Random Love (anti-rants)

Cheers Gav!
I couldn't have put it better myself. This is a great forum, and I hope we can continue to keep it that way.
The trip to NY was certainly a highlight for me too. This year has been a rough one, and one of the few bright spots was getting to know some of the great people on this forum and having the pleasure of meeting them as well.
Happy Holidays!

Currently awaiting Festivus dinner here, all is good

Giles responded to me by saying that my purchasing is not a requirement of involvement in the Iron Heart family. I think that sentiment said it all for me.
Mega,
Iron Heart is our life, and is what pays the mortgage etc, etc. But making lots of money, having people who think that a requirement to be part of "the family" is buying stuff, is not what we are about.
I fundamentally believe that if you treat people with respect, you are rewarded with respect. If you treat people as adults, they behave like adults. If you create an environment where people like to be, they like to be there.
As you all know, Geo was a fundamentally important part of my life. I still miss him, I think of him every day. We had a discussion one day and I said in response to the question; "how do you do what you do?". My answer' "It's not rocket science". His response (and this is the key point of this missive); "Rocket science is not rocket science"
I give not a shit how much people spend with me. I judge people by how much joy they bring to my life/how much they make each day more enjoyable.
You add colour and enjoyment to my life. I need no more…
Random love/rant over and out.

my purchasing will be vastly reduced
We’re banking on the hope that Tommytron - after years and years of brainwashing - in about 2030 will be the best IH customer in the known world. In fact he’ll probably be running the show.

P, Tommy's ambition is still to be a jeans maker like "uncle" Haraki
G, random love is appreciated mate
RP, I'm too full of chilli and home made bread for feats of strength, so I have already declared Tommy the winner
A truly Merry Christmas to you all

Merry Christmas Simon, Anne-Maire and Cam, hope to hang with you guys next year

i actually wanted to send pm's around the world to my favourite forum buddies and all, but since this thread was created I thought I just should write my words here (the ones I wanted to send pm's to know who they are!)
_I really wish all of you guys some great great holidays with your loved ones! enjoy the days in peace and harmony and take care of yourself - read: don't get too wasted (Eli, Gav, Giles, …)
!
I really hope that you guys and girls get what you've wished for, no matter if lying under the christmas tree or just as a matter of personal enjoyment carried by vibes that such holidays bring with'em!
just ENJOY!…much love to all of you!_
cheers

Would like to take the opportunity to thank Giles, Paula and their family, Haraki-san and Japan crew, the whole team behind the scenes for making all this possible in our everyday's life. I have lots of respect for u guys.
Thanks everybody for all the good laughs, nice pics and reviews as well as welcoming me on the forum when i started to post parts of my life. I am extremely proud to say that IH is a big part of it.
Happy Holidays and all the best for 2013. stay hard, stay safe

Christmas love to everyone from deep in the heart of Texas!

Since it is the time of the year where the sentimental reflection of the past 12 months kicks in, I take the chance and address some words to all of you guys as well. …................................... Wait, I tell you what, we skip that, most of the time I had a feckin blast over here and will only say a big thank you to everyone (yeah even to those that think to act like an ...... is an achievement). I love you all….
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a blasting 2013 to every single one of you -
Walked into a bar recently that holds a celebration for all twelve days of Festivus. I arrived just in time for the airing of grievances. Enjoy Trons!
On a more year end note…
I've been a member on various forums at different points in time but this is the first one I've felt the desire to stick around and be active on for a considerable amount. Other than the last few months it's been admittedly good year for me, and through it all I've enjoyed being around here.
Meeting new people and friends has been great. NY was one of the highlights of my year and meeting a bunch of the forum (mega, urb, scroogen, DD, RP, mikeC, d666, Doug, chris...) was such a fantastic time.
And who could forget Giles and Paula. Thanks for running the ship that is IHUK and just generally being great folk. Visiting them was one of my top moments this year. Their hospitality and kindness are second to none.
Only real forum related regret of the year was missing Nate and Converge both times they came through Michigan. I've seen em before, but damn do they put on a great show!
Of course there's also Haraki, who keeps working his magic and churning out stuff we love.
On that note, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and if any of you are ever in the great state of Michigan don't be shy!
