It's Amazing, I'm Amazing.

You know, there's a great deal we can learn from Kanye West. For one, do what you feel, and if that includes humiliating a teenage girl during a very important event in her life, for God's sake, DO IT!
It makes for great television. Besides, where does Taylor Swift get off, winning the Best Female Video Music Award, or whatever the hell it was. Beyonce had cleared a spot off on her Trophy Shelf! Travesty.
But what Kanye most importantly teaches us is to be a cocky bastard. Or at least to have a wee cocky bastard within us, bigging us up.
You only have one life. Shouldn't you live it like there's only on person on the planet to please, and that's you?
Yeah yeah, that sounds bad, but what I'm trying to get at is, well, you deserve it. Everyone does. Of course we ARE still going to look out for and compromise for those important people in our lives, our friends and family, and, in reality, so does Kanye, but he also looks out for number one, a healthy approach to life.
Take it from Kanye, DON'T let the 50 cents of life out-sell you, and DO have enough confidence to be able to sing a little ditty he and Youn Jeezy slapped up for his latest album, one part goes a little something like this: "It's amazing/ I'm the reason/ Everyone got up this evenin'" And unlike other self-conscious music stars, he actually means it, and doesn't go chuck up in a toilet after singing that.
What a man. Let's all remember the little Kanye inside, enjoy life, be amazing and, most importantly, be unafraid of that amazingness.
