Gentlemen and Ladies,
Well, it has been quite a long time since my last post and for that I apologize. My lack of recording my thoughts onto bloggerfreak.com reflects in no way their existence. It's funny how time flies isn't it though. I remember the morning I left for Afreeka with Maxwell. Now we've been back for 18 days. Time flies. No longer friends, colleagues, mates are we where we were. No, no we are where we are.
Friends, we have been everywhere. We still are everywhere. This is a summer of stories. Mamma Mia! This is the season we will never forget. We have danced. And drank. And ridden trains. And laid on beaches. Had our language critiqued by the Dark Knight. And been driven up the Wall-E by each other's stories. And oh!, how I have Wanted to see each one of you so badly. I would Journey to the Center of the Earth just to Meet Dave somewhere...anywhere. Now friends when I discuss our friend group to outsiders- which often occurs- it seems to refer to "us" by anything less than The Golden Army is heresy. See I think so highly of each you, it is hard to explain to anyone the depth of this feeling. It seems I might have to jump around like a Space Chimp just to get my point across. But my real point is Golden Army, that though we are continents apart, we truly are together. I have tried and tried to explain this concept and I can only make it crystal through these words by Mr. Stevens from a song titled "John Wayne Gacy, Jr."
"And in my best behavior I am really just like [them]
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid "
Though these lyrics refer to serial killer turned pedophile (shout out A-Tone), let us not harvest from this area of our crop lest our bounty still be underdeveloped. We shall mature past to this point. Even at our best, underneath it all, though worlds apart, We are the Aggies the Aggies are We.
So I charge you to remember this. Wherever you are. Wherever you are going. Represent our family. Because underneath the floorboards, we are really just the same...

Very well said Cody, very well said.
Except the part where he inadvertently linked me to a psycho.
It makes me want to kill him.
Inadvertently? Seemed pretty... advertent.
I have no idea what you said, but I am still glad that you and me are part of "us".
