Only a few weeks ago, I got a call from my mom back home. One of  my former co workers - a good guy - had gotten in a terrible skateboarding accident, and was now in critical care. It was a sobering thought to think that this poor guy (whom, I believe, didn't know Jesus) could be dead very soon. In fact, all signs said that he would likely die soon. Support gathered as many of his friends on facebook updated their profile pictures to a sketch of him with the words "Go Simon" at the bottom. Prayers flowed toward this young man and his survival.
He has now woken up from the comma and is talking with his family and even controlling his bladder again. He recognized one of his old teachers who came to see him. One nurse says that she has seen countless cases like his, but this is only the second time in her long career that she has ever seen somebody recover so well; so quickly.
Our prayers will continue to flood to him for some time still.

I like to think that I have a musician hobby-ist inside of me. I've been playing trumpet for the past 8 (ish) years. Both classical and jazz for the past 3.5-4 years. I also began teaching myself alto saxophone on the horn my sister left behind when she went to college. I've also learned a few basics to counterpoint.

The last time I recall wearing a mask was over a year ago, when a bunch of my friends and I decided to prank another friend. We got her out of her house, got her mom to let us in and hide. She came home, and we jumped her (in mask) with silly string, water guns, and even saran wrap. She seemed rather confused..

My hometown is an Alaskan Island. I could look around from just about anywhere in town and see the ocean. It's great.
Sadly, I am now located a few hours from the ocean.

Fishing eh? Oddly enough, I haven't been fishing very many times, despite growing up in a fishing/tourism - supported town. When I have gone fishing, it was as a kid, at a nice fishing lodge. For free. My best friend's family owned the lodge, which I was then invited to stay at for a week or so. It was a nice deal.

Thank you very much! That's a nice thread to know about!

Simple problem as far as explanations go: I try to play Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but the emulator won't load. Some message pops up about the file being unsupported, and thus not open-able. Any help for a poor newbie?
