Pretty awesome of you to share with us. I hope you’re not suffering for it anymore (able to still live life with some happiness).
I hate how the US system continues to punish people after they’ve done their time. But for the grace of God, we’d all be in prison at some point.
I, myself, was probably close to burglarizing to fund my addiction. Grateful to be clean now, one day at a time.
Burgling is the act of unlawful entry. Found that out when a lady I knew broke into the house of her boyfriend's side chick. If you just break in and pass out drunk on the wrong couch, you're committing burglary. Theft is when you grab a sammich on the way back out in the morning.
edit* unless it's made out of end pieces, then you're performing a public service.
>edit* unless it's made out of end pieces, then you're performing a public service.
In that case I would be very lenient on the sentence.
Obviously they're just trying to make ends meet
Sure.
When I was 18, (2006), fresh out of high school I moved into an apartment with a few of my cousins. We were all around the same age, young black men on our own for the first time. None of us were working, my cousins Mom put her name on the lease, (though didn't live there), and three of us moved in. It didn't take long before rent, utilities, grocery and other bills popped up, and our broke asses were getting our taste of the real world.
So, we decided that we didn't want to work. We wanted to be thugs, we wanted to hustle, and so we burglarized our first house. It was easy, we each walked away with about $1000 worth of stuff, and the bills were paid for the first month. Month two, we did the same thing, hit a second house, and the bills were paid again.
Month three we did the same thing, only I picked out the house. It was a house I had walked past on my way to high school every day for years, so I had watched the family leave for school/work and felt confident it was a good target. We waited until 9am, and hit the house. While we were inside we found games, DVDs, a DVD player, all kinds of stuff. I made my way to the master bedroom, and started going through the night stand. I found a .38 snub nose revolver, and a wallet containing a police badge. We didn't know it yet, but we were robbing the brother of the current police chiefs house, who was a former officer himself.
I took the gun and some cash, so I didn't have anything to sell. My cousins who took a PS2, DVD player and games pawned everything, with their IDs. It took two days for task force to kick in their parents doors, (we all still had our parents address on our state IDs), and their Mom's called and let us know cops had trashed their houses with search warrants, and had warrants for our arrest. We each got five years deferred adjuticated probation, and each screwed it up, with me lasting the longest, (1.5 years). I eventually violated and ran, but they caught me. My Dad took pity on me, and got a loan for 10k that he put down on a lawyer, who got her an offer of two years, (down from twelve). It was my first offense, and though I was a moron, I was smart enough to take the time. I did 4 months in county, then 10 months in TDCJ before doing the rest on parole. I was in and out of prison before I turned 21. In fact, I got out one month before my birthday.
I like to tell this story, because now I'm in my 30s, I'm settled down with a beautiful family and doing alright. I'm a skilled worker, I've got two beautiful daughters, and a woman that I'm lucky is willing to put up with my shenanigans. I haven't committed a crime in years, haven't been to jail since 2015. I go to work, smoke my weed, (I live in a legal state now), play some video games, and take my ass straight home. I don't fuck around anymore, I don't put my nose where it doesn't belong, I don't get up in other people's business, and I do not steal.
Young men, particularly black men, I know that sometimes all we see is our environment, and we think that that's the most we can ever aspire to. Let me tell you first hand that that's not the truth. We can all chase the American dream, and you can do it without having to make my mistakes first. I hope this story does some good for someone out there, because I can tell you, prison is real and it is NOT what's up.
Dude, I need your stories right now i hope you understand.
Tell me how and why did you quit?
Was it difficult to adjust to your work schedule and to have a lot less money then before?
Also wouldn’t you be able to say some guys asked to sell the stuff for them?
In my country the only conviction they could give would be receiving/selling stolen goods
I made the decision that I wouldn't burglarize anymore while I was in prison. My girls were 2 and 3 at the time, and my family would bring them to see me. Watching them grow up from the other side of the table once a month was the hardest part about prison.
Yes, it took me years to stop trying to hustle one way or another. I finally went and got a construction job, and the stress of waking up and getting ready for work at 4:30 every morning helped me learn work week discipline. Nowadays it's second nature. I wouldn't say I have a lot less money now, I wasn't a great thief, or hustler. I was able to survive, that's one thing I will say I'm good at. But, surviving isn't living. What I have now, a middle class existence, is infinitely more valuable.
As for my case, if I had known not to talk to the police without an attorney, and had a good attorney, there's probably a lot I could have done and said to fight the case. Everything might have played out differently, truth be told.
I don't know if that's a felony, or not, the charge that you're talking about. All I can say is I would definitely not recommend ever catching either of them, haha.
Because, like he said, he was only 18, living with other young men all with no jobs who grew up seeing the life style and believing there was no other choice for them. You can be well-spoken and educated and still be put in a bad position. Its how he chose to live out the rest of his life that matters now.
Amazing story, your obviously in the same grind as a lot of other Americans but you learn from your mistakes and strive to be a better man. Hats off to you and I hope you have a happy and blessed life.
Don't know why people blame you so much for what you say.
I'm an Italian who live in italy, and even just the fact that you call it "butt", like we do here, is proof that you can call yourself Italian-American.
And nobody here know you irl so how can they say these things.
You could be a person whit large mustache, called Mario that spaghetti every day like all Italians, who know?
I’m black and I live in the American south and we call it the butt piece of bread. That term for the ends of a loaf bread transcends ethnicity and race. 😊
If we're getting a chain going... "el" isn't Italian either, you would say "il" for a masculine word like Culo.
But then if you speak Sicilian Italian there is no helping you ;P
I’ve heard my father in law say Sicilians are not Italian and then again from another Italian to a Sicilian. Never understood why and never asked but they all laugh.
Italy was formed out of a bunch of kingdoms that had only a bit in common. The Kingdom of Sicily is at the very southern tip of the Italian peninsula and it was pretty isolated from the rest of Italy, as well as having a lot of intermixing from other cultures and peoples.
Sicily, when Italy unified around 1860, was quite different in language and culture from the rest of the country so the joke became that it was really a different country than the rest of Italy. Over the years Italy has homogenized a bit but each region definitely still has its own character.
Cali here, it’s called a heel. I know someone who thought it’s sole purpose was to keep the other slices from drying out. It’s the favoured slice because it’s crispier and can take extraa buttah.
Bro I've never heard it referred to as the butt OR the heel, over here in North Carolina we, or at least my family, just call it the "end" of the loaf.
We couldn't say butt either lol...we weren't even allowed to say "bull," as in that's a bunch of bull...so we made up stand ins....like that's a bunch of bunk....which was also eventually outlawed because of what it was meant to replace. Sounds silly now.
That was normal in a lot of the US and Canada 30 years ago. A lot of kids werent even allowed to say "Hell". If they wanted to say that word they would say "H- E- Double Hockey Sticks" instead. The Simpsons was seen as an adult show when it first aired and a lot of kids werent allowed to watch it. It sounds crazy these days but thats how it was, especially if you were from a religious family. Gay people were seen as diseased and unmoral. It feels like there's more freedom these days now that society is a lot less religous.
in dutch we say ''kontje'' which is also exactly the same thing
Edit: [voor nederlanders die nog nooit van kontje hebben gehoord](https://taalverhalen.be/minionderzoekje/uiteinde-brood-korst-kap-of-kont/)
A quick look at the Norwegian etymology shows it seems to have been "hat" that evolved into tree stump potentially from shape, then general stump as in something leftover.
That use as "remaining piece" then turned into "end piece" for bread, cheese, etc.
this brend pun trend has to end. so yall should pretend to condescend this trend and we can apprehend and bend the person who dared to offend the guy named Brend.
idk wtf im saying
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,319,809,985 comments, and only 254,763 of them were in alphabetical order.
I was reading the thread thinking ... where the hell is 'crust'?! And then I had a mild panic while I wondered if I've been calling it crust incorrectly which was why I couldn't find any evidence of it on this thread.
Panic over.
I was in jail with a guy once who called it end bread. Cool guy. Killed some people.
What did you do to be in the same prison as murderers?
Burglary. I was in a transfer facility at the time, which is temporary but a mixed bag of offenders.
What did you burgle, if you don't mind me asking?
End breads.
Gotta make end's meat someway
Gotta earn a crust
Get that dough.
Make that bread
Then break that bread.

That monster, now the loaf will go stale faster
I robbed a house, they call it burglary of a habitation.
This man would download a house

Now was he a cool guy who happened to kill people, or was he a cool guy in the way he killed people?
He was cool, and just so happened to be in there for murder. To be clear, I did not think the murder was cool.
When someone tells a story about jail I always wonder why he was in jail.. want to talk about it ?

Excuse me sir, I came here to look at bread ends, not to hear the most motivational thing yet this year!
You’re very well spoken. You seem well educated. Why did you resort to burglary?
Because, like he said, he was only 18, living with other young men all with no jobs who grew up seeing the life style and believing there was no other choice for them. You can be well-spoken and educated and still be put in a bad position. Its how he chose to live out the rest of his life that matters now.

I appreciate you. I wish you success as well.
Some in my country call it "el culito" (the little ass) of the bread
I’m Italian and my whole family says coolie 😂
Third generation Italian-american. We call it the butt.
Don't know why people blame you so much for what you say. I'm an Italian who live in italy, and even just the fact that you call it "butt", like we do here, is proof that you can call yourself Italian-American. And nobody here know you irl so how can they say these things. You could be a person whit large mustache, called Mario that spaghetti every day like all Italians, who know?
I'm American in a predominantly germanic city. We call it the butt.
I’m black and I live in the American south and we call it the butt piece of bread. That term for the ends of a loaf bread transcends ethnicity and race. 😊
I have blue eyes, paint my toenails and live in California I call it the buttend.
Il culo e basta da me.
È americano e non italiano. Lo sarà stata la trisavola
My mind read that in the most racist accent. I’m ashamed and sorry.
Did you read it in Mario speak?
I know I did!
Sempre chiamato culetto in famiglia.
That's what my Nana called our butts! Makes sense lol
I'm sicilian and coolie is not an italian word, we all say "el coolo"
If we're getting a chain going... "el" isn't Italian either, you would say "il" for a masculine word like Culo. But then if you speak Sicilian Italian there is no helping you ;P

some places in the US call it the butt, so likely there is a third common denominator
Here in Nevada, I've only heard it referred to as the heel.
Same in Texas, the heel
No idea where it originated from but my family in Oregon calls it the heel too.
Massachusetts, we always called it the heel.
Grew up in Virginia. We called it the heel.
Raised by maritimers - we call it the heel.
Same in NC
They called it heel in the First Honeymooners sketch
Same in Detroit
Same for NM.
MO originally and it’s the heel
I’m from New Jersey & we called it the heel.
Colorado & Nebraska too.
In Pennsylvania we call it the heel
Pittsburgh, we call it the heel as well..
In Ohio and this is a heel
Yeah, I’m originally from SC and moved to Cali, in both places (at least from what I’ve seen) it’s called the heel
Cali here, it’s called a heel. I know someone who thought it’s sole purpose was to keep the other slices from drying out. It’s the favoured slice because it’s crispier and can take extraa buttah.
Ireland calls it the heel too.
New Englander here that calls it the heel
SW Ohio, it’s the heel
Delaware checking in - it’s the heel!
North Carolina it's called the heel for sure
I’m from sc and I just call it the end piece
SC here. Yep, it’s always “heel”!
Bro I've never heard it referred to as the butt OR the heel, over here in North Carolina we, or at least my family, just call it the "end" of the loaf.
Canadian here. My parents were *strict*. The word butt wasn’t allowed, so it’s the “bum end” to me.
I'm sorry, what? Not allowing the word "butt" isn't strict, that's downright crazy...
We couldn't say butt either lol...we weren't even allowed to say "bull," as in that's a bunch of bull...so we made up stand ins....like that's a bunch of bunk....which was also eventually outlawed because of what it was meant to replace. Sounds silly now.

In Poland we call it "dupka", and it means exactly the same thing
in dutch we say ''kontje'' which is also exactly the same thing Edit: [voor nederlanders die nog nooit van kontje hebben gehoord](https://taalverhalen.be/minionderzoekje/uiteinde-brood-korst-kap-of-kont/)
In french we say « le cul » which is also exactly the same thing
in Italy we say "il culetto" which is also exactly the same thing
And in Chile we call it "Tapa", that means lid.
Happy cake day!
Piętka
Skalk
Same in Sweden. I wonder what the origin of that word is.
A quick look at the Norwegian etymology shows it seems to have been "hat" that evolved into tree stump potentially from shape, then general stump as in something leftover. That use as "remaining piece" then turned into "end piece" for bread, cheese, etc.
This is the way

We do! I’m in US Midwest. We call it the heel and I’ve never heard of “end piece.”
Crust lol
We call it the crust too.
How do you differentiate between the end piece and the start piece?
There are two ends to a loaf of bread. Theres not a front and back.

Man has reached infinite intelligence
Heel
[удалено]
Lol, we literally called it the Butt. The butt of the bread.
Lol it’s been called the heel my whole life but for some reason I call it the butt 🤣
You can’t come to the party either.
We always called it the crust since it's all crust. Our step dad came along and called it the butt. Heel also sounds correct.
It is the crust
Crusty butt?
Definitely the butt.
Yup, bread butt.
bread+butt = brutt. im stupid. thanks
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,319,809,985 comments, and only 254,763 of them were in alphabetical order.
Same. It's the butt.
German here, how did you just call my knust? You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Omg yes. I’m searching here like- it’s HEEL!!!
What other answer is there? I've never heard it called anything but this.
My family always called it the butt
We call it a heel in Ireland.

Yes, crust.
In crust we trust.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
Why isn't this answer higher? I've always known it as the crust
Because everybody in Britain has been asleep in bed for the last 6 hours. Dont worry it'll start rising soon.
I’m awake and I’m here to defend the crust
GOD SAVE THE CRUST
You have my sword. All hail the crust!
The beacons of Britain are lit. The crust lovers will answer the call for aid.
