venting: CA EDD benefit claim page - mom n pop grocery store I worked at was sold to a chain few months ago & I finally filed for unemployment about 2 weeks before the world ended . apparently made a mistake on my claim (never done this before) and the letter in the mail showed up month later - but with $0.00 benefits . filled out another claim 100% accurately 2 weeks ago (since you can’t get a hold of a human on their phone line to fix an error/edit a claim) , & finally got an email to certify for benefits late last night (a step I didnt get to with my first claim) - but for $0.00 again . . I feel dumb as fuck for not applying sooner but I was running odd jobs for people/flipping shit while looking for a new gig , feeling good and interviewing for potential new employers then covid hit and now 3 million people are filing here me right now =

fucc really ?!?! god damnit , “never meet your heroes” all the shit I’m into is your gen stuff man , boom bap / 90s golden era stuff . I learned about all this shit from my uncle and swiping music from his cd tower in my grandmas garage when I was in elementary school . late 90s / early 2000’s Hip hop will always be my shit only person I’ve ever met face to face was questlove . Was during Kobe’s all star weekend party 2011 here in LA - uncles friend was doing security and got us in . I remember Matt Barnes was in line behind us while he was playing for the lakers hahaha . ?uestlove was kinda hidden in a corner by the ground floor bar with this fine Japanese girl . when she left for the bar I went up to him and fucking full on blanked , hit him with a “yo I dig your music man . . The roots my favorite band” . he laughed and said “ayyy thank you !!!” then I dipped when the lady came back , epic night lil Dilla tribute from the legendary roots crew :

been listening to a lot of bussa buSs here’s two produced by Dilla mb if abp

“Last” on the iOS App Store really helps taking the year off drinking , decided to throw in the smoke for a bit too . Had some champagne with wifey on nye and made this promise to myself to help attain some musical goals . then woke up to a call on Jan 1st from my mom saying my cousin/best friend was admitted to the icu on the 30th . no one wanted to tell me I guess and I don’t blame anyone . He ended up leaving us the day after he turned 30 . Jan 12 his 30th bday and Jan 13 he was gone smh dunno if this is for good but it feels great and I wanna keep my promise to myself with no drinking for a year , hope the app helps it’s kind of nice to see the numbers and the $ you’ve saved

haven’t been botting due to piano but there’s discord servers dedicated to sneaker botting/copping - you pay a monthly fee and gain membership into the server (these are called cook groups) which have a shit ton of info . Some are free (usually trash) , some are like $60 a month (pricey imo) . Some more organized than others , etc . Mostly run/backed by programmers who code site monitors/people with connects in the sneaker world . Usually used by botters but a lot of manual (non botters/legit trys) use em as well with success People who run these groups provide services like scraping websites for product id’s and early links , giving you location based raffle info (lot of retailers going raffle now to try and kill off botting - but now there’s raffle bots lmao) , upcoming restock info , shock drop info and all sorts of other good shit . All this stuff only increases your chances by a few percent , it doesn’t guarantee shit - with or without a bot . I’ve been on through drops where botters and manual (regular) users both strike out and are left in the dust - looking at you , supreme . covid relief murakami box logo tee tomorrow - US only , gonna be a shitshow for sure . I’m gonna try to manual one for kicks and probably just waste time that I should be spending practicing keys No lie I forced myself to learn all that shit tho after I read some dude post on niketalk about a certain bot taking mad stock on the Union LA jordan 1 drop (black toe pair) . During that drop I was faded running down the subway entrance tryna start the journey to my uncles spot from manhattan to Long Island . Was in line on the Shopify queue with my celly and lost service / my spot in line when I got into the train (my fault lol) . Was so heated , read that thread on niketalk post-drop in the airport and dove in on botting when I got back home to LA . Was actively botting nov18~Nov19 , but then I slowly lost interest . feel free to DM me for anything related to this stuff , like I said some people get really mad over this stuff lol - but copping a shoe online is harder than ever and you need every advantage you can get if you really want a personal pair in your size @ retail

Go up a 1/2 size in Daybreak SP’s !! Love the nappy suede / laces & silhouette in general - just can’t decide whether to exchange for a 1/2 size up or get my bread back n wait for triple blacks
