Did you finally get ahold of the finances and can make future plans?

Are you making your families life easier by being your best you?

Lets talk about it.
 
I've been digging myself out of debt for 2 years now. I'm pretty much out of it at this point though.

Got a promotion with a dollar fifty raise back In March I believe.

saved up and will be going with family to see the west coast in july.

Seeing nas in concert this saturday.

Looking into schools/courses to figure out a trade of sorts that I can do. Spoke with my mom about it and since some of these schools will be 10 months or more during the days I would have to quit my current job, but she's supportive of it and says once I'm decided on what I want to pursue she would assist with housing and what not. Meaning I'll probably have to move back in with the family, but it wouldn't be for too long. Will suck though.

Ain't did hard drugs this year.

Been at the gym 5 times a week for a little over a year now. Seeing gainz.

Will start 2 a days at the gym next week since a buddy wants to start.

Ain't have over 25 grams of carbs a day at all this year.
 
I have become a better person and a better father, at this point that is my main focus....also been killing the gym and helped out a good friend of mine who was in a bad place, the money is next on the agenda but I am not struggling or in debt so all is good.
 
Stopped drinking after 10yrs of straight alcohol abuse.




Returned to weed after 10yrs off
 
Im goin to Warren G on wednesday.

Where are u seeing Nas at? Arnt u in Alaska?

Yep. Mr. Nas is blessing us with his presence on saturday at a pizza restaurant.

I know it sounds crazy him performing at a pizza spot, but this pizza spot is not your normal everyday pizza spot. they make fancy pizza's and make millions and they are a huge tourist attraction haha. Seen them on the travel channel a few times. Place throws dope concerts every month in the summer time.
 
Thats dope.

Nas came to Iowa once a couple years ago. Was top 3 live rap shows i ever been to.
 
Raised my credit score by 80 points

Moved to live amongst rich niggas with the wife

Got another car

Not fall into the same pitfalls as far as these sluts go

Fractured my knee

Arrange to go to therapy


That's all I got right now
 
One of the biggest thing is continuing school, and making sure I finish.

Other thing is mu house and whateva projects I need to get done with that.
 
Good shit...you smoking during the day?

When i can. Have do sneak around my kids which is harder now that its summer vacation.

So far today ive had a joint and a bowl. About to have another bowl.

I need to buy a dry herb vaporizer to cut down on smell and it will make it easier to sneak some hits.
