Post a Picture of Yourself

When you're drunk and hungry and would rather sprint out the store with mad food in ya hands and know you can get away with it, you'll do that over paying for it Moose. I was "homeless" at the time too so I really didn't give a fuck.

Rob, stealing, etc. Same shit.

You'll learn what a real job, and being an adult is one day :)

but you had an addiction for paying $200 for shoes so why didn't you spend that shoe money on food 

so you could make enough money to support this habit, but not pay $10 for food at a convenience store 

Perfect proof of

You can take a person out of the hood, but you'll never take the hood out of the person.

Refer to Pistol's post since it's probably the only thing I'll ever agree with him on.

You wouldn't understand the thought process because you lived a sheltered, suburban life as opposed to me moving in and out of several different ghetto areas.

Not flaunting at all, but it's just how it is.

Regardless, why the fuck would I wanna pay for something when I know for a FACT I can get it for free? Waste a fuckin a money in my opinion. I'm rather ignorant in my ways though. I also didn't have a job at the time and didn't have a place to sleep at night and was drunk as fuck on top of all that as well.

It's not dumb from a "survival" standpoint so to speak. Exclude the fact that I bought expensive clothing and or footwear, what would you do if you didn't have a place to sleep at night and no spending money in your pocket?

Factor in that I was a functioning alcoholic/addict. If you say you wouldn't do that then you'd probably be dead from starvation after the second week.

The stories and things I talk about have happened since this past Summer and before that going all the way back to 2010.

Last time I stole some food/candy/etc from a store was probably early 2014.

Haven't smoked in about 2 and a half - 3 weeks now. Working towards obtaining my license, which should happen within a month's time since I'll start doin on roads and shit next week for extra practice before goin for the road test. Simply doin Driver's Ed to lower my insurance since I'm doin it for free so why the fuck not ya know?

I got drunk this past weekend but I plan on taking an extended leave from drinkin once I get a new gym membership, probably won't smoke for another few months until I see the results I wanna see so that's looking around the time of Thanksgiving the earliest.

I start workin next week as well, and I'll have a 2nd job within 48-65 days on top of the one I start next week.

My head is clear since I'm not abusing substances and or alcohol, and I'm doin a lot of positive things for myself. Not gonna apologize for my hood interpretation of things, but ya really got me fucked up and I honestly find it hilarious so many of you consider me a Grade A scumbag to this date when I've improved a hell of a lot within the past year of posting here.

Not my posting style specifically, but who I am as a person. Either way, I really don't give a fuck at the end of the day cuz I know what I'm doin for myself. Just had to clarify, yet again, that even though I took the "scenic route" I'm still gettin shit done. Better late than never, but I'm only 21 so I get nothing but time realistically to grow up and become an adult. These responsibilities I'll be taking on shortly will see to it that I catch up with all you big bad adults like Pistol's bitchass and become a proper citizen.

I'm by no means unintelligent, lazy maybe, so I know I have a bright future ahead of me as long as I stray away from extracurricular activities and doin reckless hood shit. Which is what I'm doin as of late.

I also understand some of you older members are offering guidance, but believe me, I have plenty of positive people in my life who were doin the same shit I was doin at my age now who have turned out to be exceptional people so I'm not in the least bit worried about myself.

I honestly think some of ya never had a fuck up for a friend but I'm not a regular fuck up at all, just to clarify.

What if you die tomorrow?

What will people say about you other than you were a hoodrat, who robbed, stole, did drugs, and drank?

I was living in a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix.. Doing coke as I cooked, and drinking til I passed out.

You're preaching to the choir

Nobody gives a fuck what old teachers and coaches think. All my teachers told me I would be a failure because I'm dropping out of school at 17, and etc I know make triple the money they do, and work less time a year than they do.

Teachers aren't exactly the best judge of character.

You call of us "nigga" , and " dawg" so why wouldn't we think you talk that way?

Unless the way you are on here is  just a facade, and you're truly just as much full of shit as we think you are.

21 is a legal adult, the only reason you are not burdened by adult responsibilities is because you are either not willing, or capable of handling them. You are a child living at home, most of your peers are adults in comparison. You have time yes, everyone assumes they have time. You've made a waste of yours though, and continue to do so despite trying to qualify with your minimal efforts. You talk of adulthood like it's some plateau to reach at your leisure, which only goes to show you can't even grasp the concepts.

You can say what you want, but your actions tell a completely different story. Given all that you've shared, I won't be the last one to call you an idiot, because you are acting like an idiot, probably because you really are one. It's you who is dooming themselves to this definition by repeating the same mistakes and making no real effort to change. An idiot doesn't have to stay an idiot, unless that idiot thinks themselves smart with time to piss away.

Yep, because growing up happens magically over years, not by day-to-day decisions that accumulate and manifest.

Elaborate to me as to how I'm not making these changes on a daily basis? Last time I was in a real classroom at my local community college was Fall of 2012. I've knocked out two days of a 6 hour Driver's Ed class, obviously not difficult at all but I'm sittin in class, being attentive, taking notes like a good student, and participating.

I'll be workin two jobs, long overdue, but it's not like I haven't worked a job before, over and under the table.

Last time I did coke was a little after New Year's, last time I did a xanax was like 2 and a half months ago, and last time I smoked was 2 and a half - 3 weeks ago.

I really haven't been doin much but lookin for work, which I found, Driver's Ed this week (spent two months since January studying for my permit test on my own and got it before this class), and playin ball indoors and outdoors on nice days and just hangin with friends while they smoke and or drink with me if I feel like drinking that night.

Never said I wasn't an adult, but I don't have the responsibilities that qualify me as an adult in anyone else's eyes which is why I don't call myself an "adult". Not yet at least. I can grasp these concepts, they aren't hard.

You understand a majority of my using and alcohol abuse carried on because I had not only failed my parents, friends, teachers, etc but myself with the expectations of going to a real 4-year college right out of highschool?

I was a 2 sport Varsity athelete with AP and Honor's classes, believe me I spent a lot of time dicking around and beating myself the fuck up for dicking around so much. Don't tell me what I can and can't grasp when you don't even fucking know me.
