"Gifted gifted writer, stopping by one of his journals is like discovering a cool new book, or walking into a little coffee joint just as they begin open mic poetry night. He makes me laugh and he makes me think....and i just met the friggin guy, so yeah, he's a cool dude "

"One of my oldest SG friends and the one who makes me feel most privileged that we have such far-reaching methods of communication as the net, without which i would never have been privy to these journal entries. StickyRice makes THE INTERNET worthwhile!!"

"I am so glad stickyrice is back. It's like I get a cookie for my brain every time I read his journal entries. Actually more like stir fry since I don't really like cookies. Yes. Definitely stir fry. "

"Stickyrice rocks. Not only is he an awsome, incredible writer, he is also a great gentleman and always has something nice to say. "

"stickyrice....just saying his name makes me think of wit,intelligence,and creativity. i always look forward to his stories and i know that they will make me smile...they always do. thank you for sharing your talent and thank you for being my friend."

"This man, along with Woody Allen, should be bronzed and preserved for future generations. Once bronzed he should be polished to a high sheen and left in the sun as a monument. At the base of the monument should be a book of everything he's written. That would be right and proper."

"I am so envious of this man. He can write better than I could ever hope for.

And he isnt just the writing, he's also nice and stuff too!"

"stickyrice is a gentleman and a scholar and one day when hes a famous writer i hope i can get an autographed copy of something of his"

"superlatives end to end wrap the world in his embrace"
