When was the last time you committed yourself to something, and stuck to it religiously, just to realize that it wasn’t worth the effort and you’d been wasting your time? Following my post about never quitting, I think it only makes sense that I talk about making a felicitous decision to move on, or deciding to change your approach, to guarantee the best expenditure of your time when working toward a goal. As a writer, what do you think my biggest goal is? Well, you should stop worrying about that, mind your business, and just enjoy the knowledge that I’m dedicated to dropping. Do you or have you ever felt like you have something to prove? As someone who doesn’t give a fuck about people, my primary focus is always doing what I believe is best for me. Listening to idiots and being pressured causes a lot of people to act impetuously, which is assured to knock them off course—and may even permanently prevent them from accomplishing their goals. Please, take it from Beau Amoureux, stop giving a fuck about people! How many people do you think relinquish their goals ahead of time after being discouraged by a stupid motherfucker’s opinion? Whatever you do, never take advice from unintelligent, unhappy, or unsuccessful people. Hateful people are some of the best manipulators, and they will do a great job of convincing you that they mean well by steering you away from where you want to be. If you don’t take life seriously enough, you probably believe I take things too seriously. But I regret to inform you that if you lack seriousness, your triviality and facetious outlook contributes to the perpetuation of frivolousness in society. Think about it like this, we are all both products of our environment and prisoners of circumstance. If it’s normal for the people who influence you to take everything lightly, that’s going to create a trend. And trends are inevitably popular because the most impressionable people are those who don’t take life seriously. Now, I’m not trying to poop on anyone’s party—please enjoy your life as much as humanly possible. But how the fuck are you going to live your best life if your thoughtlessness is always creating problems for you? Going back to the initial topic, it’s time to move on or switch it up whenever your decisions are constantly creating extra obstacles that halt your progression or inhibit your success. However, again, don’t let any pressurizing parties create deadlines for you or direct your approaches. If slow and steady wins the race, and going too fast is bound to make you crash, do what makes the most sense. There’s plenty of stupid motherfuckers who would love to, and have attempted to, tell me how to do what the fuck I want to do. But if I’m doing what the fuck I want to do, what the fuck does that have to do with you? How do you maintain your positivity? Personally, staying positive is as simple as staying the fuck away from people. In my opinion, and there’s facts to support my claims, humans get a lot of shit wrong and refuse to change their perspectives. The truth of the matter is, a lot of people would be better off without the people who are currently in their lives, and even more better off if they minimized their interactions with people overall. How many different versions of normal is there? Like I said before, I believe that normality is based on tradition, convention, and religion. Meaning, being normal is accepting consented ideas and following standards. And only the people who follow trends—the unserious motherfuckers—would believe that normalized ideas and standards can’t be altered or replaced. I have a challenge for everyone who is serious about enjoying their life to the fullest. Starting from the time you finish reading this post, take everything associated with the biggest trend you follow, and get rid of it!
Yo, Elliott Wilson, fuck Charlamagne! I just had to throw that in, no real reason why. I didn’t watch the reboot of College Hill on BET, but I just saw a clip of reality personality Joseline Hernandez getting pummeled by model Amber Rose, and Joseline was asking for it—she deserved that shit! What’s more, I believe that altercation is a perfect example of why being outspoken is often ill-advised. The idea that bluntness and boisterousness are signs of mental fortitude is a deleterious misconception. Blatant disrespect, especially when it’s characteristic of a person, is many times an indication of said person’s susceptibility to being disagreed with or disapproved of. And if a motherfucker is offended just because someone refuses to accept their point of view, or because they don’t like them, they’re probably a weak-ass person. Now, that explanation only applies to the matter at hand, so don’t go using it as an excuse every time you want to blame someone else for the shit that you started. Joseline Hernandez could be the spokesperson, mascot, and representative for all things bullshit. Joseline has a problem with nearly everyone she crosses paths with, she can’t control her temper, she’s violent and heartless, and she doesn’t give a fuck to an extreme. If you respect Ms. Hernandez’s disrespectful nature, you’re probably a weak-ass person. There’s a time and a place for everything, right? And though powerful energy is necessary in some instances, it’s normally not needed for ordinary, everyday interactions. In black culture, nonsense has always been trendy. As a result, niggas have never abstained from nonsense. In addition to Joseline and others, I think Charlamagne is another great example of someone who doesn’t know when to shut the fuck up. If you’re an OG fan of The Breakfast Club, you know that Charlamagne has been very controversial, callous, and contradictory. Charlamagne, it’s not your unnoticeable, self-proclaimed lisp that causes people to disregard you and minimize your opinions, it’s your distinctive lack of seriousness. Lenard, if you want to be taken seriously, you must be respectable and reliable, but you’re offensive and off-putting. The difference between me and other assholes is that my core values are unassailable. I think many people can tell where my intensity derives from, and they deem it authentic. Whereas with Charlamagne, when commenting on serious matters, it seems like he doesn’t mean what he says. In other nigga news, battle rap’s knockout artist, Hitman Holla, is beefing with fellow St. Louis battler, Aye Verb, and I’d honestly love to see the two former friends get it in. There’s a compilation video on YouTube that shows Hitman hitting a bunch of men with stiff, hard blows! Aye Verb is a pretty motherfucker with a soft-ass voice, and the running joke in battle rap is that he’s a closeted homosexual. I can neither confirm or deny whether the rumors are true. As a long-time battle rap fan, I must admit that I’ve not been excited for a battle since Brizz Rawsteen backed out of his highly-anticipated bout with Murda Mook. However, me and a few of my admirers did catch the Loaded Lux vs. Rum Nitty battle on bootleg, and I wasn’t disappointed. But if any form of niggatainment exemplifies the permanence of perversity in the black community, it’s battle rap. Battle rappers brag about bad decisions like they’re accomplishments, and the audience applauds that shit. Niggas encourage each other to ruin their lives, and assist each other in doing so. For me, it’s difficult to empathize or sympathize with stupid motherfuckers. I’m an intellectual thug, so stupidity ain’t really my thing. To all the niggas reading this, what scares you the most? If you claim to have no fears, I regret to inform you that you’se a motherfuckin’ lie! And that internal dishonesty—the inability to be honest with even yourself—is what kills niggas too soon. At a minimum, everyone should be fearful of dying unnaturally or prematurely, because that fear is what fuels a fighter. So, if you ain’t scared, you better keep 911 on speed dial! Peace.
