First and foremost I would like to take this opportunity to say that I love you all and am glad to have gotten to know all of you. These past few years were some of the most enjoyable I've had thanks to you guys. I can't think of any people that I would have rather spent my highschool years with. You're great and I'll never forget you, you've left more of a mark on me then I would have thought possible. 

Secondly I'd like to express my regret that I could not have gotten closer to many of you and that for whatever reason I couldn't say how much you meant to me before now. I greatly desire to have people I can talk to and be close with, and I wish that I could have become better friends with most of you. I know that all too often I said things that were very harsh and made myself seem uncaring and distant. I wish I could have shown you guys the nicer side of me that cares very much about his friends. I'm not saying that I didn't mean most of the 'harsh' things I said, I generally did (although due to recent contemplation I would disagree with my past self on some of his points, but thats not important here), but I hate that I never seemed to say anything BUT harsh things. There were many nice and complementary things I thought but never really said. I don't know why I didn't, it kinda felt wierd for me to be nice I guess but thats ridiculous and I don't know why I was like that. I'm telling you now though that I do care about you guys and like you very much. I'd like to repeat myself and make sure you guys know that I love you, and I'm always gonna be there if any of my friends need something. 

I'm gonna miss these days. If I had my way we'd all stay together for many years to come...but I guess we gotta go so I can only hope that I keep in touch with everyone. Please feel free to talk to me for any reason, even if we haven't really talked in a while. If you're ever bored or need someone to talk to about something I'll listen. 

Well, that said, I wish everyone good luck with whatever they are going to be doing in the future. So long.

And speaking of which, I want to personally thank Larry for that message he posted on my site. The message was heartfelt, though I didn't know you had my password, Larry...you jerk. Just for that, you'll have to shave the 'L' into the back of your head before you go to CSU. Alright, that's all for today.

Quote of the Day - Colette

I am going away to an unknown country where I shall have no past and no name, and where I shall be born again with a new face and an untried heart.

Lyrics of the Day - "Why Can't I" by Liz Phair

This is, this is just the beginning.
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it.

As far as the evening went, I grabbed a bite to eat with Larry, Trevor, and Katy, which was very nice... It's making me kind of sad to be having these "Final Dinners" with people... Last night with a good amount of my friends, and then today. It's really setting in now that we're all going our seperate ways, perhaps to never cross paths again. The goodbyes in the guestbook and whatnot just add to this feeling of leaving behind the past. I mean, I want to move forward to and through my college life, but high school is a hard chapter to close. I guess it's just because I've poured out so much of myself into my friends, and I have grown so much because of them, and so now I feel like I'm losing a lot of what I've gained. I guess I just don't want to bid farewell. Alright, that's all for now.

Quote of the Day - George Moore

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. 

Image of the Day Here's a shot of Ashley from prom... She's always been one of those people I can always count on if I really need someone to talk to. That's all I'll say for now, I don't want to get depressed about my friends leaving. Hope you have a rockin' birthday, Ashley!

Quote of the Day - Madeleine L'Engle

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.

Greeting Card Saying of the Day - via Becky

"Because I love the stars so deeply, I can never fear the night." 

Image of the Day Not only is she the half-sister of my friend and roommate Steve-O, Chelsea is also part of the reason all of you out there in internet land get your daily dose of therosser.  Oh, and by the way, the lovely letter "o" in the current logo came from a picture Chelsea drew.

Shakespeare Excerpt of the Day - Prospero in Act 4, Scene 1 of The Tempest

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, 
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and 
Are melted into air, into thin air: 
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, 
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, 
The solemn temples, the great globe itself, 
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, 
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, 
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff 
As dreams are made on; and our little life 
Is rounded with a sleep.
