As of a few minutes ago, Funky retired from his one year post as my user icon. He took me and some of you to great heights with his Flights, but his air surfing days are at an end here at my corner of GS. In his place, a worthy replacement. Someone who can no doubt handle the responsibilities that being an awesome user icon entails. Someone who is already a Master at something far greater than even teh internets. Everyone, I'd like you to meet Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi.

This is definitely one of the coolest pictures I've ever found of him. Once I found it, I knew it right away that it would be perfect as my new icon. Funny enough, I was shooting for a Star Wars icon all along but had my sights on one of either Mara Jade or Jaina Solo (since they're both quite strong (and hot) women). Then this pic came along and well, maybe the ladies will take his place sometime down the road, or replace the blog pic anyway.

I know it will take most of you some time to get used to, especially if you really liked my Funky icon or it was the only moving icon in your "tracked blogs" column. But you'll adapt. 8)
