Nobody in their right motherfukkin mind will spend 30 years in the same company...hell, if you spend it in the same field you done lost your god damn mind as well


I understand if you got a kid and a wife, no buffoonery then, you gotta keep money comin in. But KHAAT damn if there aint a glitch in the matrix somewhere for folks like me without kids. I'll figure it out.

Exactly....my family is the only reason I ain't out this mostresticator job and doing forest ranger work.
Family requires a certain level of income. When the wife gets her masters and is making 100k+...I'm out.

First off ... watch Dilbert and read the comic strip .... Perfect corporate jokes..

Corporate is not really the problem.. first you have to do what you love... I'm an engineer, been doing the same stuff since I was 14. Work in the same field I majored in in HS and then college. For me its not work, its not a job... There are days when I'm pissed becuase of bosses or whatever but I love what I do to much to let there mini 5 minute rant about something they know nothing about affect the rest of my life.

We ALL cant have our own businesses.. I even have a side business and i did the math... If i made my side hustle full time I wont make enough to cover what I make at my regular 9-5 .. and even if I did its a yearly struggle. 1 year I might exceed it then the next year I may underachieve.. Once I knew the numbers will work out to a better average I will do it but for now the 9-5 + side will do.

That works for Black men like you but it dont work for all of us. If you an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer, or got hella certs or went to a dope ass school then I would say yeah the money you will make over a lifetime working for someone would probably be more than the money you would make working for yourself. But thats not the case for most of us. For people who went to regular ass colleges and got regular as degrees or didnt even finish like me, your ceiling is pretty low if you work for someone else your whole life. So you might as well do your own thing because if you stay commited to your vision you will make more money on your own. I used to do the cubicle shuffle in my early 20's and I was making pretty good money for my age but my ceiling was only a little higher than what I was already making and I always hustled on the side so one day I realized that I could make what I was already making and more if I just did my own thing. And that's just the money part of it. Being a Black Man in that type of environment is whole separate issue because you will always be on the outside looking in. The only nikkas who aren't in that boat are gay dudes and those bow tie wearing Morehouse type nikkas, for people like me, I couldn't get in their good graces even if I tried. When I had a job I worked in city government, in Atlanta, working with mostly other Black people and I still hated it. And you already know gov't jobs are gravy train compared to corporate jobs, so for a person like me working corporate around mostly white people is a total no go for 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.

You shouldn't be thinking bout marriage like that yet til u got ur direction down pat. U don't wanna be married and come home w/ ur shyt in a box cuz u weren't fulfilled at ur job. Especially with a Black woman.

So what them gossipy fukkboys feel dejected. U a young nikka trying to get it and live out ur dreams. Work this job and get ur money n credit up so u can network/holla at a bank for a loan when the time comes. This the end for them otger fools, it ain't the end for u. The funny thing is when u got ur situation right and ur ready to move to the next lvl n start being ur own bawse, those fukkboys'll start that backslapping trying to get u to stay n shyt.

But the game don't wait, if u don't have a plan, someone will put u in theirs. Those fools got put in someone else's plan and now they're totally dependent. Think strategically on ur come up, u can rest when ur dead and u ain't planted enough seeds to be vexed over the fruits yet.

Put in the work and keep ur plan on the low and hobnob with everybody n keep that phone full of colleagues. Even the dull n ignorant have their say and sooner or later a person u met will fulfill a need within ur plan.

And chix are basic. You get the money and the power first then u get the wife. Otherwise bytch can't take no direction and u can't give her no direction cuz u don't even know where tf u going in life. Not to mention u haven't attained ur base lvl of success to give a pass/fail to a bytch BEFORE u start Usher Confessions'ing with her ass. Girlfriends are coolnoprob but marriage is shaky as fukk. I really wouldn't suggest a person with management/ownership ambition to be wifing up chix til they are in some sort of management/ownership position. It'll just turn u into a lame fukkboy frustrated at the impotence of his own ambition who takes it out on his wife.

And stop being so hard on urself, awareness is the first step to enacting a plan. That awareness is ur first sign that u ain't meant to be a grunt, u supposed to be a bawse. So suck it up and do ur thing so that when u get ready to make bawse moves no one can second guess u or test u like those fools do their bosses at ur current job.

Be careful what you wisheth, thus the Universe...liseth?


The faces of some of the "colleagues" here..."why are you leavin"...."are you sure"...that perplexed look....that shadow tear in their eye...don't go, stay here with us so we can be miserable, together.

 

[Big Woadie]

Update my brehs.




















SYKE



It's my last day today. I took the extra vacay days that I never cashed in on, and I'll ride them out until my contract expires.

What is there to be sedeth. Well for starters...I have to let y'all know, I'm a coward when it comes to life decisions, to making moves. I'm a lil bytch. I want to play it safe and get rich. Go figure, rite. But it is what it is. With that being said, this is a big decision and a big move for me. And ever since it has been made I went on a hunt. Hunt. And I huntteth well my brehs. In fact, from this monday, I'll start in a new place. Money? I hate talkin bout details. But let me just say this - triple up.





Will it be for long? Yes. Stop with "too good to be true" shyt if you that kind of insecure bytch like I am - or was. I'm saying this coming from my own highly spiritual in tune with inner chi temple monk meta-meditating self ..... don't be cynical bout your luck in life. Will that shyt, sooner or later it has to come around. Trust me brehs.

If you read some motivational shyt you maybe sick and tired of fluff.

Brehs. It ain't no fluff. Think the GOAT of our lives. Think

Just do it breh. And do what you WANT to do, not what you THINK others would LIKE you to do (typical trash shyt like "get money" "private jets" "my own island near Dubai").....you know you don't actually want that. You want to PROVE to others, stunt. That's why 99,9% of "self esteem" is trash and fluff. Don't lie to yourself. Be realistic. We all eat a shyt sandwich out chea. Try to make it bit better by doing yourself the biggest favor - trust your god damn self.

With that being said..

I'm sittin in the office knowin full well I'm "free". Not exactly free as in "I can do whatever" (after all, new gig starts this Monday so it's all regular as if nothing happened)......but I'm free from the DRIVEL. From stale routine. From cul de sac.

Some of the colleagues see me doing nothing the entire day...they pass remarks on the low, I hear them "I wish I could do nothing all day and just fukk around"....



It's sad b. For the first time in my life I'm witnessing crabs in a bucket in real time real life in front of my own god damn eyes. It's a blend of and and to hear it. I actually wanted to help this young kid out with an advice, but he's happy doing mundane shyt that won't be worth shyt on his resume down the line.

Listening to folks in office stress...now that I'm Audi...it's depressing. Grown folks stressin and going drama over...NOTHING. That's how stale their life is. It's not good. But I ain't here to save em all. You can only save yourself, and once the society gets out of its trance with that whole "I'm trying to help others" social engineering shyt...we finna make it, all of us!

But for now, it's me riding for me and trying to be positive for me, noble, for me. I can't fix the entire ocean but I'm finna be the best DROP I can.

I'm Audi.

Trust yourselves b.

Don't believe the hype.

fukk the corporations jus like they fukk you.

Don't wear adidas it stands for all day I dream about something.

Nike all day.

Just do it.

Thanks y'all.
