Hi there!

         My name is Brian; otherwise known as blc1973. As some of you may have guessed by that birth date there at the end of my monicker I'm OLD! lol  I'm 38 years old to be exact. And while I do use a cane, I probably smell better than most Grandparents.  :P

         About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with aggressive Lymphoma. ( Cancer ) While I have fought tooth and nail against it I find myself now at stage 3. Now unable to work; I spend most of my time with my children and awesome wife. In between my treatments while they are at work and school I play MC.

         I have always been passionate about games. I especially love the on-line environment and meeting new people. It means more now to me than ever before as I don't get out as much as I used too. I love the feel of Minecraft. The endless possibilities it brings. The community is also equally great! I enjoy the exuberance of youth. These kids are brilliant in their creativity. I find most of the young people I meet on MC to be very accepting of my age rather than flame it. ( Which is nice compared to WoW )  :/

          In closing I would just like to say thank you! I know I can be long winded so props to those of you who finished this rant of an introduction! lol If any of you are interested, you can find some of my projects at Planet Minecraft under blc1973 in the member search section. They might not be much too look at compared to some, but I am proud of them none the less!

Thank you!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I've been playing for a couple of days now and am really ramped up about this server! Everyone has been great to deal with, the mods seem fair and friendly and the environment is very relaxed and enjoyable. Much better than I have expected for a on-line server... I'm an old WoW player so I imagined it would be similar lol. Mark me pleasantly surprised!

Thanks!!! :D

Ah, another 30+ gamer. You `re right about the kids here, most of them are way better than the kids on many WoW-servers or other games.

I`m sorry to hear about your cancer, but I`m happy to hear that you spend your time with your family, my dad didn`t when I was young (also cancer) he chose to work overtime until he was hospitalized, so I think I know how much it will mean to your kids.
