Damn, I've been outta high school a few years now and I work at the mall part-time. I see some folks I know I haven't seen in some years and today I saw a real cool dude I knew back in highschool. Dude is a few years younger than me and he always came to our basketball to cheer us on, he forgot my name but he remembered by face and he knew what position I played. I remember him cuz he was one of a few big black dudes at the high school and he just moved here from Houston. Anyway, when I saw him, his lips were hella chapped, his eyes looked gone, I presumed he just got done smokin' crack I mean his eyes was hella low and helllllllla red. He asked how I was doing and what not I said cool and all of a sudden he asks "Can I get a dollar to catch the bus?" I'm like yeah yeah. I give it to him and he thanks me and leaves but before he left he told me he was workin' for his grandfolks doin' "dry wall" or some shit. I noticed how chapped his lips were and I was like fuck, is dude homeless? Is dude a crackhead? Shit almost broke my heart real talk. Also at an earlier job I worked at this black dude was my assistant manager, real cool dude. Anyway he got fired and I haven't seen him in years and I saw him at the mall. He saw me said wassup and all and asked how I was doin' I said real good. I returned the question and he said "I'm walkin' with Jesus now!" I'm like what the fuck you talkin bout? You listenin to way too much Kanye. Then i realized I seen him walk thru the mall before and never saw me but I noticed he wore the same clothes and I remember there's a homeless shelter called Jesus walks right near the mall. But when I was workin with dude at my earlier job, he kept goin' to the bathroom. My other assistant manager told me he's snortin' caine, I was like no way. But when he came out he was tryin to clear his nose sayin his stomach hella hurted and now I see him and he tells me he walks with Jesus. Damn, shit kills me. Good people I knew are now poor with no job, wearin same clothes, and homeless. Fuck. I know y'all know some peers that turned crackhead and homeless. How y'all feel about that? I feel fortunate as fuck having my family especially my moms and pops. I mean these dudes are young dudes and to be homeless, most likely they gonna end up in jail and have no way of getting a real job for the rest of their lives. I feel so fortunate.
classmates/peers turned crackhead/homeless???

You wouldn't believe how many people I know fucked off their situations with drugs. It's such a tragedy to see folks I used to kick it with literally spend the night in dumpsters and become part of our society that most people label as "the pieces of shit", it's not tight. Heavy drugs ain't nothin to be fucked with, they can quickly ruin lives. Addiction reels 'em in quick and keeps a tight grip until every part of your being cries out to be R.I.P... I've seen so many of the old homies go down and its like a deep pain inside that reminds me to never go down that road. I wish I could help out my people but there isn't much I can do until they decide they want to change. Only then can I step up to the plate and make sure they follow through and provide them with the tools for success... I feel you dawg.
Almost all my homeboys from back in the day are fucked off anymore, be it meth or crack... 25-30 year old men with not a damn thing to their name.. smokin' dope in the back room at their mom's house... or stayin' in the lil garage out back.
Run into them when I'm getting gas or smokes.. I'm always down to buy them a beer or give them a couple dollars-- I usually just smoke a cig with them or whatever but there's nothing thats going to change that situation unless they step up out of it.. its not an easy thing to see .. my folks like that..
My sons' dad.. same shit... 3 months on, 3 months off.. he's been on the shit for 13 years now..

I have seen HELLA people I know fuck shit off over coke and crank, bein sellin it and goin down for years, using it and going down for robbery or assault, turn into snitches over the dope and fortunately, I have only lost one close friend to drug use. Its a trip though how drugs are so mainstream now. I was talkin to PSd the other day about it, and he said "We used to beat up dopefiends, now half of us are dope fiends" and it rang hella true.
On another note, why is it that EVERYTIME I run into someone from school that I haven't seen in a minute, I look like I just took a fat hit and left the house? You know, sweats, hair everywhere, no makeup on, tryin to run out to get some tampons and shit and it gotta be ahigh school reunion at the Quik Stop!

some people just have addictive personalities and grow dependant easily....i've seen people get addicted after smokin just one laced joint....next thing you know he's buyin quarters of yola just to smoke....
i'll never talk another homie into tryin a different drug again....i lost a homie that was like a brother, a man that i personally gave money to when he couldnt feed his family cause he lost his job...a man i shared bitches with, held down a block with....street family...someone i trusted....

I see the shit all the time. I work downtown Mpls. and see old friends/classmates all the time. Most of which are doing there 9-5 thing, same as me, tryin' to keep some blueberries in their lungs and money in their pocket. Then you got your used to be football star/popular guy a.k.a. dude swipin' all your puss twitchin' on the corner askin' for change. A good friend of mine in high school is schizophrenic and is homeless and can't really help himself, shit's fucked up. I just find it funny some of the people who thought they were the shit in high school, are takin' it up the ass for a hit now...............outro
I've seen allot of classmates turned dopeheads commin from the small towns there ain't shit but to be an alcoholic or a dopefiend to end up a bum under a burnside bridge to be pissed on haha.....

I have this one friend that i use to bang with back in high school. we were both in and out of juvie, but for some reason after we became 18 he still kept doin the same ol thing. this dude was wacked out on some shabs(ice) and tried to kill his mom. i picked this guy up from jon george here and there and he would say the weirdest shit. i even visited his ass there once and he was tellin me that when he gets crazy the staff strap him to his bed and inject his arm with a sedative and he goes right to sleep. this fool is off his fuckin rocker. the last time i saw him he rang the doorbell at my house and my moms said i wasnt home. so this fool with a stick and a bag at the end of it like some hobo in a rocawear fit walks into the sidewalk, turns to his side and nods his head and sticks his hand out to shake someones hand that wasnt even there. he was choppin it up with nobody for a brief moment. i just dont even want to kick it with his ass anymore coz i took him to eat some thai food and that dude threatened to kill me and his family as well as everyone we knew. fuckin wierdo.
Crazy, I just saw two of the dudes again today. My old assistant manager finally had some different clothes on, he had an echo sweater and some shorts w/a black sock and a white sock. Dude told me he just got a job gettin' paid $7, seemed real excited about it which was hella cool. I'm glad he's doin' thangs. BUT, where I work we sell merchandise for $20 and up. Dude told me he wanted an item and he knew the price and he was like "man I gotta save up for this, it's gonna take me 3 weeks" dude was hella serious. I wanted to give it to him but he's in a homeless shelter and who knows what'll happen, he'll get questioned for getting that item and rat my ass out. His eyes are like this OO wide the fuck open. I saw the other dude sippin on a drink and exiting thru the emergency exit, he didn't see me though. The mall has a bunch of fuckin broke ass weirdos always browsin'.
my ex beezys mom recently passed from aids and this chick got all stressed out.i seen her lookin real bad and i tried to tell her to not let this get best of her.a few days later she calls me askin if i could get some beam for her friend. ill told her hell knaw cuz i knew it was for her. about a week ago i seen her at old sac smoked the fuck out backpackin it.
Almost everybody I know is on meth or coke or pills or crack. It's fucking stupid. I have my studio people who are clean and really set up with their situations, but damn near everyone else is on some shit and wasting away. It's fucking stupid. Every damn friend I've ever had growing up is addicted to something. I have like 3 addicted to Oxys I have one that smoked himself retarded and quite a few who are Meth Montsters.
After a while, you lose sympathy. I still love those people, but I can't hang with them... they don't wanna do what I wanna do and I can't do what they do... it's fucked up.
