Courtney's Story
How do I hope friends remember me? I hope that they dont remember the guy in HS that was always clowning and joking too much. I was very aware of how those in HS would think of themself as being adults or grown when in fact, we were just kids. Taking life to serious was just not what i was trying to do back then but, I kind of took it to the complete opposite side and was a lil to damn silly, as I was told by many of my class mates. Well, all that silliness kinda paid off. I was thru with all the jokes after HS. I look back and really enjoyed my HS years. I just wish I had the nerve to ask some of them good look sistas out and to ask a few of the women I had crushes on to go with me. Hey lifes good and its short, so have fun and dont look back.
I have traveled so much in my life and seen so many different things. Being able to joke and also take life serious when need be has helped me a great deal with the any 100s of thousands of people I have meet in my years. My sense of humor has help so many others as well as myself. The one thing people say now about me is, "He can make you smile, even when your heart doesnt feel like it."

She was sad and just didnt feel like being bothered when we all got her to go to Karaoke. I can blow a lil bit but, I feel like being silly so, I sang Luther and I mean I ruined If Only For On Night. But, my co-worked smiled from behind all that pain. When I got down from the stage, she told me her father loved that song and probably would have snatched me off the stage for messing it up so badly. She told me thanks, I feel a lil better today. She didnt know, I knew her pops was a big Luther fan and thats why I song it the way I did.
So, I guess all them jokes and what my classmates called fooliness, paid off for me. I have had many a teary shoulder and have turn tears to smile just not being a friend of being a lil silly from time to time. I dont get money or material rewards from it and thats fine with me. Seeing someone smile after something has made them sad, is reward enough for me.
