So for 2 weeks I couldn't go do break dance or practice. I woke up this morning, was supposed to take day off like I usually do first day of the month. But I said what the hell, do I really need to rest? Plus, by some miracle the pain completely went away.
I predicted rebuilding would take up all summer, I'm paying for all the shit I did/didn't do in beijing. Come september im gonna hit the reset button, and pull myself back on track where I was. Am I stressed out? probably. but do I ever for a second doubted getting back to where i was? hell no.
i'm spilling random thoughts, i'll try to tie it all together by the end of this entry...past 2 days I been grinding with paape, something we stopped doing for a while...we started this thing lately where we would write rhymes back n forth...what I learnt from all this is this: I need this nigga by my side, if not physically, I need his presence in some form. If you think it's gay you can do yourself favor and stop reading.
I write rhymes, but my best ones are from the times we write together, while we grind, send songs, and bullshit. My best poker months came from a period where constant motivation, communication between us was not just a must, it was the air we breathed. out of all the regs, our 4man results were the best and that's hard statistical results. I stopped working out for almost a year, parents, friends all tell me to exercise more but I don't listen. Paape calls me and goes "john, i want you to start taking breakdance classes" and boom I do it right away.
We believe in each other, not blindly, when I tell him my thoughts, goals, no matter how unrealistic, "DO IT" is what I get from him. it's not fake either, basis is we both competitive and passionate and we both involved in something that's literally the purest form of hustle. decisions we make on a minute-minute basis is what determine profit. dude just placed 2nd,3rd mtts back to back in past 2 days. I'm feeding off him, i was walking down to the store to buy cigarettes and all I saw was dollar signs literally like it's the 1st of the month.
My life did a 180 recently, too much shit happened in such short notice. I couldn't accept them all at once but what choice do i have? I've been living under such double standard hypocrisy bullshit almost my entire life. the greatest joy in life was from the years I was out on my own. I've always fantasized revenge and the satisfaction I would get but I'm afraid that might never come anymore.
it's all good, because this is what i'm all about...I excel at times like this because it's so raw and simple. desire, discipline, dedication is all i need. I have a goal, a target to reach and a certain amount of time to get there, all that's in the way is not being my own enemy along the way.
i took a shit jus now and it felt awesome, i flushed down all the bullshit ideas incepted in my brain this past year, all the negativity i was fed. i don't need other ppl's opinions, especially on this matter...especially when most of these opinions are from ppl of inferior intellect.
some ppl want a challenge in life, some want to play it safe, its cool and i respect both. but don't be a hypocrite, don't tell me to play it safe when you gambled with your future when you were at my age. it paid off didn't it?
been listening to a lot of curren$y lately...dude's awesome, love how he's rapping about his life. his story is awesome, dude sold music for free and drives a Ferrari out of sheer discipline and talent. I saw the video of him driving it for first time and the excitement in him when he said "i don even have a bed to sleep in and i got myself a Ferrari" HAHAHA awesome.
this shit never gets old, call it mashochism or watever, but at least at the end of it i know i'll either be way up in sky or way down bottom of ocean.
blood related or not, you cross that thin line when you get in the way of my hustle, this is not the first time, think wisely before you give me any additional stress.
