Thank you for being there my junior year in 2000 when I absolutely hated high school, my so called friends, my life in general and letting me express myself through your music.

Thank you for being there when I moved out of state for the first time in 2002, and would go on to listen to your record for 8 consecutive months each day as I tried to adapt to life, but having something that I can go to so I didn't feel left out and give me strength.

Thank you for being there in 2005 going out to getting this album while I saw things still not improving, but keeping my inner demons intact with your words.

Thank you for being there in 2008 as I came to realize how much I needed to distance myself away from the fake people and not let anything deter me while trying to live a normal life.

Thank you for being there in 2010 when I reached a very low point in my life, but once again going back to your music as being my own Asylum, and having to take each day as an opportunity to make things right.

You earned your well deserved break and look forward *hopefully* for your music to continue to inspire me and MILLIONS of your fans as we try to deal with this thing called life!
