Will de Blasio and Cuomo Make Sustainability a Higher Priority?
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has allowed the Mayor's Office of Long Term Planning and Sustainability to lose nearly all of its talented staff, while New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is using capital funds meant to finance environmental facilities to help pay for the Tappan Zee Bridge. These two progressive elected officials talk the talk of environment and sustainability, but environmentalists are unsure if they walk the walk. New York's mayor is finally recruiting a new director for his sustainability office and Cuomo has a good overall record on environmental issues, but neither seems to have integrated environmental protection and sustainability management into their broader and higher priority economic development goals. Both of these elected officials see the environment as a secondary policy arena, and have failed to make the same leap that Mike Bloomberg did when he developed and became identified with PlaNYC 2030: New York City's path-breaking sustainability plan.
I confess that I like and support both de Blasio and Cuomo. Neither is perfect, but who is? Nevertheless, I do not think that they see the deep connection of environmental quality and a renewable economy to sustainable economic growth. After Hurricane Sandy, Governor Cuomo briefly connected the storm to climate change, but in the end seemed more interested in scoring political points at photo ops and by announcing grants to distribute federally financed Sandy relief funds. Mayor de Blasio has made excellent appointments to head his Departments of Environmental Protection, Sanitation, Parks and Transportation. There is little question that he considers environmental protection an item on his progressive agenda, but it is not a central agenda item; pre-K, housing, inequality, and social justice are the issues that capture the mayor's imagination.
As Joanna Foster wrote in Climate Progress in late May:
Environmental issues never topped de Blasio's talking points during his campaign for mayor. There were 19 topics listed on de Blasio's issues section on his campaign website and climate resiliency came in dead last, with sustainability faring just slightly better at number 11. And nearly five months in, his administration has kept quiet on how the mayor intends to move forward, assuming he will, on Michael Bloomberg's ambitious long-range plans for creating a more sustainable and climate-resilient city.
In July, the New York League of Conservation Voters President Marica Bystryn observed that, "...six months into his first term, the mayor has yet to give a major policy address on his environmental vision." To be fair, at a similar point in his first term, Mayor Bloomberg was cutting costs by dismantling the city's fragile recycling effort. Mayor Bloomberg eventually learned the centrality of sustainability to urban economic development; perhaps the still new mayor will as well. Bloomberg came to understand that the million additional people New York would gain by 2030 could make the city a polluted, unpleasant, unsustainable mess. He understood that we are in a global competition with other world cities for people, business, tourists, and, ultimately, dynamism and brainpower. If visitors to the city saw smog, energy shortages, interrupted water supplies, terrible mass transit and gridlock, they would think twice about moving their families or businesses to New York. That understanding led to the integration of economic development and environmental protection goals in PlaNYC 2030. It stimulated Mike Bloomberg's growing understanding of the importance of climate change and the development of a renewable economy. We do not trade off economic growth and environmental protection. A clean and productive ecosphere is a major source of economic wealth.
As for our governor, he remains an enigma. Does he want to close Indian Point as his father closed the Shoreham nuclear power plant on Long Island? Is he in favor of fracking? Is he against it? Will he ever relent and sit down for an interview on NY1 (New York City's local all news station) and tell us what he thinks? He has done some important work in stimulating economic development in upstate New York and has worked hard to keep the state government open and functional, but he governs in isolation and behind the scenes. He may be capable of the soaring rhetoric of Barack Obama or Mario Cuomo, but it's not clear he'll ever let us know.
Still, I like these guys because they are smart, talented, savvy and progressive elected officials who govern from principle, but understand that politics requires accommodating diverse interests and values. I just want them to integrate sustainability more fully into their set of political, policy and governing principles. I suspect that they still see the environmental issue as one dominated by groups like NRDC, EDF and the Sierra Club. Probably, they've also taken note of environmental justice groups such as WEACT and Sustainable South Bronx. Traditional environmentalism is valuable and is rooted in a love of nature -- sustainability is something else. Nature is not valued for its own sake, but for our own sake. Sustainability encompasses environmentalism, but involves other values as well.
I have been involved in environmental policy since 1975 when I took my first graduate course in environmental politics. EPA was only five years old back then. I first went to work for EPA in 1977. What has changed in the ensuing four decades is that the costs of water, energy, waste management and environmental impacts have moved from the edge of corporate balance sheets to their center. On the negative side: Ask BP and GE what it feels like to spend billions of dollars on environmental remediation. BP had to pay for damaging the Gulf of Mexico and GE had to pay for cleaning up the Hudson River. On the positive side: Ask WalMart how much money they save by requiring their suppliers to adhere to sustainability principles. Sustainability and a renewable resource based economy are central corporate goals pursued by companies ranging from WalMart to Pepsi, from Nike to Starbucks. New York real estate developers know that sustainability sells. People want to live and work in "green buildings." What probably started as green-washing in many companies has taken hold as a key business strategy in the world's best-managed companies.
The inability of Mayor de Blasio or Governor Cuomo to visibly integrate sustainability into their broader economic development goals indicates that environment remains separate and secondary. It is not that these two leaders have bad environmental records. It is that they are still stuck in the 20th-century paradigm that sees a tradeoff between environmental quality and economic growth. These leaders may understand the interconnection between environment and economic growth, but their actions indicate that they haven't internalized this understanding enough to translate it into action.
The visibility of some environmental activists who oppose all economic development has obscured the record of environmental interest groups who have worked with industry and government to promote sustainable economic development. Environmental justice groups in New York City have worked with the government and real estate developers on housing projects. EDF is working to understand the science of fracking. The average person understands that clean air, clean water, and healthy food are not luxuries but necessities. To the average person, economic development that damages the environment is unacceptable.
The sustainability perspective integrates economic growth, environmental protection and public health. I am confident that New York City's mayor and New York State's governor understand this. However, I see little evidence that they have integrated this way of thinking into their approach to politics, policy and governance. I may not be looking hard enough, but if they get it, why are they keeping it such a secret?

Nancy Anderson says:
Steve, there's an important omission from your tally of the Governor's environmental scorecard -- he's made bold and progressive appointments to lead the Public Service Commission, NYSERDA and the NY Green Bank. Singlly and together, these appointments signal a climate friendly set of state policies when it comes to renewable energy, distributed energy, demand side management & energy efficiency. Let's see where NY's Reforming the Energy Vision takes us before doing a final tally.
While I admit to surprise at seeing this kind of activity coming from a Governor I would not have picked as an environmental leader, it is happening.
Rogier van Vlissingen says:
The lack of clear direction is unfortunate.
However, while Bloomberg does deserve credit for PlaNYC2030, and related initiatives, it go climate change on the agenda, but the execurtion left a lot to be desired. The same goes for Cuomo. He figured out that NYSERDA was not getting renewable energy done, and created the Green Bank, which is however continuing in the same policy failures as NYSERDA, so change is hard to come by. In both cases the biggest confusion is to allow the continued conflation of energy efficiency with sustainability. ANY energy system should be designed efficiently, but only renewable energy can meaningfully reduced GHG remissions, and/or increase resilience. Therefore energy efficiency is not an end in itself, and as it is practiced today, it adds up to making fossil fuel cheaper, and thus indefinitely postponing the switch to renewable energy.
The confusion of energy efficiency with renewable energy explains 40 years of policy failures, so if Cuomo and deBlasio don't figure it out, perhaps the next generation will. The mindless pursuit of energy efficiency without qualification is moving us backwards, not forwards. The NYC clean heat program with its massive switch from oil to gas is a case in point. Environmentally it was a lateral move at best, and financially it amounted to capital destruction on an unprecedented scale.

Preparing for Your Georgia Hunting Land Lease
If you've located a Georgia hunting land lease for your hunt club, congratulations! You're on your way to many great hunting seasons with your buddies, so long as you prepare well. Here are some things to keep in mind when setting up your Georgia hunting land lease.
Get it in writing – Be certain that you have a written lease from the land owner. Their word is not enough to ensure that the terms you've agreed upon will be honored. Take the time to put together a detailed lease for both of you to sign. It's worth paying an attorney to help you ensure that all the details are spelled out and that your document is legal.
Make the lease for several years – It's likely that you'll be doing some work on your lease property to make it best for hunting. You may clear some small areas to attract deer or to provide for hunting. It's a shame to go to such work only to have your lease run out after one year and your landowner be unwilling to renew. You should make your Georgia hunting land lease for a minimum of three years; five is better.
Spell out your hunting club requirements – It's imperative that you know that your hunting club members are serious. You need their fees in order to pay for the lease. Have written agreements with each member specifying the amount they will pay per year and when the money is due. Have remedies in place in the event of default. Many hunting clubs lock each member into a contract for the duration of the hunting land lease with the landowner. If a member wishes to leave the club before the lease period is up, he must find a member to replace him.
Investigate previous hunting on your Georgia hunting land lease- Be certain you're not leasing land that has already been over hunted. If a hunting club has previously used the land you're leasing, find out the catch rates for the last several years.
Spell out your privileges and responsibilities – As mentioned earlier, you may want to make some improvements on the property. You may want to store supplies there and you may want to use the land for activities other than hunting – like camping or four wheeling. Make sure these privileges are spelled out in your Georgia hunting land lease agreement with the land owner. In addition, make sure that any expectations that your land owner has of your club, such as that tree stands are removed at the end of hunting season, be spelled out, too.

OP-ED: Semi-nomadic Himba march in protest against dam and attempted bribery of their chief
Now, the Himba are speaking out against two Namibian businessmen--along with the Namibia government and the Chinese company registered to build the hydro dam--over several bribery attempts that subsequently led to the downfall of former Ovahimba (Himba) Chief Hikuminae Kapika.
Namibia considers Himba Chief Kapika to be the main obstacle to the construction of the Baynes hydro dam, a project they desperately want to get off the ground.
It started sometime in November of last year, when information reached EARTH PEOPLES that two Namibian men, Mervin Hengari and Justice Tjirimuje, were heavily targeting Chief Hikuminae Kapika (Epupa region) to win his support for the construction of the dam along the Kunene River.
Hengari and Tjirimuje are both currently scheduled to go on trial to face charges of corruption in connection to the unrelated Neckartal Dam tender, so it was more than worrisome to learn that these individuals made it their personal mission to bring Chief Kapika on board the Baynes project. Observer24 Journalist Diana Ndimbra takes a look at the effort in her February 2014 article, Graft suspects flirt with chief.
After visiting Kapika on several occasions, the two sinister characters eventually returned to the homestead of Kapika, with a Namibian government delegation and representatives from the Chinese construction company. During that meeting, Chief Kapika reportedly agreed to a proposal that members of the Himba community would travel overseas along with himself "to learn about and to see dams".
To the dismay of the larger Himba community--who didn't learn about the trip until after everyone had left--only two Himba from the area that would be directly affected by the dam were selected to go on the supposed tour. The group returned to Namibia in October and stayed nearly three months at a farm owned by one of the two businessmen.
Upon their return, the Himba people held several regional meetings so Chief Kapika and those he traveled with could explain what happened. Chief Kapika never showed up at the meeting.
When rumors spread that Kapika had signed an agreement to build the dam on behalf of the Himba Peoples, his community decided to leave nothing to chance. They denounced Kapika as their voice and traditional chief, feeling that he could not sign a document that did not reflect their position.
Members of the group who traveled with Chief Kapika later informed the community of the two businessmen's plans. They wanted to make Kapika a gazetted chief. The businessmen also promised to pay each member of the group N$700,000 providing they could convince Kapika to support the dam, a deal that government authorities confirmed in meetings.
What's more, after Kapika returned to Himba territory, his homestead was suddenly protected by a permanent police contingent. His own people were not even allowed to speak to Kapika without a police officer standing beside him.
Kapika's home was vacated by the police some days ago, after community anger began to unravel.
At a protest in Epupa earlier today, the Himba people reaffirmed their objection to the construction of the dam, and repeated their demand for human rights including their right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC).
They were joined in protest by Himba from the other side of the border, from Angola.
The governments of both countries don't want to listen to their Indigenous Peoples, the original inhabitants of the very territory where both states want to build the dam.
"Nothing has changed, we strongly oppose the dam and will continue to fight its construction, no bribes and no targeting of our leaders will change that," the Himba said.
In the past, the Himba offered a valuable suggestion to both states: Instead of blocking the Kunene River to generate power, they could use solar energy. That way, everybody wins.
Himba Protest Declaration/Letter:
Himba Protest Letter 26 March 2014, explaining that they continue to object to dam construction and their objection to bribery attempts by the government of Namibia with the goal to get Himba Chief Kapika to sign a consent document to the dam.
Himba Information Statement
Himba Statement 30 March 2014, explaining that they want the Namibian government to adhere to Human Rights laws, that they want the outside world to be informed of what is happening to them and that former headman Hikuminue Kapika was replaced to the newly appointed chief Mutambanda Kapika (fo Epupa/Omavanda region)

Khronos Releases OpenGL ES 3.1
Published on 18 March 2014 12:34 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
11 Comments
The Khronos Group has kicked off
this week's Game Developers Conference
by unveiling the OpenGL ES 3.1 specification for advancing the mobile-oriented 3D graphics API.
The OpenGL ES 3.1 specification adds support for compute shaders, now supports separate shader objects, supports indirect draw commands, adds in enhanced texturing functionality, improves the GLSL shading language, and has new optional extensions.
These new features to OpenGL ES 3.1 are mostly derived from existing features of the desktop OpenGL 4.x specifications, such as the compute shaders support. AMD and NVIDIA will likely be shipping proprietary driver updates soon for their Linux binary blobs to support GLES 3.1. When it comes to the open-source Mesa/Gallium3D drivers, while Intel was quick to reach OpenGL ES 3.0 compatibility, it will likely take a while for OpenGL ES 3.1 support to be officially reached. The open-source drivers still have a lot of work done for reaching OpenGL 4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4 support and thus blocking some OpenGL ES 3.1 functionality.
More details on the OpenGL ES 3.1 specification release can be found at
. The Khronos Group is expected to have some extra announcements this week during GDC concerning their other industry standard APIs.

Microcontrollers Enable High-Resolution Measurement for Highly-Functional Smart Meters
(Power Electronics Technology Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the RX21A Group of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) for smart meters with advanced functionality. The new MCUs are the first in the industry to combine large flash memory capacity of 512 KB and a 24-bit delta-sigma (?-?) A/D converter for high-resolution measurement.
The RX21A Group of MCUs implements in a single chip functions that previously required separate devices, such as power measurement, meter control, calculation of electricity charges, and data encryption. This reduces the number of external components required and helps to lower the overall cost. In addition, the RX21A Group includes product versions for a variety of meter models, allowing common and effective system design.
Recently, the smart meter market has expanded rapidly with the spread of smart grids as a way to increase energy efficiency. It is estimated that more than 100 million smart meters will be in operation by 2014. The proliferation of smart meters has created demand for MCUs that provide, in addition to reduced power consumption, higher performance to support advanced functions such as complex power calculation, needed for time-of-day rate systems and other diverse power services in many countries, and strong security, including communication data protection and unauthorized access prevention, in addition to reduced power consumption. There is also a greater need for shorter development cycles and improved development efficiency for new meter models, which spurs the need for an extensive lineup of MCUs supporting a wide range of smart meter models. At the same time, the home energy management system (HEMS) market is growing rapidly, driving the trend toward MCUs with enhanced functionality and larger memory capacity.
Key features of the new RX21A Group of MCUs: On-chip peripheral functions for meters, such as 24-bit Delta-sigma A/D converter and encryption engineHigh-performance CPU and large memory capacity to support advanced-functionality smart metersRX CPU and low-power peripheral functions for the system's overall reduced power consumptionNine product versions to support wide range of power meters, such as single-phase and poly-phase modelsSamples of Renesas' RX21A Group of MCUs are available now, priced at US$5.07 per unit when ordered 10,000 units. Mass production is scheduled to begin in December 2012 and is expected to reach a combined volume of 500,000 units per month. (Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice).

Perdaman seeks A$3.5 bln in damages from ICICI in coal case
REUTERS - Australia's Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers sought to widen its legal battle against Lanco Infratech over a stalled coal-to-urea project by launching a A$3.5 billion damage claim against ICICI Bank, the lender to Lanco's Griffin Coal unit.
Perdaman filed its application in federal court in Perth, Australia, on January 2, the company said in an email on Thursday.
Lanco called Perdaman's move a "desperate attempt" and said ICICI Bank had no contractual relationship with the Australian company. It said the case has not yet been admitted by the court.
Perdaman filed a lawsuit against Lanco in 2011 in the Supreme Court of Western Australia seeking compensation of A$3.5 billion for breach of a coal supply agreement. Lanco termed Perdaman's claims baseless and said in its statement on Thursday that it expected the case to be decided in its favour shortly.
Shares of ICICI, India's No.2 lender, fell as much as 1.63 percent in early trade in a flat Mumbai market. They pared losses to trade down 0.8 percent, at 1,171 rupees at 8:13 GMT.
A Bank of America-Merrill Lynch analyst said in a note to clients he did not expect the lawsuit to have "any material impact" on ICICI shares.
ICICI officials declined to comment.
Lanco Infratech acquired Griffin Coal Mining Co in 2011.

brand makeovers
Posted by Reneé Alexander on March 11, 2013 02:07 PM
Canada's oldest retailer launched a major rebranding effort the same week that Target christened its first stores north of the 49th parallel. Coincidence? Maybe, but probably not.
The Bay, which has its roots in Canada's fur trade, will now be known as Hudson's Bay. It won't be that much of a stretch for consumers, considering the new name is a nod to its parent company, Hudson's Bay Co., but it will mean its unique stylized-ribbon "B" in The Bay will be retired.
A return to the iconic retailer's classic full name with a word mark—which will be used on all marketing and media materials, as well as online and on in-store displays—is its first major logo rebrand since 1965.Continue reading...

Best Buy Canada will lay off 900 employees and close 15 of its stores including eight Future Shop locations, while Sears Canada will lay off 700 of its workers as both retailers brace for the arrival of Target next month and the expansion of Walmart there. Nordstrom is also launching in Canada with four stores in major cities.
"The retail landscape continues to change, and our success is dependent upon our ability to evolve along with it," said Mike Pratt, president of Best Buy Canada. "By taking a proactive approach in transforming our operations now, I have no doubt we will be in the best position to continue innovating our store experience for consumers and grow into the next decade."
Sears spokesman Vince Power in a statement that the imminent layoffs across Canada are "part of our initiative to right-size the organization, which is working in concert with other initiatives to make Sears successful."
Best Buy Canada, like its American parent, faces stiff competition from online electronics retailers such as Amazon and Apple and is replicating a U.S. strategy of switching to smaller stores, which are less expensive to operate. Meanwhile, Sears Canada — which has suffered for years from falling sales and profits — is shrinking its overhead from its 360 department stores and 300 distribution centers.
While Canada's retail sector has been wobbling ever since Walmart arrived in the mid-90s, this latest round of market rumbling is spurred by Target's immiment expansion plans, as the cheap chic retailer gets ready to open the first of its 124 stores in Canada next month.Continue reading...

Quality shoe!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nike Men's KD VI Basketball Shoe (Apparel)
These shoes are very comfortable, provide tremendous grip, and plenty of style. The materials used feel very high quality and the shoe has no obvious point of wear even after 2 years. There were some very small tears in the very outer layer of the "suede" material but it's purely aesthetic damage and to be expected after so long. The plastic piece on the lace is very convenient ;I haven't tied my shoes for at least a year now and there isn't much of an issue. Overall I'm thrilled with the looks, the quality, and the performance of the shoes grip. They will last as long as two pairs of another shoe

From Ifedayo Sayo (Ado-Ekiti), Lawrence Njoku (Enugu) and Isa Abdusalami (Jos)
EKITI State Governor, Mr. Segun Oni and other eminent Nigerians have described the death of former governor of old Kano State, Alhaji Abubakar Rimi as painful and shocking.
In a statement yesterday, Oni said with the death of Rimi, "Nigeria has lost yet another committed patriot and outstanding statesman of impeccable integrity."
Governor Oni in the statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Wale Ojo-Lanre, said: "I received with shock the news of the death of Alhaji Abubakar Rimi and I still can't fathom why he had to die this time that patriots like him are needed to move the country forward."
Also, National Chairman of the Justice Party, Chief Ralph Obioha, yesterday described the death of Rimi as a national loss, stressing that it has opened another chapter in the security situation of the country.
He stated in Enugu that the development has made it imperative for a review of the country's police formation, stressing that it was unfortunate that a high class politician like Rimi could go the way he did from the action of a people he had always stood for.
He said: "Who knows the kind of harassment they gave to him that led to his blood pressure rising to the point that doctors could not manage his case. Although reports said he was not shot, personally, I believe he must have been mentally touched for him to have lost control and consciousness to the point of death.
"The leadership of this nation really needs to take a critical look at the Police formation of this country to save her best brains and future from hoodlums.
"The unfortunate demise of Rimi has become a serious sign post that issue of security of lives and property should be in the front burner of the development of this country. It must be treated as a national issue requiring active solution. It is sad that a vibrant and progressive politician, who spent the large chunk of his life fighting for the people could be messed up by the same people he was fighting for, in a most inhuman manner," he said.
Obioha spoke as a chieftain of the Action Congress (AC) in Plateau State and a political contemporary of the late Rimi, Ambassador Yahaya Kwande, said he felt very bad on hearing of his friend's death.
Kwande described Rimi as a very fantastic politician who was well celebrated, saying that he was a politician of honour and virtue who was also honest and whose intention was to help the ordinary man.

Postma sent to Jets AHL affiliate for conditioning after blood clot issue
Jan 29, 2014, 7:42 PM EDT
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Paul Postma's battle with a blood clot in his leg is over and he's ready to get back on the ice.
The Jets assigned Postma to St. John's in the AHL for a conditioning assignment so he can potentially rejoin the team soon.
Postma played in eight games this season before developing the blood clot on October 27. Since then, he's been out of action waiting for things to clear up.
Postma could have a chance of getting right back into action with the Jets because of a back injury to Grant Clitsome and Dustin Byfuglien's move to forward. He'd likely have to beat out the likes of Keaton Ellerby, Zach Redmond, and Adam Pardy for ice time when he's ready to play.

Wednesday, 10 Aug 2011 03:58 PM
CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) — Ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is quietly working to hire political operatives in the crucial primary state of New Hampshire for a possible presidential bid.
That's according to several people with direct knowledge of the effort. They are telling The Associated Press that representatives for Giuliani have contacted veteran New Hampshire campaign strategists in recent days about joining a Giuliani campaign. These people spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to disclose the information.
They say that Giuliani's team worries that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's all-but-certain campaign could scoop up the few remaining top operatives in the first-in-the-nation primary state.
One key Giuliani supporter says he hasn't yet decided whether to run.
Fouhy reported from New York.

Tom Waits - Never Let Go Lyrics
Tom Waits – Never Let Go Lyrics
Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe
Fall down on your knees in the dirt
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind
Believe me, you'll never get hurt
Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole
Down at the Five Points(1) I stand
I'll lose everything
But I won't let go of your hand
Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed
I'll bail with the roll of the drum
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel
And the watchman is making his rounds
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth
I've only got one leg to stand
You can send me to hell
But I'll never let go of your hand
Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream(?)
Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood
From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand
Walking back home in the mud(2)
Now I must make my best of the only way home
Molly deals only in stone
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes
Just give me a couple more throws
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight
Dare me to jump and I will
I'll fall from your grace
But I'll never let go of your hand
I'll never let go of your hand
[Tom Waits - Never Let Go Lyrics]

'you ain't no Rom— what the hell
you— gotcha. what I want you to say?
no, no, no— that would be more like: you
better think of a reasonable explanation
quickly or you'll be screwed—!'
"Too fuckin' bad 'cause I
ain't got a reasonable
explanation fer ya. I left
for awhile and came back.
Nothing special."
'reassuring words. I can feel my heart
melting. honestly, that's all you have to
say after all this time?'
"The Hell do ya want
meh to say to ya?
Ya know I ain' no
Romeo. I can't say shit
like 'I miss ya'."
don't fall in L O V E with me.
[ i wouldn't know what to do about it ]
"Have ya tired
not be such a bitch
to people? Maybe
ya'd get some peace
like tha'."
Absence had never been a problem for her, who had grown accustomed to people traveling through her life — and leaving without even saying goodbye. He was no exception to this rule, for he himself had turned his back to her — just as her parents did, such as the so-called friends.
If anything, nothing but a new name to be added to her list.
Yet, this man was stubborn to the level of breaking through the limits in a foolish attempt to impose himself. Oh, he was truly a pain in the ass! And the 'E', began to consider the thought that she had been too soft, allowing him to treat her as he pleased, stepping on her ego day after day.
'What the fuc——'
The noise of the door being pushed open shoved her mind away from her reverie, the purple gaze traveling across the room and setting its focus upon the male as a frown of distaste shaped the features of her face— why could not people understand the meaning of a closed door?
The scene was familiar, perhaps not for him— but many had witnessed the woman in such a condition, toying about to get her way and end her day with an unrecognizable corpse lying at her feet. He had arrived just in time.
'You have nothing to do here, Designation H—- and you better forget what you just saw.' Harsh in tone, all she would offer was a glimpse of her back as she addressed the word to him, somewhat flustered at being caught in the act. 'Get out—- now—!'
Of course she would be outraged- He had the tendency of leaving without a word lately. It was nothing directed at her, simply his flames much preferring the silence of the screams of the say idiotic numbskulls that walked down their halls. If he stayed around, he would have killed them all- And His Majesty would have slain for that. Yet, why was she so offended, didn't she hate him? He honestly only came around believing things would have returned to normal, only to see her basically shove him away.
"Eh? Th'fuck would I
leave if I just came back?
The Hell is yer problem-
An' when the fuck did'ja
start callin' me from my
He watches her, carefully- Knowing by now when she would be irritated or on the point of attacking by mere body language alone. He had known her long enough to read her like a book. He simply wanted answers at this point. There was a gnawing feeling within him to reach out and pull her back, whether from her hair or arm had yet to be decided but he keeps his hand in his pockets, rolling his shoulders as he turns to follow her.
"I thought ya'd be happy
wit' me bein' gone. Ya
hate meh, right? Find me
disgusting? Unbearable?
But lookit ya now, Bambietta-
Ya look lika ya missed meh more
then ya'd wanna admit."
Yet, it was perfectly fine if she missed him, because the feeling was mutual. He simply had no means to epress such weak emotion. So he would simply reach out and grab her wrist and tug her back so she would face him, not turn away from him.
"Tell meh wha' the fuck is
yer problem before I leave
yer ass here for good. I'm
done playin' yer li'l game."
How long had he been gone? Enough to sense the amount of shit he was in with her. He gives a groan, loud and drawn out, as his boots carried him to the hotheaded woman whom had grown from a throne to a scar on his side. The Heat mused if The Explosive would beat him to a pulp, but laughed as his mind explained that she would attempt to murder him in his sleep instead.
But it was her cruel smile he was fond of.
He stops at her door yet doesn't waste time in knocking. He was never a gentlemen at heart. Instead, he opens the door and walks to her, the smile she desired and damned now settled on his face.
"Loooooooooooooong time no see, huh? Did'ja miss me?"
I need you like a heart needs a beat
but that's nothing new
'time we've gotten in?'
the question presented by him partially ceased the flow of her thoughts, curiosity being brought to the surface as gloved fingers slipped away from his form, before he had it caged within the grasp of his own. usually basterbine would draw back and try to break free, but she was oddly relaxed to bother with it.
'nah, bullshit— but… seriously, when did you notice this detail?'
"Spent time together, ya moron."
He was shocked she did not attempt to bash his head in for grabbing her, her body did not even go tense- Was she that comfortable with him now? His thumb skimmed her wrist for a moment before letting go. If she desired him to continue, she would have to make the first move.
"Since I nearly run ya down once 'cause I didn' fuckin' see you in the hallway."
