what would you do? (no money vs. no surf)

i heard about this in a rap song...

go buy yourself $125 worth of cocaine (the 8 ball), a box of arm and hammer, some other miscellaneous mixers, and cook up a good batch of crack. Make it dirty too, like 3 grams produces a pound type of thing. Now take that batch out to Atlantic city at like midnight and unload it in the nickel slot machine room.

A few go-arounds of this and you'll be flying first class to Indo, you wont even have to stress the rain, winds, and dirty water associated with hurricanes. Dont forget my cut, 10% or a 10 day trip. Good luck, "cuz dem streets aint easy".

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha....seriously? No offense, but it's 2010...financial responsibility means making partial payments and running up the credit card because "everyone's doing it.". Sorry, man. I'm not laughing at you....just the statement.

As for the original question: If you are young and single and your debt won't impact anyone else negatively, do it up. If you are going to use a credit card, don't get nuts when you break the seal and start spending away.

BTW, it's refreshing to see somebody, at least trying to live within their means. Enjoy!

 

the real currency in this world is stoke... don't lose that buddy.

 

if thats all i had for two weeks man i'd be in bad shape. i would take the chance though, but only for a swell thats worth it. i been trying to do a lot of work myself when it's flat. summer, and fall/winter i try to make my slowest seasons. spring i make my busiest, because the swells are usually mediocre if not dead just like what we saw this past spring.

 

I said the same thing when I walked out of the grocery store with baby formula. That's when I felt the cuffs go on.......

 

2 weeks on $200?

Man, in college I used to stretch $20 two weeks and still live like a king...

 

No brainer man.
Get the wave fix and bum it like a pro.

I never have money. I blow that **** as soon as I make it.

 

Yeah, go surf... for real... And do the crack thing like the other guy said. Its the american way. The only way for a poor young man in this country to make an honest, quick buck is by dealing drugs, Godspeed sir.

 

What song is that? It doesn't sound like a rap song that I've heard of... doesn't even rhyme

 

I said i heard about it in a rap song, captain critical. Not "here is a rap song:"

 

lol... well what kind of music are you listening to where they talk about making crack?

anyway, you should ghost write for diddy.

 

...surf will get you through times of no money better than money will get you times of no surf!...

 

sell your dirty underwear on Craigslist

 

well, you have 3 options.
1- use the plastic to pay for gas and go $50 into debt, then pay it back when you get your check

2- use 50 of your $200, then eat 711 nachos/hot dogs every other day. its unlimited toppings, so pack on the chili and cheese, maybe even get an extra plate

or

3- make/sell crack/oregano

 

**** if you can get 8 balls for 125 ill take two!

 

i know that nothing will happen in LBI

 

You will be fine in Brigantine. And Ventnor and Margate felt pretty safe when I was there. I wouldn't advise leaving my car/board out in a back alley in AC. Just pay to park or something thats not real sketchy. Its a crapshoot down some of those streets. But you will be fine. Go to brigantine. Fickle, but I just scored it two weeks ago. Fun stuff. Good luck.

 

Im pretty sure a better question is, Which rap song from the entire 1990s decade did not give you steps by steps on how to cook crack. Pretty much any Biggie/Mobb Deep/Nas/NWA/Ice Cube/Dre track every written give you the breakdown on that. Gotta love it.

 

I can rember when my life was "simpler" All I worried about was payin the rent which was 300 bucks a month including electric and having something cold to drink in the fridge . I only drove my car to and from work and when i went on surf trips outa town . everything else I rode my bike. I didnt think twice about buying boards or wetsuits whenever I wanted.

Now I have to think a little more and priorities my decsions cause they just dont affect me anymore.

I wouldnt change any of it cause I am thankful for the journey life has put me on
