A little bit of cyber space for those rad
friends that have hung in through the thick and thin....
Bobby
Smith, aka funbobby......I met this menace in Humber Rez the September
after I broke my back. Trucks, stereos and trying to pay for his
truck and stereo consume most of my funeral directin friend's time.
Many goods times were had the insane couple of years after my accident.
Installing car stereos in the parking lot at -20 in the dark. Pushing
my ass thru many a snowstorm, trips to Stainless Studios to get
pierced......the list goes on. I wish he would move his redneck
out to the west coast cause Whistler is callin our name. SEND

Neil Verden Buie, aka The Amazing Neil (that's the rumour with the
ladies anyway). Probably one of the most insiteful people I know,
expecially for a young male upright. Guess it was worth holding
onto that virginity thing for all those years. Studin hard at Guelph
to at some point finish and be a vet. Anytime I get into a conversation
with this guy I always feel I come away a little smarter, a little
wiser and a little more enlightened. I feel fortunate to be able
to call you one of my best friends. Hopefully one of these years
we can go trekking through the far reaches of this great planet
again with a little more success than our illprepared canoe adventure.

Leanne
Lewis, aka Hotsauce. One mighty chick in a little package. On her
way to Dr. Lewis, medical practicioner extrodinaire. Currently kicking
some ass in the CORD lab at UBC trying to figure out how to put
humpty dumpty back together again. Hopefully with her superior verbal
reasoning skills she will be able to unlock a piece of the spinal
cord regeneration puzzle sooner than later. I feel fortunate to
have had such amazing company during what will probably be the most
difficult years of my life. I know it wasn't perfect, far from it
much of the time but the years we spent together I grew in ways
that I never thought possible. You helped open my mind to a whole
level of existance that I know will be my key to a fullfilling life,
disabled or not, thank-you for everything Leanne. SEND

girlfriend (sorry girls) in the lovely downtown core of Vancouver.

Timothy Bingaman, aka Timo or just T. Up
and coming physics and computer science leader of the new millenium.
Ultraflowin mountian biker and one of my tightest bros since the
blessed day he popped out screamin. This guy was there helpin to
hold things together when I was layin on the ground waiting for
my ambulance ride to hell. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else guarding
my smashed body in my moment of crisis. Watch out world (especially
ladies) cause this kid is going to make his mark, as he will soon
be entering U of Guelph even after all my taunting to come to the
West Coast. Hopefully one of these days he can make his way west
so we can rip it up, carve it up and pack the days with good times.

Joanna
Noble, Toronto's up and coming stand-up comedy demi-goddess will
be making you laugh till you fall out of you chair. You will laugh
and you will cry as she shares her insane perspective on life, llove,
sex, drugs, rednecks, punk rock and most everything else that was
once sacred. Parrents, leave your innocent teenage sons at home
cause they will not be the same if Joanna has her way....Kick some
ass girl. SEND JOANNA EMAIL
Ivan
Samila, the fabricator of my amazing toys has given me the ability
to live as normal, positive and fullfilling a life as is possible.
Without him I don't know where I would be now. Ivan has given me
so much of his time and energy throughout the past years that I
am forever greatful that this earth is blessed by his generous soul.
