Thanks to all who made it possible for me to attend TAFT 2005… Some I know about – others I do not.

I had a great time and for that even the anonymous ones will forever have a special place in my heart.

2005 has been a crappy Zayne year – no doubt. I wondered many times if I would make it through to the end. My closest friends have spent more than enough moments talking me into hope and off of mental bridges.

If there is anything 2005 has shown me is that people do really care about my well being, my life, and me. I know that last sentence may seem a bit weird to a lot of people as they are preparing to spend the holidays with family. The truth is that I do not have any family. As cliché as it sounds, over the years, my friends have become my family.

TAFT weekend made me smile so much while missing many of you like, Keith, Michelle, Trudes, Janelle, Lara…but I smiled. I smiled and that’s an accomplishment in a year that feels as if I have shared more tears than laughter.

Thanks to all of you. Thanks for the laughter, calls, emails, postcards, letters, and prayers. You all have played a part in getting me through this roughest of times.

Peace to all,
Zayne

You are much loved, Z!

I know Turtle misses your socks so much already...

~fff

HIJACK (Sorry, Zayne)


ah... great song.

If you like it... you MUST check out Failure's Fantastic Planet. Failure originally wrote that song ("The Nurse Who Loved Me"), and Fantastic Planet is an oft-heralded, oft-underrated modern rock GEM album. It's bloody brilliant.

And I ♥ Ken Andrews (Failure was his first band). He's a brilliant self-taught producer, and Fantastic Planet shows it. The Failure connection to A Perfect Circle... Troy Van Leeuwen was in Failure near the end of their musical run. Also, Maynard James Keenan sang on another Ken Andrews side-project, The Replicants cover of Paul McCartney's "Silly Love Songs."

Wishing you better days and continuing strength and hope.
You are a survivor, G/F. Please try to hang in there for the second wind.

You're a great date, Zayne.

(I may not always have presents for you, but you're never far from my mind & my heart...)

I hope 2006 totally turns it around for you.

You're Zayne... why wouldn't we be here for you?

I'm wishing for you peace and much luck in the coming year!

Mwah!

zayne, i'd like to think that i got a little bit sluttier this year because of you.

much love!

I really really missed seeing you at Taft too, Zayne. Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2006!

Hugs,
Keith

me too, Zayne!


Is that a fat joke?

Naah, just easier than keeping track of my OtR show count.

aww zayne baby. we love you much. it was so good to see you last weekend.

let me know if there are any cool shows coming down there soon. we'll talk mariesa and kylie into a roadtrip. i'm feeling the need for some pralines and to hang out at tootsie's or robert's one night...

:hug:

We still owe each other coffee, gorgious.

Lemme know when you're available.

Happy Holidays and much Love.

I had so much fun chatting with you and almost whispering sweet nothings in your ear. I hope and pray that things turn around for you soon.

blessings to you!~!

Zayne.

Zayne!!! It was nice meeting you. Here's wishing you a great 2006!

What do you need a concert for? Come on down and we'll spend that ticket money at the bars!

Seriously, and I think Miss Z will agree, you don't need a reason to visit us in Nashville (notice how I'm assuming me & Laurie will be invited?).. Just get in the car and drive.


Zayne - you are the (second) best! Thanks for the CDs!

WHAT ticket money @ the bars?????
I think you spent that all on CDs mister! Or at least that's what Zayne told me!

Zayne, my home state homie. I love you and wish only the best for you. You know you're in my prayers. . Stay strong and never compromise and you will prevail.

Zayne,

Keep hanging in there! And as others have mentioned: Here's to 2006!

: )

thanks so much for the sentiments. i actually just wanted to post a huge THANKS but got sidetracked and long winded.

you all are a special group of peeps. i am so glad i have gotten to know many of you face-to-face. thanks for being who you are – well, most of you –

blessings and peace,
zayne

I'm sad that we didn't get to see each other, Z. But I am glad that you had a spectacular time.

I learned my lesson this year. My friend 1) wasn't feeling well and 2) obviously didn't understand that I only see some of you once or twice a year. Next time, I'll make sure I drive separately

sounds like a good plan--

AND bring your irregular arse regularly back to the orchard!

that's an order.
