What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart.
That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion.
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.

Who? Van Gogh? No - Me.
Have I read through this quote to analyze it? NO.! Not even once.
But I'm sure it summarizes my contributions to the artistic and financial communitie(s)((+y-s)?
Anyway the grown man vacation continues. Hit up D.C. today. Saw the sights. My main man took the day off and drove me and him to see what America is really about. I will write a summary of my experiences later. But more importantly I'm back in the hood. Lots of people going on vacation to B-More to see the sights. But I digress, read the quote, its me.
