*wakes up* Oh? Is it time for another Alex8 appreciation thread? Goody--we know how much he LOVES them...:biggrin1: Seriously, though, and this is no bullshit...I wish I had half the brains, half the wit (no comments, it's too easy---work for them!), 1/3 the looks, 1/2 the body, and 2/3 the dick. Alex overall is just an amazing human being, and I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to share some words and ideas with him through this site. If I got nothing else from this site, it would still be worth a gold membership just to be able to share ideas with him. I know he hates sap, but I'm afraid he will have to deal with it. Blame whatever forces made him the man he is today, for he is truly a diamond in a sea of coal.....all he shares in common is the basic carbon component..:tongue: If I could ba asured the world would fall into the hands of him and people like him, I would die content that the world would definately be a better place than I left it. You may not like, or even get his sense of acerbic wit sometimes, but that comes not from bad behavior on his part, but a closed mind on yours. Here's to you, Alex. Whatever pain you have endured to be who you are today, have truly fired a diamond, something to be treasured and held in great value. May you find the happiness, success, love, and joy you deserve. May you find someone truly worthy of you. Although two of your magnitude would be a pretty miraculous event in this world.:biggrin1:
