Dropout Philosophy

why does this continue. i’m so sorry

sleepy ramble about how we miss the origin of the audacity of children and we often miss the mundane and parental ways we can build our relationship with our inner child. not a professional tho so don’t mind me.

i understand the reality dating and marriage shows are very entertaining and i’m happy for you if you watch em tho.

idk i haven’t listened back to know what it’s about

idk

i do speak about assault, homophobia/transphobia/racism/ableism. i’m tired and i know it’s not even like i do enough, i’m just tired

it’s literally not even our business. i don’t mean to minimize the layers in this issue, like colorism and patriarchy and racism… but this is how i see it for now.

i was supposed to be reading

bruh….. why am i so bad at this 😂😂😂 more episodes coming soon

drive safely & responsibly please. i’m yelling, it’s raining, i accidentally called hazard lights blinkers

thanks for listening.

you can’t peer pressure a real nigga

i talk about doing things while i do things like make dinner

bajillion dollas

yep

we go all over the place, like literally good luck keeping up fam. the truth is complicated. my/our/the truths. i get mad so.. be prepared.

we have a guest tonight 🥳 you can find candace on the interwebs @candacerogue / @501rogueland - we talked about the artist way and cackled at our own jokes.

so sleepy. get in we're going timeline jumping

language warning: it gets raunchy. 🤷🏽‍♀️ i tried to google bio elitist before i hit publish to make sure i wasn’t using the phrase completely wrong and it’s basically not even a thing, that’s how bad at being victims yall are. embarrassingggggg!! i’m going in on this one i come for the pasty, horny-for-robot type mf and the churches that are obsessed with the gays all y’all are LOST! i say some pretty terrible things though so consider yourself warned.

between this and “don’t look up” i’m over it.

it’s ok to not have a perfect explanation, it’s ok to follow the inner wisdom

all of it is here, so all of it must be blessed/welcomed/acknowledged! - so many people i need to get y’all hop to, i’ll update the show notes and add something to the officialshmay website real soon.

make space & apply the fundamental preparations for the new thing. i was too lazy to stop podding while i was on live

i’m deflecting from an existential crisis, i’m happy to admit that rants about men and society are easy targets when i am at a loss for words to describe my existence. not sponsored.

chaos chaos chaos & a balanced meal. i am happy!

not f*cking with forms g

if i’m an airplane, right? idk. rambly ramble. i know it sounds insensitive, but i think connection can be practical

pls excuse my morning voice. redefine terms for yourself and re-examine what you need to do.

sleepyhead by henry nicholls is a genuinely entertaining and insightful book. i talk about sleep apnea, cataplexy, bias and fat-phobia. my dog comes in for the final sign off.

don’t be an idiot

i forgot to hit publish

imagine thinking humans are the most intelligent thing around or that there’s no “magic” to anything

simulations are a way to experience what is. a mirror is a simulation. the people and experiences you engage with are mini simulations to declare and “rediscover” what is (or who you are).

the self if just a simulation based on how we think a human would feel

i fell sleep

isk

idk idk blah blah blah v sleepy. y’all r not afshdhudndke

be useful!!! if u won’t be abolished be useful until we figure out how to do that!!!

choose enjoyment over desire & attachment! and notice where you have desire and see what you can work on to have a less possessive or lack-centered view. books mentioned: 1. Aware by Daniel Siegel M.D. 2. Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat 3. ??? (pending. imma have to relisten)

if you think “you should traumatize your parents if they traumatized you” is a good suggestion block me back you ‘murrica a$$ b!tch. obviously gunna use bad words and talk to you straight. prepare yourself i’m sick of it. - also visit the shop officialshmay.com

now i gotta decide between churros and peace of mind you should be ASHAMED OF URSELF. ranty-ramble, enjoy

so i’m both high maintenance and materialistic but not in a way where those things could ever out-leverage my logic & natural tendency to be difficult… u know? ✨✨✨✨✨ also go shop officialshmay.com please, my shirts are funny and 25% of profits are going to a donation for the Disibility Visibility Project (founded by Alice Wong). learn more on the site ✨✨✨✨✨ idk if hashtags work but let’s see #ramble #highmaintenence #dating #churro

radical self acceptance is the key if you really want to move on from your current self. "im on my way" no you are not you are just now getting out the shower quit it! theres nothing wrong with where you are. you are already there. the good news is you want to go be somewhere else. in short, stop waiting to ask for directions until you get womewhere else

shut up bro

yareyareda ze (good grief in japanese according to googles) - its giving rom com main character before or at the beginning of the montage of improvement! like ur rooting for her but she is definitely not at the finale and be falling on her ass a little

oh boy, we talk sun and size and heat and entropy and change and babies and math. good luxk

i recorded this hella late on juneteenth and while the production is straight cheeks, the message is real. enjoy, ily

ahh shit here we go again, that’s right i’m back to being mindful n intentional what’s good

think piece based on a very non-threatening, innocent-enough comment from a lonely man.

untitled ep. content warning? pain? idk

sometimes i’m just here to keep it going but i’m always here for the real life experience and philosophy

you dont fucking care. and if you do, act like it this not a game.

what are you preparing to get more of?

risky bidness

i tried to tap in, but the body keeps score you know? correlations are made, points also were made. lots of yawning also

is it traffic or is it a vibe

you gotta get out the comfort zone manually before you get yeeted out the comfort zone

lettuce pray i make the right decision and don’t look dumb?

smells like a trap ladies and gentlemen, also it’s fuck the pilgrims these ways

judgement traps and other performative rituals

micheal singer came for me so you gotta hear it too

another walking adventure!!! and we discuss what fractals can do for you

what's important now tho? and why did this take 4 tries

how should i know how to even be selfish the right way

shits crazy

duality is an experience, balance isnt a destinations. i will revisit this.

ur the boss not the baby! (disclaimer i do not know what its like to have kids yet (praise God) so these metaphors are just metaphors. bear with me)

can we collectively agree to stop making yt women who exploit or fetishize blackness... famous? can we stop giving that show any views? im begging you. its old.

ion know im just here so i dont get fined

this is a masterpiece tbh. we got bugs, content, construction, margaret, metaphors, rambles, pennies, loud, hills.

i should b sleep.

shit is rigged i tell you!!!!! damn u dociety!

“why did we believe things matter more because we achieve them before 30?” listen i just wanna get to be myself before i die idk fam

stop calling it being woke and start just wanting to know the truth about reality????

is micheal being micheal worth micheal being micheal?

i really be taking nonpersonal things personally and ive decided to stop doing that. wasteful! haven't decided to stop running when i see a wasp but im ok with that. it keeps me uoung

yes another men rant, i'll stop making them when yall stop bothering me

start that thing

"we as women are being told that we can have whatever we want and" go to hell 😂 this is not a safe space if you a maid get outta here go hide behind somebody's balls cause i gotta say something.

its rly not about you making shit into a business or becoming famous for creating content. its just about creating your own content just to contribute to what everyone else sees. youre an original.

david allen is one of my fave old yt men thought leaders. heres one of rge most basic pieces of the GTD method

a hefty conversation. lets chat about how the problem is not that the weekend is too short. that right there is the sound of people who are being exploited.

following up from ds #144 bc yikes

s/o dr demartini

disorganized analysis of boundaries and why setting & defending can only go so far. consequences are required for the full benefit.

give up the template tweeting, you sound silly. own your wheeled backpack memories and speak for yourself

i just know when its time to get out the jam. scorpio/sacral chakra tings 🤷🏽‍♀️

the richest person on the planet pays you $16 and you mad cause finally the govt will recognize $15 is the minimum wage needed to live. go awf babe

you dont gotta be ready, you just gotta accept

you got it boss

if you didnt think hard about it pls go away. if you dont want my opinion leave me alone. if you dont care about being intentional get out my face.

leaders accept reality

idk man join the pity party. when im tired i just kinda flop around so i bet the audio will be chaotic

i love it here but also i would like to be excused from thursday

theres a time for that homie, and the best part? you can only really handle one time at a time so boom

sleepy

you not too young for shit. show gratitude for your body by doing what you can for it *voluntarily* today

all of the pieces of you are you and we all need to find the balance between leading a community and letting the community kill itself.

charging people money is so strange, but we move!

theres a reason you naturally gravitate to certain tasks, invest in that.

i am rly not tryna even hear that "i gotta pay for dinner" shit

you cant keep telling yourself you control other people. have u not seen the Dark Knight?

either you lying to me or yourself or both. lets discuss the duality of cardigan backyardigan's tweets.

hate exists, hate can be healthy and "hating a person" is dumb.

check out "the body keeps score" by Bessel van der Kolk if you bad. (side-side-side note: i dont like yawning)

slow down there buckaroo

go beyond yelp reviews and algorithms. ask old couples about their relationships. ask people who have started over what they did. ask people who have good taste what shows they like.

i think folks are too comfortable. get some standards people. you dont get paid money to tweet (just attention)

you may have a concussion AND your L has now become a cyber bullying topic. thats tough buddy.

idk man, hope yall doin ok

a very distracted ramble. warning: my stomach growls at the end of the episode.

i turned 23.

go buy 2 Black Nerds merch right this instant!!!

what if you had a formula, the same way in inception there's a totem, that could anchor you to what you want even when your brain is being sabotage-y

you’ll only know how good you are if you try your best for a considerable amount of time

before you ask if you should take them seriously, make sure you've taken your own orbit into consideration.

you would think an able bodied, highly privileged human would be less inclined to judgement and a lack of gratitude. you dont train yourself to be compassionate by never sacrificing comfort. you dont move towards a socialist/less capitalist society by being selfish with your own money. you dont appreciate your youth by doing everything you will be stuck doing when youre 80. take the stairs with me.

its good news?

listen to the nudges. sincerely, someone who's experienced some brick walls

if u suck and u care, do something about it. it'll be ok

hello!? scientific method people!?

sometimes i just like to double check.

if my goal is to fail less, i need to start somewhere so i can learn more, get wiser, etc..... my job is to create enough movement to receive feedback and then learn from it. lets get to work then.

overwhelm. but make it fashion. idk man, just one of those rambles.

you cant just run away from the ax wielding murderer. you must run towards safety and help.

hows ur cup looking beloved?

this too shall pass. also, we dont deserve smino.

it is my honor and delight to report that my cheeks are indeed aching. love it

are you critiquing megan on the internet because you think she'll see it and it will be helpful? or are you ignorant and annoying? or??

ok boom, so youre aware and accepting... dont stop there!! i am not licensed for any typa mental health or doctorly nothing. im just talking.

yall rly are yalls best friends and that's tight. have an open mind :)

RIP chadwick

i like surprises.

i know, its corny. but hurt ppl hurt people.

cw: i talk about death and i cry. whatever.

cw: gross. moral of the story: its important to live and take action instead of making hard things any harder than they have to be by judging your current situation.

once you start acknowledging and feeling your feelings the next step is to properly examine them and not be bossed around by them or spoil them

what you tweet about matters. at least balance out your bullshit by using your privilege. #EndSARS #EndSARSNow

i do not recommend this one, but moral of the story is details.

"here i brought u this living thing that someone else grew and beheaded and i spent money on them and now i want you to have them while they die."

listen man... at least bring your one black friend

we gotta start somewhere america 🤷🏽‍♀️

this is such a chaotic unclear talk, but i believe in you. find a nugget of wisdom. or whatever

.

thanks for 3k listens kids, thats rly nice of you. you minus whale subscribe

that word is spelled silly. anyways, lets talk about choice and fear

humans r sooooo funny

its not that s3rious, i probably have done some similar thing... but i had time today so lets rant.

to stop putting lol in every message when you know your face is stale as heck in real life.

if u carpool with other haters u still a hater and u still polluting the earf

s/o past me for using the notes app man, thats clutch.

this makes me sick.

halloween gotta be cancelled right?

the word of the day

s/o izzy in south carolina and s/o essential workers dealing with insensitive people

feel them feels, but feelings are not facts! if u get a papercut dont burn a ream of paper, get a bandaid, hydrate and lotion more often. heal ur stuff and regain perspective

where do you go when you dont know where to go?

can u even believe how we all grew out of cells inside a human. go listen to dropout philosophy episode 3 from 2019 for more of me saying the word babies.

unscripted and unorganized reflection on 2 years of being above thee influence

exCUSE the voice 🥴 but just my thoughts on so-called saint nick

a bathtub ramble about human suffering and such

reality is messy and eats other peoples lunch out the fridge (but u didnt hear that from me)

im still going through it so

lean into the anarchy, yes? you might relate to something.

i truly cannot believe this is my life and i am responsible for engaging with it and somehow some way things will keep happening that make no sense and.

idk what i said so figure it out

its messy, but its good. listen up lil seed, its oak tree time baby. lmao... what am i even saying. just listen to the podcast

ur not funny if ur only funny when joking about violence and shit. ❤️ plus i give you scorpionic advice for extendo revenge

RIP chadwick

if you dont have a sturdy foundation of love within yourself, you wont be able to continue to be a human in 2020. its so rough out here so please do what you need to do. work on your relationship with yourself. LISTEN to ur emotions and be kind, notice what theyre telling you. then go heal it. u gone be stuck with ur humanity till the wheels fall off so make it comfy in there.

happy to be myself. but i am currently experiencing sad. haven't even processed the global events i am sorry

this one is chaotic, good luck.

how will people describe you when youre gone?

two bands? two bands???

k

shit do not be funny. r kelly jokes for all these years while no justice was served. harassing megan. breonna taylor MERCH???? its not fun trying to keep a wound from being infected when its continually reopened before it can heal.

screenshots been shared. booties been ate. racial slurs been slung.

yikes! a messy addition to the previous daily shmay

i sung love faces to a spider and am now qualified to talk about boundaries? lets go!

poof. disappeared. evaporated shmay. gone girl. peace out girl scout. missing in action. outta derr.

a very chaotic way to tell a very short story.

the untethered soul has a few fabulous points that are worth grinding past the pretentious vibes. loneliness and other tings

grateful. very grateful.

u know the vibes! once again i am asking you to get on the right side of history before history gets made. once again i am questioning why mfs who probably couldnt build a bear at build-a-bear workshops are giving instructions. mercury must be in leo darling

maybe its just me but i want to have some direct control over what i leave on this earth. imagine if nobody knew i thought about quantum physics bc i never talked to myself bout it on a podcast. if you dont wanna publish your stuff, go stan Black content! preferably non-problematic, non GOP stuff

shake things up

ok brace urself we talking time and entropy and subatomic configurations and radio and death and consciousness. ready go.

shut up, shut the hell up. and pls keep my podcast away from your kids

failed or failure?

s/o Jeff 1 & 2, Keisha & Nate. these folks may not know they've impacted me deeply, but they have!

losing kobe, breonna, george, naya, pop smoke, a man i follow on twitter, delaney

misguided ass fools

consequences of censored schools, yt guilt and intentional ignorance. this didn't go as planned but thats life. excuse quality, decided to go live on DP instagram and record at the same time. go look up shit stop hiding. 

rest in peace george floyd. if you think you get to tell people how to feel youre insane.

not choosing is a choice against the natural way of life.

someone who had the #1 song in the (world?) spends their rich person free time creating a safe space to be worshipped by white supremacists that live in their moms basements. ITS NOT OK. people are DYING. fuck doja.

cancel culture is just the evidence, the crime is stanning. and lets be honest, did we think doja was flaw af and using black culture? fasho, did we think she was a mascot for alt-right online chats???

go be your bossed up, glo'd up, best self... and see what happens. focus on playing your role and being in the right movie. leave the rest of the sandwich to the magic ight?

i got upset at some vinyard vine tweens outside a smoothie king. this is all over the place but most of it needed to be said in my opinion.

a social studies lesson based on my trauma, cmon itll be fun.

its a time where hope and loge and faith might not be common in your headspace or the people around you. heres the recipe for self worth, i didnt include a few things like not hurting other people, tolerance of others, discipline, dealing with co-dependency, leaving old behaviors... because you can start positive without attacking the negative

the NBA, God's sense of humor & your infected offspring.

i challenge you to get in contact with two people you admire at a high level, and to start walking the walk while you're at it.

let me curve you dude 🤦🏽‍♀️ "shooters shoot" but that doesnt mean you arent out here full on brick squad.

you have never been still in your whole life

we might want to steer clear of proclaiming whats right & wrong. we see the evil that large groups of good people allow to occur when using such an egoistic and binary frame of mind.

no shame in creating a setting or experience to trigger a certain emotion, we do it all the time anyways. get intentional and see what you can do to trigger gratitude today.

was it really a steak sis? is it time for tupperware? 

F*** Them Fears Dude Listen to Tyler Riley of NUDE: The Podcast About You chatting with me about how she takes on fear as a content creator, an HSP and as a young black woman in a new city. Let's talk about fear in a new way. Fear doesn’t need to be spiders, snakes and public speaking. There are fears we are given, fears we create and fears we discover along the way.

Part 2 of the Mac N' Cheese Monologue. Let's talk about the impact of offering your mac just anywhere. Before you bring your mac to the market, have you done your consumer research? What are you even looking for when you offer mac n’ cheese in the most general, public settings? Rejection is a part of greatness but the environment makes all the difference. While I have personal beef with being offered mac at the gym, it’s more than that. Certain settings are not shot shooting appropriate and I’ll explain why (through a series of almost unrelated and chaotic examples). Plus a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! We've got our first guest coming up on Ep. 006

This is a rant. I have used the delicious, widely sought after dish "Mac N' Cheese" to represent a wide range of offers, requests and experiences, all based in positive feeling or attraction, but not always wanted. This is Part 1 of a 2 part series. Enjoy! Warning: Rant includes super thicc use of metaphor and (without detail) mentions violence.

Join me as I tell you the truth! I had to bust some myths for myself and you might need to as well. Today, I'll talk about the truth about creativity, the tortured artist, careers (did y'all see how Twitter put Meek Mill in touch with that aspiring producer? Helloooo!), therapy, complaining and why you don't need to be understood. Finally, I'll wrap up with a story, let you know what's coming next and as always, we'll close out with some bloopers.

Episode 002 of Dropout Philosophy is here! We are going to get real intentional with setting intentions. Intentions can help you honor your purpose, guide your growth and get to know yourself. Let’s talk about how to set healthy intentions, why you should and of course, stick around for the bloopers. Enjoy & don’t forget to give me feedback on the episode via email, social media or commenting on officialshmay.com

In the first episode, let's tackle a concept we should have left in 2018. Theres a cause and effect to everything, even if you can't see it. Use coincidence to your advantage and you just might see more bunnies in your life.
