Poppa G aka G made a phone call to his high school buddy he has not seen in many years. G was going to visit his old friend to see how he was doing with his family and work life. Normally, G doesn’t talk or hang out with anyone from high school years mainly due to his decision to cut ties with almost everyone after what happened during the housing market collapse of 2008 – 2011. So G was really going out of his way to make this happen.
Once G got to see his friend’s 2 children in elementary or middle school, he couldn’t stop thinking about parenting, school education and so many high school acquaintances who passed away due to drug overdoses and those who are still stuck in a cubicle with that “thug life” & “scarface” wannabe lifestyle of heading nowhere fast in life. This event definitely took G down to a painful memory lane and made him reminisce about his teenager years and after.
There are countless rehab centers and programs in North America and all aroud the world. Then there are countless counselors. And yet, nevertheless, G has witnessed aand watched countless and neverending tragedies of drug epidemics over the years. If one of G’s buddy’s kids somehow finds his or her way to that environment, how is G’s friend as a parent going to prevent or save his kid from a doomed scenario that his kids cannot easily escape from? If parents talking to their kids about saying no to drugs was the solution, then every one of G’s high school acquaintances should be alive right now.
We live in a society or the world where people are brainwashed by media, money, popularity contest, influencers and social status. On top of that, people tend to have selective memories where they only remember certain things they only want to remember. Moreover, people are so selfish to the point now that it’s alright for somebody else to become a victim as long as it didn’t happen to them. To make things so much worse, we are encouraging people to ask for handouts and live off of somebody else like parasites with no gratefulness. If that is not enough, people are raising their children to be the leader of Poontang clan that they have no balls to speak the truth and fight for what is truly right and fair. Maybe it is because they were taught to run away from any kind of hardship instead of confronting a problem or challenge directly and without hesitation or avoidance even it meant putting their lives on the line.
If grown ass adults, especially the majority of Canadians and low IQ Americans, can’t even develop a third eye to see through the bullshit and understand what is really going on aroud them, how do you expect a high school kid or even a college kid to avoid pitfalls in life that are created by politicians, corporate executives or managers, fake friends and etc.? If they can’t even see that this world is conquered by money where a shit load of people sold their souls and it created wars, drugs, murders and terrorists, how is it possible for teenagers to navigate their lives until adulthood and after with their heads on the shoulders without proper guidance and wisdom? We have rotten people who are buying friendships or relationships with money and fame or social status. How are they going to know who they should be really hanging out and spend their valuable time with? What are they going to focus on while they are trying to figure out if they are a gay or transgender? Do they even know that the majority of so called friends they spent countless hours partying and bullshiting aren’t even going to be by their side when they are going through some kind of illness in the hospital? And do they even realize that they are only going to be nothing but a hashtag RIP post on social media for awhile once they die?
G indeed could’ve been a victim of drug epidemic and the lifestyle that came with the territory if he failed to evaluate every event objectively that lead up to his visit to the ER and an operating table. G was not overdosing on drugs, but it was an attempt to kill him with tainted drugs by someone who was suppose to be his partner at the time. When G was going through his near death experience during the housing market collapse period, almost nobody gave a f**k and his so called friends were caught up with stroking each others egos. Some people were even happy to see his downfall and laughing with each other for whatever reasons they had. If it wasn’t for a very few real friends and his will to survive, G could’ve easily died at that time without a doubt. G is not rich nor famous, but he is one of very few survivors, if not the only survivor, who actually made it out alive from drug epidemic in Port Crack full of rats, roaches and snakes, and living his life to the fullest when the majority ended up dead or still stuck in a broke Wanksta trap with pipe dreams and fantasizing of becoming a movie character, Scarface.
Even if your children don’t become one of these low life career criminals, there is a great chance that they will be hurting and ruining other lives as incompetent executives or managers of corporations, lazy hourly wage employees, shareholders, lawyers, tow truck drivers, mechanic shop owners, insurance adjusters, cops and you name it. They will think it’s ok because it’s legal. It doesn’t matter what their professions or social status are going to be, they will intentionally ruin other people’s lives in the name of maximizing profits or helping out incompetent friends/family or making money and paying their bills. And for some people, it’s not even about survivals or paying bills. It’s all about greed and all other dumb shit like they need money to fix their already ugly faces or eating $1000 steaks or being a sugar daddy to prostitutes. Who knows? So what are you going to teach your children in the event of judgement day? Telling them to go to a church on Sunday and pray for their sins is not going to be the solution. And whether you believe in god or not, is that what you want to teach your children?
People have different motivations and goals in life as humans. That’s why some people live their lives and measure their life goals or accomplishments by how much money they have or what kind of position or title they hold in organizations. However, Poppa G is different in that regard. His biggest accomplishment that he cares about in his life so far is that he lived and did everything without ruining lives of others ever since he woke up from an operating table during the housing market collapse of 2008 – 2011. He never made stupid decisions that led to layoffs of thousands of employees. He never slept with anyone to rob promotions and money of others. He never traded stocks or intentionally misled anyone and cause companies to go bankrupt. He never scammed anyone with crypto nor any other fraudulent schemes. He never used job security or quota as excuses to lie and cheat others.
While Poppa G was no saint all his life by any means, he realized that genuinely helping others can save one’s soul from his past sins. And he is not talking about donating some money to a charity. After talking to numerous parents with teenagers and college students, G found out that they were all concerned with their kids regarding drug overdose and etc. With all this in mind, G decided to share his story to help parents and others to prevent from their kids going the wrong path during teenager years and end up dead or homeless drug addicts. There are clear reasons and factors why G was able to escape a deadly trap that is extremely tough or damn near impossible to get out of. By sharing his story of how G went from laying on a hospital bed with 20K debt with no job to watching a NHL playoff game behind the rink shield in the desert, he hopes he can save someone’s life from drugs or shady backstabbing characters and never have to experience what G had to see and overcome during the darkest time of his life when corrupt politicians, drugs and corporate greed marinated with incompetentcy shattered so many lives.
