This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just look at Michael Jordan. His mother negotiated the everliving crap out of everyone who wanted to be associated with him, and now the dude's still raking in absolutely obscene amounts of money every year without doing absolutely anything at all.
Makes sense. It allows him to focus on his career, while she focuses on everything around him as her full time job.
Although I think this greentext's equivalent wouldn't be possible to the same effect in the USA because MJ doesn't qualify as a dependent so the money that he officially made going to his mother would trigger the Gift Tax essentially taxing his income multiple times.
