IF: Red

"Red"

Funny How this weeks topic is Red! Because i was just reading about Bono's efforts to contribute AID to Africa though the RED product line that he launced along with a few others. I read how he has many detractors trying to give him a negative image for what he is doing. Based on an article i read, it says that he has made ways to elude taxes from other countries and that he takes a portion of the profit he gathers from world AID. Well quite a lot of bullshit really... I know an artist when I see one and from one to another i can say that he has a pure heart in dealing with these affairs and that even if it is not made public, I know that he willingly provides personal AID out of his own income. So to all of the people who are dissing Bono..... GET A LIFE!

To tell you the truth I didnt really think that i'd would go back to drawing for IF this week of all weeks because I evidently have such a hectic week. Our general band practice for next week is today and number two, I have quite a few things to deal with.

Again i have been having a lot of personal issues (as usual) but, finally I can present it in a -quite literally- visible.

I think it is high time that I step it up in my life. I have to burst the seemingly naive bubbly part of me and be more mature. I am turning 18 in two freaking months man! I think I am attatched to the childish SAM. I am afraid to leave that aspect of me which is a comfort zone.

Thus I am on the way to pop the balloon and let my the air come out diffusing the scent of my soul.
