Just got finished with my Art History exam. Things went well, I got one or two wrong - but thats about it. The best part is that the FIRST first question I didn't know the answer too, so that pisses me off mildly - besides that, everything was on point and I did as well as I can hope to have done. The more and more I study Art History, the more I find myself interested in it -- I could even see myself possibly teaching Art History at some point in my life. If it wasn't for my body Art Gallery, I might be able to do such a thing -- but unfortunately, society still frowns upon those that have a need to rock different colors of ink in their flesh instead of being like every other joe blow on the set.
As far as tattoos go, They are my most valued and loved possessions, and I have put more hours into it than I can even remember. Now that I mention it; I've got an appointment on the 22nd to get some more work done on my left sleeve -- which is dedicated to my own personal art work. I think the best way to define it is a basic cross between A Nightmare Before Christmas, and my hood - WNY 201. Very dark and urban - Which reflects my upbringing & general outlook in life. Some people can go through life ignoring the fact that for every shine of light their is an equal amount of shadow. I prefer to embrace it and illustrate the underbelly of the beast -- Which explains why most of my art is geared toward suicidal thoughts. I'm not the suicidal type (anymore), so don't worry -- I put down what I'm feelin' at the time -- and if you don't like it then fine.
Going back to Jersey for Christmas/New Years -- And it is definately going to be off the hook. I miss my hood more than I can portray in words. The most dangerous things about the hood is what I miss the most -- Things like police sirens & real niggas grinding on those corners out there. They exist, and I salute them -- Most people forget that the reason people may do things that aren't %100 legal, but on the other side of the coin, if you are in the situation of having to support someone, wrong or right -- stomach's get hungry, and a dollar is a dollar, whether its clean or not.
As far as music goes,I've been listening to most of the mixtapes I copped last time I was back in the hood -- and when I go back, I plan on on the re-up.
Life has been going fairly well for me, I tend to usually go through everyday not really giving a shit what happens -- but since I've been keeping in better touch with my family, and the support of my girl & her fam is much appreciated. I know things in her life aren't going as well as they could; The only thing that she can really rely on is that no matter what, I'm in her corner.
