What is the biggest dilemma you've found yourself in?

Surrounded by 20 Hoover Crips outside of a Ice Cube 2Short show in Anaheim, Celebrity Theater. God saved me that night, can't go into real details without revealing my Secret Identity. We had met Cube in front of his moms crib and were following him to the show. This fool started speeding and we couldn't keep up, so when we finally arrived his bitch ass was already inside and me and the crew were in the parking lot trying to get past Security Even though me and my crew were well known.

Cube was the headliner so we didn't leave until maybe 9PM? Don't remember shit was 28 years ago and we were drinking Thunderbird and blueberry coolaid even though I was driving, with my dumb ass. Took about 45 Minutes to get there from Inglewood. Don't know how I found the spot, had never been there and there was no smartphone and no Thomas guide in the van.

Anyway, after 30 minutes or so of politicking we decided to leave. While walking through the lot I head a bam behind me and I see one of the homies wrestling on the hood of a car with a dude trying to take his Raider jacket. I break the shit up, and we try and bounce but cats was like nah, give up the coat. Me being Mr. Pro black hit them with the "We all brothers, Boyz n tha Hood" speech and this tall cat blindsides with the cheap shot.

So your boy has a cut mouth, loose tooth and the rest of the homies broke to the car to get the gat. A ninjas just snapped and started sleeping dudes left and right. While I'm Hulking these Chitaria ass dudes, their lil ass OG walks up and say "Leave big man".

I snapped out of my rage and got the homie out of there "With his Coat".

Reflecting on it, that was most gangsta and dumbest shit I ever did. I almost died for a $100 coat that wasn't mine and could have lost a tooth as well.

Mack 10?
 
Lol no. Mack wasn't even around back then. When we hung out with Cube it was from the CIA days. Sir Jinx (who the homies was about to whoop for trying to keep a borrowed chain) and JD and YOYO.

I go back with all of them before Jerry Heller
Kid disaster aka K Dee?
 
Never did. I hit rock bottom soon after and was barely even able to keep a roof over my own head. It took 2 years to get back on my feet and during that time I wasn't allowed to have any contact with her. Grandpa eventually let me visit her, but by that point we barely even recognized each other. After a while he started playing games again. For instance, I wasn't able to take her to the movies like I promised her because I forgot to wish him a Happy New Year. Wasn't allowed to give her a call on her birthday, etc.

That led to an even bigger dilemma.

On one hand, I could take him to court and I'd probably win, but on the other hand 1) I would be ripping her away from the only home and family she's known since she was 18 months 2) Her grandfather has more resources to look after her 3) Her aunt is a straight thug with a bunch of people that would easily put a bullet in my head.

In the end of the day she has a brother and two sisters that I do get to spend time with so for now I focus my attention on them. I still send her a christmas and birthday present every year (even though they somehow keep getting broken or go missing the day she gets them) and wait for the day she gets old enough to come to me. Neither of us live far from a BART station so it's only a matter of time.
Damn, man. This is some sad depressing shit right here!

So you are a white man & got caught up with a hood black chick and her family? That shit sucks that grandpa plays games

Yes. That's exactly what happened.

It was a family that embodied some of the worst stereotypes. When I was married into it I took on a lot of these stereotypes too. Even got involved in the family fraud business. Some of the consequences of those bad decisions follow me to this day.

I also realize that all the people who are deepest in the game are the ones doing the worst. Grandpa's relatively square, he was the cover that everyone else used to hide their dirt. He has a house they don't. My daughter's other aunt got a masters degree and became a squeeky clean professional. She has a six-figure income and no one else's comes close.

Hopefully my daughter realizes this and decides to go the right route. I got out of the game completely and started my own business and now I can make more money in one night DJing a party than I ever did popping checks.

Maybe one day I can show her.

I feel it fam...

I’ve got something similar to your story only difference is I have my son with me. Couldn’t imagine him being with his mother 24/7 or what kinda man he would turn out to be with just her involved in his life. Was your ex wife in on the family biz too?


Once again RIP to the Mrs.

She was. Once she showed me how easy it was to make money off a bank it was a wrap. We lived it up hood rich style. Two broke down cars, shopping sprees at Zales, gambling trips to Oregon, etc. Eventually I ran a scam on Avis and got popped for grand theft auto. That played a big part in losing my daughter. Almost got me deported back to Canada.

She knew how to make a way out of no way, but the stupid thing is that we DID have options. Both of us had degrees. I had two jobs. If we would have been less greedy and impulsive we could have got by just fine without breaking the law. Nothing dumber than having a diamond tennis bracelet and a head full of Bobby Boss complaining that you can't pay the rent. I'm just as guilty as she was though.

Thanks, and I will! Just have to keep saving, growing my business, cutting back my bad habits, and living a Spartan life. Get ready for the day that she knocks on my door.
 
Same shit happened to me in August.

Right before my aunt passed in August, my girl found out she was pregnant. I didn't tell my aunt she was pregnant because I had told her that I wanted to marry my girl first.
Then my aunt died.

My girl is telling everybody, it's both of our first child and she's older so she's excited. Told her mama, and her brother's longtime g/f /babymama and she talk too much, so everybody know on the low.

A few weeks later my girl and I go to the first ultrasound at 8 weeks....doctor says that ot looks like the sac is empty, like it stopped developing at 7 weeks. She said it was a "blighted ovum".

You talmbout disappointed? Dejected? :(:mad:
I held it together for my girl, I knew I had to be there for her. I reassured her that we gon make it through this, we gon tru again. I made sure I let her know that I'm certain about her having my child. We cried outside. She asked if I was still wanted her without a child, I said, "of course". Word had spread that she was pregnant, now word spread that she miscarried and she getting random texts & calls from family. I told her that she shoulda kept it to herself smh.

She was hopeful that there was a chance the baby could survive. She had to pass it, but didnt want to induce until it was confirmed that her hormone levels had dropped. She had her blood work done twice, and got a second opinion... she went ahead with inducing the passing.

My bday was 9/28... she was very emotional, randomly crying, thoughts all over the place, due to her hormones.

2 months later she left me, 11/30, . We had been up and down and bumping heads, not getting along.

For 3 months I been sick! We were going to counseling last year, and we've been a couple times since she left. She say she not focused on relationship now, she working on herself and want me to work on myself, and maybe we can grow back together. She told me when we were still together that she thought counseling was gon push her to leave me, and me being confident, I say, "well maybe that's what we need in order to be happy." I ain't want that to happen, I guess I didn't think it would.

Fam I'on know if I'ma get her back, and I know there are other fish in the sea.... but I... we .... were building something. I want a family.
Now I'm back to coming home to an empty apartment.

Haven't told her I found a house, close on the 26th.
My nigga if u need anything

having a child with her was something that i really wanted.....and so did she.
but after her apppointment at the doctor today.....looks like that might not happen.
the embryo is developing outside the uterus. so if she tries to carry the child full term, chances are highly likely that it will kill them both.


Blessing brothers and board. I was blessed with my second son last year right before my mom passed. My first son is 22. Only two people on this board know but I can tell you it is amazing. My lil dude is a gift and since I'm older and retired there is no struggle. My Gf is a doctor with her own 4 year old. She work 3 jobs, We chilling. Man I know we clown and fuck around but we human. A lot of us go through some real shit. When we share we relieve ourselves of the inner pain and I can only respect that. No judgments, just mutual chill. Stay up fam!

Man, this shit really sucks. life just ain't fair. Gives kids to POS' who really shouldn't be allowed to have kids and when to decent motherfuckers with good heads get together shit like this happen

Shit just ain't fair. I feel you both. I'm 42, I don't have any kids because I want to be a father, not just another baby daddy, you know.

I hear you two guys stories and I tear up. I don't know y'all, but I know y'all, you dig? All I want is a little guy or girl who looks like me to try to be a better man for them than I was shown

That good example. To hear you guys' struggles just...it's fucked up, man. I'm sorry to hear about both of you guys' troubles

On base in Ali Al Saleem back in 2006 in Kuwait, I saw a sand viper.

I wasn't the first one who saw it, but everyone around me was freaking out. I was 29, and I had been handling snakes since about eight years old. For the most part, nothing big, just snakes are found in the yard in Ohio (I'm not including the Eastern diamondback I caught in Meridian, Mississippi back in 96). The three venomous snakes in Ohio are all found south of Columbus.

A lot of people are scared of snakes and react poorly when it comes to dealing with them, but on that day I was surprisingly calm.

Some people had weapons drawn, 9mm, one person even had a loaded M-16 (or M-4, I was in the Navy and don't know much about guns). People we're screaming, but I took control of the situation and told everyone to back away.

The worst thing you can do on a base in a war zone, (Kuwait is still considered a war zone), was fire a weapon. those who are around with know that you are shooting at a snake, but those who hear the gunshots would believe we are being attacked and all hell would break loose.

I knew that and calmed everybody the fuck down and told them to back away. Meanwhile, the snake is striking because people are surrounding it.

I had studied snakes for years and knew that the sand viper was the third most venomous snake in the middle East.

I grabbed the M-16, cleared it, and put the butt of the rifle on the snake's head. Once the snake's head was secured I picked it up.

Exclamations from everywhere, "Dude, you're fucking nuts" "Godofwine, you crazy, man." "That ninja think he's the black crocodile Hunter" but I stayed calm, held on to the snake's head, had someone dump out an ammo container and put the snake in there. (Ironically, 2 months later the crocodile hunter was killed)

I walked with the snake in the ammo container about half a mile with a buddy of mine who held the M-16. At one of the farthest fences from the main part of the base, I dumped out the ammo container, used the M-16 to pin down the viper's head so I can pick it up again, and threw it over the fence.

I thought the dilemma was simply if I had gotten bit, I would have had to get anti-venin. What I didn't know, was none of the higher-ups at thought to supply anti-venin on the base!

So, had I NOT known what I was doing and allowed the snake to bite me, I would have had to drive to a base over an hour away for treatment... Which likely would have meant my death.

So, my tempting fate made someone higher up realize that maybe we should supply anti-venin on each of the satellite bases and not just the main base in Kuwait. So it's possible I saved lives by risking my own to get the sand viper off the base. The picture of me holding it is floating around here somewhere

You better than me man...they found a King Cobra in the Mail Depot when I was in Iraq..heard if you got bit by one, the closest antidote was in Jordan...nah im good fam..lol
