You know how I say I hate DDR so much?
You know how I say that DDR is gay and I never want to play it?
You know how I say that Tilt is a stupid place?
These are all lies.
Today, I went to the mall, to see TJ, after he got off work. We hung out around the mall, and I even played some DDR. While playing, I actually enjoyed myself. I cant pass stoic anymore. But I passed Holic just fine. I saw Bread, TJ, Nobu and his drama girlfriend whom I want no association with. The problem with me wanting to play this silly game again is that, if I start playing again, then yes, I will have to deal with these people.
I miss the old days. I really do. I miss the days when you could show up at 1 in the afternoon on saturday, and see all your friends at the arcade and just have a good time, up until we all left dennys and went home, to talk to each other on AIM. We were all such good friends. So what happened? Why did we all just drop off the face of the planet? Why do people still have grudges against me? I may be a bitter, sarcastic, insensitve, asshole, but I do it with such style and grace people should understand that I am clearly joking. Yet they dont. They bring their stupidity up one more level. But this isnt me bitching about the scene. I dont want to do that. I want to sit here and pour out how much I miss this all.
I'm making this entry public because I want everyone, and I mean everyone, I used to be really good friends with to read this. I want everyone to know how much I really miss them. So lets start now.
Bread: I miss you like a motherfucker, man. We barely talk online, or hang out anymore. Seeing you today was awesome, even though it was for such a short period of time.
Gay Mike: Where the hell did you run off to? Why did you shell yourself up, away from everyone, or at least away from me? I want to hang out with you again and make fun of things. Some of the most awesome days of my life were spent with you.
Craz: What the fuck man? We used to be close to best fucking friends, now I NEVER see you. We never hang out. And worse, we never even really talk anymore. What gives? I'm not mad, I'm just wondering.
Nougat: (yes, I'm writing something about you) You know, as much of an asshole you think I am, and as much of an asshole as I think you are, you are a pretty funny dude, and we were pretty good friends for a while. I guess things change, you can go on and hold onto this grudge for the rest of your life, but I'm not. I'm dropping it here and now. I dont care anymore. It's childish, and you should see that by now.
Emily: Yeah thanks for going to college, you were one of the surviving DDR players from the old days, along with Bread, and now you're gone, too. Awesome.
Damien: God damn, I remember the exact day I met you. I dont remember the date, but I definately remember what happened that day. I went into the arcade, like always, and saw a big black guy playing DDR. I found this strange, because you were actually doing good. I think we spoke for a little bit, and then Nougat showed up and we all joked around, and then me and Nougat found like $50 on the ground and split it between the two of us, I ended up buying a tshirt, to this day I still have this tshirt. But anyway, away from that. Where did you go? I havent heard shit from you in months.
Sharkey: I remember the days when you used to talk to people on a quasi-regular basis. I miss those.
G-Man: I understand you moved to Connecticut, and you only go to TGA now, but damn if I dont miss us all hanging out at tilt. Or even that new years eve at your house in Rhode Island, when we brought Clays metal pad to your house and played DDR all night, no one was fighting everyone was cool. Twitch and your sister were both there, I think. That was the night I got my old livejournal, too. Wow. Man that was a fucking awesome night, we came up with health school, and some other jokes that I havent heard from anyone in a long fucking time. You're a good friend, and hanging out with you is always a blast.
Stax: You rock, hands down. Not much to say about you other than I miss you as much as everyone else on the list.
The newport crew: The LoN tournies were some of the most fun I've ever had. Thank you guys. Newport was filled with some of the coolest motherfuckers around, and when me and the rest of the Tilt crew came up, we showed anyone from out of state that the Rhode Island DDR scene was quite possibly one of the funniest, most laid back of all the new england DDR communities.
These are the people who mattered to me then. If your name isnt there and you were part of the old scene, it only means you live outside of Rhode Island, G-Man being the only exception.
Now, I love all of my friends, old and new. I love all of you. So dont feel that these people are better friends to me than any of you, as you all are awesome, and I hope we share many more years of friendship. These are the people who I've lost over the years and want back.
I miss you all like hell. I want one day where we all go the arcade, no drama, no nothing, just good times and laughs. I want another day like the many I had almost, if not, two years ago. Is just one too much to ask for, really?
I remember when all we had was a 5th mix, and a MAX2, now it's all DDR Extremes, not to say it's a bad thing, but there is no more DDR mixes coming out, meaning it got boring. I understand this. I'm sure we've all played almost, if not, all the songs on the fucking machine. But please. Make it possible to have one more day of DDR. Just one. It's all I'm asking for guys.
Every one of my friends, EVERY ONE OF YOU hold a special place in my heart. Even if we are fighting, were fighting, arent friends today, whatever, you still hold a place in my heart and I love every single one of you.
If you were part of the old community and I didnt include you, I'm sorry, I still love you just as much as everyone else.
So, to my friends, old and new, I love all of you. I cant say this enough. You make me the person I am, and I couldnt be happier with any of you.
