    Well i hit one spot randomly, my first time on a train. I had markers and an old spray can i stole from my shed. Then i just did what i could, and well i liked it and now im hitting planned spots randomly (no pattern)... i think i liked being a step ahead the police to be honest.

    Fuck.. I hate being part of the "Getting Up" generation. I think we'll always be looked down upon becuase of that stupid fucking game. Anway, I kinda just slid into it. I always drew and was always considered "artistic" by friends and family. Then I just moved from pictures to letters. I was just doing my real name then friends and it got to a point where I wanted to do more. I started noticing graff on my trips to Philly and started reading up on it. Decided on a name and never looked back.

    I just saw freights and tags around town. I live by tracks and would always look outside to watch the trains go by. The art on it blew me away. Putting quarters on the tracks was always fun too...

    Met this writer, started dating him. I always liked graff, but he just started taking me around town and showing me everything. Then he started teaching me stuff, and he painted me this canvas that i loved. From then on i've been loving it more and more. Now he's telling me that if i get up anywhere he will cap everything i do. He keeps threatening me and shit....well fuck you. I'm getting up when and where i want. Do you really think you scare me?
