Then almost a year later on august 6th I met Fiona- Thank you for being such an amazing caring friend and being the person I talk to the most I would be seriously lost without you in my life. You help me be who I want to be and not worry about what others think and that’s such an amazing talent.
Cam and Harley- Had to put the two of you together as you cant have one without the other :P Id like to thank you for being cool peeps who although we went to school together I don’t think we where as good as friends as we are now we can talk shit and be serious and that’s something that I highly prize.

Thanks for all the memories all the songs that I hear and think of you and the scars my left hand that bring you to mind ill never forget you and thanks for being my little sister and for being the best friend I had before Liv it could of still been you had you not gone. (I wrote this on a bad night and considered taking it out but it’s a part of me and the year so it should stay)

Powelltown FNC – I have to say if it wasn’t for Powelltown I would be lost to football and would of retired last year after getting shit all from my start of the season at mt eve with a coach who tried to play me in the wrong postion and undermined my talents. Coming to Powelltown was the best choice ive made in my life.
