Because i'm such a lazy waster, I can't be bothered to individually thank everybody that congratulated me on becoming a Knight... so I decided to make this post!  Thing is guys... you have no idea how much in means to me to have actually become a Knight after my past. As most of you well know, I was once a JAT, and I was banned from the Academy on more than one occassion. I've been vulgar and arrogant, i've betrayed people's trust, i've let people down, and i've basically been a pain in the ass for longer than anybody should be. Basically, until recently, i've been a total jackass. I think maybe you guys should know just what it is that actually made me like that... basically, I had a problem with drinking and drug abuse. I used to be drunk basically every day, and I did alot of drugs, including some hard stuff like cocaine and acid. It took me 3 years to actually realise that I was hurting people close to me, including my ex-fiance, my family, my friends, and even you guys here in the JA. But ultimately, the one person I was hurting more than anyone else was myself. It took me until last Autumn to realise this. As of nearly 2 months ago, i've been completely dry of drinking, drugs, and smoking. I thought i'd wind up getting depressed or something, but it turned out to be the best thing i've ever done. I can honestly say, for the first time in a long time, that i'm truly happy. Alongside the support of my family and friends, I couldn't have gotten out of the hole I dug for myself, if it wasn't for you guys in the Academy. For not judging me for my past actions, for believing I can be a good Knight for the Academy, and for being such a cool crowd, all I can do is thank you from the bottom of my heart... even Aratan... Although, i'd especially like to thank T. Siduro, Bambi D'Kana (Queenums!!), Wolfwood, Jaiko D'Kana, Monty, La Magra, and Virtue, for basically getting me interested in being the best I can be in JKA, and for helping me believe in myself. You guys freakin' rule. So, uh, yeah. Thanks. That is all, peasants! From JJ, the JAK... Jedi Academy King! MAAAADE OOOOOF MEEEEETAAAAAAL!!!! This post was edited by  on Mar 12 2004 05:00pm. |

I haven't known you long, JJ; well, at least not on a server basis. I saw your craziness on the site, but all i knew was that you were that guy with oprah winfry as your profile picture. You're a great dueler, and an awesome guy. Congradulations on beating your addiction, and I'll see you on the server.  _______________ Bros. with Janus, Leif, Motrec, Aiden, 3th, Zertz, Kenyon, and Vladarion. b00m! Banana Brother to Garos |

I am really proud of you JJ. You have come along way since i first met you here. You not only make us laugh but you know when its time to be serious. But most of all you changed for the RIGHT reasons. It takes guts to admit that the choices one made were wrong. It takes Character to act upon that realization and change. You JJ have true character and imho will bring about great things to the academy in the time to come. Keep up the great work and never forget you have friends here at THE JA.

 you didn't thank me haha just kidding. seriously though, i've known JJ since he went absolute crazy a while ago, and I hated him. couldn't stand him. thought he was a black mark on humanity. and yet somehow through the years my opinion has changed. he's become a good guy, he's a laugh a minute, and now i consider him one of my close friends in the academy. i'm proud of you mike, just don't forget that it's a lifelong thing. we don't want you to go anywhere ever again!

JJ I think its great that a guy can pull himself to gether like that. All I can say is: I'm impressed by what you achieved there. I'm also happy to see that the JA has played a part in that. Its good to see that this place has that effect on people . As for you becoming JAK: you deserved every bit of it . _______________ -Retired april the 19th 2004 |

And then some. LoL Personally, I'm damned pleased to have you up amongst the Staff in the Academy, in the three days you have been a Knight, you have put forward a huge effort in helping out with alot of stuff, most of which, I can't mention here. You are the living embodiment and proof that a person, reguardless of status can change for the better. And you have set the best example for our community than anyone has ever done in the past. So really, it's us that should be thanking you. Rock on JJ, I look forward to seeing where time takes us with you on board. Peace brother. - Virtue.  _______________ Academy Architect |

Great post man. It's great to have conquered these things. You can be, and SHOULD be, really proud of yourself. I knew you were drunk a lot, but I never suspected it could have reached this far. Welcome back, King. We love you |

JJ, I know how hard alchohol can be to break as a habit, as an addiction, you have pulled through, and I am bloody proud of you for for doing that. Now it's your responsibility to keep out of it and stay dry. Welcome back, may you never depart again. _______________ I'm crazy, not stupid. |

Wow man, what you did is really really great And it explains some actions from you, I'm glad to see you are finally off the drugs and the booze, it takes real character to do that. And because we know you have that character and strength you are now JAK, and I, for one, know that you won't screw up again Peace man *gives his peace-bubble-pipe to JJ _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue.

Hey JJ It must have felt good that is finally of your chest, not to mention the great feeling you must have right now. I think you deserve it, I've only seen you on the servers a couple of times, but you seemed great and I think you really deserve it. Congrats dude! _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!
