Those were the dayz bro...of course I remember all that stuff from back then, I still talk about the all the time on here, because those were the PRIME years of the dubcc and internet rap forums.  You had some great bars back then that have stuck with me to this day.  Like,

I can write way better now. The issue is I am so far removed from the 'culture' that it seems like a lifetime ago.  I'm a married, conservative, white dude that lives in the suburbs with a house, cars and a six figure plus job.  My wild nights now are taking an edible and drinking expensive bourbon and being in bed by 11.  I've definitely expanded my horizons beyond hip hop as well. It has actually been great discovering classic music of all sorts of genres as an adult.

Scitt I actually don't have kids. Not by choice though. Not a fun thing to admit but like way too many people these days, we are plagued with infertility issues. We are leaving that up to God as we were told chances were slim even with medical intervention. Its a double edged sword. There are days I want kids and then I see my nieces come over with a Juicewrld shirt on, taking 50 tiktok videos in my pool and its like birth control. lol  I do have a rather large family full of nephews and nieces that stay close. Its not the end of the world. I just get to travel more.

Infinite, of course. Being on the Kamala train is just admitting you are a political novice that still believes in corporate media narratives. Hes RaciSt, SexiSt,HomOphoBic. etc.
If he can accomplish just 50% of what he plans to mandate on inauguration day he will be one of the most consequential presidents in history.

It's such a crap shoot... the whole concept of having children.  As the great Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran states, "you may house their bodies but not their souls." 

So much is outside your power and control, God literally has you by the balls.  I mean like in Primo's situation of whether or not the children come or not that's in God's hands.

Then even after they are born, you could have a fall-out with the mother and that could turn everything on it's head.  You could have a financial fall-out that turns everything on its head.  Your child could turn out like Will Smith's son...well, I don't even know what he/she identifies as now but you get the point.  I mean, was a fuccing platinum selling rap artist who had success in both the ol' school era and 90's era of rap and Jada Pinkett was considered a goddess and grew up side by side with 2pac... and they have a child that turned out like that??

So it's all such a crap-shoot and as they say "the best laid plans of mice and men..."

That's why I give a lot of credit to Donald Trump.  He turned out amazing children and grand-children while he says a lot of his friend's kids ended up addicted to drugs or blowing the family fortune.

Another good month in the books, that makes like 3 straight, sept, oct, nov... it started off strong with the Trump victory, then got weak in the middle with the Mike Tyson let-down, the Gladiator 2 let down... but I managed to finish strong just with some things going really well for me at my regular job...

Now December is getting into swing with this revolutionary advancement this ChatGPT that I got that allows me to study and research in conversation format, teaches me arabic, and I can even fuccin rap battle against the AI and shit.. plus I got a vacation coming up, might me a nice women and catch my luck, who knows what.. all good G!

Life is getting better and Trump gonna help make the world better.  Get it out of the hands of the evil Gates and Klaus Shwab and even though Elon is also a Fraudsta wit that fake space stuff at least he seems to prefer happiness and success over fear and dystopia

Been too many ups and downs this summer—starting with losing all my summer pay and getting screwed on apartment rent all to the total of something like 8,000 to 10,000 dollars by the time it is all finalized and added up before the end of this year.

Then rough experience back in America this summer.

So I still feel I only have 7 years left till 50–because if life is like this at 43 when there are professional athletes that still play at my age.  So if I can’t make life better than this now then what is the reason to stick around after 50?

So I was doing better from September 24’ thru May 25’—but unfortunately caught 4 unfortunate events this summer that are a bit more than what my 1980’s senses tell me are normal bumps in the road.  To me they seem more than what is considered normal to how I was raised in the 80’s when you are a kid and you start to develop a sense of what is “normal” to you according to your upbringing. 

So I still feel age 50 is a reasonable and nice round number.

So living like a poor Egyptian expat in the Arab Gulf in 2025—is a normal life for a white midwestern upper middle class kid from the 80’s?

Well even if that’s true—if I’m 43 and still haven’t figured out how to make “good decisions” then that doesn’t bode well for my life after 50
