Résumé :
This is a two-part book about the ups and downs in life and how you can be blinded by the ups in the midst of all the fun that comes with it as a youngster. Choosing a path in life with absolutely no direction or idea as to where you are headed or what the future holds. It's the autobiography of a young man from the ghetto who made decisions in his life, in which, at the time of growing up felt like all the right decisions and the right things to do according to the lifestyle he had chosen for himself. A young man raised with morals and values that got disregarded when he took the path of dealing with females and the street life. Knowing right from wrong, but choosing to replace right with wrong and viewing all things that were wrong to be right. Setting his own rules outside of society and the way things were viewed by the average working American. He dedicated himself to the streets and strictly lived by the code of the streets. Never thinking twice about the consequences of getting caught up in his actions. Even after dealing with repercussions of making some bad decisions. Overwhelmed by the perks and pleasures of the street life and the excitement and adrenaline rush of outwitting law enforcement. He chose to do what he wanted to do, whenever and however he wanted to do it. Never taking into consideration how others may be affected by the actions taken by him until later on in his life when he experiences a near death situation, which moves him to change his life and lifestyle for the better. It's the good, the bad, and the ugly side of life. Some love it and some hate it, but it's all respected in the moment at the time of living your life. It's a lifestyle looked down upon by society and considered a form of survival and respected by street playas out to make the ends meet the best way they can or know how. A young man walking through life not knowing what his true purpose of living was and didn't realize it until years later when his life is almost taken away from him. Something to be revealed in the second part of this two-part autobiography titled Don Silk The MACKnificent Playa: I Died and Came Back.
