In a compass, we got north, south, east and west, right? But in between that, you got things like north-east – now that, to me, is where real life is. Everybody’s life is not straight: it’s often 30 degrees to your left, or in the hardest part of the reach. BJ the Chicago Kid Read Quote

It’s crazy all the dreams you have about what you want to do, how you want to do it, and when you’re going to do it. As a child, you never know the date or that one person who’s going to take you to the next person, who is going to put you in position and give you that one opportunity.
