What It Is - Erich Fried
What it is
It is madness, says reason
It is what it is, says love.

When I was watching some of the clips Sasha kept chirping to it ( Read more... ) -
Goomba birth
Goombas are my fav mobs from the Super Mario game series, so it was rather cool to hear about how it came about and what type of mushroom is actually is! ^_^
