I am a parent of a trans-gender f-m. This is a blog about my thoughts surrounding the ups and downs of this transition. I'm new to this subject matter, and we are seeking counseling for living as a trans-gender family, and coping with the changes. I would love your thoughts. However, due to the subject, please refrain from any put-downs or matter that may be offensive to anyone reading this.
Sunday, July 24, 2011
This is something that has been anticipated because it will mark M's first time as going someplace where s/he will go as M, the young man. I'm excited for this, yet rather scared at the same time. I trust M will make good decisions, so I anticipate M to not take any drinks from people (preferably non-alcoholic), check in each evening when getting back, and get help when needed. Today we are going up to Capital Hill to a store that sells binders. M doesn't know we're doing that yet, but I think it's important. In my view, it's something that I've procrastinated on. But first, we're going to church and having dinner with the family.
I told M's aunt, who is a good friend of mine (father's sister) about M. I'm glad I talked to her because she told me that I may not want to tell other people in the family besides M's uncle, as the family is quite conservative and may blame me and stuff. Good pointers. I do know that M's grandma tends to look at how people raise their children and the problems they have. I could say some things about her 2nd offspring, but that's the old Gretchen who tries very hard not to judge. Marcia is Marcia, and she's still very much a part of our life, and always will be, even if M comes out to her.
Anyway, I continue to feel overwhelmed and appreciative of the support and pointers that I'm given by you. It's been the community of followers, blogs, and professionals that have helped me take a big leap in the past few weeks by stepping back and seeing what I need to do to continue supporting M.
Thank you, and I actually am in the middle of writing another entry that I may put on tonight or tomorrow. You will probably see more this week just because this is an outlet, and there's a lot of stress going on in the household. M needs to finish her summer school before going to L.A., and I know that's gonna be a drama in our household. My house will be a stage this week with all of it, I'm sure.
Take care!
2 comments:
I can't believe you're buying M binders! How dare you! Just kidding, really. In all seriousness though, I am truly amazed how quickly you are moving through towards the acceptance phase, but I shouldn't be surprised considering how evident your love for M is. Way to go Mama! I'll be looking forward to your other posts!ReplyDelete
What's funny, is I still can't seem to buy Axe. Weird, I know.ReplyDelete

Next month hundreds of New Zealanders will face the pre-dawn chill on Gallipoli Peninsula to commemorate Anzac Day.
It will mark the 101st anniversary of the fateful landing on rugged Turkish soil, where 2779 New Zealanders lost their lives in nine months of conflict. In time New Zealand soldiers came to respect their Ottoman rivals, who fought tenaciously in defence of their homeland.
The famous Turkish commander Mustafa Kemal - later Ataturk, the country's founding president - who led the Ottoman counterattack to recapture Chunuk Bair from the invasion force, paid a remarkable tribute to the Allied casualties.
"They have become our sons as well," Ataturk remarked.
When New Zealanders head to Gallipoli for April 25 ceremonies, they will be in a country moving rapidly away from Ataturk's secular vision.
Last weekend the Government seized control of Istanbul's largest newspaper.
Under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, critics are locked up, journalists jailed and authorities given free rein to crack down on dissent.
Once on track to be a model Muslim democracy, freedom has been shelved in modern Turkey.
It is not the country where so many New Zealanders were embraced as "our sons" and a nation with which it once seemed we shared some common values.
If Turkey slides further into authoritarian rule, then tragically fewer New Zealanders may be willing to visit the Gallipoli memorials to honour the fallen men.

|Glass and Polymer Clay Ornaments with Decoupage
I know, it's only October and kind of early to be thinking Christmas already but it will be here before we know it. I'm trying to get a jump on it this year so I have started by making these ornaments. I start with a clear glass ornament ball and remove the top hanger. Using Super Sculpey polymer clay, I make strips about 3/4" wide. I use a large rubber stamp with a lace pattern on it and press the texture into the clay before applying the strips to the glass ball. I cut two circles for the top and make a wire hanger and poke it through the textured circle and put a plain circle on the bottom to hold the wire loop and place it on top of the neck of the glass ornament. To bake the ornaments, I lay a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil on top of a muffin pan and gently make indentations with the foil in the muffin openings for the ornaments to sit while they are baking.
|Ornaments are baked at 275 degrees for 15 min.
Once the metallic paint is dry, I fill in the clear areas of the ornament with Gallery Glass paint doing half at a time and letting it sit until it is dry. It can take several hours for the glass paint to dry thoroughly. Once it is dry, carefully turn it over and fill in the clear area on the other side.

Each person holds a specific purpose for which they were brought to life. We all come into the world with inner talents, and we need the right spaces to explore them in order to embody them for the benefit of others. So that our work can become the spontaneous expression of our own being.
A few weeks ago a group of twenty young social innovators attended the ChangemakerXchange summit in Palermo, Italy – a program co-created by Ashoka and Robert Bosch Stiftung. We came from all over Europe, including Turkey and the South Caucasus, the Middle East and North Africa with the goal of expanding our networks, learning from one another, and collaborating across sectors and disciplines. On paper, we were all drastically different. But we all shared one common desire – that of using our passion for challenging the status quo for creating a better world.
Modern society puts a lot of pressure on young people to follow some socially accepted predefined paths, which focus on financial retribution and external recognition to measure levels of success and achievement. Efforts to conform and maintain the stability of the system are praised, and there is little time and space to discover and re-asses the inner purpose of any person or organization. Yet, as we explored first hand during the summit, the crises are only getting more complex and destructive, whilst my generation is increasingly experiencing emotional exhaustion and physical burnout.
ChangemakerXchange provides young changemakers with space and time to step back and reflect on our journeys, as well as stepping forth and share our skills and expertise to support others. As a result, on the one hand, we explore practices to lead a meaningful and thriving life that nourishes us; on the other hand, we learn tools to amplify the positive impact of our social ventures. As changing the status quo requires a significant amount of energy, it is important we take regular time to re-assess our intentions and renew our commitment to social change.
The conversations and workshops in Palermo helped us realign to our purpose and our values. They also confirmed that even though our individual journeys are distinct, we have all embarked on a collective journey. It is only by acknowledging our differences that we can then join forces to manifest our vision to create a better world. And to do this, the first step is to sit back and listen, to ourselves and to others.
Ashoka's ChangemakerXchange Summit 2017
Ashoka's ChangemakerXchange, a global collaboration platform for young social innovators, is hosting a summit in Dubai, UAE, from 26th April until 30th April 2017.
The summit is open to applicants, aged between 18 and 30 (with limited places for 29- and 30-year-olds), who lead their own social ventures in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, or Yemen.
Apply directly at https://cmxchange.typeform.com/to/K0PkpM. Applications close at midnight GMT on Sunday, 19th February 2017.

VOLPE, APPELLANT,v.ATLANTIC CRUSHED COKE COMPANY
Appeal from judgment of Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County, July T., 1961, No. 208, in case of Dorothy Volpe v. Atlantic Crushed Coke Company.
R. Herbert Buchman, for appellant.
Christ. C. Walthour, Jr., with him Kunkle, Walthour & Garland, for appellee.
Ervin, P. J., Wright, Montgomery, Jacobs, Hoffman, and Spaulding, JJ. (Watkins, J., absent). Opinion by Montgomery, J. Wright, J., would affirm the judgment below.
Author: Montgomery
[ 208 Pa. Super. Page 12]
This appeal questions the propriety of the lower court's action in entering a compulsory non-suit at the completion of plaintiff's case, and subsequently a judgment for the defendant.
The action is in trespass by the owner of real estate situate in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, seeking treble damages for the unlawful mining, removal and appropriation of coal by the defendant, and is based on the Act of June 24, 1939, P. L. 872, § 812, 18 P.S. § 4812, which provides:
[ 208 Pa. Super. Page 13]
"Whoever mines or digs out any coal, iron or other minerals, knowing the same to be upon the lands of another, without the consent of the owner, is guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or to undergo imprisonment not exceeding one (1) year, or both.
"The person so offending shall be further liable to pay to the owner double the value of the coal, iron or other materials so mined, dug out, or removed, or in case of the conversion of the same to the use of such offender, treble the value thereof, to be recovered, with costs of suit, by action of trespass or trover as the case may be. . . ."
This statute has been held highly penal both in its criminal and civil aspects and therefore must be strictly construed. Rhoads v. Quemahoning Coal Company, 238 Pa. 283, 86 A. 273 (1913), which case is based on the Act of May 8, 1876, P. L. 142, which was similar to the Act of 1939.
Defendant's answer to the complaint denied that it had unlawfully entered into the tract of coal owned by the plaintiff and further denied that it had unlawfully removed therefrom the amount of coal which plaintiff claimed had been removed, to wit, 3,696 tons more or less. It further denied that it had unlawfully appropriated to its use such coal, and under the heading, "New Matter", alleged that the husband of the plaintiff, Frank Volpe, then an owner with the plaintiff as tenants by the entireties of said property had agreed to permit the defendant to mine and remove any coal that it desired in consideration ". . . for the privilege of depositing overburden from the land of Frank Volpe and Dorothy Volpe on the land ...

Brian McClaren and
Mark Noll are, thankfully, two of the "25 most influential evangelicals in America" according to Time.
No Falwell on the list. Darn.
Why is it when Larry King needs a talking head he turns to someone like Falwell? Why not McClaren or Noll? Then again, I don't want them to be talking heads eitehr. But it would be a nice change of pace, once in a while.

The Magicians by Lev Grossman
Rating: 3 stars out of 5
If you want a book that will positively EXPLODE 100 pages from the end before tapering off into the disheartening mess that came before, you need look no further.
For those of you late to the party like me, The Magicians is about Quentin Coldwater, quite possibly the most unlikable character in the history of American literature. He is accepted into a magic school, graduates, and then finally goes on a wild quest culminating in a particularly jaw-dropping magical fight scene that almost makes the rest of the book worth it and situates this tome safely in the three-star zone.
I have many issues with this book, large and small. While Grossman's overall writing style is solid, avoiding gaffes of epic proportions, his well-noted overuse of similes is not exaggerated. On one page alone, the following similes occurred: "as if she were floating in a swimming pool;" "like she was blown from Murano glass;" "like a faltering radio signal;" "thin as taffy;" "translucent as cellophane." I am probably missing one or two due to sheer desensitization. Grossman also has a knack for putting in details- but not always the details I'd want to know. I learned more about Quentin's pee than I have ever learned about the pee of another character in any book I've ever read. We learn when it is acidic. We learn when it is orange.We learn when he goes to piss against a tree. It would be one thing if this served a point, but it did not.
Either Grossman or Quentin is sharply misogynistic. I am not sure which, but will confess I spent most of the book thinking it was Grossman before the last 100 or so pages when I was confronted with the fact that he might know what he's doing after all. One woman was, in Quentin's estimation, too pretty to be a paramedic. Another was described as too pretty to be a magician. Yet another was described as projecting "both toughness and kindness." Based on this description ALONE, she is described as "to the best of Quentin's ability to gauge these things, a lesbian." I won't even touch on the implications of some of the sex in this book.
I was unfortunately left with the vague impression, even at the end, that Grossman wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do. Is this a legitimate fantasy novel? Is it a satire or parody? Is it a cunning subversion of the genre? I kind of think maybe it tried to be but Grossman ended up taking himself too seriously for that.
I was not exaggerating when I called Quentin unlikable. I won't dwell on this overly much, but he is determined to be unhappy, and feels no real remorse for anything whatsoever until the very, very end of the book. In fact, in life according to Quentin it is the world's fault for not being awesomer and other people's fault for whatever bad things that he himself did.
I did generally enjoy Grossman's writing. At points, I was taken aback by his way with words, such as when he says "The little girl's hooded eyes expressed a precocious acquaintance with adversity" or during some of his better crafted similes.
Furthermore, in Alice, Quentin's love interest for much of the book, Grossman creates a superb and nuanced character, the moreso because you only figure her out slowly, coming to gradually understand her depths.
I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind a dark book whose characters struggle with morality, anyone who thinks they might be able to read it as a satire, anyone who wants to explore the dark side of the magical, or anyone who loves a good simile ;)

Eventim Apollo
6 July
London received a long-overdue dose of Dallas for the first of a two-night celebration of 20 years of Baduizm.
Warming up for her performance, was none other than iconic British soul singer, Omar. Having never had the experience of seeing him live, I was disappointed in the lack of depth to his performance and sadly it felt a little slap-dash. The lack of band presence is strikingly obvious and his inability to go beyond a verse per song (yes, including There's Nothing Like This), left me wanting more. Maybe that was the point. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation and general sweat which meant that nobody could hold it against him for long.
As you'd probably expect, the band was tight at all times. Taking direction from Badu, they were delicate when necessary, with tracks like Orange Moon and Time's A Wastin, and packing a punch in equal measure, with tracks like I Want You and Fall In Love (Your Funeral).
When she started running short on time, Erykah verbally brough us up to date on the last 20 years, including when she had her babies, Window Seat-gate and laying down the reasons for making New Amerykah Part One (4th World War).
However it felt as though Badu jumped around throughout the eras, making her set a little hard to follow. She played lesser-known, more obscure tracks than classic bangers – which made for a reflective gig at times. I would be lying if I said I wasn't expecting to hear quintessential tracks like Next Lifetime, Window Seat or Tyrone; still, looking around at the crowd, to the "if you know, you know" looks shared between fans, suggested Badu knew exactly what she was doing

(For all the children of exiles, the children of the Philippine diaspora, and the children of overseas Filipino workers. For Nasudi Francine who asks a lot of questions.)
Each time I call home since days before Christmas day, the youngest daughter, who sometimes picks up my call, have had these moments I call 'the wages of exile.'
I am thus writing this piece to assuage her hurt feelings. Let it be said, and this is to remind her, that the wounded feelings of a father who goes away are no different from the wounded feelings of children left behind.
When the daughter, at six, shall have grown up a bit and will be able muster her emotions and sort our the emotional deficits that have attended to our exilic lives, I hope that she will get the chance to read this piece, read between the lines, and read the harrowing loneliness that is hidden in the first laughter I try to blurt, painfully, each time I dial the numbers home, the thirteen numbers needed to hear the ringing of our home phone more than seven thousand miles away.
Like the clown, I laugh to hide away the pain. I guffaw so the children would not sense that on the other side of the vast sea separating us is their father trying to eke out a life for them all and trying to chase a dream whose contours come in vagueness at times, as vague as the dark clouds that have visited Oahu for since many weeks ago, with our share of flash floods and raging rain and roaring thunder.
Hello, I say. Aloha, darling daughter.
Hello, papa. Malungkot ako ngayon. Malungkot talaga. (I am sad now. I am rally sad.)
I laugh. It is now the second time she tells me this. The first time was a horrible experience. I was caught off guard and I did not know what to say, initially at least.
Why so? I ask her.
I try to shoo away her feelings.
Now, now the children, all three of them, have always been emotionally intelligent.
Her brother is the same, that one boy who at seven months came into this world hurriedly and catching us unprepared of so many things including the training that we needed to give him the special formula for three-pounders like him, his weight at birth at 3.14 pounds one reason why we nicknamed him Mr. Pi.
And because her brother was born pre-term, he did not have all those special gadgets that we have to procure, baby bottles included before that day, two months in advance, that he was supposed to be born.
The boy came into the world during the turbulent times of pre-Marcos rallies and and street demonstrations, a number of which I participated in as a concerned citizen and aware of the politics of callousness that had been holding us hostage and shanghaiing our rights as hardworking people, not 'smart' like the ways of the 'smarter' others perhaps, if we go by the vision of the writer Manlapat, but diligent, tax-paying, and law-abiding 'ordinary' members of a country that was all too wrong--a country that was not the correct one for us but which was the only we have got nevertheless.
For at that time, I had seen the big dramas: Pope John Paul II had come to bless us and beatified our Lorenzo Ruiz; the same pope had come again the second time around to visit and blessed of our faithful and country and offered us our first saint, the martyr whom he beatified; President Ferdinand Marcos had lifted Martial Law and the summary execution continued; and then the first-ever People Power revolution in the whole of human history courtesy of the peoples of the Philippines who have grown so tired of the social injustices and all forms of tyranny they had to endure in a long, long time.
The first-born was just a few months old when you opened your mouth and the following you are imprisoned or salvaged. Knowing the fragility of the political situation, I had my share of parental worries, with my instructor's salary unable to fend for our needs, and with the cost of living in Manila the blighted city spiraling everyday. The infant formula almost doubled without me knowing and the Catholic university where I was teaching was depriving us of our legal share of the increase in tuition.
Those were hard times, harder than any other time I could remember, not even those times that I spend years and years in a walled, convent life trying to entertain a delusion of grandeur that I was 'called'—yes, the mysterious word was 'called'—to the vowed life.
That was not true, of course, and I soon realized that my world, my authentic world, was to be one spent in the classroom for years and years, which, even in exile, is the only work that I know, and the only one that I know how to do it with grace and patience.
Her sister, their age difference almost fifteen years, is the same. She is emotionally intelligent, and always demonstrative and expressive of her feelings, telling you in brutal frankness what she feels about things and how she feels about issues, complete with gesture and the pitch and tone of the voice.
So there, when children are emotionally intelligent, you can never tinker and play with their hearts. You ought to be always on guard, on the move, on defensive side.
Bakit ka malungkot? I ask her, the youngest that is my phone pal almost everyday. Why are you said? (I take a mental note: why did I have to ask her that. I call myself a moron for the first time in a long while. I know, I know: I am stoking a fire here.)
Kasi po wala ka dito! Papaano ko mararamdaman ang pasko? Sabi sa school ko, di mo raw mararamdaman ang pasko kapag wala ang tatay mo. (Because you are not here. How will I feel the spirit of Christmas? In my school, they say that when your father is not around, you cannot feel the spirit of Christmas.)
Oh, is that so, I tell her. But this is only temporary, darling daughter. You know…
Pero wala ka nga dito, papa. (But you are not really here).
Oo nga, pero next year, dito na tayo lahat. Magpapasko pa tayo sa Disneyland sa Hongkong! O yes, but next year, we will all be here. We will spend Christmas in Disneyland in Hongkong!)
Gusto kong mga laruan ko pink lahat-lahat! (I want my toys to be all pink!)
Ok, I will send them to you. All of them pink.
Kelan mo ipinadala ang box? (When did you ship the 'balikbayan' box?)
Soon I will send it.
Kelan darating? Pero sana, nandito ka sa bagong taon? Nandito ka ba sa bagong taon, papa? (When is it arriving here? But, will you be here on new year's day? Will you be here, papa?)
No, I don't think so, I say. I turn the lights of my office off. I am using my cellphone so I can easily move to the entrance to turn off the switch.
Sige, anak, I say. (Ok, child, I tell.)
Sige, papa, I love you, I miss you, Merry Christmas! (Ok, papa, I love you, I miss you, Merry Christmas.
I love you, baby, I say.
I permit my tears to flow profusely in the deep, deep dark.

Todays card is a case from the Stampin' Up! demonstrator known as beadsonthebrain. I really liked the card so I just copied it "as is". Feeling Sentimental was the first Sale-a-bration item I picked out while viewing the mini catalog and the first item I earned free. I really like it!
On this card I used a spritzer filled 3/4 full with rubbing alcohol and 11 drops of Early Esprsso refill ink. I sprayed several pieces on this card. I would have liked a "splotchier" look, but I'll have to keep experimenting. I called this card a medly because I used all 3 images on this card.

Sorry for the lateness of this post, but this has been a busy week-end. We spent the Fourth with friends, and then yesterday, we had one doozy of a storm front over use, with lighting and thunder pretty much all day. During such times, all electronics are unplugged.
However, I do want to bring up one of my favorite actors from the 30's and 40's, Peter Lorre. Short and pudgy with bulging eyes and a Hungarian accent, he was one of the most recognizable actors on the screen. In fact, he was frequently caricatured in the cartoons of the 40's. Last week, I talked about The Maltese Falcon; Lorre was one of the featured actors in Falcon. He played Joel Cairo, an effeminate (it was the time of the Hays Commission, remember) gangster, one of several looking for a storied artifact. His performance was excellent, of course, but if you want to see him turn in a powerful performance, rent the movie "M". A German movie, he portrays a predator of children. ("M" is on Hulu Plus, if you're a subscriber.)
In Maltese Falcon, made in 1941, Lorre works with Humprhrey Bogart and Sidney Greenfield. He would go on to work with Bogart in another great cinematic classic, Casablanca, and another seven times with Greenfield. As great an actor as Lorre was, it is a fact that he would take work doing whatever he could. Hence, in addition to such great films as "M", Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, and Arsenic and Old Lace, he would do such things as the entire Mr. Moto series of the 30's, and cheap thrillers in the 50's.
Lorre was also great doing comedy, and one of my favorites is his performance as Dr. Einstein, in the delightful comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace (I will be writing about that one, soon.) As well, he was delightful as one of the three Russian commisars in Silk Stockings, the Fred Astaire remake of Ninotchka.
Here is another clip from The Maltese Falcon, again opposite Bogey.

By Daniel Eslick
Twenty-two and still an evolving talent, Kermit Erasmus was touted for greatness when he emerged four years ago. One season at current club SuperSport United and the striker jetted off to Eredivisie stalwarts Feyenoord, with his pace and mesmerising control of the football aiding his growing star.
Merely two seasons in the Netherlands followed, as Erasmus returned to South African football after failing to make the grade at Feyenoord. He only made a few starts during his time in Rotterdam, and was loaned out to second division club Excelsior in order to help develop his skills. Playing 30 times for his loan club was not enough to convince Feyenoord of his future potential and Erasmus found himself back at former club SuperSport United at the beginning of the 2010/2011 season.
It could be considered as a fall from potential stardom and a failure to prove himself in Europe, but does Erasmus truly possess the skills to harm top-flight football teams? Even after returning to South Africa, the striker struggled to earn a starting berth in Gavin Hunt's side, with his undoubted quality often not leading to quantity in terms of goals and consistent performances.
The numbers tell the tale. Since returning to the PSL, Erasmus has played 57 times in the league, scoring 14 goals. He has been used as an impact player on occasion, with his blistering pace able to unlock tired defences, but often Erasmus has been guilty of profligacy when goals matter most for his side.
Utilised down the flanks, the electrifying attacking ability is there for all to see, but like many raw talents there is a lack of shine.
However, his rather unimpressive strike-rate is no worse than many other strikers plying their trade in the PSL. Compared to the players he would join at either Pirates or Chiefs, Erasmus would fit in. Bernard Parker, Chiefs top-scorer last season, has netted 15 goals in 56 performances for AmaKhosi. Pirates' ace marksman last season, Collins Mbesuma, only scored six times in 24 PSL appearances.
But this would not justify his move to one of the Soweto Giants. Pirates, a team which struggled to overcome a long spate of goalless action last season, would add yet another player suffering from the plague of wastefulness which tormented the Buccaneers. Roger de Sa has already supplemented his squad with proven goal scorer Lennox Bacela, an indication that perhaps Erasmus would not be required in the Buccaneer's set-up.
Chiefs, a side brimming with attacking power and few weaknesses, may also not need a player like Erasmus and could look for a striker who delivers unfailingly. Their acquisition of Knowledge Musona, who scored 20 times in 49 appearances for AmaKhosi during his previous stint at the club, means Erasmus may have fallen down the pecking order at Naturena.
Yet with youth on his side and a chance to grow, the striker has become hot property during the transfer window. Pirates, desperate for a creative element in their attacking line-up, will likely believe that they can profit from the pace Erasmus offers. His style of play would also suit Chiefs tried and tested counter-attacking tactics, which saw them open up defences at will last season. Mamelodi Sundowns' massive budget looms over the transfer window and the club is also linked to swoop in and sign Erasmus, with the Brazilians stockpiling talent once more.
There is potential in Erasmus and perhaps a move to one of South Africa's most famous clubs would fast-track his growth and improve his consistency. He has the ability to create the spectacular and has done so for SuperSport United before. But he has yet to prove himself as a player you can count on for goals or for a performance when it is most needed. Once he has unlocked this aspect of his game, he could become one of the PSL's finest talents.

Ah Australia. Beautiful beaches, friendly locals, laid-back lifestyle and home to the fantastic Carmichael coal mine. Seeking billions of tonnes of pollution? We got it! Causing irreversible damage to a World Heritage-listed reef? Of course! A tale of a corrupt organisation, a dying reef, some shady politicians and mass outrage? You bet your ass!
I have to say, prior to researching this piece I was embarrassingly naïve when it came to the Adani coal mine proposal – I'd heard of the mine and the potential environmental impacts, but I had no idea just how complex, ridiculous and utterly FECKED this situation is. Unless ya been living under a rock, you understand the seriousness of climate change and the severe coral bleaching occurring in the Great Barrier Reef. Conscious efforts need to be made to reduce carbon emissions, so why the Christ has our government decided to support the Adani venture?
Essentially, Adani wants to build a giant coal mine in the Galilee Basin in QLD, close to the Great Barrier Reef. This project would also include a rail line between the new mine and the Abbot Point coal port (also owned by Adani). The government was planning to hand over $1 billion of taxpayer money to fund the rail line and give the company a royalties holiday, where they could defer $320 million in payments. The mine and rail line would pollute and destroy everything remotely near it, including the reef.
A Corrupt Organisation
If Adani was a person, they'd be a combination of Trump, Hitler, a Grill'd staff member asking how your meal is while you've got a mouth full of food, that drunk girl that spills her entire drink on you, and someone who hates puppies. The Indian mining and energy company has a documented history of corruption. Their corporate structure is "convoluted and opaque", and 13 of the 26 Australian Adani subsidiaries are owned through the Cayman Islands, a known tax haven. Adani has been investigated and found guilty of:
– Laundering money
– Tax evasion (of nearly $200 million)
– Bribing Indian officials to cover illegal export of iron ore (7.7 million tonnes)
– Ripping off Indian customers by over $200 million
– Fraud
– Worker exploitation
– Use of child labourers and
– Unsafe working conditions resulting in multiple deaths.
In 2011, an Adani coal ship sank off the coast of Mumbai, spilling oil and over 60 000 tonnes of coal into the ocean. They did fuck all to fix the spill for FIVE YEARS. Adani Australia's CEO, Jeyakumar Janakaraj (let's just call him Head Wanker) was also in charge of a Zambian copper mine when it discharged dangerous water into a major river in 2010. This turned the water orange, the soil became barren, and people died. Head Wanker failed to disclose the company's role in this environmental disaster to the Australian Federal Government before the Carmichael mine was approved – could the company get any more shady?
Oh yep, they can! This year, while Cyclone Debbie was on her merry way, Adani sought a license from the QLD government to release highly polluted discharge into the Caley Valley Wetlands from a site adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef. They now admit they breached the conditions of this license, exceeding the permitted pollution limit by over 800%.
What do all these things add up to? A pretty corrupt company with no sense of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Companies are increasingly implementing strong CSR policies. It includes delivering social, economic and environmental benefits for all stakeholders – things like monitoring performance, engaging in ethical business practises, actively working to reduce carbon footprint and focusing on the needs of workers, customers and communities. So yeah, everything Adani ISN'T doing. The examples don't even scratch the surface of how corrupt the company is, so why is our government supporting such an unethical company?
A Dying Reef
In 2016, the Great Barrier Reef experienced the worst coral bleaching ever recorded in history. Bleaching occurs due to climate change – the air and oceans get warmer, heat stress causes the coral to release the colourful algae living in their tissue and they turn white. If the heat stress is relieved soon enough, the coral can survive – if not, it dies. And what is causing climate change? Yep, 10 points for Gryffindor if you guessed it- mining and burning fossil fuels (AKA coal)! A study in the Marine and Freshwater Research journal reinforced this connection: "Unrestrained warming cannot occur without the loss and degradation of coral reefs on a global scale".
Contrary to a lotta fake obituary articles, some parts of the reef are still very much alive and beautiful. Scientists at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Authority note that minor coral bleaching is a natural process, though back-to-back bleaching in 2016 and 2017 means some parts of the reef may not recover.
In 2016, the world's favourite human Sir David Attenborough (if you aren't obsessed with this adorable fella u can bugger right off) released a 3-part documentary series on the Great Barrier Reef, exquisitely detailing the animals of the reef, its history and its potential future. He urged that the reef is in danger due to climate change and the resulting change in sea temperature and acidity, pleading:
"Do we really care so little about the earth on which we live that we don't want to protect one of the world's greatest wonders from the consequences of our behaviour?"
He also created an interactive online portal where people can get inspired and educated about the reef. I'm no scientist, but operating a giant coal mine close to the Reef and shipping 60 million tonnes of coal through it a year probably ain't gonna help the situation.
Shady Politicians and Mass Outrage
As you can guess, there's been a bit of outrage from people not wanting their tax money used to fund the project, and numerous anti-Adani protest groups have popped up. Federal resources minister Matt Canavan championed the top-notch financial proposal, however some Federal Labour MP's have broken ranks to publicly object to it. This opposition, coupled with public belief that this agreement would entail a broken election promise, led QLD Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to help broker a new arrangement.
Shady Annastacia has been copping a lot of criticism, but she pulled through and announced QLD would not be the middle man in the funding support for Adani. This means no royalties holiday for Adani, however it still means giving them a freaking huge taxpayer-funded loan AND the project is now back on track.
All of this begs the question- Why is the Government supporting the project? Are there benefits?
Adani has claimed the project will generate around 10, 000 jobs, however their own expert witness in court claimed that number is actually a meagre 1,464 Australia-wide. The QLD government has labelled the project "critical infrastructure" that will have much-needed economic benefits. However, the Environmental Defenders Office Queensland did some legal analysis and deemed this "an inappropriate use of legislation" that could encourage other private developments to demand the same status. Some advocates have also claimed that coal from the Carmichael mine will be cleaner than coal produced in other parts of the world, so it will actually be helping to reduce carbon emissions. U wot? A new Climate Council report has literally TOLD US that 90% of Australia's coal must remain in the ground – if the Galilee Basin is mined, we could use up to two-thirds of the world's carbon budget.
The moral of this complex story is that Adani is fucked, our government sucks for continuing to endorse the Carmichael mine project and everyone involved can get rekd. I can't wrap my head around how this proposal could be beneficial in ANY form to the public or the environment, and the truth is – it isn't. The only people that will profit are Adani. Unless we want to see the Great Barrier Reef and everything near it destroyed, someone needs to put a stop to this. And if it won't be our government, then it needs to be us.

A woman who stopped on a New Hampshire highway to help a group of ducklings whose mother had been struck and killed by a car should've been commended by police for her compassion. Instead, she was given a ticket.
Hallie Bibeau, a 33-year-old from Newfields, N.H., was driving east on Route 101 in Brentwood on Friday when she saw the ducklings.
"I could hear them peeping, and I looked over ... the right-hand side of the road, and I saw that their mom had been hit and was dead on the side," Bibeau told WMUR-TV. "I couldn't just continue on."
Bibeau called 911 and waited for police to arrive.
"While I was sitting there, I saw a few of them try to go to the westbound lane and got run over," Bibeau said. "It was terrible to see."
She got out of her car to scoop up two of the injured ducklings.
When a state trooper showed up, he gave Bibeau a $100 ticket for stopping in the median, a restricted area.
"We keep our medians free for vehicles who are truly having an emergency," state Police Lt. Nicole Armaganian told the ABC affiliate. "Stopping for an injured duck or ducklings is not what we would consider to be an emergency."
Bibeau, a new mom herself, says she plans to contest the ticket.
"For the mom that had gotten hit, I just wanted to do whatever I could for her ducklings," she said. "And if I could save two of them, I could save two of them."
Sadly, one of the ducklings later died, wildlife officials said.

Visit Painswick this month. You'll thank us.
My heart belongs to Painswick. No, it's not a tubby waistcoated Dickens character, it's an adorable tiny town in the South Cotswolds. I'm a shallow soul really. A gorgeous boutique hotel, a sprinkling of couldn't-be-cuter shops (Ha'Penny Antiques, left), an excellent deli and a country pub and I'm smitten. Throw in your chocolate-box Cotswold-stone village setting and some gorgeous gardens to while away an afternoon in and I'm head over heels. And my reason to share this is to urge you to go this month: they're having an Painswick Summer Art Festival throughout August.
I couldn't believe my luck when we managed to get a last-minute weekend deal at Cotswolds88 during summer. We spent half our time trying to guesstimate how much of Britain would jump at the chance to experience a staycation weekend that went a little like ours and the other half plotting how and when we could get there again. In a nutshell, and to whet your appetite to follow in our footsteps, our two-night stay went a little like this…
Friday night: After wending our way through Gloucestershire's gorgeous country lanes, we rock up at postcard-perfect grey-stone country mansion which conceals super-stylish boutique hotel, Cotswolds88. Wander out into peaceful village, find award-winning deli, Olivas (left), for afternoon tea. Caper about in graveyard of St Mary's taking pictures amid those bonkers yew trees and shouting puns such as 'Suits yew, sir' all the while. (Trip on gravestone while running for self-timer picture, below left, and end up with leg graze that raises eyebrows later on back at hotel – but I digress.) Return to hip hideaway, drink some champagne-based aperitifs (sidestepping the pre-supper cocktail suggestion from young waiter of a White Russian; eek), eat like kings (delicious steak, guys); hit the sack.
Saturday: Wake up, wolf a carb-load for breakfast, ditch newspaper banging on about credit crunch and swine flu in favour of more village wandering. Better for the soul. Discover bookshop in 14th-century National Trust cottage, stroke resident basset hound, buy decades-old children's book as gifts for only a few pounds. Wander 'high street' browsing the sprinkling of shops, including a Tudor post office, buy a cute hand-printed card in the Chairman (left) to send to friend stuck in bed with aforementioned porcine affliction. See a leaflet and make note to self to mention Painswick Summer Art Festival on Blog…
For the full technicolour and we-did-this-we-did-that hotel write-up, see my proper Costwolds88 review online.
What to see and do in postcard-pretty Painswick?
Here are my eating, strolling and shopping recommendations…
Rococo Gardens Painswick GL6 6TH (+44 (0)1452 813 204)
It's fairly small, but perfectly formed. Pretty follies pop up in green flower-filled grounds, with a good old fashioned not-as-easy-as-it-looks maze to tackle. The tea shop isn't to be sniffed at – a decent Ploughman's and carrot cake provided a heartier lunch than we'd expected.
Little Fleece Bookshop on Bisley Street, Painswick GL6 6QQ (+44 (0)1452 812 264)
Collectors of quality secondhand and antiquarian books will thrill at the copies stacked from floor to ceiling, while browsers will find this 16th-century National Trust building worth earmarking alone for a visit.
The Chairman on New Street, Painswick (+44 (0)1452 810 8200)
The antique rocking horse should grab your attention, and then once you're lured inside it's hard to resist one of the many handicrafts or antique furnishings. Even the greetings cards are irresistible.
Ha'penny Antiques on Tibbiwell, Painswick GL6 6XX (+44 (0)1452 813 712)
This tiny gift shop opened three decades ago and is now run by the original owners' daughter, Kate. Floral teapots, pretty pottery and ribbonned cushions are just some of the curiosities to bring out the Magpie in browsers.
Olivas Delicatessen on Friday Street, Painswick GL6 6QJ (+44 (0)1452 814 774)
Far from your typical Cotswolds tea shop, Brian and Ximena Nunez have not only brought a taste of their native Colombia courtesy of the coffee that is served at this tiny hidden-away cafe and deli, but there are heartier home-cooked delights on offer for lunch and dinner as well as traditional cream teatime treats.
St Mary's Church
Grade I-listed church celebrated particularly for its 100 – or thereabouts – yew trees which are the stuff of Painswick's best-known folklore. Sorry about the posers in the pic – it didn't look as glam when I fell backwards onto aforementioned tombstone.
The Woolpack Inn (+44 (0)1452 813 429)
This timeless little country pub overlooking a valley one side, and a church the other, is especially popular for Sunday lunch (definitely call in advance). Beloved by Alex James and the hip Cotswoldian brigade, it can fill up quickly, so they split lunch into two sittings, 12pm and 2.30pm. We recommend the Eton Mess, pictured.

Real FAQs
Question: Although you're addressing winning scholarships for college, why all the controversial topics and other stuff you're talking about?
Answer: Because I truly want people to be better off. It's no accident that college is so unaffordable and as a result overall student debt is so high. This reality has been determined by broader factors (social, political, economic, and others). The reason why college has proven to be a debt-trap for many people (many who struggle afterwards to find the work they went to college for) is that while most students and parents haven't paid attention to the broader political, business and economic factors that have created the "college hustle," others who don't have students' best interests at heart have paid attention to them. Even more, the manipulators of these forces have influenced and exploited these factors in ways where they have greatly benefited at the expense of many college students.
Question: How come you just can't be a nice guy and only talk about winning scholarships for college?
Answer: First of all, I am a nice guy. Nevertheless, in the process of teaching people about winning scholarships and affording college, I've extensively studied the factors that have contributed to the debt-trap that college has been (and continues to be) for a lot of people. his has compelled me to share info about the "bigger picture" that I've extensively researched, studied, and discovered. I would be doing people a disservice by not at least making them aware of the broader factors that have impacted, and will continue to impact, their lives (regardless of their level of education or the lack thereof). However, if you just want info about scholarships and nothing else, then I'm able to provide that specific information. But if you want to know more about the true nature of the system that governs us, I've made it available.
Question: Are you for free markets and capitalism? Are you a socialist?
Answer: I'm not a socialist. I believe in free markets and capitalism when they are done in ethical ways and with adequate (but not excessive or needless) regulation. However, I'd rather make millions from things that truly enhance people's lives than make billions from things that hurt or take advantage of people (I know, this seems to be a not so popular sentiment in the United States, home of the "Forbes 400″). Besides, do we really want to live in a world and society where it's all about who can best con the next person out of his or her money? If the focus is just about selling and making money regardless of how it's done, that's what it will be. Even if you don't mind living in that kind of world, it's unsustainable (I get into why in my Cracking the System book). Think about it. Look at the end result of the subprime mortgage crisis, which was all about transferring money without providing actual value. If you don't know how bad that turned out, ask anybody who had money in Lehman Bros. or AIG who wasn't a company named Goldman Sachs (or another one of a relatively few selected institutions who benefited greatly benefited from government bailouts).
Question: What if: (1) I don't care about politics because (2) things won't change no matter who's in office, and because (3) they're all crooks?
Answer: In response to (1), you should care about politics because it does impact you. Why else do large companies and other groups spend millions of dollars on lobbyists to influence political policies? So, if you're not paying attention to politics, you can rest assured that powerful private interests are paying attention to and shifting political policies to their advantage in ways that might disadvantage you. When you don't pay attention, it's makes it a whole lot easier for them to get self-serving (and even destructive) policies passed. By the way, the federal funding of Pell Grants for college students is a specific party position that the Democrats generally embrace that Republicans generally don't. So, regardless of what political party you identify with, if you plan on attending (or are in) college, this is something that's relevant to you (unless you have a family fortune or something like that at your disposal). In reference to (2), things change when people demand change. Think about the Civil Rights and Women Rights Movements as well as the modern day Gay Rights Movement. Imagine if these groups would have accepted that "things won't change no matter who's in office." And in terms of (3), if they're all the crooks, that's all the more reason to monitor their behavior. If someone you know has a reputation for stealing, would you allow them in your house unattended and say, "Well, he's a crook, so there's nothing I can do about him stealing my stuff"?
Question: Why do you have to be so controversial and offensive?
Answer: It's cause and effect. I find many of the detrimental trends that have impacted the U.S. over the past several years to be controversial and offensive. These trends have systematically decimated the middle class, further impoverished the poor, and crippled our political system on all levels. I don't believe in sugarcoating reality. It's usually not helpful or even practical to use nice language to describe something bad. The first step in solving a problem is to acknowledge the problem and do so in a frank and honest way. Things are messed up. Think about it. If you randomly asked people in the U.S. do they think that the country has no serious problems and is completely on the right track, if anybody answered yes, would you not think that person is more delusional than a person who thinks that raising taxes on the super wealthy hurts the economy? The point is things have gotten so messed up in the U.S. (including the unaffordability of college) because most people weren't paying attention to (and doing things about) the bigger economic, social and political factors that caused these things. Things won't get better on their own without their being pressure from "everyday people" to make them better. Think about it. What good is a college education if the ozone layer has been destroyed, and as a result you can't even go out in the sun without wearing a three piece leather suit specifically designed to protect you from the sun's ultraviolet rays (and you're not even a has-been Hollywood star who has to dress that way in order to relive your glory days in the 1980s)?

If you think you live in a democracy in the US or UK, you may have your head up your ass
1. So you think you live in a democracy?
The US and Britain are falling far behind in meeting the conditions of genuine democracy.
By Ronald Dworkin /Guardian
Democracy doesn't mean just majority rule. There is no intrinsic value in the bare fact that more people favor one particular party or policy than another. Democracy is a value worth fighting for - it makes power legitimate - only when it means government through the majority on behalf of and for all the citizens. In a new book ("Is Democracy Possible Here?") I argue that the conditions of genuine democracy are far from met in the US, the UK and other mature self-styled democracies.
These conditions can easily be set out in very abstract terms. Government must respect human rights, it must respect religious freedom and other forms of freedom of conscience, it must distribute its wealth so as to give everyone a fair stake in its economy and, above all, it must conduct its elections and other political procedures argumentatively so that each citizen is treated as someone worth convincing not just outvoting.
The United States fails by all these standards, and Britain does not do much better. We fail most dramatically in the character of our politics. Our politicians treat us as ignorant consumers; they entertain us with slogans and sound bites rather than arguments. In America, a very pessimistic explanation of this degraded politics is now fashionable. Americans are supposedly divided into two radically opposed cultures: the red culture that wants its religion public, drinks beer, lives in the middle, and votes Republican, and the blue culture that keeps its religion (if any) private, drinks white wine, lives on the coasts and votes Democratic. Genuine argument requires some common ground from which argument can start, and the conventional wisdom now holds that these two cultures are so fundamentally divided, in every respect, that there is no common ground. Politics is doomed to be war by other means.
I don't agree with this pessimistic conclusion. There are two very basic ethical principles that I believe are firmly part of western culture now and that are shared across the allegedly unbridgeable political divide. These hold, first, that it is objectively important that a human life, once begun, succeeds rather than fails, and, second, that each person has a non-delegable personal responsibility for identifying and pursuing success in his or her own life. If we all accept those basic principles, then we can reconstruct political argument as an argument about which political policies pursue the most attractive interpretation of these basic ethical requirements.
I think we need a distinctly liberal interpretation, which includes an understanding of human rights that makes our treatment of many terrorist suspects a violation of those rights. There are two general models of religion and politics - a choice between a religious state that tolerates dissent and a secular state that tolerates religion - and I believe that the basic principles, properly understood, require the secular state. To this end, I have explored a scheme for judging whether the level of a community's redistribution of its wealth through taxation is legitimate - in my view taxation in the United States and in Britain is illegitimately low.
The quality of political debate in the United States and Britain could be improved by, for example, a mandatory course in contemporary political issues in all secondary schools in which the most divisive issues are discussed against the background of the best rival arguments. This is the kind of argument our countries now lack.
2. Three Scenarios for '08
By Michael Barone/realclearpolitics.com
A recent Pew poll showed a sharp change in Americans' political party identification: Democrats now outnumber Republicans 50 percent to 35 percent, as opposed to 2002, when both had 43 percent. These numbers may overstate the Democratic advantage. They measure all adults rather than just voters, and Pew's numbers in 2004 and 2006 were more Democratic than the exit polls. Still, the trend is clear.
What does it mean for 2008? Let me offer three scenarios and reasons why each may not happen.
1. The Blair scenario. In the early 1990s, Britain's Conservatives were regarded as nasty but competent. Then, Britain was forced to devalue its currency. Mortgage payments shot up, and the Conservatives' reputation for competence vanished. The result: Tony Blair's Labor Party won huge victories in 1997, 2001 and 2005.
The scenario here would be for Democrats to enlarge their congressional majorities and sweep to a 40-state presidential victory in 2008. The Republicans' reputation for competence was damaged by Iraq and Katrina. Under the Blair scenario, they would go further downhill, especially if Iraq is still seen as a losing cause.
Why it won't happen: Labor won only after Tony Blair rebranded the party as New Labor, with moderate policies. If the Old Labor Party leader John Smith had not died suddenly in 1994, to be replaced by the 41-year-old Blair, Labor might have lost or won only narrowly -- or so the British political experts I trust believe.
Here, Democrats don't seem to be rebranding themselves as "new Democrats," as Bill Clinton did successfully in 1992. As for competence, Republicans will have a new leader in 2008, and the candidates now polling the highest -- Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney -- can plausibly claim that quality.
2. The Ike scenario. In 1952, the United States was mired in a deadly conflict -- 10 times as bloody as Iraq -- that the incumbent president could not end. Then there emerged a candidate with a record of making life-and-death decisions in war: Dwight Eisenhower. Ike captured the Republican nomination from "Mr. Republican," Robert Taft, and then beat a refreshing new face from Illinois, Adlai Stevenson, who had little military experience. The victory came despite the Democrats' big edge in party identification.
None of the Republican candidates can claim experience just like Ike's. But Rudy Giuliani did command a uniformed force of 40,000 -- which reduced crime in New York City by 64 percent in eight years. John McCain served in combat and has had a record of close attention to military affairs ever since.
None of the leading Democrats have anything comparable. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been a conscientious member of the Senate Armed Services Committee for five years. Barack Obama is, like Stevenson, a fresh face from Illinois. John Edwards was a senator for six years and has been running for president for five. Polls show these three candidates trailing Giuliani and, sometimes, McCain.
Scenario: Giuliani or McCain could win even as voters choose a Democratic or (as in 1952) a very narrowly Republican Congress.
Why it won't happen: Giuliani and McCain are not Eisenhower. And they will be identified with George W. Bush's war policy, whereas Ike was not tied to Harry Truman's.
3. The Perot scenario. In February 1992, a short billionaire from Texas told CNN's Larry King that he might run for president. Ross Perot was able to partly self-finance a campaign, and his calls for reform stirred voters who were tired of stale, bitter partisan division.
The short billionaire in a position to do something similar in 2008 is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He has high job ratings and stands above partisan politics. With an income said to be $500 million a year, he can completely self-finance a campaign. He is also said to be interested in running. In 1992, many voters were unmoored from old partisan allegiances -- as many seem to be today.
Why it won't happen: A Bloomberg candidacy will probably be viable only if the major parties nominate candidates who reflect their narrow party bases, and they may not. Bloomberg also doesn't have the military experience that made Perot a plausible commander in chief.
Which of these scenarios will happen? I have no idea. All could, and so could others in between. I think we're in a period of open-field politics, like that of 1990-96, which gave us the Blair and Perot scenarios and could have given us the Ike scenario if Colin Powell had run in 1996.

It's Friday, that means it's time for another installation of VikLit's Celebrate the Small Things. Go HERE to sign up or see a list of participants.
This week I'm celebrating ...
1. I went to the TED event last Friday. It wasn't quite what I expected, but it was still a great afternoon, and I'll probably go again next year.
2. My work allows us to take every other Friday off if we still get our 80 hours in over the course of the 2 weeks prior....equals an extra 6 days off over the summer. WOO HOO!
3. And finally, today marks the 3 month anniversary of buying my FitBit, and last night I hit ONE MILLION STEPS. This is what it looks like:
Yeah, it kinda looks like steps 1 - 999,999 (half of them anyway, the other half my LEFT foot is in front, LOL) but I'm still celebrating.

History repeating itself
Trip (fictiune)
Song titles
I'm so tired that "I walk alone" I want "more than that". I want a girl with "lips like morphine" that can redefine the "shape of my heart". I'm tired of "living in the shadows" of my past and I want a "good girl" that can be there for me "any giving day". I don't just want the "next big thing" in my life, I want to feel like "nothing else matters". I want to feel like I found my "nymphetamine". I want someone who will put "roses on my grave". I want my "star girl" not another "demonology and a heartache". I want to "blow" all the pain and sorrow from my "metal heart". I'm fighting this with "white knuckles" and I'm "tired of being alone"… So as a the "fallen angels" that I've seen, I have this "pain redefined" in my heart… So this is my "anthem of the underdog" that I hope can "kick start my heart"
<*> every word that is in "" is a song title <*>
A new chapter
I'm beginning a new chapter in my life. As I turn the page I wanna burn all the bridges that connect me to my past and destroy everything I have in my life so i can start again new. I don't want no friends, i don't want no lovers and i don't want no pity, i'll do everything my way, alone as I always was and without any help. Everyone i trusted either passed away or betrayed my trust or they discarded me like I was a piece of shit or something they didn't need anymore. I'm sick and tired of people like this, so I send a nice FUCK YOU your way. New page, no... It's not a new page, it's a new book. I'm gonna change my ways. No more mister nice guy from now on bitches...
Yes... This is what i dreamed about but it's not what i want...
What if?...
I would just die to find someone worthy to give a rose to... Is that a bad thing ? Is it a bad thing to want to put a smile on someone's face ? Is it a bad thing to love someone ? I'm sick of making people cry and to see only suffering beside me... Sometimes i just want to put an end to it all... Or to put an end to myself... Is that a bad thing ? I know it's bad not having someone to be there for you... And in times like this i feel like I've lost everything i ever knew... I'm a junkie for romantic shit... And i guess i'm a junkie for being romantic with someone... But, when no one's there ?... When you feel alone ?... What's left to do then ?... I've wasted all my energy in something i believed in, that i feel like I've got nothing left to give... Is it bad fighting for something you want to do ? Giving up everything else ? I feel like I've reached the end of my line... Is it true ? Is anything else for me ?...
In club (trip)
I'm sorry for what you've become
I'm sorry for my wrongs
But I can't make them right...
I've lived for you
And you gave your life
Because of me
Because i wasn't there...
I should have been
In your place
I should have died
Instead of you...
This pain that i feel
It's tearing me apart
It's like all my world
Is crushing down on me...
Just leave me be...
In my agony...
Just leave me be...
Let this pain crush me...

Messenger now allows users to send and request money in group conversations.
(CCM) — Facebook Messenger's latest update brings a new feature dubbed Group Payments. It allows users to send and receive payments in a group on the Facebook Messenger app for Android and desktop. The company has not yet released the update for iOS.
The new feature also allows users to split bills among a group. To request money, users select the "Request Details" option. When requesting money, users must enter an amount. This amount is automatically and evenly divided among the group members. Payment recipients can request to be notified as payments are processed. To get started, users have to select the "plus" sign located at the bottom of a messenger and then click on the "$" icon to initiate a payment.
The Group Payments feature on Facebook Messenger also allows users to keep track of payment requests and transfers. Group members receive a message whenever someone pays the requested amount. Payment details can also be viewed on full-screen by selecting the option "Request Details."
For now, the update is rolling out for Android and desktop users in the US only. Facebook confirms that it will soon bring the feature to iOS devices and to other regions outside the US.
