Don Mann: Focusing on my Craft

Saturday, Jan. 08, 2005 - 4:33 a.m.

I've decided (after much consideration) to enscribe my appreciation for my friends here tonight. Call it...a seasonal shout-out.

Clint - You have come so far, from the naive little goody-two-shoes to the ever-enlightening spiritual guru you've come to be accepted as by myself and not just a few others. I'd be proud if I knew I had any part in who you've become, and I encourage you to continue to grow.

Jeannie - You are forever in my heart; for your grace, generosity, and care. I respect you and your opinions greatly, you are incredibly intelligent and full of insight. I love you deeply, and always will.

Gabe - So much has happened to us all in these last years, and through it all you've kept a reliable and familiar persona. You have surpassing intellect when you choose to let it show, and an incredible knack for being completely and entirely real...as vague as that sounds, I think you know what I mean.

Jocelyn - No one has ever so quickly changed my opinion of them in so short a time...perhaps I met you at the worst of possible times, perhaps our friendship was intended as such. All that I know is that now I love you, you are truly one of the best friends I've got and will probably ever have. You are an incredible artist, and have a beautiful personality incomparable to any I've encountered.

Jen - You never cease to make my worst of times into the best. You've shown me respect and care beyond any I could ask for, and I can only hope to one day find a way to return the favor...thanks for being there for me when I needed you most.

Dean - You've progressed your character on an entirely different level than my own, and though I sense our lifestyles may be vaguely similar, I cannot help but feel we may never be as close as we once were. Nevertheless, I still care for you greatly and will be there whenever you need me, because I know you'd do the same.

Jeremy - You are so fucking Korean, lvl 45 already wtf you suck I hate you. Thanks for sucking my life into WoW as well you son of a bitch, stop kicking so much ass at everything you do.

HOLY SHIT IT'S FUCKING 5 AM.
I'll have to wrap this up tomorrow.
