One of mine...

I was an aint shit nigga back in the day.

usually i am very careful...but this time i was sick as hell with the flu.

so i get some medicine and fall alseep....wake up take more medicine and fall asleep.

so i get back home days later.

i am going thru my luggage to wash my clothes and found what looked like a condom wrapper corner. at the time i saw it...my lady also saw it. man i was shook. i snatched it up and went to thru it in the trash....

she said i looked suspect and grilled me for like 15 minutes.

i eventually gave it to her but never admitted to anything.

man .....turns out...the corner was from an alka seltzer packet i took.

so then i flipped it on some..you dont trust me shit. but she had a nigga shook tho.

When I was 14 one of my homeboys got killed over banging.

http://www.sfgate.com/news/amp/Boy-16-Arrested-In-S-F-Chinatown-Shooting-3003614.php

The bad blood between the Hop Sing and Jack son Street factions turned deadly February 17 when Ronnie Look, a 15-year-old member of the Hop Sing group, was shot to death inside a crowded Broadway amusement arcade.

Since then, police said they have beefed up patrols around the Sacramento Street playground in anticipation of retaliatory strikes, because members of Look's gang allegedly have vowed to take revenge.

At the same time, investigators continue to look for Clarence Ma, 17, also known as Qizhan Ma, who is suspected of killing Look.

That happening got me to slow down on the gang/street stuff. However, I got jumped by some dudes at 22 and got hospitalized over something really dumb. When my homeboys asked me about get back I was like nah, I need to stop being an idiot and take the L. Since that time I've tried to leave idiocy to the professionals and stay on the narrow.

Condolences. I heard about Hop Sing on Gangland
 
I wasn't shit for a long time but I attribute that to growing older. One thing I never did was actually accept the responsibility of my actions fully. Actually saying everything that happens to me in life is my responsibility regardless of the circumstances.

Really I got married and that is when I truly started to change. I started seeing the aint shit parts was still in me when I saw my wife's family. Her mom side and her dad side.

Both sides have their successful family members but her father side way of thinking is fake it till you make it. So they live above their means alot and seems to fall more than rise. Her mother side seems to plan out everything and save. So they live a very predictable but consistent life.

I was more like her father side. I was still hood and didn't even know it. Getting car insurance and dropping it when I got the card. Not paying off debt. Robbing Peter to pay Paul even when I didn't need to. Buying stuff and not thinking about why I am buying it. Little shit but big in terms of striving financially.

I was still drinking and driving, Still trying to fuck with chicks I supposedly cut off. Just overall making bad decisions. To a hood nigga, I was living a good life but to someone that wanted more in life. I was still irresponsible and making the same mistakes.

It fully hit me when I got in trouble at work over an inspection. I failed it twice over something small. But I should have been on top of it. That failure derailed my career. I was on a path upwards and it all fell apart after that. That was a wake up call of epic proportions. I am not fully what I know I can be. But I know no one but myself can make sure I see my dreams happen. I cant do it alone but I have to give more than anyone to assure it happening.
 
2016 was the man in the mirror year for Old Man Cain. Nigga went thru some bull, tragedy, life altering pain and lost. Had to get my shit together mane, had to do the 3 R's review, reorganize and repair my relationship's my finances and most importantly my attitude.

I had to go thru hell to get where I am today. Still need to work on my bullshit but everyone is a work in progress till your number is called by the most high....word
 
About almost 6 years ago. I was leaving a function that had way too much going on. I wasn’t involved in most of it but I was drunk, elevated and driving home at 5 in the morning. I pulled my car to the side. Houston and Bowery on the corner and had a talk with myself. I asked myself how cn I be living like this and call myself Rastafari. Praising Jah in the day and violating all of his laws at night(sabbath). Right then I let a lot of stuff go and changed my Livity. Now married with a child living a meaningful more positive life. Amazing how much can change in such a short period.
 
Dropped out of high school at 16 and turned into a straight pot head. Watching people i went to school with have money driving cars enjoying life while i sat on porch steps smoking joints and drinking st ides. Moms kicked me out at 19(for good this time) and that very day i had a wtf am i doing moment. Got my ged two days later then moved to florida to get away from my surroundings and stopped smoking weed. Ever since, my only real problem been women
 
i knew i had to walk the straight and narrow once i was doing launder and found some white panties.

my lady dont wear white panties.

i threw them shits in the trash thinking some chick left them in my bag or something.

turns out my chick was looking for them...she saw some cute white panties and bought them for herself.

once i found that out...i had to sit down and say to myself i cant keep doing this shit

Good move. Karma and the energy you put out is real.
 
After the following:
-Multiple instances of police abuse- they was on some bullshit but I realized I needed to change the way I was moving.

-Pockets wasn't right- looked around and realize i didnt own shit and only had enough bread to survive 2 months if they fired my ass

-Realized I was a slave to religion- grew up in a cult. Left that shit and tried various churches. Walked around feeling guilty about shit. Finally, realized it was ALL bullshit and a means to control me. Figured out what I believe and stopped trying to force feed myself OTHER peoples spiritual bullshit...

There's more but i dont feel like writing all that shit out..
 
got locked up one night and spent the night in bookings..... had to call my wife from the back of the police wagon before they took my phone...shit was difficult as hell to do handcuffed, but i made it work....


my homeboy who got locked with me had to damn near zap to get in the same holding cell as me cuz he knew once i fell asleep and started snooring , niggaz would try to wake me up, and that would cause an issue......

saw one of the old heads from around my way in that shit handing out breakfast the next morning...

he passed a message upstairs that i was in there, but he fucked it up, and niggaz thought i got locked up with two guns....everybody was bugging out..
it was like a really big deal, and i only spent one night over that shit...

i kinda realzied too many people care and depend on me for me to be out here doing dumb shit...
and this was before we had kids or got married, we were still just dating then....

but it was a changing point
 
without a long story the kids did it

used to be out there in that water butt ass naked and didnt think twice about it

could very well be dead or doing 10-15 years right now

first kid came and I just started breaking away from all that shit and the people that came with it, including my bm

I would just look around and see kids in messed up households and situations and be like "nah, not mine"

no lie, I hate my "new life" at times but its best for them and myself in the end
 
2nd dui....
Got put in a drug court type program and set to graduate in may. So while it sucked at first im glad im in this program. Been working living healthy and saving money..

so why do you hate it?
 
I was drunk as fuck about 5 years back and a prostitute stole 20 pounds from me, I was so drunk I couldn't even catch that crack whore, that was the last of my money and I had to walk all the way home, this I feel was the moment I wised up and took a good hard look at myself, all the way home I kept saying to myself "what the fuck am I doing?" I felt so ashamed and vowed to be a better man and that's exactly what I did/am doing

Lol... for the life of me I can't understand how you even began to muster the energy to live that kinda life. Fuck that I'd rather be single lol
 
Nothing as extreme as some. Since I had a shit childhood I steered away from the bullshit early.

Guess my points came with each child. Was working Best Buy part time and living with my in-laws while my lady was pregnant. Didn't want to be that guy so hustled for a new job. Thought I was doing it big at $32k, lol.

Moved out and back in with the in-laws when my girl got pregnant again. That's when I quit my job and went to business school full time.

Lady got pregnant with baby number 3 and I sat for each section of the CPA exam, passed all 4 first shot.

Now I'm finally out of the education/career hustle and enjoying this cushy high paying job.
