23 ... and counting

" ... Pro athlete I'm not no wannabe, Waitress asked how many bottles? I said 23 ... "

This is part of the club banger '23' by Mike Will featuring Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J and the twerk ambassador, Miley Cyrus. Some 2 days ago I was seated in a cyber, making an extended version of the song and it's video, completely unaware that I'd be hitting 23 on my recent birthday. Awesome right? Anyway, I've never been a fan of making a fuss about birthdays but this I will:

1, it was the most boring, boring most birthday I've ever had. Reasons aren't really important.

2, this year has taught me a lot in terms of friends. I've lost friends to the angel of death and I've also lost friends, and not because they're dead. That's even sadder. I'm just glad I've met new people that actually mean something to me.

3, family is overrated. Unless they're your blood brothers & sisters, I don't really think you should care that much. I'll forever be grateful for family & my cousins to be specific, but if you're that good pretender of a family member, get off my case. But hey, I'm just speaking from my own experience. Maybe yours is better.

Now that I'm 23, it's time to go 'Pro Athlete' in every thing I'm involved. Relationships, family, career, friends and company etc etc. I'll probably start caring more about some people in my life and I'll stop caring about people that don't and will never notice that I've wasted my care on them. I'll probably love you more and show it, and I'll apologize for being a prick. I'll probably delete a few numbers from my phone to make room for new people I'm about to meet between my 23rd and 24th checkpoint in life. I wanna promise myself that I'll stop being lazy. I really wanna stop. Time to be Mr BusyMan. Time to go Pro.

This will be a long ass post if I don't stop here. Just to thank y'all who've seen me smile & frown, heard me laugh and curse, helped me up & pushed me to the ground, warned me about sukuma wiki between my teeth, reminded me of my open fly ... anyone that has helped me be me at 23. I thank you.
