In the absence of original brilliance, I must rely on the words of the great poet and playwright, Disney, to express the more schmaltzy melodies of my heart's meanderings:
As Simba and Nala become closer and closer, unaware of the blatant and sometimes hysterical signals of their budding romance, the wise and astute Zazoo looks on, knowingly...
Nala: So how are we going to ditch the dodo?
Simba: Oh, I know!
Simba & Nala: whispering inaudibly
Zazoo: Ooh, just look at you two... little seeds of romance, blossoming in the Savannah. Your parents will be thrilled! What with you're being betrothed and all.
Simba: Be-what?
Zazoo: Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.
Nala: Meaning...?
Zazoo: One day you two will get to be married!
Simba: Yuck!
Nala: Eew!
Simba: I can't marry her, she's my friend.
Nala: Yeah, it'd be so weird.
Zazoo: Oh, sorry to bust your bubble, but you two turtle doves have no choice!
With a song and dance here, a warthog there, and ultimately a coup d'état, Simba (Disney's protagonist) goes on to do the right thing, which includes (as Zazoo predicted) marrying Nala.

Simba = Jared
Nala = Molly
Zazoo = Joshua Ian Smith
Need I say more? Well probably not, but would it really be me if I didn't? This is my tribute to Molly and Jared. They've been dating since Spring Break, and I have only just made it a priority to inform the world of the success and accuracy of my clairvoyance. Are there fates actually sealed? By no means. With the freedom of will that God gave us, they can choose there own path, separate or together. I mean, Simba could have left Pride Rock to ruin and condemned every living creature to a slow and painful death. Likewise, Jared and Molly are not bound to any one path... Seriously though, to my beloved friends:
I wish you the best in your individual and mutual journeys. Whatever life has in store for you, if God be willing and your hearts be steady, you will triumph. However this game may end, I ask only that you remember me, your friend “before it all.” Together or apart, in good times or bad, I stand beside you both. Seldom have I met two people with higher caliber of character and courage of soul. And just between us, though I may never outlive that smug smile or the honor it has been to “introduce” the two of you, truly, the credit is yours. Where you go from here is entirely up to the two of you. You will forever “owe me one,” but then, I've owed both of you for years too, so I guess that is the nature of the best of friendships. God bless and keep you Jared and Molly.

1) Zazoo was a little ball of schmuck...so you fit the bill perfectamente
2) You must know now, anything you tell Molly not to tell me is no longer sacred, as is the case with me and you and her..for the most part...and I know you have gmail now, though I have no idea why you wouldn't want me to know
3) It hasn't been one day, but doggone it if I don't miss her already :( as;dklfasl;dfjkas;dlkfj
4) YOU....are about the best guy I could ask God for in a friend, I love you, my brother
And some parting shots...I had to drive, sorry I didn't partake in the toast to you (but only kind of...I'm not sure about me and taking shots yet)...AND I'm not coming to walla^2 tomorrow, which means I'm going to be postponing that trip for a week or so after the graduation...AND did I mention I miss molly? and that yeah, she's about THE wonderful girl to which all others should be measured up to....and I feel you...her mother makes me nervous...not scared, but eh....oh, and by the way, I have you beat now...I've spent more days with Miss McK than you...hmm, i guess this is a letter to you as well as a comment...are we going to be able to road trip at all when I come? because the ocean's calling me man....but wallawalla will suffice if need be ;) AnYwAys....i'm off to bed I think, will talk to you in a time yet to come, and....well, Thanks.
This entry and comment makes me smile. You are both so cute, but mostly Jared is cute and Josh is a pansy. But I miss you both, and I'm in Uganda! Yay! And just using up the last few minutes of internet time that I have left before heading out into the wilderness for a couple of months. Have an amazing summer, both of you!
psh...I think she's fooling us and she is not actually in Uganda but somewhere tropical with lot's of internet access...because man, I've gotten many emails from the wonderful grill...err gril..errrr girl. aaand that was not on purpose, but that may have something to do with it being 236 AM at the moment (ENTIRELY NOT MY FAULT, NOT JOKING THIS TIME). But, well hopefully this won't be something she reads for a while, but MOLLY YOU"RE CRAZY AND A PUNK AND GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY I MISS YOU.
oh...sorry Josh. Ryan's graduation tomorrow *uh..today*, which means I'll be seeing you soon, brother
