Worthless and Weak

Well, I said that the GL person of the year award would be announced yesterday. Well, I had made my decision, and was prepared to announce it, however, I couldn't access the internet. So, I apologize to all those who tuned in yesterday to see them, and didn't. But, today you will see who wins it all!

First, however, we are giving out the honorary GL awards first. The first GL's go to those people out there who do something that most normal people cannot even dream of doing. They put up with me. So, here's to my roommates, present and past, Seth Burton and Nick. I can't think of a time this year when either of you have complained about me, and both of you have neither become angry with me, that I can remember. The two of you are great human beings, and I'm luck to have roomed with the both of you. You guys rock.

The second honorary award goes to Luke, for his idolization of me. I don't think that I've ever been idolized before, but damn it feels great. And what makes it so good is the fact that you are an all around good person. I think you rock. But you're the best suprise this school year, and you might just be the best thing that happened to me this fall. You're great!

Finally I'm going to stop and recognize those who are no longer with us. First of all, my Grandmother, Grace Logan gets a very special GL award. I remember all the times I went down to North Carolina to see her and my Grandfather, and they would always take me to the department store and buy me whatever I wanted. I remember eating her fried okra (I probably spelt that wrong), and her cornbread. They don't make that stuff up north. She was a terrific woman, and a marvelous human being. Grandma, I'll miss you.

Secondly, my dog, Schooner, is an old dog, and is getting very sick, so my family decided today to put him sleep this coming Tuesday. I know its for the best, he looks like he's in constant pain, and spends probably 98% of his time lying on the ground, doing nothing. I'm going to miss him. He was a great, great, great dog. Always there begging for food. We'd always know when a car drove past, because he'd bark about the loudest bark you've ever heard. I could always go to him and cheer him and myself up by giving him a treat, or by petting him. He was a blessing, and a truly great dog. He was a part of my family, and I'm sorry to see him go. You will be missed, schooner.

Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for. The GL person of the year award. It was a close contest, and it really came down to the wire, but I think we can all agree that the person who eventually won it definately deserved it. The nominees are:

Seth Burton, Trebla, Bill, Bruce "Satan" Soule, Melissa, Thomas Dolby, and finally Jerry Love.

They all made a large impact in my life this year, and (except perhaps Trebla) all impacted my life in a positive way. You should all be proud of your accomplishments. And the winner is.....



BILL!!!! In January or so, Bill purchased GTA3, which consumed large amounts of my life. I happily played that for hours, handing off the controller to Seth and Mickey. You might not know it, but you really made my life a lot better last winter. In addition, access to your large collection of DVDs allowed me to see clasic movies that I really wanted to see, but for whatever reason didn't, and you kept me busy for a long time with that. And, I got to see all the Stanely Kubrick movies that nobody ever saw (like Barry Lyndon, or The Killing). Finally, what set you apart from all the other nominees is that very recently I managed to acquire an umbrella that once belonged to him. Umbrellas are part of my plan for world domination, so I that definately helped him.
