Ooo, thanks to Uncle Mike for reminding me to give an explicit thanks over the web... Still got a couple of minutes left. I can do this... =)
Let's see... Thanks to my... Super Secret group of friends... Always the best guardians and teachers in the world, since the very first day I set foot on NJIT, that blasted campus... I couldn't have asked for more. I've got a great set of brothers, friends, heroes, and resources...
Thanks for 812, my steadfast crew and my home away from home.
Thanks for... Vision. Knowledge. Wisdom. Experience. Patience...
Thanks for the lessons. For teaching me that life isn't easy, but regardless, we choose to fight. Otherwise, there would be no life left to live.
Thanks to the purest fire, who melted away all of life's ills and gave me something to do for two and a half semesters... And when I say fire, I can pin it down to that one person. Thanks, one person. Remember, I'll fight for you.
Thanks for Adam, for such easy words, that make it feel like we always pick up where we leave off, never skipping a beat... That's a best friend to me, if there ever was one.
And thanks to the hero of heroes, for saving my life, coming to my rescue, and not ever giving me an ill feeling about it, other than my own stress and nervousness.
Thanks to friends who seem to exercise the most patience with me, so that we might both grow.
And a special shoutout to seven sex machines who I wouldn't trade the world for. Each of you, mos def a special place in my heart. All the struggles, pain, however moderate and funny, causing trouble, hacking, breaking, ocean listening, painting... The best class, ever, definitely. Two veterans, two asians, two second floor, and two Chrises. And two to the wayside, but always honorable. Sounds like an excellent formula. To the only group of people that I've ever managed to call brother, to date.
And that's ever me. I don't know what else there is left to say thanks for. But I'd say I've been doing a pretty good job of letting people know how I feel about them, more now than before... Hopefully I'll keep it up.
I'm in it for me, ultimately. But who isn't. Yet, in some section of my mind, or rather heart, I'd say I'm in it for you, because your welfare is mine and that's as much empathy as I can muster. =) Haha...
Thanks to those who give me life. I'm trying my best to save the world and give back to you.
