but seriously... i've just begun my 6th year as a participating member of this website. it's been a helluva trip, one i certainly could lament and/or celebrate to no reasonable end in my usual blur of half-decipherable wurds. but i made a halfass attempt to do something like that last year, for my 5 year anniversary & i never came close to finishing it (go figure), so i'll simply send out a few brief but heartfelt thanks & be done with the self-indulgence.

i owe immeasurable gratitude to everyone who's supported me here, befriended me, shared a few kind or helpful wurds, or even just paid attention to whatever the hell i've been doing. very special thanks to Beth, Wy?, Linette, Suchi & Iggie (for encouragement & friendship during my earliest days here); Bryan, Angela, Emanaia & the Lady Catherine Blake, along with everyone else who's been generous to me over the last half-dozen years. you know who you are & you're truly appreciated...

a few more quick self-indulgent thots, then i'm done, promise... i never wrote a wurd in the hopes of attracting fanatic attention to myself, or to make any grandiose statements, change the world, or any other dumb shit like that. whether speaking to countless masses or merely screaming into an old garbage bag, all i've ever wanted is to practice the purest, most raw expression. so my profound thanks to everyone who's made me feel at home here, granted me a few moments of their time, or basically anything else that ever made me feel like i'd done something worthwhile... alright, enough with the feelings & such - i've still got an eternity of work left to do. the world isn't going to vandalize & cannibalize itself, after all. let's burn...
