I find a Stronger rope to Hang On

Rebels,

With the great company of my friend and fellow Rebel Artist Rachael, I made my way out to the Windham Arts Collaborative Ctr. in Willimantic this Fri. eveningto enjoy a great poetry performance put on by the "Young Poets" of Windham HighSchool. Led by a truly inspirational teacher, Lynn Frazier, these talented and motivated Windham high school students absolutely inspired me. Not only arethey remarkable writers and performers, but they possess a passion for growingand learning in this world that I will use to get out of bed in the morning...

You see...woe is fucking me but most days I dont get out of bed. I don't go outside much. I have no faith in current humanity.I was given a gift by these young adults this eve. Truly amazing!

They unite like we all should. They stand together as artists and celebrate like we all should. When Eddy and I first came up with this notion of the Rebel Arts Union,part of what we considered is our dissapointment with the perpetuation of the stigma that is the lonely, depressed, fucking cracked and torn artist who lives and dies alone.

You see where Im going with this...I want you all to just do three things as Rebl Artists:

1. Admit out loud to a crowd that "I AM AN ARTIST!"

2. Truly unite with this fucking beautiful organization of Rebel Artists.

3. Produce your most inward and challenging works of art for this group willsupport you and help you get to where you need to be.

Hey guys...Fuck the heat Im getting lately for this crew! I will go down if it helps oneof you to feel even the slightest bit of support and success.

I love you guys,

-T.J. Brady
