Rules & Soups, I've been thinking about writing this for some time, but after the conversation I had today I figured now was the best time. Big Red Leader aka Sean Rules,
We first met over 10 years ago now and we became good friends a few years ago. You hit me up to do the web site for Car Toys and to this day it is still one of the best sites I ever worked on. While working on that site you and I became pretty cool and being around you always kept me creative and motivated. There was always a great vibe when we hung out. From then on I was always down to help with whatever project you hit me up about. It was always crazy to me how creative you were. Then in Dec. 06' I came up to York and visit. We sat in the hot tub drinking some beers and I told you that I really needed a change. I needed to get away from down here. Without missing a beat you told me to move up there and work with you at the shop. You would look out for me. Within a week I gave my notice and was moving my stuff up there. While I was there I learned a lot from you. You had a work ethic and level motivation that was crazy to me. I never really had other friends that had that same desire to succeed. Most of them were cool with working a 9-5 for someone else for the rest of their lives. Living up there changed me a lot, for the better. My Pop's told me when I was young that you are only as good as the closet people you surround yourself with. That couldn't be more true. I always said that I could count on 1 hand how many people I felt I could trust with anything. The first 2 were my folks and the other 2 were you and Marcus. I knew that no matter what I could count on ya'll for anything. I can't really say how much that means. I tried to always say thanks for things that you did, but I will say it again. Thanks. I don't get to come hang out as much as I would like these days, but each and every time I do I have the best time. Period. It doesn't matter if we are out somewhere or just watching some UFC with friends. I don't really talk about this situation much, but it really has fucked with me. But I am going to do my best to have your back during this just like you had mine. I told you my plans for the future, and Marcus and I are going to have things in place when you guys get back. I don't consider you just a friend, but more like a brother. And with that I'm here for you and the family as much as I can. You should already know that you can hit me up anytime. Its going to be a hard time, but I know when you get back that we are going to take pick right back up and get back on top. I love ya brother! Blendian aka Josh Soups,
I met you through Sean and its been cool to see how much you have grown and matured. When we first met you were pretty much a kid down for whatever to help out. Years later your a grown ass man that I consider one of my closest friends. We don't talk everyday, but both of us know if we needed something, anything, that the other one would be there. I always respected the level of responsibility that you carried on your back. From the outside looking in, I don't think anyone could ever really appreciate it. But from the inside I knew. You and I had some great talks and a lot of times I would forget that you were so young. You carried yourself like a real man. You always took the good and the bad and kept grinding. A lot of times when the average cat would have cracked under the pressure. When I moved up to York you also had my back like no other. What was yours was mine. I can't ever really express how much that meant. So I say thanks to you as well. I feel the same way about you as I do Sean. I consider you a brother. And I am going to do what I can to have your back when you get home just like you had mine. If it is up to me and Marcus you guys will have no worries. I love you too brother! I am posting this here because I got no problem letting people know how much love and respect I have for the both of you. I wear that shit with pride on my left side!
