Well, to see where I was on google's imprtance list, I googled the word "Sapper". Imagine my surprise when about halfway down, where it shows "images for sapper", I found that the first 4 pics to be of my run with my hunter through Molten Core! So, I hit the "images" button, and the first row are more pics of my run.
Now, google might just know that I put those pics there, and so it is showing me my pics. But I'd like to think that I am moving up in the world.

Weird Links to My Site
So, I was doing some research on the sites that bring people to my blog. Most people who come here (over 25%, actually) come to visit my Skyrim Death Knight page. In fact, if you google "Skyrim Death Knight", my blog is on the first page of google now! I have received almost 20% of my total pageviews since posting that page.
What was interesting to me though, is that sometimes I get refers from websites that are totally unrelated to my blog. My latest was from babybackpack.com. Interestingly (thought unsurprisingly) enough, there are no links to my site on that webpage. I am pretty sure it is some type of linking campaign through automated programming. But, if it brings me visitors and gets my website higher on the google rankings, I'm fine with it. It's just odd sometimes. I've even had links from weightlifting websites.
Well, I'm working on a new strategy guide, the art of "kiting". Seems to be a lost art, although very effective when used correctly. Look for it later this week, or even later on today.

09June11 Update: Selection and Deployment
Well, for those of you who don't know, I just got back from SFAS, or "Special Forces Assessment and Selection". I didn't do so well. I didn't get selected this time. But, I plan on trying again in a year or so.
On my way out of Ft Bragg, I had to stay in a hotel off of post, due to no vacancies in the hotel on post. Because of jet lag (and possible Mountain Dew overdose!), I couldn't sleep well that night. So I took a walk. When I came back to my room, a guy came around a corner with a steak knife in one hand, and demanded I give him my wallet. I started to comply, but for some reason or another, the guy decided to try and cut me anyway. he was partially successful, and now I have a nice cut on my face that makes me look like Seifer from Final Fantasy 8. But cutting me made me mad. He didn't walk away with my wallet that night. But he did walk away with a broken nose, a dislocated elbow, and possibly a fractured rib.
I got home to talk to my unit, and as it turns out I will be deploying to Afghanistan shortly. Probably before the fall. Obviously, I can't put dates on here, due to OpSec (Operational Security). Hopefully, I will be able to continue posting threads from Afghanistan. My plan is to start a new segment about the deployment, and life in Afghanistan.
In other news, I am working on my second World of Warcraft Parody. It's recorded, and I am just waiting on some sound bits from a couple friends before I put a quick video and post it to YouTube. I found out that YouTube counts all the views from an embedded video, so I will also be embedding the video here in my blog.
