Here's To You(To All My Friends)

What's up boys and girls! Let me first say that this won't be your typical Yodaism that I usually send out because I'm directly speaking to you guys. Secondly, this won't be "Yoda" speaking to you it will be me, plain ole' Dante that you've gotten to know and grown to love...hopefully. Anyways, about 9 years ago I started a journey that began after I graduated High School in 1996 and it wasn't until 2 years ago that I started sharing my thoughts with friends and so far you've enjoyed them. Why am I telling you this? Well because after the 1st Yodaism there were 298 that came right after that and now this Yodaism marks the 300th edition. So, what better way to say thank you than to give a shout out to all my friends.

To my friends in myspace and friendster: Thank you for not deleting me from your friends lists and may we have a great cyberspace friendship for years to come. To Ed, you and I have known each other since back in our Bellview Middle School, as well as, the Fil-Am days. Now that you're retiring from being a publicist, come back to the place where it all began for you which is Pensacola. To Michelle Haro, I wish you best of luck in finding the guy that will make you truly happy one day, plus I stick by all that I said about you whether it be mostly right or wrong. To Ashley, I'm glad you found the guy of your dreams and may it last a lifetime. Oh, one more thing keep on writing because a piece of me truly rubbed off on you.

To the asylum crew past and present. You guys have not only been my friends and current/ former employees, but you've also been like family. When I first started at the asylum 9 years ago, I was a quiet, wet behind the ears 19 year old kid who. BUT that all changed after a verbal fight between 3 former co-workers who had me so angry that my best friend had to take me outside and cool me off. From that point on, I changed it was a change for the better. To Germaine, Val, and Rose you ladies brightened up the asylum. To Ms. Angie and Ms. Cindy, I consider you two mentors who taught me to be a leader. To Cheryl, a big oohra to you. To the asylum brotherhood knuckle ups and heads to you guys. But most of all to Ducky and Biggie, my running buddies from the start, you both are and will always be my bros.

Special shout outs to the S4LP, GH Nation, and to "my kids". To the S4LP, you guys are a part of my past, which has seen its good times and bad times. To the GH nation, you were guys that actually read what I wrote/sent to you two where many of you actually printed them out and kept them which I do greatly appreciate. To "my kids", thanks for giving me great stories that have made people laugh and cray. To everybody, I've said many times before to those who are asking and have asked for my advice, when matters of love/life get complicated simply follow your heart and it will hopefully lead you in the right direction. To all my friends, as well as, those I forgot to mention, here's to you and in the immortal words of 90's pop culture icons Bartles and James I simply say thank you for your support.
