Since ya'll are my homies. I wanted to holler at you about something I decided today.
I believe in self-education. But I don't believe in school. But I need money to live, so I keep working at it and failing. I've been in school now for a real-estate liscence, trying to try something different, because it's only a two week class. But I can't even do that shit. My mind is spaced out, I've been escaping with my mind since I was a youngsta. Anyway, hip-hop is my way of coping with my life. So I decided that's going to be my carear. That and writing. Which those two things go hand in hand.
So I'm just going to be a trashman or something on the side to give me money to live, and spend my life doing what I love most, studying hip-hop, talking to heads, improving my skills as a rhyme writer, rapper (mc), etc.
just thought I'd holler at ya'll, peace.

Man, i am kinda new to the board, but if you don't mind, i will offer my two cents.
How old are you? Cuz dude, yougot time, you will find your calling, don't stop working at it, aiight? SChool ain't for everyone (i would know cuz i am a first year high school teacher and i see lots of cats who hate it and don't know what they gonna do).
Hip hop- i have always escaped through it too man, i feel ya. I never liked school either, cuz i wasn't the smartest kid, i even faild grade 9. But i had some serious encouragement given to me in grade 11 buy one of my teachers, and here i am a teacher.
Now, i ain't sayin to be a teacher man, i am just sayin your calling will come. My best friend, he 24 and works at HMV, a cd store, and he loves that shit. That is his calling i think, cuz he loves music, and he gets to be around it all the time.
So, if hip hop is your calling, good for you, good luck with it. Just don't make any permanent or drastic decisions, feel me?

^^^ How old are you homie? What subject you teach? Can I borrow some essays?

i feel u Infinite ......... im 20 and i cant hang wit this college stuff ........ i just dropped 2 classes , the only 2 classes after i took a year off from school . and the wild thing is they were both classes i was really interested in ...... Nutrition and Business of Music . nutrition turned out to be real fuckin complicated and business of music was being taught buy this foreign german cat ( no disrespect to german folks) but he just came to america 3 months ago and he substituted for some other teacher ........ i couldnt learn shit in there .
<br>
anyway infinite just do whats in your heart .......and what u will have fun and satisfaction doing.
-
^ i worked for the state ........ i feel ya on that office shit ...... everybody there are like robots ...... and even i became one !!

my 2 cents on this one.:
u only live ONCE . i guess we re all between 19 - 29 right?
thats our best fuckin time in life ...
express yourselfes like u want to.I got a 10 month work right now but my thing is to make music.after theese 10 months i m going to produce and learn about the shit I like.
don t fuck with the shit u see on tv or in commercials or on mtv or whatever just be yourself and do what u like.
like dre once said - thats keepin it real,doin what YOU like
sup mouse?

sorry to spoil the party......but:
you'z a fool thinking like that. Right now you got opportunity to make somthing good with yourself, get an education, it dont matter if you gonna be a ppolice or lawyer.
it's already proven that the more u whait with your education, the more difficult it will be to learn later. What will you do if your rappin-career get blown?? how u gonna live?
like i said: ´sorry for spoiling your fun, but im just being reel

I wanna tell you something... I was the same way as you homie. Exactly, you sound just like me. I didn't believe in school I felt like I could learn things with my own education. Damn dogg was I wrong. I'm glad I stuck with school though. It takes time to learn the lesson life is about and why High School or schol in general is important, but if you don't go to school, you basically fuck up your life.

I don't believe you fukk up your life if you don't go to school, cuz school ain't for everybody. See, the public make it seem like you gotta go to university or college but nah, you don't. Besides, how old are you infinite? Like early 20's, right? Well, unless you got a kid or a wife or something, don't trip, aiight?
THis is the time when you can experience shit, do what you wanna do. I suggest you do something that will give you the experience of a lifetime. Example: My homie Nate worked his ass off for 6 months, saved mad doe, and went to Australia for a year, just hung out and met people (lots of girls), lived out of the bag on his back. When he left Canada, he didn'[t know what the fukk he wanted to do, and guess what? He still doesn't know, but it's all good. He probably gonna get another shit job, work his ass off, and travel some more. He's not worried cuz he has grown as a person and feels he will find something right for him eventually.
My point , give yourself a chance to find your calling or whatever, aiight? Just don't get too down man, holla at me if you want?
To the guy who wanted to know what i teach, i teach History and Phys. Ed., and i am only 21 (22 in december). I only been teaching for one month and a half officially, besides my practicums i did last year. And no, i ain't got any essays for you! HA HA

Man, hold ya head...I'll share my own feelings on school, the world, etc...It might help ya realize a lot of us feel ya...
I go to a "liberal" private school-ie, we pay money. Now, shit, if you ain't able to pay the fees and your family isn't like a long-termer there, you're told to leave, politely, of course. Bah. My best friend Will was, my friend Kai too...Another close friend was told today about probs with that.
Now, I love my school, I have so many friends and shit...But my principles tell me to leave. So I'm stuck between what I want and what I believe in. It's hard for me to decide, and shit, my family ain't that deep in money, and I dunno how long I can remain.
The establishment is only retained by people too weak to take a stand; And I'll make a stand. I'll probably leave this excellent school, which I love SOOOO much...Because it retains drug dealers and thiefs and kicks out dyslexics and poor people, because they don't and do affect the school directly.
The more you learn about the Establishment, the more you hate it...Shiiiit...
Hold ya head homie, I'm down wit ya, though we have different probs. I'm too young to be all like you are, but I can see it happening if my wishes don't come true, so I'm here for you, just email me or something.

Don't get caught up in the game y'all...
Peace.

maybe it s the weed that makes me think like that ....
but IMO there s always a way to make enough money to live and there will always be two kinds of knowledge - library knowlegde and knowledge through experience
its your choice what you do with your life and whats good for you or bad....
( can t express myself like that but i think u ll get it )
-
yea....i feel ya 100% dawg....im goin threw almost tha same.....i fuckin suck on most of tha subjects in school....and when you suck itz much harder to get better cauze you start believin you cant do shit better ...so ya just get worst....even if you know...you should get better...i don realy know what i wanna do....but i think this whole system iz fucked up...and tha shit ill be seekin for in my life iz gon be a position where i wont have to work my ass off...and will just enjoy life...ya feel me?...when i wont have to care bout money..and will spend all my dayz crusin in my car....wit a bumin system playin hip hop....or in my crib....jus chillin....datz like my dream yo...

it depends what age u r infinate .. otherwise i can't say .. but if your younger than 18 ... u might not be mature enough to be making desisions like dropping out of school to be a trashman and do hip hop on the side .. :P
I mean yeah do hip hop .. but u should have a "back up" plan .. It doesn't necessarly need to be academic .. u could have a trade like a macanic or something like that ...
Dreamings good and stuff but unfortunatly alot of stuff doesn't work out and if u give up in school when ur young because u can't cope with it .. then how u going cope with being poor (a trashman), having to pay bills and do hip hop stuff on the side.. esp. when people might laugh at u and whatever when ur rapping or writeing raps ... I just think u should think about this b4 making any implusive descisons ........
-
I know Infinite is at least 18.
-
has he finished high school ?
-
some pipz at 16 and 17 can be much mo mature than even 20+ year olds......depands how iz their life goin....
-
i m 19 and i feel infinites opinion/view of life
-
I'm 19 ya'll. I graduated highschool and dropped out of community college my first year. Since then I've just been working shit jobs and quitting them. Like $8.00 an hour jobs. I moved out as soon as I graduated because living with my parents was hell. My grandma saved money for me to go to college, and I've used some of that to get by. I want to get a job as a mailman, trashman, some shit like that where you can make enough money to support yourself, while doing my hip-hop, writing, and self-eduation thing on the side. Or who knows, maybe I'll end up passing my real-estate test eventually, and get my liscensce. But peace to everyone that felt me on that one and everyone that had something to say... much props.
-
yo infinte we are like the same person...i am 19, graduated high-school and don't have plans on continuing school in the near future...i barely made it through high-school with like a 60 average and many failed classes...and i am totally focussed on music, it is all i do when i am not working, well that and chillen with my girl...you ain't the only one homie, peace.
-
yo
to me it seems like everyone in here is basically dealing with the same problems....and while everyone had some good points, deep down, i think we all know that you have to follow our dreams man. because if we don't, then later on we'll always have that empty feeling and our live's will feel unforfilled y'all....and i know that's real because that's what my pops told me while driving me home 2 weeks ago when i was in the mindstate of "life is fucked" and didn't want to do shit. but now, it's like a have a new outlook and the world....like sure shit is fucked but alotta times, life is what you make it and even if you've had a fucked up childhood and some past bad experiences, you just have to get past them and do what you can to make it shit better for yourself....and instead of thinking "man, i can't do this" just do it, trying is better than nothing right? anyway, thats my 20 cents, lol
one, mouse
ps - what up jay! long time no see homie....you got msn?
TRUEEEEEEEE
i m still on icq....
no msn sorry
hope 2 catch ya soon though somehow
