Ok so today I was with a friend of mine and she was telling me a story about something going on in her life ( I don’t remember I just pretended to listen you know how it goes) and whenever she would bring up someone’s name she would say a nick name or alias of some sort. Now everyone knows black people have an issue with using their real names, (you know my “government name”) but the funny part came when I asked her what some of their real names were. She had no clue on about all but 3 names and that’s because they were “family”. (Another thing we as black people do those niggas was was not blood related to her) I began to think about the may nick name I’ve had or even still use and well it’s quite a few. when I was just a lil one in high school I was nick named “BIG A” yea son that’s right I felt it gave me street cred i liked it so much I put it on my class ring when I graduated. Then as I got more confident in myself with the ladies I started to want a more suave nick name something to bring out the playa, pimp, mack in me so I started using “cheesecake Charles” yea yea yea he he he (im a smooth pimped out snoop dogg voice) when I grew up a little bit and got into stand up comedy i started using “FatBoi” cause hell that’s what I was and when I would do radio interviews I would call myself “DJ Cold-Toes” (it was funny to me) Now I’m pretty much done with the whole nickname game its cool for a time in your life but when you get to a point where you want someone to recognize you grow out of it. plus at the end of the day you can’t write that nick name on a check when you want to get paid… ok ok just thought I would let you guys know what was going on in my mind aight I’m done. Roarrr!!!

This is a new topic of discussion I like to call why not. And today’s why not is about participating in illegal activities to make money to pay the bills. Now I know all of the reasons why someone wouldn’t i’m not looking for the the obvious answers of police harassment, jail time, or death. I’m asking basically would you do it if noone could find out? I’m asking this because I’ve been struggling for a long time now and event after event continue to happen in my life that hold me back from moving forward. I look at it as another one of life’s huddles but honestly a nigga gets tired of obstacles. Thats why Hennessy has become one of my best friends. And I wont lie my mind has gotten to the point of thinking about participating in some things that my risk my happiness, freedom hell even friendships. I’ve wanted to buy a degree online to get a better job, I’ve wanted to sell drugs to stack some paper and clear up my credit, I’ve even wanted to bring mexicans over the border! the only thing so far that has kept me grounded is the fact that I may be a little to scared of my mother (people say you should fear noone but god but if you were raised by Ms. Frazier…. You would understand why god is second on my list of fears. Not only that the feeling of success knowing you haven’t hurt anyone in the process feels so much better then any shortcut. I wasn’t raised around thugs, gangstas, goons, drug dealers, or any negative parts of life. But I still understand that sometimes when things get hard and your back is in the corner you just gotta do what you gotta do. Especially as a man. But whats your opinions on things? Let me know and as always Roarrr!!! That means I love you in dinosaur!

Ok I want to discuss something with everyone on the topic of getting Fired from your job. A friend of mines I wont mention no names…@fatboifunny… Got the ol Can today (Fired), was handed his walking papers, was told to hit the road or AKA is no longer employeed. (didnt mean to rub it in) And we were talking about the emotions that go through you when this happens. I know for me depending on how much i like the job I usually get upset and want to tear shit up. I remember getting fired from wal-mart I wanted to push over the filing cabinets in the back and walk out the store with my hands straight out knocking shit off the shealves lol but i didn’t have the heart to do that cause i knew someone would have to clean it all up (and i would have to pay for stuff i cant afford) What are some of your experiences with loosing a job people. Roarrrrr!!!
