Darkwind

Why does the spelling contain 'R's if they're not pronounced?

Would he be completely immortal or that "I'll live forever but can still be killed by physical means" kind of immortal that fantasy authors like to have in their characters?

What if he tried to do this "peaceful" approach thing and just gave Vader a hug?

Should we dub it magic, witchcraft, sorcery, or wizardry?

Could we develop a mobile polygraph device that they would have to wear?

If magicians are so secretive how can you ever trust them?

I think this is the house. Although when I rode past it it wasn't quite in the water yet. This might be a different house though.

I have no idea. The worst one I've seen was after Hurricane Isabelle in 2003. This is what it did. Had to get over to my grandparent's house in a little motorboat. When we were going across the sound, there was half of a house sitting in the middle, on its stilts, out of the water. You could see into the kitchen and still see the appliances on the counter and all the glasses hanging from the little glass rack thing some people have. It was weird. Actually if you look at the picture towards the top right I think that's the house right there. Living in a place like this makes you appreciate how strong of a force water can be.

So I come from a beach. Went home for Thanksgiving and had to wait like 4 hours to ride a ferry because Sandy destroyed a road. On my way back out decided to pay up the $25 to be loaded on a trailer and pulled across the sand where the road is dead. Got a couple of cool pics. That used to be a road. And there was probably a good couple hundred feet of sand (with 10-15 ft sand dunes) between it and the ocean. I kind of like how it looks. Here's a house. I don't know how it's still here. I guess it was built to last. You can see the downstairs door and where the ground used to be. And for anybody that's seen it or knows about it, the house from Nights in Rodanthe used to be right next to this one before it was moved to a less "oh noes the ocean tried to eat me" area. The name of this house is The Black Pearl. That's my mum's front yard in the wee hours of the morning during the hurricane. Everywhere you see water, there's grass underneath it. Hurricanes don't mess around.

Wow! Thanks for this! This definitely took my birthday away from it's normal...normalcy. ^_^

Yeah I know right? I'm glad it looks good. Some of them are a bit...iffy.

Getting my unit patch on Saturday, after 18 months of dumb recruit private status, I'll finally get to go actually do stuff that isn't designed to just entertain me for an hour and leave me with nothing to do for 8.

Everything put together. I think I did a good job with my cable management. Much better than the last time I put a rig together (stuff was everywhere). The whole setup. Creative 5.1 Surround Sound speaker system. The cables in the back are a little messy...but not much I can do about it. Front view. Dual wide-screen Acer 20" monitors. Razer Naga mouse, and a Razer Lycosa keyboard. All the LEDS on everything I have are blue, including my case fans. At some point I might get around to putting LEDS inside the case too and getting a clear side-panel.

EVGA 680GTX graphics card. Made to get stuff done. ASUS Blu-Ray/DVD drive. 1TB Seagate HDD. To go with the 500GB one I already have that's getting full.

Intel i7 3770k processor. With heatsink that I didn't use. Corsair H100 Water-Cooling system. I forgot to put it in ahead of time and had to go back and do it. 8 Gigs of shiny blue Corsair Vengeance RAM.
