SUNDAY THROWBACK IMAGE TO 

MAY OF 2014, I WAS ENROUTE TO NEW YORK

FROM MY HOMETOWN NEW JERSEY TRANSIT TRAIN STATION

FROM LINDEN. AFTER GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL,

I WAS ON THIS TRAIN VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY AND NIGHT

BETWEEN MY CLASSES AT THE TRAPHAGEN SCHOOL OF FASHION

AND MY NOTORIOUS CLUBBING, THERE WAS A CLUB CALLED "MK"

AND I CLAIMED IT TO BE MINE, THERE WERE MANY MANY CLUBS

I WAS KNOWN AT, I WOULD BE ON THE DANCE FLOOR WITH

THREE OR FOUR GIRLS AT ONE TIME UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF 

THE MORNING, SOMETIMES HAVING BREAKFAST AT A CLUB,

IN THE WINTER I WOULD HAVE TO BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES,

MY DANCING STYLE WOULD BE SOAKING WET, I WAS LOST IN MUSIC!!!

ONCE AT "AU BAR" I DANCED WITH BOTH BEVERLY JOHNSON 

AND IMAN SIMULTANEOUSLY, AT "NELLS", ME AND JANET JACKSON

WAS AN ITEM ON REGULAR OCCASIONS, I WOULD REUNITE WITH JANET

IN LOS ANGELES, UPON ARRIVING IN BEVERLY HILLS. JANET WOULD 

BECOME A SIGNIFICANT COLLECTOR OF MY FINE ART AFTER BEING

GIFTED AN ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE COMMISSIONED PORTRAIT I CREATED

OF HER FROM RYAN SEACREST. JANET REMARKED THAT MY PORTRAIT 

OF HER WAS ALL REVEALING, GOING "UNDERNEATH HER SKIN".

BACK TO NEW YORK, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO RETURNING 

BUT I WON'T BE BACK UNTIL I FEEL PROFOUNDLY SAFE REGARDING

THE VIRUS AND NO DOUBT, NEW JERSEY HAS MAJOR CONCERNS AS WELL.

IN THE INTERIM, I PRAY THAT GOD KEEPS ALL OF US IN HIS GRACE

AND MERCY AS THESE ARE PERILOUS TIMES THAT WE COULD HAVE

NEVER IMAGINED. STAY BLESSED AND BE SAFE! MUCH LOVE, MIKEL.
