(I didn't know where to put this really, so if you need to move it, go ahead)
Dear Reader,
When things begin they always come to an end, with or without a conclusion that was once sought. Along the way, with the ones we love, we stumble, collect ourselves, and move on. Our eyes, always on the future, knowing we will make it to the large beyond with those we hold in the confines of our gentile arms. The day that is going to arrive seems so close, and deep inside we feel that nothing could stop us from leaping past the thin red stripe of the line and making the finish. Our loved ones, look into our eyes and know that eternity will surely last, and that the fires from the underworld shall never rub against our pumping hearts. Bursting at the seams we smile with affection, and our minds grow three sizes larger as we gaze deeply with a glaze into one another’s soul. The one, that brings the thoughts of a never-ending relationship to the gallows of our delusions. Though with a start there is always a finish or a step that is far too wide and deep for any man to cross, it is with this movement, this one single frame, that all you wished for can crash because of a cause. While the cause is efficient to your needs, the cause may be all but one more mystery to the soul of the one you love. In time, my friends, it is obvious to see the reason behind the crash, but first one must observe the wreckage. It is not without a simple movement, that nothing could come of something. For every action, there is a reaction, either it be positive or a burning ring of negative. No amount of love can free your soul from seeing a mistake so large and so groping that one could not run from it or wish for the better for the one they adore. This is why, after a year of happiness, after a year of growing, and after a year of a new life with the one I love; I must take the leave that has always been closing in.
Meeting Joshi was something totally unsuspected, something far beyond belief. For it seemed unreal to meet the man behind the mask, the only man who had ever appreciated what I believed in and what I felt. For countless days we conversed back in forth, our replies taking hours if not minutes to be answered, but time did not play a part. We as soon to be friends only wished to hear the others opinion. It was with this, that we continued onwards, and finally on a very slow moving day we met, maybe not face to face. Yet, we met in a fashion where our words could shine quite frequently and give away all that we felt in but a seconds worth. It was at this same moment that I met the pure heart and soul of Joshi, its shining lights flashing in my eyes, showing me the angelic figure which I would soon call my own best friend. Throughout time Joshi grew in my heart, and as I grew in his, our words and time with each other seemed to change. From talking of the world, to talking of our lives, to talking of our love and it was at that last subject that Rage gave us the heartfelt opinion that we were like brothers. With that one word, Joshi and I declared ourselves to hold something as brotherly love. Though our faces may have never met, though we may have never seen or heard each other, we loved each other like a part of our family. It never mattered that we lived so far away, our love was to strong to have been beaten down by distance. All we needed was one another; all we ever needed was each others views and opinions. The fuel was your perfection, your utter greatness Joshi, your kind heart that always must help someone. When no one is in need, you will find someone and make sure that they smile, even when the smile may be impossible to achieve. Remember, when we used to be each others angel? Oh how the times have changed, so wicked and fast, and how your views and mine alone have been molded into something that we can not stead on.
As time ran throughout our relationship, we did not change fully, but our ideas and motives did. And it seemed that every time I tripped our stumbled you were there to point it out. While honesty is the best policy, some honesty is best left at rest, for if love was blind, why were my mistakes always seen so purely? I, out of all truth, have yet to see you Joshi make a mistake, for your heart is far too large to trip and fall. When you sense a wrong doing you will correct it, Joshi that is always right fights for the best tomorrow. I feel that you have given me so much and I have done my best to give you what I can. You have told me long ago, that I helped you start drawing, but either way it was in your blood. If I have opened your mind, I can smile and look up and feel that I have helped my little brother in a way I’ve always wanted to. I feel though, that I shall never be able to repay you for all you have given to me. Without you, my heart that had turned into ice would have never been thawed, and I would have still retreated into my own shadows. Without you, life would still be black and I suffocated under my own delusions of right and wrong. With you, everything seems better and all that was sad, all that has hurt me seems not to exist. For, what you have given me is a life and a soul to live with. If it wasn’t for you, if it wasn’t for all you ever did I may not be here, I would have nothing to hold onto. Things have happened to me, and because of you I fight, I fight everything in honor of your name and your will. To die, without you, to die and leave you would be a sin in my own mind. I made you a promise when this began that I would be with you forever, and you told me the same. As I once wrote, in a poem bestowed to you from my own heart, “Until the end and back again, that’s how long that we will be friends.” That my brother was the spoken truth of all I’ve ever felt, and even after death, if it shall come, I will be with you. No matter what the belief, no matter what I must do, even in my soul, and deep in yours I shall not depart. For what you have done, can not be forgotten, what you have said, can not be unheard, and the smiles you gave me, can not be mirrored.
It is this reason why, as I stare into nothing but a mere glass screen that mimics my thoughts in bold black letters, that I have decided to conclude my journey and give you what I can with my last breath. Joshi, for what its worth, for everything you have said or done, I shall always love you as my brother from the inside out. Deep in my heart, that will one day stop its pumping; your love grows minute by minute. From the second we spoke in real words and phrases, to the mere passing seconds of now my love only grows upwards filling up my thoughts and my dreams. It is now, that I wish to hold you in my arms until the sun and the moon rise no more and tell you how much of a brother you really are. Unfortunately, I am too young to get to hold you, and far too unwise to do such, but for eternity I will dream of doing so. Thanks to you, I can go on living a life that is worth living. Thanks to you, I can finally view the world with smiles and not frowns of morbid. Thanks to you, I can love like I never have before and speak the truth to others. Thanks to you, life seems not so small and the flame never seems to flicker. You have shared with me your views, and you have told me your stories. Joshi you have sat me down and given me many a talk, and you have listened as I tell you adventures from my own life. We have echoed the tales of stories and games played in the past, and together we have drawn and moved forward in our skills. From all of this though, I feel deep inside that I have failed you and that you need something more I can see it in you. You wish for things, that I fear I can not give, and as of such I wish for you to have them and will do my best to let you reach out and embrace the things you need. For, if I shall have to die for you, I will.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My friends, my fellow readers, I give you now advice that I hope can help you in the future, and will let you see your mistakes before they are made. For, I have fallen and now see what I could have done. Friends, if you ever fall in love with a friend, do not hide your feelings, tell them and embrace them. Do not become jealous of your friends others, wish for them utter happiness like I have. Wish that they will have the best in life, and never let a moment pass you by. Spend as much time as you possibly could with them beside you, and let them know that you care. Let your friends know that you will be with them for eternity. Life is short, but love is forever, make sure that those you love, feel the same about you. Never take any second in your life for granted, for it is at these ages of our youth and young adulthood that we must make the biggest choices of our life. Love near, not far, for the farther you love the more you lust to hold. Believe in what your friends say, if problems are arising with others, listen and heed there warning and give them advice. Do not look down on them, and do not single them out, for if you love you will live with who and what they are. If your friend trips or stumbles, lend him a helping hand. Do not be rude to others; never tell someone something they do is not good enough, for it takes time and patience for anything to be completed. Believe in yourself and believe in your friends and enemies, for they to are human and are just like you. We are all the same, and shall never change; you must learn to live with who you are. If power is what you lust for, if victory is what you need, then learn to live with yourself. If you hold the keys to someone’s emotions, make sure that you never break or scratch them, and only start the engine when the time is right. You, do not own anyone else, and they do not own you. You are yourself, and forever shall be yourself; do not allow anyone to dig their claws into you. Fight, for what you believe is right, and never let anyone shove you down. When you are wrong, be willing to admit that you are wrong, and never harm anyone in the process. Listen to others and their needs, and give them all you can in return, for any amount of help is appreciated. Learn to build and guide your patience, and learn to control your anger. Keep your bad side under the mask, and embrace those you despise in love and justice. For, why hurt others, when pain will only return to yourself? We are all human, and this screen does not change that, we are not Yoshis, we are not Furries, we are not Dragons, and we are not creatures of any sort, those are the parts of our mind that we wish to be like. We my friends are humans, and like anyone else, we have emotion. Love, and let love guide your soul, live, and never forget the others that stand beside you. Learn to live with criticism, not everything you do will be good, and learn to forget those who torture your feelings, for in the end they will be dealt the same medicine. If you love anybody, never feel afraid or scared that you love them, no matter who they may be, for love is rare in life and you can not help who you love.
As I have stood beside my brother, I have met many a noble face and many a grand figure. Joshi speaks well and loves all his friends, and he wishes to be with them all at the same time. For, he is one of the greatest and shall always be to me. Luckily, since the day we have met, Joshi has introduced me to many of his friends. All of them veteran YCers, the most committed of those I have ever met. Inside each of them lies a heart of gold, something that is so rare. Running a community is no easy task, but they make it seem like they can conquer it all in a breeze. I have heard stories, and I have seen the outcomes. I have listened to tales of victory and conquest, and I have had the chance to hug those who thrived in them. I’ve met only a few, and feel horrible that I could not meet them all. For the stories I have heard, and the post I have seen lets me know how good a person and each and every one of them is. Joshi has seen the gold hearts in them all, and I to can see the purity that reflects in them all. If a creature such as Yoshi can bring together such a crowd, then this is purely the greatest thing ever. Now, I would like to pay respect to those I have met, and those I have yet to meet.
Blood, while we just meet only two days ago. I have seen the good side in your heart and have listened to some of your stories. Not just that buddy, but you have a humor that is so funny, and makes me laugh. You’re easy to talk to, and you give many a good view. You’re a boxer, and this is something I respect so well about you. The fact that you have said that one must use the mind and not only the fist, this truly goes to show you that you are a good guy in the fact you understand what you do. You have a good heart, and inside a great soul, never lose those buddy and keep them strong. You are one of my great friends, and it only seems that we met, and in all out truth we did. But no matter what, these past few days you have made me a very happy man and kept me strong in the mind. I wish to talk to you more Blood and get to know you; I wish that I could get to see all you are, for I know that it will be one of the greatest things.
Aniki, I have seen your wonderful sprites and listened to you as you cared when I was sick. You were there for me, when I was in my worst times, and I am so sorry we rarely get to talk. Aniki was one of the first friends I ever met of Joshi’s, and I was introduced by Rage, and I thank him so much for letting me meet one of kindest guys around like the other YCers. Aniki is a determined fellow who knows what is right, listen to him and he will speak to you the truth and all goodness that flows through his veins. Without him, Joshi’s game would be in a stand still, Aniki has given me the best sprites I have ever seen, and I thank him so much for all of his hard work, without him I would be nowhere right now.
YW, also we have only just met one another, but either way, it was with you that the ice broke so easily. You and I share similar thoughts and ideas of what should be and what shouldn’t be. You wish to share advice and help those in need, which means you YW have one of the biggest hearts, and I am sure that noble Toshi is the happiest guy alive to be your brother and have a friend as yourself. I wish you the best of luck in the future, for all that you do, and do not worry about things that will come, for in due time all things come to mind. Sometimes, it takes awhile to find a calling, but it will come to you. Your 20 and life is literally getting ready to finally go into drive, but this does not mean you must hurry, have patience and search. Live your life before you sit yourself down, have fun with who and what you are YW, for fun and happiness are so rare these days. You out of anyone know what to do with themselves and have a large heart beating in your chest.
Rage, out of anyone I know, you would be one so addicted to RPing XD! You truly are one of the best at it, and that I am willing to admit. You are strict, but deep down inside of your Rage buddy, you have one of the softest hearts around. Inside you beats a really good man, who when I feel in need, I can talk to. You know when something must be done, and you like Joshi will fight for what you believe is right until you have it, which is a good quality. Keep helping others Rage, and never be afraid to tell anyone you love them. Thanks, for introducing me to others, and thanks for being the one who introduced me and Joshi to the concept of brotherly love. I wish I had more of a chance to talk to you Rage, and I know life has been hard on you buddy, but never look down and think of the positive. For, you have a life and I know you are going to live it to its fullest. Don’t let others drag you down, keep up your smile and share you knowledge with others, and don’t be afraid to ever let that good guy in you shine the brightest.
Tim, while we to just met, I was able to help you with a problem. That meant a lot, that I could help you, and you to seem like you were meant to be a leader, and XD hey look, you happen to be one. You didn’t quite say much, and I can tell you’re a busy guy, but thanks for letting me share with you my advice and thanks for being here for all of these people, that’s what matters the most. Thanks for bringing together, with others, a place where all these awesome people can share their minds and bring forth happiness.
Dennis, Teh, and Graedius, out of any of the three guys I have ever met these take the cake. The kindest, nicest, and most heartfelt group of friends no wonder all three are going to meet one another. I mean heck, look and talk to them, you’ll see exactly what I mean. Teh, is one of the most caring guys to me and Joshi, out of anyone he took his time to help when were in need, and was always willing to share his views and tell me how he was doing and how his trip was. We shared same views on cultures, and he just happened to make me happy when Joshi was away on vacation, which was a very hard thing to do XD. Dennis, OMG… where to possibly start on you buddy. I would be willing to admit that Dennis has always been there for me. Always willing to listen, and deep down he’s one of the cutest most characterstic guys around. He has always been willing to play with me and joke around, and when things got bad, he was the one who cared the most out of anyone I knew, even my own family. Dennis, buddy, you are one of the greatest friends and never forget that. Graedius, while we never got the chance to really talk, I always heard good things about you, and I to could also talk to you about problems I had, and you gave me a good knowledge on how to view things. I always loved your little furry character *snickers* it’s cute, and I’ve always adored you from what I have seen. Together the three of you are the best guys around, and I wish you guys the best luck and happiness on your journey!
Blinx2000, you don’t think I would forget you would I? Of course not, how could I? While we never really talk anymore, and things have happened, and you probably think, “Well he must not like me”. You know, deep down I know you’re a great girl, and I know you to have a heart of gold. Show it off more Blinxy, and think of how to make others happy. Draw your presents and share your wealth of jokes, and never lose that happy side of you that I have seen. Make others happy alright? Because inside of you, I know you are a great girl rearing to get out and make your friends the happiest group of guys and gals around.
Yoshiken, I feel so bad that I never really got the chance to meet you if only once or twice during my time here and with Joshi. The times I met you, you showed me you were a very smart guy with your love of Philosophy, and I hear you watch Paranoia Agent with Anjil, whom I also wished to know better. Watching that show makes you awesome in my book, and anyway you’re Yoshiken, how could you not already be awesome? You sound like a hilarious guy, and it really saddens me that we never got to meet, and I wish deep down that we could’ve and I’m really sorry I missed that chance…
PFY, XD, I would be surprised if your like, hmmm why is he mentioning me? Well there’s good reason, Joshi speaks well of you PFY and out of anyone I know it shows that you really care about YC, and that’s what matters the most. You’re an adult with jobs and a life to run, and a busy man from what I have seen and have been told. Yet you take your time to watch YC like a true Mod should, and that’s exactly what you do. Without you, things would be different and not as good, but luckily when trouble occurs, there is always the gold knight PFY to the rescue to make sure things are alright, so thanks for caring for everyone so much PFY.
Red, thanks for the reviews on all that I wrote and drew and thanks for that just so much you know. Don't worry about spelling my name wrong buddy, thats alright it wasnt bad, just you know... you always looking or reading what I did meant a lot. You to Boo, you would be the only one who took the time to read my story and for that I respect you more than you could possibly imagine.
Toshi, we only met really once, but I wanted to tell you that I have always adored your art and your attitude. You seem like a really great guy, and I'm sorry I never really got to meet you and talk for a long time. I know you got great views, and you know I'll always be a fan of your art, keep it up alright
Dragon, I to out of anyone wanted to say thanks for always caring for me. I feel bad we hardly got to talk, and thanks for caring about me during the storms and what happened to my house that means a lot. Thanks for those pictures you drew me, and thanks for always wishing me the best. I love you a lot as a friend Dragon, thanks so much.
Electric, I may not really know you, but like others we met one day and I got the chance to talk to the girl everyone loves to be with. I thank you for being so nice, and stay funny alright Electric! Keep being your vampire like Yoshi self! XD, Red's a lucky guy, I wish you two the best happiness and luck, and never look down on anything. You electric, were one of the nicest girls I met.
My last words to everyone here, to Joshi… the brother and the one I love, and to the amazing community of YC that surrounds me. Thanks, thanks for all the good times that I got to have and hear about. Thanks for the smiles; you gave me that you never knew about. And thank god you exist, thank you so much that good people are out there in this world. You all have the greatest hearts around and never forget that. I’ll miss you all, and especially you Joshi. The brother, who gave me a life, thanks for everything you ever did for me. Thanks so much for all that I have, and thanks for this happiness, now brother I feel I can live my life… like a bird you mended my wing and now I feel cured as if I have been reopened. *bows and hugs Joshi* *bows to YC* as I said, everything must come to end. I wish Joshi, I could do more for you, and I leave you to this happiness, and I wish for you the best life ever and I know you'll have one. Don't lose hope and don't give up, look in your heart and I'll always be there, I love you Joshi my brother, and I love you all at YC, you have given me happiness, like an arrow to the heart. Everyone here, everybody, every soul, every face, every hand that types the letters, thanks for everything. Thank you SO much.
With love, caring, honor, and a big goodbye,
Contention
Dear Reader,
When things begin they always come to an end, with or without a conclusion that was once sought. Along the way, with the ones we love, we stumble, collect ourselves, and move on. Our eyes, always on the future, knowing we will make it to the large beyond with those we hold in the confines of our gentile arms. The day that is going to arrive seems so close, and deep inside we feel that nothing could stop us from leaping past the thin red stripe of the line and making the finish. Our loved ones, look into our eyes and know that eternity will surely last, and that the fires from the underworld shall never rub against our pumping hearts. Bursting at the seams we smile with affection, and our minds grow three sizes larger as we gaze deeply with a glaze into one another’s soul. The one, that brings the thoughts of a never-ending relationship to the gallows of our delusions. Though with a start there is always a finish or a step that is far too wide and deep for any man to cross, it is with this movement, this one single frame, that all you wished for can crash because of a cause. While the cause is efficient to your needs, the cause may be all but one more mystery to the soul of the one you love. In time, my friends, it is obvious to see the reason behind the crash, but first one must observe the wreckage. It is not without a simple movement, that nothing could come of something. For every action, there is a reaction, either it be positive or a burning ring of negative. No amount of love can free your soul from seeing a mistake so large and so groping that one could not run from it or wish for the better for the one they adore. This is why, after a year of happiness, after a year of growing, and after a year of a new life with the one I love; I must take the leave that has always been closing in.

We have echoed the tales of stories and games played in the past, and together we have drawn and moved forward in our skills. From all of this though, I feel deep inside that I have failed you and that you need something more I can see it in you. You wish for things, that I fear I can not give, and as of such I wish for you to have them and will do my best to let you reach out and embrace the things you need. For, if I shall have to die for you, I will.

My friends, my fellow readers, I give you now advice that I hope can help you in the future, and will let you see your mistakes before they are made. For, I have fallen and now see what I could have done. Friends, if you ever fall in love with a friend, do not hide your feelings, tell them and embrace them. Do not become jealous of your friends others, wish for them utter happiness like I have. Wish that they will have the best in life, and never let a moment pass you by. Spend as much time as you possibly could with them beside you, and let them know that you care. Let your friends know that you will be with them for eternity. Life is short, but love is forever, make sure that those you love, feel the same about you. Never take any second in your life for granted, for it is at these ages of our youth and young adulthood that we must make the biggest choices of our life. Love near, not far, for the farther you love the more you lust to hold. Believe in what your friends say, if problems are arising with others, listen and heed there warning and give them advice.

When you are wrong, be willing to admit that you are wrong, and never harm anyone in the process. Listen to others and their needs, and give them all you can in return, for any amount of help is appreciated. Learn to build and guide your patience, and learn to control your anger.

We are all human, and this screen does not change that, we are not Yoshis, we are not Furries, we are not Dragons, and we are not creatures of any sort, those are the parts of our mind that we wish to be like. We my friends are humans, and like anyone else, we have emotion. Love, and let love guide your soul, live, and never forget the others that stand beside you. Learn to live with criticism, not everything you do will be good, and learn to forget those who torture your feelings, for in the end they will be dealt the same medicine. If you love anybody, never feel afraid or scared that you love them, no matter who they may be, for love is rare in life and you can not help who you love.
As I have stood beside my brother, I have met many a noble face and many a grand figure. Joshi speaks well and loves all his friends, and he wishes to be with them all at the same time. For, he is one of the greatest and shall always be to me. Luckily, since the day we have met, Joshi has introduced me to many of his friends. All of them veteran YCers, the most committed of those I have ever met. Inside each of them lies a heart of gold, something that is so rare. Running a community is no easy task, but they make it seem like they can conquer it all in a breeze. I have heard stories, and I have seen the outcomes. I have listened to tales of victory and conquest, and I have had the chance to hug those who thrived in them. I’ve met only a few, and feel horrible that I could not meet them all. For the stories I have heard, and the post I have seen lets me know how good a person and each and every one of them is. Joshi has seen the gold hearts in them all, and I to can see the purity that reflects in them all. If a creature such as Yoshi can bring together such a crowd, then this is purely the greatest thing ever. Now, I would like to pay respect to those I have met, and those I have yet to meet.
Blood, while we just meet only two days ago. I have seen the good side in your heart and have listened to some of your stories. Not just that buddy, but you have a humor that is so funny, and makes me laugh. You’re easy to talk to, and you give many a good view. You’re a boxer, and this is something I respect so well about you. The fact that you have said that one must use the mind and not only the fist, this truly goes to show you that you are a good guy in the fact you understand what you do. You have a good heart, and inside a great soul, never lose those buddy and keep them strong. You are one of my great friends, and it only seems that we met, and in all out truth we did. But no matter what, these past few days you have made me a very happy man and kept me strong in the mind. I wish to talk to you more Blood and get to know you; I wish that I could get to see all you are, for I know that it will be one of the greatest things.
Aniki, I have seen your wonderful sprites and listened to you as you cared when I was sick. You were there for me, when I was in my worst times, and I am so sorry we rarely get to talk. Aniki was one of the first friends I ever met of Joshi’s, and I was introduced by Rage, and I thank him so much for letting me meet one of kindest guys around like the other YCers. Aniki is a determined fellow who knows what is right, listen to him and he will speak to you the truth and all goodness that flows through his veins. Without him, Joshi’s game would be in a stand still, Aniki has given me the best sprites I have ever seen, and I thank him so much for all of his hard work, without him I would be nowhere right now.
YW, also we have only just met one another, but either way, it was with you that the ice broke so easily. You and I share similar thoughts and ideas of what should be and what shouldn’t be. You wish to share advice and help those in need, which means you YW have one of the biggest hearts, and I am sure that noble Toshi is the happiest guy alive to be your brother and have a friend as yourself. I wish you the best of luck in the future, for all that you do, and do not worry about things that will come, for in due time all things come to mind. Sometimes, it takes awhile to find a calling, but it will come to you. Your 20 and life is literally getting ready to finally go into drive, but this does not mean you must hurry, have patience and search. Live your life before you sit yourself down, have fun with who and what you are YW, for fun and happiness are so rare these days. You out of anyone know what to do with themselves and have a large heart beating in your chest.
Rage, out of anyone I know, you would be one so addicted to RPing XD! You truly are one of the best at it, and that I am willing to admit. You are strict, but deep down inside of your Rage buddy, you have one of the softest hearts around. Inside you beats a really good man, who when I feel in need, I can talk to. You know when something must be done, and you like Joshi will fight for what you believe is right until you have it, which is a good quality. Keep helping others Rage, and never be afraid to tell anyone you love them. Thanks, for introducing me to others, and thanks for being the one who introduced me and Joshi to the concept of brotherly love. I wish I had more of a chance to talk to you Rage, and I know life has been hard on you buddy, but never look down and think of the positive. For, you have a life and I know you are going to live it to its fullest. Don’t let others drag you down, keep up your smile and share you knowledge with others, and don’t be afraid to ever let that good guy in you shine the brightest.
Tim, while we to just met, I was able to help you with a problem. That meant a lot, that I could help you, and you to seem like you were meant to be a leader, and XD hey look, you happen to be one. You didn’t quite say much, and I can tell you’re a busy guy, but thanks for letting me share with you my advice and thanks for being here for all of these people, that’s what matters the most. Thanks for bringing together, with others, a place where all these awesome people can share their minds and bring forth happiness.
Dennis, Teh, and Graedius, out of any of the three guys I have ever met these take the cake. The kindest, nicest, and most heartfelt group of friends no wonder all three are going to meet one another. I mean heck, look and talk to them, you’ll see exactly what I mean. Teh, is one of the most caring guys to me and Joshi, out of anyone he took his time to help when were in need, and was always willing to share his views and tell me how he was doing and how his trip was. We shared same views on cultures, and he just happened to make me happy when Joshi was away on vacation, which was a very hard thing to do XD. Dennis, OMG… where to possibly start on you buddy. I would be willing to admit that Dennis has always been there for me. Always willing to listen, and deep down he’s one of the cutest most characterstic guys around. He has always been willing to play with me and joke around, and when things got bad, he was the one who cared the most out of anyone I knew, even my own family. Dennis, buddy, you are one of the greatest friends and never forget that. Graedius, while we never got the chance to really talk, I always heard good things about you, and I to could also talk to you about problems I had, and you gave me a good knowledge on how to view things. I always loved your little furry character *snickers* it’s cute, and I’ve always adored you from what I have seen. Together the three of you are the best guys around, and I wish you guys the best luck and happiness on your journey!
Blinx2000, you don’t think I would forget you would I? Of course not, how could I? While we never really talk anymore, and things have happened, and you probably think, “Well he must not like me”. You know, deep down I know you’re a great girl, and I know you to have a heart of gold. Show it off more Blinxy, and think of how to make others happy. Draw your presents and share your wealth of jokes, and never lose that happy side of you that I have seen. Make others happy alright? Because inside of you, I know you are a great girl rearing to get out and make your friends the happiest group of guys and gals around.
Yoshiken, I feel so bad that I never really got the chance to meet you if only once or twice during my time here and with Joshi. The times I met you, you showed me you were a very smart guy with your love of Philosophy, and I hear you watch Paranoia Agent with Anjil, whom I also wished to know better. Watching that show makes you awesome in my book, and anyway you’re Yoshiken, how could you not already be awesome? You sound like a hilarious guy, and it really saddens me that we never got to meet, and I wish deep down that we could’ve and I’m really sorry I missed that chance…
PFY, XD, I would be surprised if your like, hmmm why is he mentioning me? Well there’s good reason, Joshi speaks well of you PFY and out of anyone I know it shows that you really care about YC, and that’s what matters the most. You’re an adult with jobs and a life to run, and a busy man from what I have seen and have been told. Yet you take your time to watch YC like a true Mod should, and that’s exactly what you do. Without you, things would be different and not as good, but luckily when trouble occurs, there is always the gold knight PFY to the rescue to make sure things are alright, so thanks for caring for everyone so much PFY.
Red, thanks for the reviews on all that I wrote and drew and thanks for that just so much you know. Don't worry about spelling my name wrong buddy, thats alright it wasnt bad, just you know... you always looking or reading what I did meant a lot. You to Boo, you would be the only one who took the time to read my story and for that I respect you more than you could possibly imagine.
Toshi, we only met really once, but I wanted to tell you that I have always adored your art and your attitude. You seem like a really great guy, and I'm sorry I never really got to meet you and talk for a long time. I know you got great views, and you know I'll always be a fan of your art, keep it up alright
Dragon, I to out of anyone wanted to say thanks for always caring for me. I feel bad we hardly got to talk, and thanks for caring about me during the storms and what happened to my house that means a lot. Thanks for those pictures you drew me, and thanks for always wishing me the best. I love you a lot as a friend Dragon, thanks so much.
Electric, I may not really know you, but like others we met one day and I got the chance to talk to the girl everyone loves to be with. I thank you for being so nice, and stay funny alright Electric! Keep being your vampire like Yoshi self! XD, Red's a lucky guy, I wish you two the best happiness and luck, and never look down on anything. You electric, were one of the nicest girls I met.
My last words to everyone here, to Joshi… the brother and the one I love, and to the amazing community of YC that surrounds me. Thanks, thanks for all the good times that I got to have and hear about. Thanks for the smiles; you gave me that you never knew about. And thank god you exist, thank you so much that good people are out there in this world. You all have the greatest hearts around and never forget that. I’ll miss you all, and especially you Joshi. The brother, who gave me a life, thanks for everything you ever did for me. Thanks so much for all that I have, and thanks for this happiness, now brother I feel I can live my life… like a bird you mended my wing and now I feel cured as if I have been reopened. *bows and hugs Joshi* *bows to YC* as I said, everything must come to end. I wish Joshi, I could do more for you, and I leave you to this happiness, and I wish for you the best life ever and I know you'll have one. Don't lose hope and don't give up, look in your heart and I'll always be there, I love you Joshi my brother, and I love you all at YC, you have given me happiness, like an arrow to the heart. Everyone here, everybody, every soul, every face, every hand that types the letters, thanks for everything. Thank you SO much.
With love, caring, honor, and a big goodbye,
Contention
Goodbye Contention, I'll miss you.
