Corporate is killin me.

[Big Woadie]

I can't live this life but I need the $

I know what I want to do in life but I don't know if I can make $ out of it. But I know it'll make me happy. I got a girl who I should be marrying, but I don't want to because marriage reminds me of repetitive ass life, going to work, back from work, rinse repeat.

I swear bein born un-rich...in this day n age...

Get the money man, whatever your passion is I'm sure you can pursue it on the side as a hobby or some shyt man. Work ain't supposed to be fun thats what my Dad told me. And this girl if you feel like you should be marrying her but don't have your life right? Don't do it. Wait until you have clarity in your life and you see what your future will be and then decide whether or not you still wanna marry her man, you feel me? Never feel sorry for yourself breh, cuz there's already too many nikkas doin that and wastin their lives never gettin what they really needed. It's like 50 cent said Get rich or die tryin, but we are all looking for our path in life and inevitably will die so why not die trying?

Work ain't supposed to be fun thats what my Dad told me.

This the part that's killin me. I'm the youngest fukk here right now, all my colleagues are 10 years deep in the company...maan...ALL of them are fukked up. In the head. All of them gossipin around all day, tryin to back stab whoever, all of them asking me "questions" low key probably tryin to catch me off guard, all of them always talkin same topics...

These people are dead man. They given their best years in life to be in this fukkin safe environment. And the results are...well...awful. I don't wanna end up like that.

I may be completely crazy but not a day goes by that I dont think about quitting and just going full throttle 100% grind on my hobby, see where it takes me. Even if I make minimal money from it, which I believe I could in todays crazy ass world...I'd still take that over making money by living like a drone surrounded by walkin zombies.



As for marriage...I do not have clarity right now. I just dont. And I feel guilty about it. A lot of my friends got married, makes me feel as if I'm slackin.

That same shyt your father told you - work ain't supposed to be fun - I feel it also applies to marriage. Put up and get married and don't fantasize about marriage being "ideal" - same with the job.

One thing I always did when I had a job was that I treated myself everyday or at the end of the week. I had one job were people were trying to get me fired, were saying slick racist shyt; were trying to mess up my work, keyd my car and more shyt. When I drove to work I would stop at the grocery store and buy my favorite candy bar (kit kat) or a snapple apple; and through out the day I would be like shyt I can't wait until I can get to my treat. The shyt worked and the day went by fast; but the other thing that pushed me was that I was fukking homeless sleeping on my aunts floor lol.

You just have to keep pushing make the money right now so you can actually do what you want to do.

What do you really want to do?

 

[Big Woadie]

What do you really want to do?

Make movies. I've seen so many interesting characters and things in my life, seein all these mundane youtube videos getting views...why wouldn't someone be interested in mines. I don't want to make big productions. Just me, one man team, talking to people, traveling places, documenting the world as i see it. I need time for that more than anything. How the fukk am I supposed to do anything waking up at 6am and getting home 5 something pm.

I wouldn't complain if I made ungodly amounts of $ here...but I'm not. So it's an average job with zombies who ask me the same question every monday

How was your weekend kid, you got any action, ya know, im alluding to SEX




And I'm passed the treat-phase. I splurged like that before, put on weight. I ditched all carbs out of my diet past month and I feel great.

That's possible; what your talking about is doing documentaries. That can be done on the weekends.

I tried, I can't. Events happen all over the place. Also, if I want to lock down an interview with somebody, I can't force my terms, "hey mister, I will come to interview you but wait - I will only do it on saturdays, so please make schedule"

I need time for this, I would go full throttle no sleep. But dabbling in it half-ass is something I dont want, I'm too old to slack about something I hope will be my legacy one day

I'd u wanna not get married let ur soon to be wife know u want to quit work and pursue a hobby...I'm sure that will be an easy way out...

Tough out the corporate job for a little while longer & save up a nice stash..and then take a leave of absence. (do they offer leave?)

Spend that time getting your head together about your girl but also persue your film making with the freetime available.

Dont quit work though, not without a backup

 

[Big Woadie]

go to film school

Worst advice. It aint about film school. it's about delivering content. Nowadays people watch HD and 4K videos on 5 inch screens over bottlecap-sized speakers. It aint about "art", it's using influences you have and just rolling out with good enough content.

Work may not be "fun" but it should be enjoyable. If your job makes your life run like a sitcom, same thing day after day, mentally drains you, and you aren't enjoying it then its time to look for another job.
