Three cheers for Queer Ninja and the Sounds of World Wide Weed!

[Son of Gonzo]

Thank you for everything you gave to the network my friend. I remember the first time I listened to you, sitting sodden in the rain at a train station in the middle of nowhere, back when I was a nicotine junkie. Man... Listening to you talk about one of your mushroom trips, and your advice to "check out a toilet" whilst tripping made me crack a huge smile.

Meeting you in Amsterdam was fantastic, and you left us with many great shows and memories.

Hare Krishna, Peace and Love to you

SERENITY NOW, SERENITY NOW

Thanks for all the good times. Your positive vibes we be missed...we understand

[Hudsonrulez]

yes it is in deed sad to see queerninja go. but sometimes life just gets in the way I guess. Happy to see one last show out of you. I have never known a person with greater music diversity than myself. You played a track from the Bladerunner soundtrack. which is my favorite track to trip or get stoned too.

I am glad you will be around for other podcasts as a guest. Much love sent out to you from Toronto. I know a few of us will be missing you and your tunes.

What I wonder now is who should step up to the plate in your absense. Lefty is a good host. Maybe BB? Or a new addition to the dopecast network.

[TexasToker]

Your really gonna be missed QN! I wish you the best in all you do. Live life to the fullest and smoke one for us every once in a while.

[CrackaJacka]

Beloved QN, Mystery and I shall miss your giggles and wonderful sounds you gave to us in the stoner community. Your smiles and joyful exuberatance will be greatly missed. :(

Much love and care,
CrackaJacka & DJ Mystery

[LendogPDX]

Your show will be missed by many, but we all understand. You still can leave some skype messages for the other shows, and you'll be welcomed by many joints in Amsterdam on 4/20.

Thanks for being part of this great network. You made many people happy and made them laugh in public places such as a pub, coffee shop, on the bus, at work, etc.

[crowley666]

Hey QN.......not even a chance of having just the odd show? LIke twice a year? You will be sorely missed.:(

[Pothead]

you will be depley missed

im speakless ill post later

[Oldbay]

Just wanted to add my thanks and appreciation as well. I also have had to put my high times on hold for years at a stretch to get my life the way that I wanted it and the way that it needed to be. I am better off for it and you will be happy you did.

I couldn't be happier that life is going your way. I would like to believe that it is all the good Karma you have generated, and all the positive vibes we have sent your way.

This bowl is lit to you, Queer Ninja The Legend!

[Superglide]

Good luck, Queer Ninja, on the new path you're taking. I'm sure everyone here understands your situation. You've provided us with countless hours of entertainment. So Thanks alot man, and take it easy.:D

[Little Elf]

Best wishes my hilarious friend

[Lorenzo]

Thank you for everything you gave to the network my friend. I remember the first time I listened to you

And now I'm going to start at the beginning once again and work my way back through some of the most amazing podcasts on the Net.

Peace to you my dear friend.

[Pothead]

QN you will be missed by everyone on the network, (i/we understand why and good luck!!) i have loved listening to your shows and you have helped me no-end over that last couple of months in starting to sort my life out too, your a great guy! 1 in a million in fact 1 in the worlds population!!! and i mean that, ive never meet someone like you, you have given so much when we have asked for so little THANK YOU

i hope everything goes your way and we can stay in touch

you have my FULL respect QueerNinja

[FloydHead]

Such sad news, we are all gonna you big time! thank you for all the shows you have put out and for spreading all the peace and chilled out warmth and happiness that has found its way into our lives and changed it for the better. Keep in touch and i'll hopefully see ya'll at dopestock 08'!!
F.H

[queerninja]

This is so beautiful! Thanks everyone, you've made me feel so good today reading these lovely messages. You guys are wonderful, and we are ALL lucky to share each other's friendship and warmth, and I will always be so very grateful for that. Thank you all :)

I'm going to be pretty quiet, but I'm still going to be here. I'm gonna be putting out the monthly DJ Night shows, which is awesome, because I'm going to be able to spend the time once a month putting it together, but most of the hard work will have been done already by someone else :) I'll confirm the release dates of these for you soon.

Forum-wise, it might be tough to get here regularly, because I'm getting in for 19:30 every night, time for dinner and then work til bedtime. But, already I'm getting some work in! YEE HAR!!

Chatroom Smokeouts I'm going to have to limit to once in a while, but PLEASE someone make sure and advertise this, to make sure we keep getting people along. This is a FANTASTIC thing to do :)

Much, much love,

QN!

[The Salvia Kid]

I never liked it much;)...

[Podders]

Good karma to you QN, I think hearing your shows is THE BEST effect the internet has had on me, add to that some tasty herb and happiness runs,

Un gran abrazo hermano y mil gracias,

Podders

[BlackBeauty]

Your regular broadcasts will be missed QueerNinja - thankyou for being a friend in my pocket (well in my iPod) and for your laughter. I haven't told Hermit Girl yet, but she is going to be distraught when she hears....

Sometimes, MJ and our associated hobbies need to take a back seat while life takes over for a bit. I know how it is with not having enough time for jobs and money-making and that's why I can only put out one show a month - I'd rather do 1 show well then do 4 shows but feel they're not up to my best....like you, I get home at around 7pm, then go to the gym or have Systema training until about 9pm. By the time I eat and shower I only have about an hour to myself before it's time for sleep and then I get up again after 4-6 hours sleep just to do it all again the next day!

I hope that you will be able to drop in and visit us at BB's Bungalow occasionally :D And we are looking forward to meeting you in person at Dopestock 2008!

[tuatara]

I hadn't heard the news until reading this thread. I will listen to the most recent show tomorrow at work. Strangely, I sent you an email thanking you for all your hard work last night. I hope that you will be returning from time to time. Your show has helped me through many a shitty day at work and has introduced me to a heap of cool music. Three cheers indeed- you are a legend. Thank you.

One Love, Peace, QueerNinja!
Thanks for everything! You made me and my friend in a very sad mood when we you said you were quiting, but you chose a great song to start the show with, it got us in a better mood right away.

since you are quiting we want to give you a good bye gift: A free place to stay if you are ever coming to the Uppsala Reggae Festival ;)

[pope of dope]

We'll all miss you QN, and though you may be giving up the show, you'll always have a place in our hearts. Don't be a stranger now, keep in touch with us. Peace, love, and happiness to you.

[Podders]

Hey, wow it's been an age since I've heard the dulcet tones of Peter Gabriel, thanks QN.
That Swedish reggae wasn't half bad either.

[ajax]

I suppose I stumbled unto the Dopefiend family of shows a little over a year ago. It's actually been a smoking-buddy during my long readjustment to life in the United States. I sure hate that we're all loosing you. You'll not be forgotten; I'm sure that there will be enough QN BUZZ around here even after you're gone that will have new listeners going back and downloading the classics.

Like many of your listeners we are connected with you for different reasons. Many loved your music tastes, some your accent, but for many it was your infectious giggling. And for some, you brought a respectability and to a group of gents that don't have much presence in the entheogenic community. Thanks for everything, QN. Blessings for your journey to the next chapter in life ;-)
