fare well 2oo8, hello there 2oo9...

mmmm. this year has been truely AMAZING.

i have learned so much, its not even funny.

lets take a lookie shall we....

FRIENDS

i made some, i lost some.

they came, and they left.

i learned who was real, and who would always be there for me. ALWAYS. and i will forever appreciate them. i still have friends tht i have been kool with since elementary days. they are truely the best!!!

there are also some ppl who i learned that i cant trust, with shit. they jst couldnt handle it. and i cant surround myself with ppl like tht. no mam!

so i am now prepared to go into 'o9 hopefully making new friends, ppl i can party with, & possibly even some kiddos i could potentially call besties one day. (:

BOYS

ive learned tht all are not jackasses....but most are. the nice ones come out of the mst random places, i tell ya! but there are a few good ones. see fellas, im not puttin all yall down! but i did find myself to be in a relationship with one of those jackasses in sheeps clothing. he was truely the worse. ive learned to be more independent, ya digg? i cant expect everything from a guy. in 'o9, i will definitely stick to my type, and someone tht can truely handle my personality and lifestyle.

MY MUSIC

i have really got to work harder on my compositions and beats, as in putting in more time. in 'o8 i got juliard representatives lookin at me bc of a song i composed over the summer. thank you, thank you. so i must be doing something right, eh?

as for my beats, i will start to let other rappers and singers hear them, and do they thang on em, if they so please. i never thought of trying to do any industry stuff with my music, but then an old bae gave me some words of wisdom, and showed me a new direction. i mean hey, why not take something i enjoy doing, and giving it to other artists so they can do what they love the most.

LIFE

i learned i gotta live for myself. not my mom, not the grl tht sit in front me in us hstry, not my cute lil puppy, nobody but ME. i cant please every freakin body all the time. so ima jst please myself. now, tht doesnt mea ima jst start being rude & not caring about whatever i do to others. nah. it jst means that im not gonna compromise myself jst to make others happy. im gonna up my GAME even more. jst keep swagga splashin em. haha.

im becoming more intouch with my inner self, and i like it.

'the spirit of a hustla, and the swagga of a college kid'

i will be unstoppable, no matter what. im fully determined ot make 2oo9 mine, and milk it for all its worth.

with all my love, and wishes for the best. this is mikey, giving 'o8 the deuces, and sayin bonjour to 'o9
