As you can gather by this pic, this is where Con gets his name. From the movie Dazed and ConFuZ_ed. He is a very fun loving guy who lives life to the edge and makes each day his own. I admire that quality the most about him. He taught me right when we first met this. I remember the time when we first met. We were in a chatroom. No one wanted to talk to me because of my age. Con took out time and was nice to me. Then each night we grew in our friendship. After knowing him only three weeks, I had to have toe surgery. When I came back online afterwards, he always would prop my foot up and watch George Clooney movies with me. That was just the sweetest thing. Then we started talking more often. I swear every night we would sit there for hours talking. Once we both got ICQ, oh Lord that made us stay up and talk even more. We both worked on his webpage. He would pick around with me and always had me smiling and laughing. Whenever I had a bad day, he would be there to cheer me up..only if he wrote *hehe* I would be smiling and know that at least I had one friend that cared for me. As we were talking every night...for hours on end....we grew closer....a closeness that only great friends will ever know. He was the first person online to care about my illnesses. He never judged me because of them. He asked me how I was, when I went to the doc, and what the doc said. He was always concerned about me. That showed me allot into his charater. He was just always there for me, and that meant so much.
We even have nicknames for each other. you know you must be really good friends if you can call somebody by something, and then they start calling themselves that. Con's nics from me are: CONBOY, MASTER, Slave Driver, and Old Man. Con's nics for me are: Lil One, Missy, Computer Goddess....and his favorite one of the moment is HICK. Now Con is going to die a creul and unusal death for calling me this night after night. *looks at Con...you have been warned*.
Here are two poems that sorta sum up my friendship with Conboy.
I appreciate your ability to listen....that tells me you're generous and caring with your time
and that you wish good things for your friends.
Your insights are honest and helpful, and when I need your opinion, I can always count on you to point me in the right direction.
You're postive and entergetic--one of those people who can turn a "blah" day into something wonderful and bright.
Thanks for all the times you have done just that for me.
Poem 2
I knew our frendship would be forever the day I began thinking of you as my family.
Like family, we don't question wheather or not we'll be there for each other- we just ARE.
We've dicovered a kinship- a bond linking our hearts just like family.
No matter were we go or what we do, we're never without each other's loyalty, support, and caring.
That's friendship at it's best...friendship that most peoplr might experience once or twice in a life time if they are lucky.
I , without question, am one of luckys ones, because in you, "friend" and "family" have come to mean the same.
Conboy, is my big brother. We pick around in a way that only brothers and sisters share. We are the best of friends....and he is my lifeline many times.
In August of 98, Con moved. He e-mailed me 3 times in 10 months. On May 5th, 1999, he came back. We picked up right where we left off. It was such a wonderful day. No one will ever know the smile I had on my face, knowing that he was back. He is such an important person in my life. I am so greatful that God has allowed him to come back into my life.
Conboy, you know that I admire, value, and trust you and our friendship. You have been there for me on countless occassions ad have let me know you. I am glad that we both came into each other's lives when we did, and thet we became the little duo that we did. Nothing can ever change our friendship. I know that we will be in each others lives for a long time. Thank you for everything you have done, given me, and just for being you. Your friendship is so important in my life as you are. May your life be blessed. I wish you the best.
