Default i'm still alive if anybody remembers me...

Hey everybody, been a long time since i logged on here. I still read sometimes though, been very busy with school and work. recently split up with my girlfriend of a very long time also so i was very depressed for a while. better now, and I just booked a huge job and am getting flown to Paris and then LA for 15 days in each place to be shot for a magazine. that is what made my moral go up.

still working out but not as much, lost probably about 25 pounds since the old days of vandamme that some of you may remember photos. anyway hope everything is well here, seems to be. i'll try to get on here more.

nick

Nick,
It is so good to hear from you. Great to hear about the magazine shoots, but too bad about the girlfriend. My god, I cannot imagine you losing 25 pounds. Stick around, my friend.

I was actually thinking about you the other day. I think an old post of yours popped up in a search I did and I was wondering where you have been. Sorry to hear about the breakup, but I'm glad you are in better spirits now. Sounds like you have some wonderful opportunities ahead.

Good to hear from you

Real good to hear from you VanD. Sorry to hear about the gf, but it sounds like you're still on the right track with the career. Stop in more often.

Hi VD (Like the new nickname LOL)

Glad to hear you are alive- wondering what was up. Sorry to hear about the GF. Congrats on the modeling work. Lost 25 lbs, I guess you do not have to worry so much about shoulder size- there is a bright side to everything- Keep at it and I hope you get back here more often.

Red again displays his uncanny skill to find just the right picture/video to fit the situation. Man, watching him try to dance is painful!

VanDamme, great to have you back in our group. I hope you stick around this time. As you can see, the gang's all here, with maybe a few new faces.

Don't fret about the 25 pound wt loss. It is probably why you got that modelling gig. Agencies don't like their models really thick. They tend to like a leaner, slighter build. I am sure you still maintained your basic V shape and all around musculature.

Keep us up to date on all of your exciting life this time (biotch)... Some of us live vicariously through your life!

Good to see you around again, Nick. Don't be a stranger. You should post some pics of your latest shoots.
