<description>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, the time has come&amp;nbsp;for the final curtain call. To take a long walk across the stage, dim the lights, and say a sweet goodnight and goodbye to the den. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;First and foremost I would just like to say thank you. Thank you to all those who supported the ZenDen over the years. There were many good times to be had here and there are so many who contributed to that. I have many fond memories of my time here and I hope that the same holds true for all of you. I know I will certainly cherish this experience for a long time to come.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;There are some who may wonder why this day has come. I could try and explain things but someone is always bound to disagree or have a different opinion and&amp;nbsp;at this point, that discussion is rather pointless. The real heart of things is understood by those who need to understand and, more importantly, by those who are capable of understanding. I'm sure there will be those who will simply speculate or rely&amp;nbsp;on a few distorted facts and place blame where they see fit, especially on me.&amp;nbsp;Certainly there&amp;nbsp;are some things that I personally could have done better but a&amp;nbsp;clan's&amp;nbsp;successes&amp;nbsp;or failures are not defined by one person but by the&amp;nbsp;group&amp;nbsp;as a whole.&amp;nbsp;I know that I wasn't perfect but someone recently said to me &amp;quot;sometimes you were a ***** of woman but at the end of the day you always put out.&amp;quot; In the end, I know that I can walk away with my head held high in that I was dedicated and honest and most importanly was always true to my word. I only wish that more of the people who passed through these halls could say the same.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;With that said, a bid you a fond farewell. I'm sure that I will see some of you once again on the battlefield.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Best regards,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;DJ&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
