I am closing the HWF.

I'm sure you all want to know why, and I feel as though I owe you
that much, so here it is.

Since school has started, all my time as been devoted to that. I get
my degree in December, and I'm really stressing out so that I don't
screw it up.

My schedule goes to the point that when I'm done with class, I have
exactly one hour to get to work. After work (usually past 10 pm) I
get home, and eat, and have to be up again to make the drive to
school for a 7:30 am class.

With all of this, plus practice and football games pretty much every
saturday as CEO, I cannot give my creation 100% and I refuse anything
less.

The HWF is my baby, and I refuse to let it disintgrate into a
bastardized version.

Will we reopen?

I don't know. I said we wouldn't the last time, but I *thought* I'd
be able to handle it.


I'm sure all of you have noticed my lack of online time.

The three times I have gotten online in the last two weeks, I didn't
bother opening any messenger boxes. I just checked my email, and went
to bed or work, whichever time of day it was.


Finally, the last thing that gave me mental confirmation that I
needed to shut down.

I've begun to get pretty close to a lady friend of mine. At lunch
with her yesterday, I realized that in the event that I do have free
time, I couldn't possibly spend it writing, when I could be spending
that free time with my head up a model's ass. (Yes, I did say model,
don't ask me how I did it, I'm still not sure :) )


I hope that this doesn't upset anyone too much. ( Mike and Alex, it
will be ok, trust me ;) )

Well, if you catch me online, don't be afraid to give me a holler. At
least I know when I hear the message sound, I don't have to worry
about "where's the show" anymore :)

A few shout outs:

Brandon "Nebula" Gravois: What can I say man, with out you, this site
would be disorganized and a big cluster. Not only are you the
greatest right hand man someone can ask for, you are a friend in the
truest sense of the word. I can't count the number of times I've gone
to do something and you have already done it, and I thanked God for
blessing me with you. Sarah has herself a good husband, and I can say
I have a great friend.

Matt "Jack" Casse: My graphics designer. If I had to name my
favorite picture that you drew, I'd have to say they are all tied for
first. Your sheer genius to come up with a banner on obscure
information never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your help, and
thank you for being such a good friend.

Kerry "Kracka" Parfait: Well, what can I say? You break every "jock"
stereotype. You are extremly intelligent and creative. You could
figure out a solution to every hole we booked ourselves into and
still had the balls to say "screw em" when someone whined about
trivial stuff.I couldn't ask for a better creative director. All I
know is, I better have season tickets when you get to the NFL :) But
for now, I'll settle for watching you being the greatest football
talent in the district.

Rodney "Dark Fire" Rooney: I could always count on you for a great
deep thoughtful "fuck em" whenever I would complain. Thanks for the
help :)

Ben "Ben Arabie" Arabie: You came up with "friday night frenzy." I
will always be greatful. It's a shame your return was
undistinguished, but it's cool. It was great to have you around
again. Take care of your hot girlfriend.

Shaun "Apocalpyse" Gravois: Shaun, how many people can go from having
a bitter "my college is better than yours" feud and become great
buds? Oh well, at least you took it like a man when you realized I
was right, j/k. Good luck with the chemistry degree. You are a
genius.

Chase "The Chase" (What the hell IS your last name anyway?): Well,
what can I say? You went from having a boot to the rear as a finisher
to doing a professional inverted DDT. Talk about evolving. You have
great imagintive talent. But just don't give up your endurance
training.

Alex "Wolfdogg" Johnson: If I ever had an HWF groupie, you were it.
That's not necessarily a bad thing though. I will say this though, if
you are persistent with women as you are with posting, and convincing
people that Wolf can lift half a ton, then you will more than likely
succeed. Good luck with everything.

Tim "Lamont Cranston" Magee: Great times at the theater. One of these
days I'm going to get the photo I got of you in the dark theater
developed and on here so you can see it. Just remember, if you get
your WWE contract before me, you better put in a good word :)

Mike "Sniperdude" Daniels: Just remember not to hunt rabbits with
anything that you need a tripod to set up. You too are exremely
persistent. Find a way to harness it for positive use.

Logan "Assclown" Verdin: Dude, the Fishing Reel was one of the things
I looked forward to every week. Try not to drink too many beers, we
don't need to be bailing you out of the Ashland jail.


Well guys, see you around.
