Ok... now there's something you don't see everyday.

I've tried to think of so many different spins on something cute to say here, but it just defies imagination. It is what it is. Here is a link to a man playing Angels We Have Heard on High on an ocarina made of broccoli.

Yeah I know...

If they develop one that impacts Mobwars I'm up a creek.

Just a quick note for friends and family that Facebook. Aparently the leet haxors of the world have decided that you were having too much fun, and that no internet experience is complete without someone trying to steal your credit card info:

It never gets easier :(


We had to say goodbye to some good friends of ours today. They're moving to Grand Junction... new job... their first house. We've known it was coming for a while, and I'm sure everyone has had that surreal moment when you realize that a group of people you hung out with every weekend just pulled out of town and if you're lucky you'll see them once a year.


I was a military brat. I had scores of friends come and go over the years. When you're a military family you learn to make friends quickly, and never take them for granted, because in a year or so they could be anywhere from Korea to Minot, ND. Being a brat I'm not usually a big one on goodbyes. I've made the promises to write, and that we'd meet up stateside somewhere. It's happened with a few friends, but most simply vanished (until they suddenly add me to their Facebook friends list ;) ).


This was the first hard goodbye in a while. Tears and all. Gabe was really stoic until the truck pulled away, then he bawled harder than all of us put together. Just goes to show you, you never know who the sensitive one is.
