One Hundred Posts!

Whoa. This is my hundredth post. How crazy is that? That's like... a lot of my rambling, ranting, and raving.

And you've been here through it all? I'm so touched!

Oh. I have so much hype over my move to Florida. It's ridiculous. I'm so stoked that things are working out for me to go after all. I could go on and on about how exciting this all is.

Or about how unreal it feels. Despite actually working on getting everything in order for my move, I don't think the reality of it has quite sunk in.

But I did secure a place to stay today, so that was the last of the things keeping this from becoming official.

Yes. I could talk forever about this whole Florida business, but I won't.

Instead, I'd like to offer my gratitude to my good friends. You know who you are, and I know that maybe two of you will actually read this, but I'ma thank you anyway.

In no particular order... my thanks to Brian for always being there. Like, doesn't really matter if you've had a crappy day or week, you're still there to talk with. Also, for being so good looking. Also, "Strictly Sports." Sucks we haven't hung out much in a long time, but my thanks for your constant awesomeness all the same.

My thanks to Marcus for listening even when I have the stupidest things to complain about. Also, for countless Taco Bell runs. Also, for being my clone. Also, for Coheed and Cambria. Seriously, thanks for being one of my closest and most trusted friends. It's impossible to really capture that in a short thank you.

My thanks to Nate for somehow being the guy who persuades me to do really stupid things when everyone else is all "don't do it." I still blame you (nobody said I was fair in casting blame) for Exodus and even Florida. Thank you for pushing me to do things outside my comfort zone when I'm riding the fence.

My thanks to Riley for not having a life outside the internet. I jest, of course, but it really is uncommon for me to be online and not having an insane, yet totally awesome, conversation with you about whatever. Thanks for always being fun to be around and caring (even on your down days). Also, thanks for reminding me that I still have a long ways to go in my pursuit of awesomeness.

My thanks to Zak for pretty much defining "e-brother." You never cease to challenge me in my relationship with Christ; it's nice to know I can always count on a decent kick in the nuts (metaphorically, of course, and in Christian love, too!) when I get off track. You also provide one of the best rivalries (in a good way) I've ever had.

There are, of course, many more of you that deserve thanks, but I can only type so much before I know you will stop reading. If you count me among your friends, and I you, then my great gratitude to you for sharing life with me.

Here's to the next one hundred posts!
