Message to fans
"When people ask me what I wanted to be as a child, I always said i wanted to be a doctor. Finally til this day, I understand what being a doctor means. It doesn't have to be a actually doctor, but someone that is a healer. A mentor and teacher that helps and heals minds and souls. I never even wanted to go to medical school or even get a license of that sort, but a doctor to me simply means "healing the world".
" I am a doctor of all sorts. Without touching hands, my hands touch hearts. Through my Art!"

If I Have Referred You To Your Write, Take The Reference Chart And Be Inferred. Not A Finish To Intelligence So We Gently Lay Down The Interference. Middle Blockade From Illiteracy And Hypocrisy, It Is Hypocritical That We Be The Leaders At Large. Charge Taken To Uphold The World. Simple Conversations Run Marathons Thru My Mind. Meanings Of Complexity Force Dictionary Terms In My Brain. A New Word Falls In Each Drop Of Rain. Unable To Count The Inevitable, Like The Worlds Last Slot Machine. Jackpot For Me. A FreeFall Of Billionaire Baccalaureate Brains.... I Coin The Term. Smiles For Me. But Not All For Me. Whats The Level Of Education Left? Where Were The Last Knowledgeable Footprints Stepped? Did The Leader Denounce The Thrown To Follower In The Game? Someone Stated Yesterday While Conversing With Me, "I CanT Help It, I Am A Product Of My Environment."- Anonymous. I Shook My Head. Concluded Before Walkin Away In Disbelief And Dissatisfaction. "I Will Never Be A Product Of My Environment Because Society Didnt Make Me. My Surroundings Didnt Take Me. These Homicides Dont Shake Me. My Culture And My Heritage, I Partake In Thee. I Am A Product Of My Imagination. My Creative Innovation. My Successful Motivation. I Am Me, Not What The World Claims Me To Be. One Day I'll Teach You H.I.P.S. To Gain That Strength. You're 20 Years Old But Fell Victim To The Stint. Be Lifted. Be Proud. Be Gifted. Scream Loud." -TJW. H.I.P.S... Helping Imaginations Produce Success.
