309.23.094"IM DIFFERENT. I CANT BASE WHAT IM GOIN BE OFF OF WHAT EVERYBODY ISN'T. THEY DON'T LISTEN, JUST WHISPERIN BEHIND MY BACK, NO VISION, LACK OF AMBITION. SO WACK!" OFF JAY'S BP3....LOVIN THIS ALBUM. ON THE SUBJECT OF MY PROGRESS I HAVE MADE MY NEW SENIOR STUDIO SPACE MY OWN AND I'VE STARTED MY FIRST PAINTING OF THE FALL SEMESTER! THE SUBJECT I WILL BE TACKLING IS RACISM....I PLAN ON MAKING THE SUBJECT INTO A SEMESTER-LONG SERIES [IF NOT YEAR LONG OR MORE]. MY WHOLE LIFE UP UNTIL THE MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE I HAVE BEEN DEFENDING AND FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE AS ONE. MOSTLY THE SENERIO OF ME BEING WHITE AND OTHER WHITE PEOPLE ASSUMING I HAVE THE SAME HATE FOR BLACK PEOPLE. HOWEVER THEY ARE SOME THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE. I WILL NOT GO INTO THAT MUCH MORE ON HERE BUT I WILL BE POSTING AN UPDATED PDF STATEMENT REGARDING THIS NEW SUBJECT MATTER OF MINE.

BUT FOR NOW INDULGE IN SOME IMAGES BELOW. THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO SHARES THE SAME THOUGHT AS I DO AND TO EVERYBODY READING THIS WHO HAS DEFENDED ANY RACE WITH NO HOLDS BAR OUT OF LOVE AND PASSION FOR THE PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU WHO AREN'T THERE TO DEFEND THEIR OWN! AND TO EVERYBODY ELSE WHO REMAINS QUIET...MAN UP! AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE RACIST MINDS. YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH NOTHING. BUT THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!

ENJOY...
