John D. Rockefeller once said, Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.” George Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish playwright, gave it to us like this, “We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” Then Denis Waitley, the motivational speaker, broke it down so that it would forever be broken when he spit, “The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
Well playas…you can’t give a boy those gifts if you’re sittin’ around playin’ video games. I asked the question sometime ago, “What’s the difference between a man and a boy?” Let me break it down for you pimpin’. “A man takes care of his family and a boy takes care of himself.” A grown man, for the sake of this argument, is a person that is at least thirty years old, married or not. With that bein’ said, if he’s busy takin’ care of his family or his business there is very little time to spend playin’ video games.
A grown man has responsibilities that go beyond the scope of himself that reach into the realm of other’s lives. So when I hear of grown men playin’ video games on a regular basis, I shake my head. Why? Because they either aren’t workin’, aren’t workin’ hard enough or not tryin’ to work hard enough. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have time to play games all day.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I can understand playin’ every now and then with your son or daughter to burn off some stress and bond with the kids. However, if you’re an avid player of on-line circles and you’re good enough to be ranked in the world you’re neglectin’ your family, job or something because there’s only so much time in a day playboy. And if a boy is single and sittin’ around playin’ games his REAL game is weak! Catch that one later.
If you’ve got that type of time of your hands you should be tryin’ to figure out how to make more bread. A man can never have too much of that. Since video gamin’ isn’t payin’ a salary and doesn’t have the potential unless you’re one of the best in the world, you’ve got to find somethin’ else to do. Because on some real talk, the duns that made XBox, PlayStation and whatever other gamin’ system boyz are playin’ these days, they’re already rich. You need to be tryin’ to get rich homeboy instead of makin’ them more money. A real man is constantly tryin’ to figure out ways to improve himself because it’s his responsibility to find ways to step his game up. And I’m not talkin’ about videos either. I’m talkin’ GAME! Self improvement is the key to wisdom and growth and last I checked video games don’t provide that.
Gamin’ is a hobby that kids and college students should be involved in because they’ve got nothin’ else better to do. They go to class and hang out. So gamin’ makes sense for that age group of duns and young duns in their twenties but a grown man with or without a family should be on a grind. He shouldn’t be sittin’ around playin’ games when there’s always somethin’ that needs to be done. Like helpin’ the kids with homework, cuttin’ the grass, fixin’ things around the house that are broken and most importantly, spendin’ time with the wife or the potential wife. I’m just sayin’!
If you’re not careful the lights, gas and even your wife or girlfriend, dependin’ on your marital status, will get turned off by your behavior and one out the three of them will be hard to turn back on, literally. I’m just tryin’ to help you out bruh before you lose the ultimate game. Wastin’ time in front of a television playin’ games doesn’t improve your resume in or out of the house pimpin’.
I hear these cats sayin’, “What’s wrong with burnin’ off a little stress every now and then playin’ Madden or NBA 2K? Absolutely nothin’ bruh, if it’s every now and then. I’m not talkin’ to that guy, I’m talkin’ to the cat that spends the majority of his time playin’. The majority of a man’s time should be spent doin’ three things; praisin’ God, nurturin’ his family and makin’ money in that order. If you aren’t doin’ that in my opinion, you just haven’t become a man yet because REAL grown men are constantly on a grind.
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Pimpin’: noun – the person that I’m passionately tryin’ to get my point across to.
2) Dun: noun – the person in question dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ to bruh.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
