Well- yes- that is very true- sentimental - yes- that is me- and I am not ashamed of it one bit. I can get teary eyed over things that touch my soul , over the good things that humanity CAN do, seeing folks be good to one another(YES , EVEN THAT HAPPENS), and I can have my moments of clarity about the people around me and in the world.Some of you all know this about me ,mainly from private in-boxes or text messages. Some of you may just now be learning this about me- the Horrordude! Well- here where I say "if you dont like a horrordude being sentimental then delete yourself now" ! Well with all that being said- I just want to again- thank so many folks for the friendships we have , and the kinship we have. Friends that have supported me- stood by me- corrected me- chewed my ass when Ive been wrong about something (with a genuine care and love)-some have come to my defense- some have stood by silently and let me fight the battles life can bring. Some of these friends are my horror friends- some hate horror- but I want to publicly thank them for everything- for being a friend (in each of their own ways)- and even had the courage at times to just say -"John I have no idea what you should do"- that takes guts ! So- here I go- so many folks- so just humor me- and know that we may all not like each and every one of us- or even some of these friends may not like another of my friends- but get over it- all of you are equally important to me and have in some way- made me happy to call you friend-so (drum roll)- ahahahaa-

Some of these friends are old from younger years- and some are newer folks- but in some way shape or form- you have each- have made my life a little easier- a little brighter- no matter how trivial or how big , in some way- each and everyone of you have been there for me! I want to make sure you all know- that I thank you for that! I am proud to call you friend- today,tomorrow and way back when and just the other day! THANK YOU EVERYONE- I HAVE TRULY BEEN BLESSED- TO HAVE MET AND TO KNOW EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

ReplyDeleteomg-- Char--- this is amazing-- TY --- so many folks do everything they can to be miserable, to cause strife, to just make everyone's life harder- but you , and the folks above- have been just the opposite- I know we are not perfect- but I know that the folks above, have to me at least , have been sincere and do anything they can to make life good- and show support for me and others!
