I've noticed that some of you are a little naive when it comes to the life of a street guy. Maybe you have never met one in your life. So I am going to do you a favor. Look at this video. He's a character in a movie but there are many just like him in real life. If you think he is telling the truth then man oh man, do you have a lot to learn.
Do just that, learn from it. He is a bullshit artist. A deadbeat. A mootivan. Don't ever trust a guy like this. There is a good chance that the books/blogs you may be reading are filled with bs from guys exactly like this character in the movie. So take everything you read with a grain of salt. Most of it is bs.
Enjoy the video. Click link.
