so, in my opinion, one's environment and the events that take place in that environment are what makes a person who they are in the present. with that being said, id like to thank some people, places, and things (yes, nouns) that have put me where i am today.
Thank You FAMILY/FRIENDS:
without them, obviously, i wouldnt be here. parents, grandparents, sister...teaching what and what not to do, whether it be through word or through actions.
thanks to my grandparents (Betty and Bill) for all of their positive support and for showing me that true love really does exist, i swear that they both give me so much faith and inspiration. i dont tell them that enough.
and to my parents, for making me. mom for doing all she could as a single parent and dealing with all my shit. dad for being one of the only people in the world that i trust. thanks to both of them for showing me exactly what NOT to do in a relationship. hopefully i can avoid making some of the same mistakes you did. at least you guys are making the best of it all now.
big sis, the only person who can make me feel like shit and motivate with the same breath. work ethic, knowledge, almost everything...i wish i could be more like her. it really hard following in her footsteps and i feel like the minor age difference is what adds most of the pressure.
to my friends, past and present, for pretty much making me who i am on a social level. watching you guys and being around you through school and work, you guys bring me some of the happiest and dramatic times in my life. i think you all are the reason i have such a logical mindset most of the time.
Thank You MUSIC/ART:
because of you i can express myself. i can say things through you without words all the time. you are the reason i am sane and havent gone off the deep end already. if you were a woman, you'd be my souldmate, perfect in every way. i would marry you and you would be mine forever...although you already are. you will be with me as long as im alive and hopefully, through you, i will be remembered when im not.

Thank You MONEY:
money can bring some of the greatest moments as well as the worst. people say money cant buy happiness, and i believe that to an extent, but it definitely reduces stress. money has taught me so much about myself (how to manage it, whats more important, etc.) and other people (what they'll do for money, how money measures up to friends and other important people/things). ive had my ups-and-downs with money and life is just a little easier with it.
Thank You WOMEN:
you bring the most pleasure and frustration ive ever had to deal with in my entire life. you are the definition of contradiction: both simple and complicated, easy and difficult to talk to, the list goes on! growing up primarily with my mom and my sister, i swore i had you figured out. however, by me thinking this, i proved that i was (and still am) as clueless as the next guy. whether it be friendship or relationship...theres just no figuring you out. you say one thing but mean another and...that shits just confusing. i recently had a convo with one of my female friends and she admitted to liking shitty dudes...i mean, really?! however, some of my greatest friends in my 21 years have been females. i can share things with you that i cant always talk about with my boys, not really content but the WAY i can talk. then, we come to relationships...i dont even want to get into that. i mean, ive screwed up my fair share of relationships (at least i say i do, my friends tend to disagree sometimes), but goddamn! sometimes, ladies, you just have to understand that we're not perfect, some of the things you THINK are a big deal dont really mean a damn thing, we dont enjoy holding your bags when shopping (especially when we're shopping for you the whole time and paying...i mean, can i blow some paper on me too?), and we're not the last guy you dated...which brings me to my next "thank you"...
Thank You EX-BOYFRIENDS:
this one is for the shitty ones (obviously sarcastic). now, i am a self-proclaimed asshole, but thats just because i tend to keep it too real sometimes. however, if im in a relationship, i like to think im a pretty good boyfriend...id give myself a "B." so, thank you to all the douchebags that ruin it for dudes like me, fairly good dudes, who have to pay for all the mistakes you make. some of us arent willing, or fed up, of cleaning up your mess, constantly being compared to you, and missing out on potential opportunities because of your mistakes. to be fair, i give a portion of the blame to the ladies that put themselves in those situations, but, as a dude, man up and do the right things while dating a girl. when ur single, fuck up all you want, but im just sick of missing out on shit because of another dude...its frustrating and, quite frankly, plain bullshit.
well, thats about all for now...its like 5am and i have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. just had to get some things off of my chest. i know half of the people i want to read this probably wont, so...lets just say i did it for me. who knows? maybe my point will get across #kanyeshrug
