One year after The Great Exile

DJ Hadoken has this to say:

A year ago today, I vowed that the 23rd of April should never be forgotten in our history.

This being so, let all RIA Poss pause and reflect.

A year ago we were forced to eat lunch away from Riaopia.

We attempted an exodus to The Promised Land. It harbored us for a brief period, however, we were called back and chose to eat directly in front of Riaopia.

This is common knowledge.

If you do not know, then you may not have been around at the time.

We have since returned to Riaopia.

Although, sadly, it is now covered in concrete.

It has been a year since this day was declared a holiday. RIA had been in existence a few months prior to that. RIA has existed for more than a year.

From April 23, 2001 to April 23, 2002 we have all experienced a lot together.

We have sold CDs.

We have had fights with bootleggers.

We have tackled bootleggers.

We have run away from security guards on the last day of school.

We have worn gas masks in public.

We have worn gas masks and danced in public.

We have celebrated the artistic talents of our Poss members.

We have experienced Carnevil.

We have broken windows.

We have seen more beautiful artwork and we have come back to School Daze.

We’ve seen Poss members come and go.

We have had a summer vacation full of antics.

We have had a summer full of DDR.

We have had a summer full of El Gran Salchichon and DJ Benvenuto’s A+ movie reviews.

We have had a rough school year.

We’ve had to deal with irresponsible teachers and a crisis that was impossible for anyone in this world to ignore.

We have experienced a Physics teacher like no other.

We have broken windows.

We have acted recklessly.

We have seen our friend break himself.

We have seen that friend recover and we have resumed being reckless.

We have broken windows.

We have graffitied our name on countless items.

We have deformed our own environments.

We have gathered nearly every Friday in the same location.

We have quickly become angry at one another and then just as quickly have succumbed to forgiveness, for we are all the same.

We have eaten countless tons of pizza and take-out food.

We have been through everything together since that day.

April 23, 2001.

Our society is always changing. We have evolved into a large body in which a large percentage of the school knew our name.

We have shrunk. To an elite group composed of only the most faithful members.

RIA is us.

RIA is our family. RIA is not the DJs who make it up. The DJs are the ones who founded it. RIA is the Poss. We are all Poss.

The one year anniversary of RIA passed by quietly. This was surely a sign of decline. That is why, I would like to start fresh. Take this time now to reflect over us. Over RIA.

Let’s start anew.

now back to the blog...


We must all take a more active role. This website brings us together. Therefore, we must keep this site as up to date as often as possible. However, this requires everyone’s help. Submission of any form of writing or drawing or anything is good.

Let’s not worry about that now, though. This is a special day. If you know someone who doesn’t come to this site as often as they should and they were with us at the time of The Great Exile, tell them to read this.

And so, we journey on.

More troubles await us. More good times will surprise us. More food will fill us. And a new CD will entertain us..

We await another year.

There is one more thing I have to say...

ALL RIA MEMBERS.
ALL RIA SOLDIERS.
NOW IS THE TIME.


NOW IS THE TIME!
WE WILL CRUSH ALL OPPOSITION!
HUNT DOWN FRODO!
DO NOT IGNORE YOUR MISSIONS!
WE WILL FIGHT TO THE DASTARDLY DEED!

MIDDLE-EARTH WILL NOT WIN!!
