Here I am again, to whoo you with my words and excite you with my emotion. I don't want to waste time with a long drawn out intro so let's get on with the show.

When your world seems to be crumbling and your hopes and dreams incinerated, the world seems like it could swallow you up and spit you out. Your heart falls to your feet and awaits the terrible tap dance that uses it as the dance floor. Then out of no where swoops in a group of super-like heros known world wide. They stand for fun, hope, good-times, and love. Everyone knows the groups name and everyone jumps for joy when they arrive. They are known simply as......

One of my best friends once told me (she knows who she is and she knows I appreciate this), "When one thing goes wrong you feel like your life is falling apart, but you still have your friends." She was so right. My love life has been what many would say...ummmmm......uhhhhh....well, not up to par lately, but when it seemed bleek my "Super-Friends" swooped in and saved me from the gloom and doom.

They have helped me keep my head up and my mind off things. My stress level would be so much higher if they hadn't used their "Super-soothing" powers on me (partying, hanging, talking, and anything to keep my head in other places). I always did let one thing get in the way of all other things in my life, but thanks to their help I haven't done this much this time. We have done fun things every weekend and on many nights of the weeks. Sure there may have been a few days of going to work with a hangover as a reault but we don't have to drink to have fun. Alot of the time we don't anyway. I have been to see more bands on the weekends, played in more dart tournaments, and had more quality talks with all my friends in the last month in a half than I have since I turned 21.

My friends won't let me sit at home alone. If they know I am or use their "Super-Coopedaddy-detecting-sense" to figure out that I am I recieve a phone call saying "If you are sitting there starting to think, then I suggest you get your ass here before we come drag your ass here." That makes me feel good. I like to know that my friends care that much about me and I hope they know I care that much about them too. I have said it many times and I will say it again. If it weren't for my friends and family I would never have became what I have. When any of them brag on me I hope they know they are bragging on themselves as well, and that is fine with me because, as you can see, I brag on them too.

To Bootie, Obviously nothing can keep us down. We always have been and always will be best friends. You are great father to the little guy that you made my god son and I smile everytime I see you two together.

To Toni (T-dawg), What can I say? Two of my absolute best friends together and bringing another best bud into this world for me. Plus giving me a love for ferrets was cool too.

To Pat, We didn't always get along but when we started to in High School you have always been there for me. Like the Christmas Eve when I was completely down and you took me out to bust snow drifts. That is still one of the most memorable Christmas ever. Thanks for being a best friend.

To Nicole, We haven't known each other as long as everyone else but damn we have gotten to know each other. Our talks are always great and we always have fun. You know you have became a best friend in a hurry.

To Oz-man, I remember that little 14 year old that tagged around on those guys nights out and fit in perfect. Sure I corrupted you alot but we had a great time. Thanks for always being there, you will always know where we stand.

To Justin, What can I say here, except you were always the one who talked me down. You were always the one that would drive me around to calm me down. You were always the one that would let me fall asleep on your couch at 10:00 and let me sleep till the next morning. You too are a best friend.

To Sally, When I needed to understand the woman mind, you showed me that no one did, not even a woman, just kidding, you were always there to help me understand about everything, thanks for being a best friend.

To Meeker, just like all the other here you are one of the coolest people I know. You give advice when you can but you also know how to listen and that is something that is great. Plus you had a hand in getting me hooked on motorcycles. Mom still cusses you. Thanks for being a best friend.

To Dusty, We had some great times didn't we? You have made me proud and I always know that you will be there for me. I hope you know the same of me. You are always a best friend. Keep on being you.

To Alan, No this is not just because you are black (inside joke). We have not known each other long but you have quickly became a best friend. You have been able to relate to me, even though I am a cracker (haha), and help me open my eyes. Thanks for being there.

To Bill and Janette (you know who I mean bud), Remember all those times we busted into the "haunted" houses and hung out at the Car wash until 5:00 A.M. We may not run around as much anymore but you are still a best friend.

To Crystal, Hey everyone has their ups and downs, right? Well no matter where we stand, you know me better than anyone and you will always be one of my best friends. I know the future is very bright for you and I will support you in any way you need. Make me proud like you always do, Crytle Mae.

To all of my others forgive me for not mentioning you here, You all mean a lot to me and please don't think differently. You all will always hold a huge place in my heart. Thank you for being there for me and I will always be here for you. Keep it real and stay cool.

Later,

I may just be on a Jason Biggs kick, but he graces the movie of the moment two times in a row. This time he (Paul) has graduated and heads off to college in New York. His small town background does not mesh well with the lifestyles of many of his peers. He quickly falls for a girl in his Lit class named Dora (Mena Suvari). Unfortunately she is dating the Professor. After Paul is kicked out of his dorm by his lying roomates he moves to an animal hospital where his ex-roommates con him into throwing a party, while he goes to the Everclear concert with Dora. Unfortunately she ends up at the party and is slipped some Mickeys and from there he finds her the next day. The story really begins there and is great with a touching ending. Proving the nice guy doesn't always finish last. A great story and I really enjoyed. I would recommend to anyone.
