I think it might be time for the return of the 4 minute sketch.
Ain't done that shit in a while yo.

While talking to a fellow SGer today, a topic was brought up. Something very very near and dear to my black little heart.

Graffiti.
Now, it has been about a week since I have gone out and done anything.. sad really. I used to go out on a nightly basis and put myself on blast. I used to hang out with dangerous boys who could hop a fence almost better than I can. I miss that. I miss the sound of the cans in my bag, I miss the smell, I miss changing out caps with latex gloves on. I miss overspray all up ons my hoodie. I miss it all.

Though, is it "writing" or is it "tagging".
Does it matter?
To me, it does.

See, when i was 11 and had sharpies and mags, I would walk around with the dudes from church and we would hit up any wall we could find. All in the name of Jesus mind you. Anyhow, back then I was a toy, a noob, a 1er. I was lame as hell, but I loved it. I was a stupid tagger. I remember writing "INJAH" on walls and waiting for the mop to drip. I remember running burners on buses. I remember gettin the shit beat out of me when my mom found all my "tools" in my bag. I didn't care, I was addicted. It was a vice, The only one I had. The only one I needed.

I evolved. I stopped doing throws and started doing more elaborate pieces. I changed my name and it was all up from there. 4 letters are enough for any writer. I wasn't just scribbling on walls anymore . I was rocking productions. I was a fuckin writer. I blended colors with WD40 straws, an empty and 2 full cans. I made my own mops with ink, a sponge and deodorant sticks. Meanstreaks replaced chapstick tubes. I had paint under my nails and wore dickie overalls. So cliche for the time, but it was me, it was right. I found my calling.

I think there is a difference between tagging and writing. Any asshole can tag. Anyone can scribble shit with a mag. Not everyone can spray out some nice line styles and sweet fills.

(I just realized almost no one knows what I am talking about)

This is really for one person anyhow.
So. To answer my own question.


YES, there is a difference between tagging and writing.


On to normal stuff.

Jack goes in for bloodwork tomorrow. Oh the joy dude. Oh the joy.
I took some pictures of him the other day, he looks a little different to me since his seizures. I might be psyching myself out though.

Speaking of pictures.
