About Gary Scott aka G TheBeatNik

You may be wondering what the heck is a beatnik. Well let me be clear. I am not a beat maker in any sense of the word. In my mind though I can make Dr.Dre look like a rookie again that’s in my mind. Some years back my old Jewish grandmother/neighbor use to always say "ahhhhh gary you're such a beatnik". I had no clue what she meant but I liked it. After some research I discovered she was right. Kinda. I was not beating on drums and wearing those funny looking hats, but I was unorthodox in my beliefs and bucked the system at any given moment. I lost a lot of jobs because of this as well.
Anyway the part I like about the definition was the unorthodox ways they thought. They went against the system not because it was cool, but because they really believed that it was flawed and full of crap. So with me I feel and have always felt that way about religion. I never thought it made sense for me to take my hat off in church but the lady in front of me could wear a satellite blocking my view of the entire pulpit.
So I coined myself a beatnik and added the G because it sounded cool. 
I was born in Memphis, raised in California and came to the great city of Atlanta in 1993. Atlanta was a gift and a curse for me. Coming from the west coast and moving to the south was a culture shock to say the least to me. I could understand what those people was talking about ex: eleven they would say "lem" I would say what's up homie, they would say "wassup shawty" the whole world was just weird to me. 
As I grew older I started to embrace the thuggish side of the city. After all my mom moved us from a fairy middle class area to the hood so I had to adapt or be the weird kid. I started drinking and hanging with some people of questionable character to say the least. I learned how to sell dope and even had a super awesome pager.
Life in Atlanta was awesome. I even found a church to go to and loved the teen ministry. It was just like high school (which at times wasn’t a good thing). 
Through my adult years I started to drink heavy and eventually became a alcoholic. I kept a job. Never got a DUI and thought it was normal to grab a beer at 7 in the morning, I got married, I got divorced, I was sleeping from couch to couch with my son because I didn’t have a job or a car. Life wasn’t what I planned at all. My kids would see me passed out on the couch on the weekends they came to visit and eventually my son ended up living with my mother because I couldn’t take care of him. My daughter stayed with her mom and I was all alone. Honestly I didn’t mind it. Now I can drink in peace and not feel guilty having a drunk conversation with my 5 year old.
Lets fast forward to who I am now though, This bio can turn into book real quick. 
On April 19th 2015 I decided I needed to go to rehab. At the time my son was 13, my daughter was 9 and on top of that I had a new born whom I was a at home (drunk) dad to. I also was in a relationship with her mother who had two wonderful boys. So change was necessary. After spending 4 months in California I came back to Atlanta a sober man. Yet I still had nothing to do. Being sober wasn’t enough, I sat at home bored out my mind. So I thought, Why not go back to church. And that’s where this whole journey began. I am a different man now, A better father, a better person. I have over a year sobriety and wouldn’t change it for the world. Now if I could make beats like Dr.Dre that would be awesome. Now I am a youth pastor at my church, motivational speaker, Blogger, and co host a radio show on Saturday nights. Life is good for this BeatNik
