Dustin's Final Words
Haha, I've come to a conclusion. It is much harder to write Final Words than to even play the game. I've come up with half a dozen versions so far and sent two previous ones in. I keep on thinking I have said what I want to say, but then realize that I shouldn't have said something, perhaps didn't make myself clear, or should have said something. I'm going with this one. I hope I don't offend anyone, if I do, I'm sorry. I'm going to tell a couple of stories perhaps and I'm going to perhaps be brutally honest. Each and everyone one of you (except Tara) should keep in mind that I do like you outside of the game. Some more than others. I'll be honest in saying that I don't exactly have a great love for Gia as I hate people that feel they have to get their way, and I don't like the way she criticized my 8) and my …., so in that respect she can kiss my rosy red 'cause I'm gonna use 'em as much as I like 8).
I'm big on honesty, loyalty, and respect. Those three things can get you everywhere with me. I try to play these games to a degree where I would be satisfied with myself were I someone else….I hope that makes sense. I know I haven't came out of this game 100% happy with my actions as I did my share of lying, sometimes meaning to and others not. But I did try to play it to the best of my ability without betraying my integral beliefs. Even if this is just a silly online game, I think it's important when doing anything to do it in a way you feel is right. As such, I expect others to have the same courtesy with me. I would like to thank everyone that has been honest with me the entire game. Those of you who haven't I must say I am incredibly disappointed in you, especially Charlie who is the one that actually voted for Chris and not Gia as I had thought. That crushed me man, and having to hear it from Gia was just so much worse. I was completely and utterly let down to such an extent I even began to doubt things I knew I had no reason to doubt. Keeping this thought, I would like to apologize to Cindi for doubting her. I didn't have my head about me and can only hope you will forgive me because I know deep down that out of everyone I have met online I can trust you above everyone else. So I hope you don't blame me for briefly doubting you and jumping to conclusions I should've known didn't exist. I'm rather ashamed I would even think like that.
As well, I am sorry for having tried to lead Vinny on to keep his vote. You're a good kid who I truly do like. Good luck in this game, hopefully we'll end up in one together some time. I also want to apologize to Mike who should never have been voted out. I feel I could have trusted the both of you. Of course I thought the same thing about Charlie before he stabbed me in the back.
It kinda makes me sick to think that I told people to vote me out next to keep him from being voted out (though chances are I was next anyhow). Thanks, man.
I have went through so many emotions lately since finding out that Charlie stabbed me in the back and that Gia hadn't that I have no idea what I'm going to do on the Jury. I thought I had an order picked out but I'm not for sure now. I'll just have to figure it out when I get there I reckon.
I'd like to say thanks to our hosts for doing such a great job with this game, I truly have enjoyed this game though frustrating it could be. The past 24 days were truly fantastic - I've met people that I hope to keep in contact with online once the game is over. Thanks again for the great game and good luck to everyone left.
I'll talk at ya later 8) |
