And for the winner of the one-thousandth post award, whom of which surmounted all obstacles put ahead of him, drum-roll please….ThumbsUpMaster! *One Day Reamins by Alter Bridge plays* Thank you, thank you! You like me, you really like me! It is such an honor to win this award. All my hard work on GameSpot has finally paid off. I mean, managing a union that involves interpretating dreams isn't a walk in the park. Remember, we all have to have a positive attitude in life so don't always believe you can't make it, because you could. All you have to do is believe right and any dream of yours can become reality. Viva la vida! I'd like to thank all my friends who suppoted me in the long through. In specific, I'd like to thank Rooster542 who introduced me to GameSpot back in May. Like the main reason I went to GameSpot was to get Little Shop of Horrrors out of my head. Then I got introduced to unions and I couldn't stop the addiction! I'd also like to thank appaloosa582002 who invited me to my first union, The GTA Legends Union. There, I made a lot of friends there that are still great friends right now. I'd also like to thank Kamechupas for helping me reach that 1000 mark. And more thanks to my officers in my union, juslaxn11, bestlaker, RKO_Randy_Orton, thecree, MysticHalo, reeper2009, and Danni_23. You guys/girls do a great job. All in all, I'm always willing to help out anyone in any situation, so stay cool, and remember the name…JO. Goodnight everyone and have an awesome holiday!
