Grease, food, oil, dirt. All messes that give resistance when being cleaned. The Stain however, can NOT be cleaned. It is an indelible mark that is imprinted on the memory. I once stated: “I don’t want to be the next Nas, or another Jay-Z- I’m here to show y’all the first me!” The person in the photo represents an opponent. The stance is one of defense, reminiscent of a hockey goalie. No regular mark will get past this person. Only The Stain stands a chance. A mess capable of this type of upset could teach much by its resilience alone. It’s ALL Academics!
