You: “School why?”

Grandma: “You did not go to school they called me. You missed three classes at school and you owe paper work and forms for me to sign that you have not handed in. Are you dropping out of school????”

You: “I was late that was why, it happened in Warwick multiple times. I have the paper work but you kinda haven't been home every single day I get home from school”

You (cont): “And no I'm not dropping out”

You (again): “Now I gotta go, I have global right now. I need to makeup work”

You attends class///

Grandma: “They will not keep you in school if you continue not to go. You can always put the paper work in my mailbox for me to sign. No excuses for this You, you need to attend classes in order to graduate and move on with your life. Think about it

You: “I have been attending. It would be nice for me to have it quickly signed and I can take it where I’m staying so I can hand it in immediately, and it’s not excuses. It’s just me giving reasons that you don’t agree with or like”

Good Art Has No Excuses

A saying which states that one artist (a writer, painter, author, musician, etc.) should be allowed to only make art for himself and not for random people he doesn't know, but should keep in mind that it should not excuse him from making poor quality art.
As a writer, I only write for myself and not random strangers who read my novels, but that doesn't excuse me from writing good quality books. Every artist should know that good art has no excuses. Ever.

Excuse

Not an excuse to let them sell it instead of me. WHAT they are selling is HYM. Which, again, makes it more likes slavery than anyone else. Even if I put the phone down today they are still doing the thing they are doing. Seems like we only have a problem with slavery in theory, so long as it isn't happening to us, huh? But in implementation, well..
Hym "That's just an excuse not to pay me. I painted a painting and you looked me dead in the eyes and said 'You're not doing that right' and then TOOK A PHOTO of the of the painting and said 'Hey, you want to buy this photo for a billion dollars?' My work is so good that it's even good second hand."
