Ne-Yo

No matter who you are, no matter how cocky, isolated or depressed you may be, everyone has, at some point, to examine their impact on the world. The central question we all have to think about is 'how would the world be different if I had never been born?'.

(That's different from 'you'll all miss me when I'm gone', by the way, I'm not encouraging ANYONE to linger on THAT dark thought for too long. Even you moody teen types.)

Anyway, seeing as Ne-Yo has this song called 'Because Of You', it seemed a good moment to ring him and ask him to name the things which only exist because of him. See?

What I expected: Well most people tend to think of themselves as being a good influence on the world around them, right? So probably a list of all the friends and family who would've been worse off if Mr Yo had never been there for them (when the rain starts to faaalll...).
What I did not expect: That he would immediately admit to having been a bully and a bad boyfriend. Or for the expression "...is forever" to crop up quite as many times as it did...
