LOL @ AXA... cocaine addiction? If you can show me some posts then sure... from what I remember though, and I've been a long time lurker (Ron wouldn't fucking approve my registration for like a year), he's only done blow a few times. And I don't believe he's done it since. Lots of people go through experimentation phases. He's still in school for crying out loud.
Someone says they've smoked a joint and GetBiggers will rag on you for a year about how you're a drugged up heroin abuser that regularly melts down and steals from the Church collection plate. I think it's safe to say that things were exaggerated, but if not, feel free to correct me. This one I'm not so confident about. There's use and abuse. If he had problems abusing cocaine (as opposed to a small stint or bender with the drug) then please specify because that's news to me.
As far as other challenges are concerned like getting fat, then getting too skinny, etc... no ones perfect. You learn from your mistakes. I don't judge people by the shit they've trudged through. I judge people by the shit mountains they've conquered. I've gone through a lot of shit and it's made me a great person, imho. I'm no elitist or asshole, but in real life I think I'm a great guy. I'm the type of person to give someone the shirt off my back or not knock them the fuck out if they make a pass at my girl or something stupid. Candi is a young kid... he's got a lot more fucking up to do, so don't you worry!
I'm young as well, and I'm sure I've got plenty of fuck ups headed my way. I think I've matured a lot faster because of my harsh up bringing. From what I've seen at least Candi's learned from his fuck ups and to deal with the shit he puts up with on this site, I can't help but tip my hat. I'm definitely an asshole online but when respect is due... I'm not saying the kid's my idol, but compared to most of the other trash on this site he's a gleaming ray of non-gayness.
