you cant afford kool-aid.

i remember i was a kid and i was staying at my dad's house. we went to the store, and got some shit for dinner. i remember trying to buy a little ass blue kool-aid packet, and my dad said "thats too expensive, put it back." and the thing was, he wasnt just saying that because he thought it was bad for me, it was because it really was too expensive we didnt have the money. im pretty sure we drove past safeway and albertsons to go all the way to the Grocery Outlet.

-thats just something i remember from back in the day, kinda funny, kinda sad at tha same time u kno? and we ended up buying some muthafuckin nasty ass GENERIC KOOL-AID because it was on sale for like 35 cents and it came with sugar already in it so we didnt have to buy it seperate. That was when i know we were strugglin, i just remember that moment for some reason...

what is some of yall's moments when you knew you were broke?

Taking piles of napkins, ketchup, hot sauce and any other condiment from fast food places.

Stocking up on top ramen.

Then it comes down to just stealing. Not saying you have to be broke to steal, but I stole when I was broke.

hey ive gone from rags to riches and back to rags several times in my life kalyn...its all true though...we didnt call the album "Hunger Pains" for nothin, lol

shit what else have it come down too.....of course you know ya broke when you never eat dinner at home, you always at SOMEONES house, yeah it sucks being a mooch but hey a man gotta eat

you know ya broke when you fuck fat girls cause they take you out to eat before and after fuckin

you know ya broke when you save 1/2 a tv dinner for the next meal

ykybw.....your eatin "now and laters" for dinner

ykybw you sit at a pizza place at midnight and look hungry and hope someones buys you some food

your eatin can good fresh out the can cause you got no dishes

,you have no power....you steal an electric bbq from a neighbors back yard and put it in your living room...steal 2 extension cords from the store, use a outside jack from a neighbros house to connect the ext. cords to the bbq and get power...run the line back to your house, go to safeway and steal as much meat as you can fit in you pants and still run.....go home and cook...just open all the windows and doors you can


"Look into my eyes and see a glmpse of hell
My facial expressions let you know my mind is somewhere else
Cause I done felt all the pain a person shouldnt feel
cold blood runs through every vain...dealin with these hunger pains"

I too have ridden the rollercoaster of life Musty.. hard times build character and give you the drive and determination to make it to the top..... its just that sometimes when we 'indulge' ourselves while at the top... it sends us back down to the bottom of the heap... just my thoughts on the subject...


** Sorry, didnt mean to threadjack**



White rice has helped me to make it thru some hard times.. white rice goes with errrrrything...

I live on Ramen and cheap juice mix, and cereal. What doesn't go towards rent and bills goes towards paying for fucking gasoline. Now and then I splurge and buy some fruit so I don't get scurvy. Sometimes I'll get a lb of turkey when I have a few bucks extra. We ran out of milk so I've been using water in my cereal. When I get a few bucks again I'll go buy milk.
