Hey there.
Today is a special day for me. It was on this day four years ago that I launched my personal website known as the Mark One Network. This little site has grown, changed, evolved and expanded a lot over the years. In that time, I've vented my opinion on various things and events, met several people who have become close friends, gotten some major publicity thru some cool links, brought my own stories and poems to a grander scale, introduced pictures and images of myself, my friends and some very cool celebrities, become a part of not one but two side projects that are also on the web and have done countless other things too small and numerous to mention. Overall, this little site has become something I have become quite proud of and has made all the long hours and late nights I've spent putting the Network together more than worthwhile.
And, as always during this time, I want to acknowledge all of my friends who, in one form or another, have played a role in making the M1N grow and develop over the years. To Sam, Rob, Kevin, Mike, Joey, Lucas, Justin, Jason, John, Brandon, Frank, Scott, Chris, Chris (aka Lizardman), Larry, (and to my newest online buds that I've met in the past year:) Lance, Jay, and Greg, thanks for all that you have done over the years. I'm proud and honored to know you guys and even though some of us has lost contact with other lately, I'm still grateful for whatever part you played in making this site what it is.
I also want to say thank you to all the visitors who visited this site since Day One. Since I launched this site back in 1999, almost 2,500 visitors have come across at least one of the many pages on the site. At the time that I started this, I was hoping that at least one other person besides myself would be fortunate to check it out. So for that, all I can say is thanks again. I know that lately some of the stuff on the page hasn't been updated in a while. But I promise that there will be a lot of updates in 2003, and all kinds of changes and surprises in store as Year Four begins. So I do hope that you will come back often.
Once again, thanks for all your support. And as I always say, stay tuned to the Network.
