Cody News Number 24 - September 2002
OK,
so you made it thru the first issue and you're back for more. Damn
you're a glutton for punishment. So what have I got in store for
you in this issue? Check out the vibe at Long Beach, the Teen
Combat School and read about
a special birthday. What else? Let
me check the vault and pull out the goodies. No, not MY goodies
you damn perv. It's
best to view this page full screen 600x800 or the tables don't line up
properly

Quite
a huge event happening end of August. Actually it's on August
29. It's Mr.B's birthday. Gary is gonna be 158 or somewhere
around there. He was born under the sign of the virgin but as
you can guess, it's a helluva OLD sign hahahahaha!!!! Anyway
that's one of the reasons that this news is early. You guys (and
gals) need to flood his email addy with your best wishes. So
what can I say about the old dude? Well for one, he is pretty damn
sharp. Mind like a knife edge. You wouldn't say so if you walked around
him shirtless though. Then his brain just fries one time. His hands
start shaking a bit and he has to reach for his wine to calm down. Don't
think of giving him a hug cos then his knees turn to jelly and you have
to hold him up. Him and Cody were great buds and he probably knew more
about the Codeman than most of his buds. Cody trusted Gary enough to
basically let loose on his life story and each and every day was emailed
to him in every detail. Hey,
he never knew me from a bar of soap but has helped me through quite a
difficult time. I'm not sure whether he followed in Cody's footsteps in
helping people and giving them time or whether it was the other way
around. In any
event, I know that, if the Codeman was still here he would have wanted
the old fossil's birthday to be special, so let's see what we can do for
him okay. He is also an awesome
storyteller. You can check his website out by clicking on the banner
below. Don't forget to send him the emails.

What's up? Well we're getting ready for
our mock exams to test our ability for the end of year exams. We've got a
Valedictory Service coming up and then I'm going to be studying my ass
off, but I promise it will still be there at the end, my ass that is.
I've been going to drug counselling
once a week with Cody's ex, Steph and it's going okay. Hey don't get
me wrong, it's hard. Really hard. But I'm really sick and
tired of the downers and often not knowing what time of day it is or even
what day it is. What fucking fun is that? I
couldn't get into Eudoramail for about three weeks from near end July into
August and I want to say thanks to all the dudes who've sent me mail
encouraging me and saying howzit. Things at home seem to be going a bit
better. Me and my dad a rapping each other while we're knocking each
other's blocks off with gloves and that's really different for me and it's
actually kinda cool. I think Steph and me are connecting and that's
a total plus. We're just taking it easy with each other, one step at a
time. I'm not likely to step into Cody's shoes. I don't think anybody
can. I
sent a story to Mr.B for his birthday and it's probably up on his site by
now for everyone to read. I used to help Cody when he was writing the
Adventures of Cody and TJ, so it's not like I've never written before, but
this was definitely different. Trying to think like the Codeman. Surf
has been on the up as well and I've had some really good sessions with
Winger. Steph hasn't got on her board since November last year and I won't
say anything to her. She needs to tuck that one under her arm all on her
own. |
