(no subject)
I promise I'm not going to write in this thing again for the next month, 'cause twice in a week is a little too much, but I'm going to spend a few minutes ranting. Unless you're pretty close to me, you probably won't understand where I'm coming from here, just a word of warning before you devote a minute to reading this only to discover that you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of figuring out what I mean. Now for some shout outs, if you will. And you better, or I'll beat you. Kidding, but really...I'm 6'1'' and about 170 lbs, so that makes me bigger than most of you.
To Roger Dittert- Lots of memories man (like before the Steelers game a couple of weeks ago, the drunk Bengals fan...), most of 'em pretty damn good, with the exception of the 6 hours of vomiting at Cedar Point. I couldn't even begin to tell you how cool the feeling is to be baptized by one of your friends, to hold that connection for the rest of my life. On the basketball court, you and I are probably the two most competetive people that I could imagine, but it's cool to be able to turn that off afterwards and not have one of us pissed at the other for beating them. Especially lately, since I've beat your ass in 4 straight games now...just kidding. Sure, you and I have had our fair share of time being pretty pissed off at each other, including recently, but I know nothing will come between us in the end. "I wonder where that fish did go...a fish, a fish, a fishy, ohhhhh!"
To Anastasia Kruse- I'm positive that you don't read these, but I'll get this out anyway. It's impossible, but I really wish I could go back and do things differently in our relationship. You were a great Christian, a great tennis player (considering I never beat you), and for about two months, a great girlfriend. Nothing will change the time we had together, though, and I just wanted to let you know that you're an awesome person. My biggest regret is that I immaturely stopped talking to you after we broke up. I really hope that we can continue being friends, and I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
To Jarvis- A few days ago, my mom reminded me of when we first met about 10 years ago. Fourth grade, Ms. Hutchison's class- you and I pretty much hated each other because we competed to see who could get the best grades. I'm kinda glad we both grew past that though, and realized that I am truly superior (just joking man). Just as with Roger, you and I haven't always gotten along since that time either. But you put up with me, and I can honestly say that you have had a significant impact in my life. Thanks dawg.
To David Alexander- You're probably one of the most loyal friends I could have asked for- I mean who else stuck by my side at the hospital after my concussion? Unfortunately, you and I wanted pretty much nothing to do with one another through sophomore year. Now that you're about 500 miles away, one can only look back and remember the good times, and there were a lot, with the same exception as with Roger in Cedar Point. Keep on keepin' on man.
To Courtney McLaughlin- We went a few months without even talking, and that was retarded. Sorry 'bout that. You've stuck by me too, and though we don't really get the chance to talk anymore, I want to let you know that I still consider you one of my best friends, and hopefully you can say the same. "I'm Tiger Woods! Hahahaha I'm Tiger Woods! Honeycomb's big, yeah yeah yeah! It's not small, no no no!"
There are plenty more people who have had a genuine influnce in my life, but I wanted to point these 5 out real quick. Thanks for puttin' up with my crap and everything else...yinz know what I mean (to borrow a phrase from Bill Cowher).
Peace guys.
