I thought this was appropriate for Football National Signing Day.

[Al Pacino]
I’ll fight for you ’til the day I die

[Gipp]
Yeah.. yeah.. yo
Gipp keep it slow poke, hang out the side with no rope
Sit in the tub, flick the remote and soak
Pull up, jump out, and then I strut for em
And if anybody got problems, I’ma cut for em
In this atmosphere now you can disappear smoke thick
Shells bail like tailbacks lookin for hoes
Drag my ass down the air like I care
Scar that ass, leave your shirt open like an arab
Makin money off these breakdown slabs
We got this zone, get your own
Better move on before your folk get split, you won’t forget
The DF put it down, now get down, or sit down

[OutKast]
Sunday mornin, makes me feel
so Godly, pardon me, if I shake your soul..

Blue Lines, Key Yemaya Walker, Mankato, New York, North Carolina, Sculptor, William Artis

Born 2/2/1914 in Washington, North Carolina, William Artis became a prominent Black-American ceramist and sculptor in the mid 20th Century. He lived in New York City and Mankato, Minnesota and focused primarily on functional objects that were ceramics but also sculpted.

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
