    Before coming back to the hobby discussion, I want to share an interesting moment from last Friday when I met this gentleman.

    MeAndSteve.jpg

    Does anybody of you still remember Steve Blame? That very likable guy that worked at MTV Europe and did the news and all kinds of interviews?

    Can't say I do! But I'm American, so like my namesake, "I know nothing" about MTV Europe.
    Cool that you met him though!

    When I was younger, I was a fan of Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon and collected the cards.

    I'm actually rewatching the original Yu Gi Oh TV series right now on Netflix :).

    The original IMO was the best, I'm watching ''Face Off'' right now, the rematch between Yugi & Kaiba, I never kept track of my duels in real life but my friends said I took part in over 600, I only lost 5 times but I avenged those losses,

    @Light Savior_47 – thanks for the recommendation!

    Goosebumps all over – now being 21:30 minutes into the Kraftwerk’s concert at Toronto and listening to the opening tunes from “Computer Love”, one of my favorites. A shame that mostly nobody knows that one of Coldplay’s greatest hits uses exactly this melody to evoke that emotional experience.

    I don't know where to put this or what to say because I can't put it on facebook. Utterly, shocked and in a moment of seeing one of my ex school friends posted on a 'missing' poster. I don't know what to or say or do. I have not spoken to her in over a year. F-ing hell. I don't, I can't, What the hell? Am just in shock............

    Wow.. That is terrible. I'll say a prayer, I hope everything turns out okay. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. Try and stay positive friend! Plenty of support here in the Cantina if it helps.

    Thanks I'm fine just shocked am just praying she's okay. I have not spoken to her for over a year.

    Just said where she was last seen which was outside a hospital, the police described her as vulnerable. Gave out a description of how she looked and what she was wearing. That's it.

    I really feel sorry for you @p03 and even more for her! Rest assured, the Cantina family is at your side, my thoughts and hopes are with both of you. This is such a drastically situation, I can’t even think about how it would be if this would happen to me and the ones I know.

    It’s events like this that let us re-think our current situation, and brings perspective to some things, what really is important in our lives and what's just complaining on a high level.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the replies and personal messages. Just to reiterate I'm fine I just had the wind taken out of me. However she's been found safe. I don't know any details apart from she was found in a hotel. That's all I needed to know am just glad she's been found.

    Very glad to hear!!

    So, at work I have this Bing toolbar thing that changes my wallpaper everyday and this is today's:

    germany bg.JPG

    I can't stop staring at it. It says it is called "Rakotzbrucke" (aka the Devil's Bridge) in Rhododendron Park, Kromlau, Saxony, Germany.
    Have any of my German friends here seen this in person???

    First of all, thank the Maker! I'm really glad to read these lines.


    HM, my wife is from Saxony and I'm from Lower Saxony (for whatever that's good for), and neither has heard anything about it yet. BUT we will investigate, that's for sure. A thing of family honor or so ;-)
