I've read these things over and over...I think my two favorite parts out of all of them are these:
In AJ's:
"Kevin-dude, this sucks, I miss you man.You're always going to be my big brother and I will forever thank you for the best 13 years of my life and for believeing in me, waking me up and helping me be sober for the last five year."
That seriously made me want to cry.
In Nick's:
As I sit here eating a slice of pizza, thinking to myself, "Is this going to make me fat again?"
LOL! I laughed so hard at that!

I pretty much loved AJ's all the way around....
Here's another favorite...
"Nick, dude, you've grown up so fast, but you've become a great man, kid! I love you little bro, and I couldn't be more proud of you."
Again, I wanted to cry!

I also love on Aj's....
" Howie, dont ever change a hair on your head...even hair 72"
Same on Nicks. I busted out laughing then wanted to hurt him. Honey, you were never fat!!! STOP thinking you were!

^I know, my point exactly! He was NEVER FAT, a little chubby, but he was so cute! I love the Howie thing too, and I love how Brian calls Nick Prick. LOL

Nick As I sit here eating a slice of pizza, thinkin' to myself, "Is this gonna get me fat again?" I remember that I have to do my thank yous. Again, normally I'm the one who's writing all these crazy things for you to decode and figure out, but this time i'm gonna keep it simple and give thanks where it's due. First, all the boys. This has been a great ride. I still can't believe we're still around after all these years. I love you guys. Next, the fans - if you brought this record then you are truly a fan. We love you so much. Thank you for being a BSB fan. In this time and place for music, it means so much more to be a BSB fan. So screw the rest. You're the best. I'm gonna have to thank, K Crear, Even though things have changed, your guidance and influence helped make us an amazing album. You're still my dog. Jared, same goes for you. You were a special person in our lives and careers. You gave so much. Thank you. JW, thank you for everything man. You know we love ya. Shannon, I still want that date. Ha ha. Juliet, Lori Graff, Bernie, Rhonda - you helped me through some truly rough times. Thank you for not letting me do that thing I was gonna do. You are special to me and your advice has been pure and positive in every way. Love all the Koussevitzkys. Thanks to CMS and UNEP for giving me the opportunity to make a difference with the dolphins and the ocean. JR, Barry, Janet, Peter and everyone at Jive. Everyone at The Firm - Jeff, Peter, Jenn, this is gonna be fun doing it all over again. Andy Tavel, Jordan Keller, and love to TAMPA BAY - my hometown!. Well I think that kind of covers it for now.

AJ wrote a freakin' book for his thank you's this time around. It's usually Brian and Howie that have the long-winded ones, isn't it? Maybe I'm remembering that wrong.
And Nick...just...*shakes head* I can't think of a damn thing to say. Just...yeah. LMAO!

AJ I can't believe we've come this far. Hell, I can't believe I have come this far. What an amazing and life changing experience this has been. I have s many wonderful memories and many more to make with you guys. By you guys, I mean the following people - first to my mother, you have taught me everything a mom could about being a man. You have always been there and I know you always will. I am proud to be your little boy all group up now and I cant wait to follow in your footsteps (which are hard to follow) and be married, have my own family and grow old with someone I love. Thank you, Mom and thank you, Tony for being the father I never had. It's an honor to call you Dad! I'll love you both until the day that I die. Next, to all of my family, thank you all for always being so patient and understanding with me for the past 30 years. Damn, I'm getting old! To my best friends, Chris and Renee, you are are my armor, always there to protect me, especially from myself. I love you guys and Renee, I will always regret not being there for you and I will always remember Yuri as a brother to me. He was very gifted and sweet spirited and he will be missed. I love you both. Rachel, baby cakes, "I love your face." Noooo, what can I say, you are my best friend and so much more. My life wouldnt be complete without you in it. I love you and live for you, now and forever. Thank you for getting me and for loving Alex. You are an inspiration to everyone you come in contact with. I love you! To my second family, I love you guys - Trisha, Roger, Terry, Matt, Nick, Katie, and we can't forget Biggins "Gunny." Moving on - I knew this would be long, but I have to get this right. To all my boys, Terry, Mica, AK, Cory, Pico, Chase, Perry, Johnny, Marcus, Cliff, Q, Drew, Joey, Bruno, Mo, Ralphy, Jared, Tom, Jason and Nicky B - you are my real life entourage, my brothers, and I love you all in your own messed up ways. You guys will be in my life forever. Also, to some of the ladies in my life as well - Darla, Jenna, Taili, Dina, Britney, Kate, Jenn, Jamie 1 and Jamie 2, Kristin 1 and Kristin 2, Meg "and I love you a$$hole," Kara, Gaby, Leigh, Leighann, and Brianna - thanks for always showing me the lighter side of things and for sometimes letting your men out to play with Jizzle. Tyler and Lindsay, what can I say! Linds - you are beautiful and űber-talented and I wish you the most success and Tyler, we're a kick ass team. Let's do this thing and I promise all the croissants you can handle. Tyler Shields is the best! JC - you are an amazing talent and it was a great pleasure working with you. Eric - you have been one of my best friends for over ten years and now you're my freaking manager. You're amazing and gifted and you are such a hard worker. Keep up the good work buddy; we are going places. Last but not least, the boys - first, Kevin - dude, this sucks. I miss you, man. You're always going to be my big brother. and I will forever thank you for the best 13 years of my life and for believing in me, waking me up and helping me be sober for now five years. Side note - congrats to you and your wife for being the proud parents of your first child. To the other goofballs - Nick, dude you've grown up so fast, but you've become a great man, kid! I love you little bro and I couldn't be more proud of you. Brian - I know we've had our moments, but you've taught me so much about life and balance in it and I owe you my life. You're a great friend and father - I love you, you prick. And finally, Howie. Howie, what can I say dude, I've known you since you were 12. You're such a trooper and a kind spirit and a very hard worker. Don't ever change a hair on your head, even hair 72. I'm proud of you brother, especially on this record. You've come so far and you sound amazing on this record. All I've got to say is, IT'S ABOUT TIME. I love you guys and thanks for always believing in me.

Brian 1 CHRONICLES 16:8-11 Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name, make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
I am thankful and honored to have another opportunity to say thanks again on yet another CD. When we started 15 years ago, we used to call them records. I am grateful to my wife Leighanne and son Baylee for always being my number one team. Both of you will always come first, no matter what! I want to thank my family for putting up with me through the many years of craziness!!! I love you all very much. Thank you so much to the fans; without you there would be no us. We appreciate you! I also want to thank a good friend of mine who believed in us when no one else did. Jared we are grateful for the tireless hours you put in to the Unbreakable project. Prick, Jizzle and D let's go get 'em!! I GOTTA GO!

Howie With the deepest gratitude, I wish to thank every person who has come into my life and inspired, touched and illuminated me through their presence. Through this recording cycle I feel God has taught me so much and made me a wiser person. To Brian, AJ and Nick - I can't believe it's been almost 15 years together. We truly have shared some of the best years of our lives and I will cherish the moments. I feel as a group we have grown tremendously stronger. The only thing that is missing is Kevin. Even though his voice is not on this record with us, he still remains with us spiritually. I wish him all the best with his new family and chapter in his life. To my Mom, Dad, Angie, Caroline, Pollyanna, Johnny and my entire amazing familia, I would like to express my gratitude and love for allowing me to be the person I have become. Even when at times I am so far away from home, you are always so supportive of my journeys through life. To my new partner in life and soon-to-be wife, Leigh, thanks for being my rock and never leaving my side. I look forward to our future ahead of us as you make me a better man. To JR - it's your fault that I am getting married - I was the last man standing. To Andrea, you're a great friend and all your efforts truly never go unnoticed. To Teresa, here's to a great record - thanks for all your creative input. To Jared, thanks for your friendship, always believing in us and helping us put this album together. To Jordan, your advice is always appreciated and for that I am always grateful to you. To Jeff Kwatinetz and everyone at The Firm, here's to continuing where we left off and creating history. And last but not least, to all our loyal fans around the world you truly are the meaning of the Backstreet Boys...

I was like "WOAH!" When I seen his. His is my favorite one. Nick's has always been...a little...odd! LOL No codes this time! LOL
