Nick Here we go again. This is my chance to thank, dis or even be philosophical in a tactful manner, Hmm... well I guess I'll start with the (dis). menaing distance (to me), It's been awhile I guess, and if you're reading this it means we're finally back, all five reunited and it's O so beatufiul (Pause). Things have changed though, and in my opinion, they've never been better. the question is, why are we back? Well it's because of you! When we were away doing our won thing, it was you, the father of a new child that stopped me at the gas station and asked me when we were coming back. It was you, the young student who told me our music helped you get through your grandmothers death, And you, the harcore fan who couldn't wait, so you jammed the live daily site with posts! Yeah you, all of you. We love you (period) and we thank you for everything you've blessed us wth. Hopefully through our music, we can repay the favor. I also want to thank Kenneth Crear for stickin through the hard times. Man, let me tell you what, when all else failed, you were there, Love ya man!Johnny Wright, Phil Jackson's back! yeah!

Max, Luke, Rami and christian -- thanks for still believing! Now-- here's my favourite part, I have a message for everyone, here it is (4) (34368) (36) (48) I didn't do it. Hopefully this will set things straight.
