"peacing out"

-gabe

thanks are in order

i would like to thank any and everyone who has in some form told me goodbye in these last few weeks. it has meant alot to me to hear from and see all of you.

its strange that i've spent the last five years of my life trying to find a way to move away from all of this. and now that i have my way out, i'm finding millions of reasons to stay. i am not staying. so, don't go about and try to make that happen. i'm just saying, hey. i love ya. yeah, ok, there. i said it.

i love you all. and i'm gonna miss you. ok. you happy now? and don't tell mom i said that, because she'll use it against me. you know how she is.

but yeah. its been a rough weekend. the visit to baton rouge was amazing. i do believe that i have the best friends that anyone on earth could ever ask for. they are them. i am me. and we are, well, us. i'll miss them the most. it was rough to let that go. it is strange. i've called baton rouge home for over five years. and now its just a place. it isn't home. not anymore. i am now simply a visitor.

and then, the party here at mom and dad's house was amazing. the turnout was much better than expected. especially since the original party was all but cancelled because of Hurricane Ike.

there is still much to do. and i'm sure more that won't get done.

but i'll keep everyone updated as the insanity unfolds.
