Congrats to RSL of course. I hope everything is going well with you, wherever you may be.
However, this is for my friend, Tony. There was something typed out a week ago or whenever I was asked to do this, but I decided against it because I didn't want to make his worse half jealous. This I swear. Borderline creepy stuff. I'll keep it simple and distill what was a small dissertation into something fit to be shared between two heterosexual men.
Tony is a great guy and always has been as long as I've known him. The thing I admire most about him is that unlike some of us, he never took the easy road by engaging in constant sarcasm and cynicism with this thing called Eyes on and the greater social Internet hub. He made friends, learned about life and eventually found the love of his life using something I'd written off countless times due to immaturity and ultimately, lack of perspective. Tony is the best example of someone who has used this community to grow as a person in a real and lasting way. He is also the best example of someone who has given back his unique humor, friendship and time for all of us to admire and enjoy. This award is well-deserved and there has been no greater recipient.
Congratulations, T-Money.
