Hustlers

I work with a large number of people that did not grow up around men and women who hustle for a living. Hustle means more than sell dope to those who automatically put it in that box. It means anyone who chooses how much they are going to make. The worth of their time and expertise is not dictated to them by some unseen face at a company. To keep it simple nobody will pay you like you pay yourself. This goes across a limitless scope, but I will focus on those that public opinion or those who say that “it's not right.” I mean women that strip, people that rob; I am talking about anyone who does not get their money from working the traditional 9-5. So if you are not accustomed to people living like this you may have issues in seeing what they get out of it. Why would you risk your freedom just to make a few extra dollars? If you get caught you are going to go to jail? Aren’t you worried about your freedom? Aren’t you worried about what your parents will say or what people will think?

Yes you do worry about what your parents will say. You worry about what the preacher says. But I have seen preachers totally change the way they preach when the right contribution hits the offering. I have seen mothers shut the fuck up when all the bills get paid before they see it. I have seen women leave the man they want, to be with a man who had what they wanted. As far as jail goes you live in jail everyday of your life. Every morning you get up earlier than you want to get up. You put on cloths that you really don’t like to wear. And you spend at least eight hours of your day with at least one person you cannot stand. Its muthafuckas telling you what time you can eat how long you can be gone to shit and take a piss. You can’t use your fucking phone when you want. Everyone around you is trying to stab you in the back. All this shit just to keep the shit you really wish you could throw away. To stay in an apartment that you wish gave you more room. To keep a car that you really wish was in better condition. God forbid you get there late. God forbid that you have to take a vacation. But I have benefits, you can get your own health insurance from a private company and it will give you better coverage than most of the companies in the US. Why because it is tailor made for you not a bunch of people that you will never see. When was the last time you had sex in the middle of the day. When was the last time you cashed a check and all of it was for your enjoyment, because you covered this month’s expenses 6 months ago.

The common person on the street selling tee-shirts makes about $150 a day. If you make $1000 every two weeks he is beating you. And he doesn’t have to take piss test. He doesn’t have to ask can he be off to go out of town. As a matter of fact he can make money while he is out of town. I want to say thanks to Marc, Jay-Clipp, and Allen for showing me the rabbit hole. I want to say thank you and I am committed to putting myself through another 4 years of learning. That means in four years I work for me and me only. I hope this inspires you to say fuck a 9 to 5 I want a hustle. I want to control my time. I cannot tell you the entire route I have been taking but I had a realization the other day made things very clear to me. If all you have is a result of you doing the best you can with what you have. Ask yourself the question: am I happy with where my life is and the things I have done? If you are not happy or to say the least satisfied you have to learn more. You have to give your self more knowledge than you have in order to get out of life what you want. You have to humble yourself enough to gain more knowledge and understand that it will take time. I haven’t been writing because I have been trying to learn.

I also want o say R.I.P. Kermit from Mississippi State University. He passed away in a helicopter crash in Iraq; he was a soldier in the Air Force a father and a husband. He was also a good dude. I remember Kermit from college we lived in the same dorm. It’s funny how many great men and women are dying in this war. Who will be left to run our country……. oh yeah the rich kids that didn’t have to join because they have enough money that going to the reserves for college money isn’t an issue. Kermit always wanted to be in the service sleep in peace playboy. Take care of your people, I’ll get at you……. Freedom
