The Day After...

still can't believe it
tears...of joy...of damn
bittersweet outcome
left my heart up on that stage
felt grandmother smiling
words from a queen i will never forget
my big brotha b...u were simply amazing
joe b...i got you...always
kim...we are going to be ok, baby
its ok to be scared
jo...your hugs and words pulled me through
breathe
just breathe
now the work begins
lets enjoy every moment
learn from one another
continue to grow

From my blog.... not about fear or the team.....
May 17, 2006
okay..... yes, i cried. yes, it hurt. me, her and him were there the first year this started. we wanted this moment since 2003... more than anything we always believed from those faithful days writing at his table taking turns in the "magic chair" (the back would magically disappear as you became more comfortable, if you are slow, it would fall the fck off if you leaned to far). since that day always believed when the day came, we'd be there, together. i cannot apologize for my sadness upon realizing that would not be the case. very conflicting to be happy for my/our accomplishment as a team/venue, but know that she would not be on the stage with me. we three... i, the nut that fell from their branches- good, bad or indifferent.

thanku mike, i can't wait for your input for our growth. love you

kim, the scared part was for me mainly...i'm petrified...but willing.
i was not part of the original, but the bond with you guys is obvious and no matter what happens it may get frayed but it is unbreakable.
i wanted this bad as well, and it hurts just as much, cause i thought she would be with us too.
damn decimals and score creeps say otherwise....
conflicted happiness is so right.
