Blogs by Tha GOAT

Juneteenth 2021 was a great day. Not for the fact that it is now a federal holiday, but because we as Tha GOAT Nation celebrated having 1,408 citizens on YouTube. It will be a awhile until we reach that here on this platform, but I am ready for the challenge. I was joined by my good friend Lady Capricorn Tarot, a New York based intuitive tarot reader. Together we joined forces of art and tarot reading to create this dope livestream. Shoutouts to the ladies who got their reading (and art) done. Also shoutouts to those who was there in the live chat, and those in the playback.  Contact Lady Capricorn Tarot HERE: https://ladycapricorn-tarot.com/ Enjoy the video!!!

Nearly a decade ago, in late 2011, I met the woman who would become C. Sam Read, children's book author. We met through a mutual friend, he told me about her via Facebook. She wanted me to bring to life her idea for a children's book. This children's book would be the first I would illustrate. We collaborated on the first two books of the Patches series. We began in late 2012. At the time I started working on the series, everything was as it should be....and then, the darkest day ever occured. November 6, 2012. As I type, it has now been 3,146 days since my mom died. After that, it took a good while to get back into wanting to do anything. Thinking back on that period, I honestly can't believe I didn't go off like a nuke. What kept me from doing just that was the fact I wanted to preserve her legacy....losing myself would go against the man she and my dad raised me to be...the man who I am.  When I think of these two books...I think of the fact that I pushed out th...

2020 was a year that tried to take everything from us. The one thing we all want in this life is LOVE....this design was created as a reminder to all that the greatest reason to be loved is because you are YOU. I love you, because you are YOU. Designs are included on accessories as well....pins, stickers and bags. Get yours now....spread them to those you love and most importantly, don't forget yourself.

https://bit.ly/3k4x2gU I have have this Blogger account for a LOOOOOOONG time......here I will showcasing blogs old and new on this site. So that you may get a little insight on me. Who Am I you ask (or didn’t ask, whatever)? I am Slim Jim Longfoot aka Tha GOAT: King of America. I created the pseudonym Slim Jim Longfoot 20 years ago in 2001. It was an ode to the legendary Hip-Hop duo from my hometown (Atlanta, GA). More on the “King of America” origin in another blog. I write my first blog on Blogger 5 years after the birth of my great-niece, who was born 50 years and 1 day after legendary entertainer Janet Jackson. Her mother’s first middle is Janet’s first part of her middle name with a difference in the spelling. I love to write. After art it is my second love. My next love would be making videos. Whether they were audial or visual, it has been a treat to do since I was a kid in the 1980s and 1990s.  With that being said, I believe that answered the title of this blog, “Why I Yo...
