My family - Mum (for shaping my life), Dad (for giving me intellectual strength), Becky (for trusting in my morality), Ruth (for staying precious), Rachel (for trusting in my instincts), Paul (for pushing me to excel), and Thomas (for growing with me).
My friends (perhaps my only fans) - Rem (for making a Dark Metaphysist out of me and being like a father to me), Ben (for being the Rarest Kind), Nate (for testing me), Desmond (for your true hippie spirit), Raina (for being "awesome"), Becca (for smiling at me), Kate (for being a smile to me), Lizzy (for the hugs, the deep talks, and the musical spirit you breath), Jon (for proving you aren't really gay), James (for fixing my computer so many times and being our idea man!), Amy (for being so cuuuute), Novella (for being the first groupie, even if you like "No road" better a capella), Colt (for being the second groupie and lightening up the stress with your goofy grin), Phil (for shaping the theatrical in me), Louisa (for your quirky influence), Jacob (for being the unofficial A Thousand Young Promotion Manager), Paul (for being a part of my spiritual family, catching me when I fainted, and bringing A Thousand Young to the public), and Bejay (for being so spiritual that it became a wave washing over me whenever you walked in the room).
Everyone Else - Andy's sister Lynette (for being the biggest groupie), Andy's sister Gina (for turning my songs into karaoke classics!), Andy's friend Ray (for staying faithful to the hair), Paul Mauer's parents Chuck and Karen (for nursing my thumb back to health and me back to consciousness, plus all the nourishing food...I guess this would fall under the category of "physiological needs"), the additional artists on the album (Pat, Nathan, and Benny),my teachers (who taught me to work hard...and little else), my enemies (for strengthening my endurance to the world's evils), my past crushes (for strengthening my endurance to pain), and my pet chicken Chicken (for being the date to my first school dance and for loving me unconditionally).
