"My Way"

Adam took lots of pleasure in annoying me. When I was about 12 years old, Usher had just come out with the album "My Way." I hated the title song "My Way" so much, and he knew this. He went out and bought the single for "My Way." I doubt he actually liked the song that much but bought it just so he could put it on repeat and watch me go crazy while driving me to school in the morning. Oh yeah, and on the single, there were like 3 different mixes of the song so he could annoy me in 3 different ways. What's funny is that I actually ended up liking the song after being subjected to so many repeat listens.

Wanna make a bet?

As most of you know, Adam was a very opinionated person, and thought that he was right about 150% of everything that he said or thought, even when he was growing up. I remember several occasions where we would get into arguments about the most trivial things, such as correct song lyrics, and he would always win because he'd always say "Wanna make a bet?" and then proceed to bet me $50 or whatever amount. I'd always back down because I would second guess myself. I do remember a couple of times that I did bet him and I ended up being right and he would always weasel his way out of it by saying that we didn't shake on it or somehow proving that we were both right. I never thought I'd say this but I really do miss arguing with him.
