wow. almost 24 hours later, and i still can't put it all into words. The grand finale of five of the best years of my life, all wrapped up into the single greatest show that i have ever been to, ever. It's gonna be hard to top what went down last night. 900 kids from different parts of the world, singing together so loud that it almost drowned out the band. I had goosebumps the entire time. It was the first time in five years that i have ever been nervous before we've gone on stage. Incredible is the only way i can describe what i felt last night.
as i've mentioned, last night was my last show with the dead unknown. I don't think that it has completely hit me yet, but it's starting to sink in now. i've been thinking about the past five years all day long, and i can't help but smile. the good has always outweighed the bad, even with the black cloud involved. In the past five years, i've met several people whom i consider life long friends, all of whom i would not have met if it were not for this band. So, to Tera, Jason, Blake, Francesca, Michelle, Jesse, Sunshine, Justin, Timm, Andy, Baker, Spencer, Sy, Lindsay, Lucas,Conrad,Amber and anyone else that i may have forgotten-thanks for making my last night with the band one that i will carry with me in my heart forever.
And to my brother, my best friend, the one person whos advise i value most, thanks for giving me the chance in the first place. I love you more than you will ever know.
that will be all
