Dedication

This was the site dedication I wrote on November 7th, 2000.

No, I am NOT shutting down the site.

Over the past few days I have done a little... re- evaluating of some things. I still love this site dearly and it's not going anywhere any time soon. I needed to do a little re thinking and I want to share with you all what I have come up with.

What is the purpose of this site? Why am I doing this? Those are the questions I have been asking myself. This is not a shrine to a pop culture icon where looks and fame are all that matters. This is not a way to show off my web design skills for praise and admiration of others. This is not my attempt at trying to get NSYNC to notice me out of the mass of faces that admire them. ...So then what's it all for?

The major reason for this sudden re-evaluation is the recent passing of a friend of mine, whom I met online through NSYNC clubs. Her death has really affected me and so many other people that knew and loved Jordan. She was a great person, energetic, fun, caring... and a kindred NSYNC fan. THIS is the reason I do this. To meet people like Jordan, who share with me not just an admiration of NSYNC and their music, but a love of life and common point of view. She was a girl, 19, in college just like me. She adored NSYNC and especially JC, just as I do. I saw in her reflections of myself and now I know... my life is better for having had her in it.

Thinking about the loss we all faced when Jordan left us made me really and truly see just why I continue to work on this site, participate in NSYNC clubs, and even listen to NSYNC music. I have aquired so many wonderful friends of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world that I would have otherwise never met, all because of our common bond: NSYNC.

I believe in destiny and I believe fate brought these 5 guys together to help them realize their dreams and share that magic with so many others. I draw great inspirtation from them and their passions for reaching for dreams no matter how big, and showing that you can achieve anything you put your mind too. Some would say they have reached "the top", but yet they continue to dream bigger... and help encourage others to do so as well. I believe that a major reason for their success has been that despite all they have been through they remained as they were, unaffected by fame except to use it in positive ways, like forming charities and being role models to so many children. Knowing that all this (my site, my clubs, these friendships) is all indirectly a result of their efforts makes me grateful to them even more. I cannot think of five people more deserving of such success. I do not know them personally, nor will I probably ever meet them, but I feel I need to thank them for all they have indirectly brought to my life. So thank you...

I guess what I am trying to get at is... this site to me has become a place to gather together friends and potential friends initially drawn to the music and magic that is NSYNC... but can become so much more. Someone to talk to and someone to laugh with. Kindred spirits and lifelong friendships all discovered through music...

I am dedicating this site to the friends I have found here, especially Jordan, and those I have yet to discover. Each one of you has brought something new and wonderful into my life. Friendship and love are what life is all about. They are blessings that we are given to treasure and I thank God for all the blessings He has given to me.

So "JC- ya later", Jordan. We all will miss you dearly and may God Bless.
