Jess Thanks for the smiles and the laughter. Haven't had that in a long time. Thanks for being so understanding. Worst part of my day is when I take you home. I'm always thinking of you babe.

Ace Thanks for always watching my back, for trusting in me, and for always being willing to follow along in my crazy ideas((although I give you full credit for the Jello wrestling idea))... You are my 'old school' buddy, and always my brother... I'm going to miss you when you're down at basic training, but when you get back, we'll paint the town red... or blue or something... We'll also get around to getting that G from whats-his-name's garage, to hang in your room...

Maverick Thanks for being around to bitch slap me back into reality when necessary... I'll always appreciate that I've taught you, and learned in the process... Congrats on your achievement, you know what I'm talking about, because you kick ass... I always knew you were the Good Will Hunting of the group... You are my greatest lounge singer, and my Mackie's Pizza buddy...

Sean Thanks for all the advice, all the dharma, and all the pep talks in art class... And for all the help with my black homeless jesus guitarist... I'll never forget the Ewok village in Tuscola, or the gals that thought we were in a play... I will never forget your dress at Junior prom either!!! Most of all, I will never forget when we stumbled upon the deer orgy!!! You took that big jump and got married, catching a lot of shit in the process, from a lot of people that you thought were friends... I don't know if it's what I would have done, but i do hope that you're happy and that averything works out.

Damo Thanks for being funny and bitchy and all the things you do so well... Thanks for the pucker, and for the good times at Brownsea and in Virginia... You are another one of my 'old school' buddies, and even though we rarely see each other anymore, you are always a brother... Thanks for always laughing with me, and for insisting on running to The Rosebud at Brownsea... It was awesome seeing you at Timmy's grad party, and I hope we get together and have some good times, and I hope that it's soon!!!

Priest Thanks for being, well, for being you... For trying to teach me all that you could... For always being willing to go hunt down some evil demon or ghost or whatnot that was making life difficult... Thanks for not burning me alive on an island, I appreciate that a lot... you got me started on a lot of things, that I probably won't ever finish, and someday I'll let you shoot at me with blowgun darts again...

Sparky Thanks for joining the team when you did... It's been great defeating uglies with you... Someday, we'll look back on all the risks we took and laugh... Then we'll plow into a parked car... oh and thanks for saving the original WEMIB when you did... Also, thanks for beta testing this site for me... i appreciate it... A LOT!!!! We'll go out wandering the world as soon as we get rich or conquer the planet... But I am mad at you for making me incredibly jealous with the whole sky-diving thing... I still have you beat when it comes to scuba though, HAHAHA!!!!

Bessie And Bluey Bessie, you are my greatest folk ballad friend, and Bluey, when it comes to my punky shit, you wail it out for me... Thanks kids!

Amy Thanks chica, for being my yearbook goddess, and a great friend... I know I'm hard as hell to get a hold of, but I love yah just the same!!!

Guy Darby Met you on an overnight train, thinking I'd never see you again... Little did I know I'd run into you on the streets of Nice! You will never know how much our short conversations changed my life! Thanks for everything!

Rachael Talking to you actually helped remind me that I had a website, which I hadn't updated in, oh, 2 years!!! So you are actually partially responsible for the page that you see before you now! Thanks for liking my stupid stories... You deserved flowers long before you ever met me.

Jules Rock on Macadoo's and hell yeah in the Jesus is Lord Van!!! You are my female boy scout friend, and you are totally kick-ass!!! You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for, and I'm glad I've got you as a buddy! We will go and conquer Virginia and pave the entire state!!!!

X Yeah, you and I, my friend, are like two peas in one big pod... Somehow we never got together until now, and what a crazy load it is, considering you and I are like twins(except you have muscles and I'm a wiry little punk... and you have hair)... Viva New Orleans!!!!!! Viva St. Louis!!!!!! Viva the landry place where I climbed into the dryer and you guys turned the mofo on!!!! Thanks for saving my ass with a railroad crossing sign!!!

Scarlet What can I say to you!!! You are this incredible gal that will take on whatever the world throws at her... Love yah sweetie!

Elizabeth The most moral person I know!!! And the only person who's morality is unquestionable in my book! You are powerful beyond your own recognition, and I tip my hat to you, young lady!

Angel Thank you, not only for being my mentor, but also for being a friend... For being family... One day you will get a call from me saying, "Want to meet me for dinner on Tuesday night?" You will say, "Where?" and I will say, "Dublin." Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your youth, even though you're twice my age... thanks for the girl advice; we know I needed a lot... And thanks for all the lessons involving oranges, those ones are my favorites...

Luna KICK ASS, FATTY!!!

Megan Two years older, sis, and you were always the one with the pretty smile damn it!!! Thanks for trying to keep me from being a geek, even if you never succeeded. Thanks for introducing me to Mike and Joe, because, well, they rule... Oh and thanks for letting me use your room for storage while you're away at school, that's pretty awesome of you... I know that I'm not the easiest bro to have, and that I'm not exactly the perfect fit to your lifestyle, but thanks for loving me and acceoting me anyways.

Debby and Andre My favorite cajun family, even if you aren't bayou dwelling yats! you guys really are awesome, and even if you weren't, I'd still love you... I can't begin to describe how much what you guys have is what I hope to have myself, someday. I love you guys!

Jax You are the greatest niece anyone could have... i'm very happy to be your uncle bubby because you RULE! Once you learn how to talk and do all that crazy stuff, we'll have to take off for some remote country and find buried treasure and hide it from the locals! I'm in the process of finding a mini-fedora for you! Love yah, petite...

Mama You're my mom... I love that you're my mom, and that you act like you're my mom. I love the fact that you're a witchy woman, and that I inherited some of that from you... What else can I say except thanks for the Orthodontics... Oh and thanks for carrying me around for nine months and then birthing me... I REALLY appreciate that!!!

Dad Don't know what you're doing, or where you are, but I miss you pops... I'll see you again someday...
