1337th post.

I had an awesome post written for responding to Kevin changing the thing under his username to something I thought of, but I was a post short.

SO I'll just edit this one and say:

I'm so happy to be able to host this. A lot of you guys I've known for a long time now, and especially in the last year, I've gotten to spend a lot of bonding time with many of you.

This last year was a crazy one for me. My entire life has changed. I started it slow, broke, unemployed and unhappy. You guys were there for me then when nothing else was working out. The huge mess in March/April which stretched on for months brought out a lot of rough stuff for me as well, and again, several of you were there for me every step of the way.

During the Summer, Smash got me a job when I could not get out of my house in Wilson. That day was the start of a new life for me, and I owe it to this game, and more importantly, to you people who have kept me coming back to it.

Since then, I've been able to finally improve so many aspects of my life. I've improved dramatically at Smash, which makes me happier than you can know, but more importantly, I've been able to work on a lot of things about me. I know I can be terrible to be around, unfun to play, worse to argue with. I know, far more than anyone. But I promise to keep pushing to improve on these things like I have been. You guys keep me down to Earth, and while it drives me crazy sometimes, it also helps me think about things I say and do differently; so for that, I am grateful.

Sometimes, I feel very old in this community, with the way I think and the sheer age difference. But, at the same time, there are quite a few great personalities and characters that I am proud to know, and more so, happy to be able to give life advice and watch you guys change and grow.

This post has to go out to Adam Jones and Kevin Nanney, my personal Smash heroes. Without these two, this scene would not still exist (not like this anyway) and we would not be where we are. I owe Adam for so many good times, my playstyle, and for years of coaching and friendship. He is the damn best. I owe Kevin for not only inspiring me to want to keep pushing and practicing and playing this game outside the box, but for being a greater friend then I could have dreamed. So much love to both of them. It's my duty to get Adam back motivated and practicing with me (he and I talked about this Thursday/Friday) and back into top form so the original NC Catfish can take it home at Pound. I can't wait to get loud for them, as I have so many times before, and I know you all will be looking forward to this as well.

Finally, to Christen Jones: this game brought me to my best friend in Raleigh. You are too too too too good to me. It is never too late, no idea is ever too ridiculous. You make me laugh harder than almost anyone, and you make me enjoy every aspect of Smash like no else can. You listen to my problems, and have let me inconvenience you far too many times. You are the biggest reason I have improved, and you never get frustrated with me when I'm working on something. Thank you so much. I love you.

I don't normally make posts like this, but since it's taken me almost 4 years to get to here, so I figured it was overdue.

Most importantly though, when it comes to Smash, I leave you with the mantra I strive for:

Feel nothing, fear nothing, ****.
