body aches for a week. Got a positive result on a Saturday. Started getting symptoms late Sunday. Monday into Tuesday were the worst. Did the 14 day quarentine. Still had post covid side effects of low energy and headaches. That went away around August. Hope you feel better soon.

20 min sections for a You Tube sounds like a good idea. Going by my own viewing habits. I tend to watch You Tube in the morning while drinking my coffee, before I get going for the day. That takes about 15 - 20 minutes max. At work I tend to watch shorter videos throughout the day. It's easier doing those shorter intervals. Unless I hit some downtime at work, then I may watch a longer video. I haven't downloaded any podcasts in a long time. When I did, it was always something I listened to on my drive to and from work. So that could be something longer. Video isn't necessary for that. For your questions. I don't look into that stuff, and I don't think you're overthinking it. For a content creator I think it's worth looking into. But even then, I wouldn't stress out over it. Just make content you enjoy doing.
