The Blog of Death

lots of thinking today...looking for a friend's supposed blog, i came across the blog of death, which sounds creepy, and is, i suppose, but nonetheless led me to this site -- www.findagrave.com. yep, find a grave. so i went there, and was able to find the following:

my grandparents.
