Dear Negashi, I always ask about you when talk to your dad. Tonight he was less than happy about your recent behavior. He says it appears that you think that it is an imposition to call and let him know where you are and when you will be coming in. I know that you want to be independent and he would like you to become an adult. as well, but you are not. Nor are you yet a responsible adult and considerate adult. I gather from your status is that you are vegetating. This Dream of Hip hop has taken up 4 + years of precious youth which could have been spent in pursuit of the knowledge/career that will sustain you financially and provide you with a secure future. Something that the deck is not stacked so high against you. What you told me about your sisters suggest that soon your sisters may by pass you. How will you feel then? 4 years from now will you still be meeting with your Peeps and hanging out , broke but hopeful? Have you considered that your mother may need help at sometime in the future. Will you be able to provide it.? Responsible adults think about the next generation and their responsibility to the previous one. . In your circles it may not be the norm that one is expected to call and reassure your housemates-- let alone parents-- that all is well and that you will be coming in at an estimated time or not. Unrelated persons living in Urban areas-- especially-- do this routinely. It is not related to age or dependent status. It is caring. Where you are concerned, I am beginning to wonder about drug use. Shaka already was a user when I saw you in Baltimore and always appeared to me to have an undue influence on you He is after all 2-3 years older. I now wonder about you .because I know that one of the things a user hates most is to be accountable for time and place. If I am wrong, or unfair forgive me, if I am right GET OFF THAT ONE WAY TRAIN! It won't take you anywhere but down. I was very proud to read that you were writing. You really have a gift for it. I like to think that you got it from me!! A book of essays about " HIP HOP INSIDE OUT" about your travels and experiences would be great . I bet it would be picked up by a major publisher and provide you with the wherewithal to go to Goddard or Bennington alone. Saving yourself is not a group project! I am going to try to come down there soon. I have to get some dental work to get done first. Please respond to this. I hope you understand that i really do love you and want you to live up to your potential Granma ********.
Man i dont know i told her to download Silver Medallion."
