Reason Interview: Like Water

[5th Letter]

5th Letter- How did you discover the IC?

Like Water- I used to post on HipHopPoetry, and then I stumbled onto here.

5th Letter- How long have you been on the IC?

Like Water- Since 2010

5th Letter- What are your early memories of the IC?

Like Water- I don't remember too much. Even though I had an account, I didn't do too much posting. Brother Shenco's roast was epic. The EBRC movement in Illpix

5th Letter- What are some of the craziest things you've seen on the IC?

Like Water- Ol' girl Six get put on blast... Gee and his crazy antics; especially within the last 6 months or so. Shit is hilarious. Some of the gifs and memes posters have created are ridiculously funny. I know there's been a lot of craziness on this joint, I just don't be around when it pop off. Lol. I may start frequenting The Donkey more often. I know all the crazy muhfuckas convene in there.

5th Letter- What are some things you'd like to change about the IC?

Like Water- Nothing.

5th Letter- Who are your favorite and least favorite posters?

Like Water- Posters like Sion and Busta stand out. I mean, there are some posters that really keep me laughing or genuinely have some real shit to say. As far as least favorite? Lol. I'ma let them few goof troop niggas breathe. If I've ever had an unpleasant exchange with you, you're prolly not a favorite poster. But it's just the internet. Niggas ain't tryna make friends. I'ma kick what little knowledge I have and hopefully, I'll get some gems in return.

5th Letter- You do stay under the radar is that the way you prefer things?

Like Water- Yep. I lurk quite a bit. My hectic work schedule, social time and family life keep me very busy. I usually go on spurts, and then I'm ghost for a minute. I prefer to play it low-key.

5th Letter- Word association 2 words or less.

Firefighters>>>>>>>>>>>>>>faggot ass cops. I always wanted to be a firefighter, not that volunteer shit tho unless my money and time is right. What's the day to day routine on that job? I know you said paramedic work (another job I would like to do), elaborate on that.

As far as me doing it volunteer wise, it's just to keep me prepared and keep all my certs in order in case I can jump in somewhere full time. I get called in on as needed basis; if someone's sick, vacation, need more manpower, etc. Sometimes I won't get called in all month, and sometimes it's 2-3x a week. My regular job is 3 on, 3 off, 4 on, 4 off, 12 hour shifts. So it's worked out surprisingly well so far.

Just a lot of training and sitting at the fire station if there aren't any calls. Usually a full 24 hour shift and then you're off 3 days. As I said though, where I am now is a small district, and what happened to me above was the first big fire there in years.

As far as the paramedic stuff; I had to do like a year and a half worth of school/training. Nothing crazy. Emt's are just as important as doctors though. What we do often has life/death consequences, so your adrenaline is always high and your focus needs to be on point.

I make more dough as machinist than I would as a full time firefighter or paramedic. It's not about the money though, I like making a difference, despite my cynical and pessimistic outlook on humanity.
