I think I owe a lot of people here an apology. I started out being fun (I think) but I turned into a big jerk at the end. I was a pretty big drug addict at the time and it took me several years to get clean. I'm now drug free. For about 6 years now. I'm happily married, have a new baby (3 year old) and I have a good job. I just want to say I'm sorry to anyone I was rude to in the past. Especially the Disney guy!

I'm just amazed you still have the same avatar. You used to go through them. You were always one of my favorites though.Evo said:HE LIVES! Hey tribdog! Wow, glad to hear things are going well.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to come visit you. You'll have to give a blanket and a spot on your couch, but that's okay right?Borek said:

People told me to stop changing my avatar, they liked this one, I liked the Mantis of the Apocalypse.tribdog said:
