For Steven

To my hero,
Silent and heard.
To my Army manlet,
 Make your country proud.
To my tard,
Sorry, but you'll always be one.
To my opponent,
Sorry for all the arguments… that you lost!
To my chauffeur, 
Thanks for carting me around.
To my runner,
Sprint fast and hard.
To my rock,
No I’m not talking about your abs.
To my partner in crime,
We’ll count presents another day.
To my inspiration,
Thanks for being the subject of my video.
To my brother in Christ,
Now I know no matter what, I’ll see you soon.
To my hard headed, egotistical, never-wear-a-shirt, screaming lunatic of a brother,
I love you.
