jazz for justice + Rohaun + Tallahassee, Mayor marks
This event was great. Met alot of interesting people that entertained me while i entertained them. Had a hour long conversation about Louis Armstrong (funny as hell). I didnt know he was the greatest trumpet player. Anyway Thanks to Mary for the invite, thanks to Dave for the connect, and thanks to Mayor Marks for the donation.
The jazz for justice charity event is a benefit for the Children's Programs at Legal Services of North Florida, a non-profit organization providing no-cost civil legal assistance to the poor. Regional and internationally known jazz and blues performers entertain the guests under the oaks at Tallahassee's premiere French Restaurant.
A donation for auction was a live art piece which was donated by Art Assist. The artist Rohaun created the work as the crowd enjoys the music by famous jazz artist from around the world.
Donation totaled 750 dollars from the painting, towards Jazz for justice initiatives.

The is a past project experimenting with tee shirts. It was really hot at the time. Yeah I sold’em and made some money, but I was really trying to expand what hip hop art was when the whole miskeen thing started. Trying to understand the dynamic behind urban culture and art. How in the hell they get 1000’s of people to buy art. DUH! Put it on a tee shirt…lol…So put that to sleep, its time to step ya game up and go to the next level. Death to painted tee shirts, buy a painting or two, get a commissioned piece. Invest in ya future…

genesis
Where within our modern civilization, will there be born unconditional regaurd for our fellow man, not out of necessity, but out of love? We must observe that when this event takes place...(and yes it will be an "event")
When humans of every race and creed show love towards one another,
Shortly after, the human mind will distort to unimaginable degree of alternate realities and possibly crumble your mental bridge to civilization.
Following will be a paradoxical event comparable the classical period directly followed by the dark ages, or more specifically a de-evolution of society.
It would be assumed that this event would cause mankind’s upside down view of the world to be corrected, but alas, Even with this transformation such a sudden occurrence, will only birth pandemonium.
This process is calculated to happen infinite times, only to be prolonged by human innovation every time
My question is when does it end.
Then i go off to say, what the fuck does it matter. With all the money, fine women and clothing there is to be attained on this earth, why worry about the abstraction of the human mind during a time of terrestrial ascension.
This event may not take place for another 1000 years, or it may happen in the blink of an eye. So thru all of this rhetoric and confusion lets cut the fat, human wants, fame, science, religion, physics, economics, and human growth and development, and lastly but not least sex.
What the hell does any of this have to do with each other, let alone what the fuck does it have to do with me. Well my Friend, it has a lot to do with you, for these are some of the basic things that you wake up every mourning and work a 9-5 for (some of us 10-10). Have you ever wondered why you do such a ludicrous activity every day? till you die?
Adam smith wrote a great quote which says, "I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain." You work so that you, your children and your children’s children can enjoy the arts/entertainment under a free and open society, (whatever that means)
It is a very strange paradigm in which, humans have to fight wars, capture land, build empires and deal with corruption just to be able to come to a period where children are born with the ability to be artist largely due to the fact the nation in which they live in can sustain such a luxury. Here is where a paradox comes into play. Those same artist who are afforded the chance to become famous and wealthy with such a “luxury good” as art, turn to using there art as propaganda to deface there nation due to the depth of corruption festering within. My question is, how is it that the same constructs that afford you pay for your work are the same constructs that you so fervent hate and despise due to their lack of substance.
rich fat oil giants in wealthy nation, will pay a million plus for art work of the day. The very money used to pay for the work, is the same money used to fund terrorism. Artist then turn around and detest the oil giants due to the artist inability to deny the truth about there corruption. (proven throughout history) in which is easily accomplished by peoples of that nation. the irony!
So what is it really, can you play a double agent and have trouble sleeping at night, or will you rage against the machine and starve, or (if you live in a socialist country where there is no such thing as "speaking out against the government, so in term you rather speak out against the current and accepted style of creating) will you reject the style of the time and become a “modern impressionist” and create what you like with the threat of starvation and the false idea of suppose freedom.
Who really know what you will do. The more intelligent person probably chooses life over death, and follows the calls of necessity. What will you do once you can admit the truth to your self?
