The time is 4:00 early morning. As I lie in bed (thinking about LuAnn) in yet another hotel room somewhere in the middle of New York City, I try to relax, but something troubles me. I can't seem to sleep. (LuAnn keeps playing with kid Nicky! LOL) Why?! Is it because for hours ago, my favorite football team lost again for the third time in a row? Or maybe it's because
next door, AJ's playing some of the new mixes of our songs. Suddenly it hits me. (Wait a minute?! I thought he dumped Willabeast?!?!?!?!?!) The deadline has arrived for our thank you's and I'm late. I remember specifically asking Billy to remind me but he forgot. I guess he realized how depressed I was after the game and he wanted to let me cool down.
Anyways, how could I forget this? I mean, hey, this is the one time you can pay respect to where it's due. So...God, Jesus, I've got nothing but love for You. You're the bomb. I thank You because You deserve and hey - You're the one who's workin overtime.
Mom, I know we've been through a lot, but you're right up there with God. I love you with all of my heart, and my stomach does too! "No one cooks like you."
Pops, you're my best friend and this album I dedicate to you and mom. I love you "Captain Crown" (Is Bob a drinker???)
Aaron, you're still a little squirt and I love your album, but no matter how big you get, I'll always kick your butt. (Ah, sibling love!)
Leslie, you're getting too pretty lately. (EW! Sick!!!!) That's not good. Now I'm gonna have to fight off the boys. Thanx! I need more trouble. Ha!
Bubba, I'm sorry I'm so busy. I love you and take care of Rocky. (?)
Angel, your name says it all. I'm gonna be watching you. (How? He's gone all the damn blessed time!) Hey - tone down your temper sis. Love ya!
Ginger, you're too cool for comfort - in other words, you rock.
Grandma C., you always respected me and loved me before anything happened, and I'm grateful for having your blood in me. (All together now....AWWWWWWWWWW) I love you.
Grandma G., you're on the borderline of crazy and artistic (Ah, Nick, ever the sentimentalist!), and I have to thank you because I wouldn't have what's in me if it weren't for you. Hey - I wouldn't be in this business if I wasn't a little crazy. Ha ha! I love you!
Now I'd like to thank the four most important people. Howie, I'm always gonna pick on you til the day I die. (Cause even before Nick hit puberty, Howie's voice was higher!) It's because I love you.
Kevin, I look up to you (because you're the only one as tall as me!) because of how strong you are. You've been through a lot, and I respect that. Love ya!
AJ, you're a freak (thanks for the late breaking news Nick!) but that's cool, cause so am I, just not at your level. Love ya bro.
Brian, we've been through a lot. You've taught me so much (such as how to rub one off?????) and to me, you are my brother.
I'd like to thank The Firm for fixing this slightly broken wagon that hadn't quite given up yet. All we needed was a little oil in these wheel, and you were the WD-40 we needed. Yee Haw!! (Don't think I'll touch that one!!!)
Last, but not least, I would like to thank our fans for being there through the ups and downs of our career. After everything is said and done, we know you'll always be there. To everyone who was looking for their names, I thank you because no matter what, you were a part of our lives. (And I wanna thank Mandah for getting the hell out of my life!) It's now 6:13 and I'm going to bed (LuAnn needs some lovin!). Good night!
