From the Editor

Dear Thales,
I remember sitting with you at Los Alamos high school, under Dylan's Nazi coat, with our butts going numb, freezing our asses off talking about life and love and everything, and sharing secrets with you that up until that point I had never told anyone and visa-versa. Because you listen. I remember at Kat's party trying to be that friend back to you, trying to listen to you as you did for me. Listening is one of the most important skills in life, never loose it. I love your advice, I feel it is practical and moreover it is honest. The only problem I feel is every now and then you can get a tiny bit pretentious. You listen to others perspectives but you definitely think they are wrong. I think you are wrong in this...let me tell you why...(I'm not hypocritical) No really you are really a good guy. I think you are extremely perceptive, and that is a very special ability.I am often afraid that you are not really my friend, that you hang out with me because I am there, but even if this is true I would like to tell you I consider you one of my best friends. I love your potato gun and your dog. (Its on my list of small animals to steal...besides Beasel.) and while your pyro tendencies freaked me out at my costume party two years ago, I have learned to enjoy it. I also think your hair is amazing...its a freak of nature how you can fluff it up and do all kinds of shit to it and it goes back to being normal...its crazy.
