WRITE OR DIE

@Golgotha: The Back Story

I remember being angry because my workout potna was sent to the Adjustment Center which is the lock up unit for death row. Just out of the blue. Snake was gone and we was just getting started in the basic fundamentals of boxing out on the yard.

I never let anybody know to what degree I was missed off, but since everybody liked Snake, we was all hot that he was gone. Today is May 2013 and snake is still in the hole. Here's the thing. I was about 5 seconds away from ending my boxing training back in 2010 when the young homie Piankhi walked over to me while I was stepping away from the heavy bag and said 'I gotta learn how to do that' (both smiling)

It later became obvious that others wanted to learn boxing as well but Piankhi was like, the come on Let's go type, and because of that quality alone, there was no way I could say no.

One day towards the end of the year after a long training session, shower and lunch, Piankhi began to get at me about the series ideas he had stuffed in his brain, after a while I stopped him in mid-sentence and said 'Kick that shit fool, do it' (both smiling)

As we stood in the middle of the yard, I directed his attention to the vast bodies roaming the many deathrow yards and said 'Count me in, I'm with you, however, you are standing is a place for death and I would not want to be you because now you literally got to reach into hell and choose hell's finest to make your project pop because it's all kind of muthathaz up in here and we don't know who's who around here.
