"Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto. " - Dale Carnegie
Life is truly short. As cliche as this might sound, every moment counts. Every single moment, be it good or bad is part of life and it is something we must treasure. I made this album awhile ago, recording the everyday moments of K and B. I also found some time to journal my thoughts down.
Now lets get to the technical scrapbooking process. Firstly, the cover was done using an overlay found in Crate Paper's DIY Collection. I mounted some papers, die cuts and embellishments and placed my title. I chose a rather bold background paper knowing that the overlay will help to tone down the overall effect.
Here are the insides of the album. My strategy was to use up my fabric frames and overlays and I am excited as to how it turned out.
In some of these pages, I went beyond just placing photos behind frames or overlays. Like what you can see from the two photos above, I did a confetti pocket, and added elements both inside and outside of the frames for added fun interest. It also gave me the liberty to journal more, without the constraint of photos.
Happy Saturday!

Cult Movies & Crushes
As ever, I'm a bad, slack blogger... However, I thought I'd write about movies, and not the ones that are always easy to find, but the ones that are cult and compulsive viewing.
Dredged from the depths of my mega trivia laden mind, here is a tasty trio: Siesta, Revolver and Performance.
Siesta, 1987. This one features Spain & Gabriel Byrne, who is, to say the least, smoking hot in this film and plays a Spanish trapeze instructor. Yes, you did read that right. The film has an absolutely incredible cast: Ellen Barkin as a badass stuntwoman who draws no lines, Byrne, Julian Sands, Isabella Rossellini, Martin Sheen, Grace Jones and Jodie Foster. It's backed by one of the best, most evocative soundtracks conceivable, by Miles Davis.
What is this movie about? Umm. Let's just say it opens with Ellen Barkin waking, lying in a field in a bloodstained red dress, convinced she has committed a murder but sidelined by rolling amnesia. Julian Sands may be a dilettante photographer … or her guardian angel. And all she wants, and may have had, is one last good time with her ex, Augustine, AKA Byrne. Wouldn't we all? But then again, maybe the blood on her dress is his … or his wife's.
She's hoping it's Mrs Augustine's.
Hot, surreal, dreamlike, all of those good words. This is one arty film worth finding, even if simply for the soundtrack and the atmosphere.
Trailer for Siesta:
Revolver, 2005. Directed by Guy Ritchie, written by the brilliant Luc Besson & Ritchie. Starring Jason Statham and Ray Liotta, amongst others. This is one cool, complex, tricky movie with a great premise and no, Statham isn't his usual total-action self. He's actually pretty damned good. There's chess in it, on a board and as strategy, a gambler who gets panic attacks, and it is way better and more intriguing than the panning it got would indicate. I quote Statham's character, Jake, from the film: 'One thing I've learned in the last seven years: in every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former.' Watch and work it out, my lovelies.
Trailer for Revolver:
Performance, 1970. Mick Jagger, James Fox, Anita Pallenberg. An East London gangster, Chas/Fox is on the run and crash lands in the ramshackle (this was 1970) Notting Hill home of reclusive faded rock star Turner (Jagger) and his girlfriend Pherber (Pallenberg). This is one wild, trippy film that makes you wish you could time travel back to the last days of swinging London. Naturally, Jagger and Pallenberg perform a major mindfuck on the hapless fugitive, dismantling him piece by piece. Worth viewing if only to see Jagger sing 'Memo From Turner' surrounded by naked (genuine?) gangsters.
Performance's very vintage trailer…
Give at least one of these films a try, you won't regret it,

Why drones are the hot new accessory for narcissistic tourists
You need more than a selfie stick and a GoPro camera in your backpack if you want to capture those social media-ready holiday moments.
US traveller Renee Lusano and her friends were lucky to escape unharmed after disaster struck on their recent hike to a swimming hole beneath a Hawaiian waterfall. Moments after stripping down to their swimsuits, they were inundated by a terrifying flash flood.
The near-miss would have gone unreported if it wasn't for Lusano's travel accessory: her personal drone, which hovered above her during the ordeal and captured it in spectacular high-definition.
Lugging a drone around on holiday is not such an unusual thing to do. If you've visited a landmark recently, from the vantage points near the Golden Gate Bridge to a wind-blasted waterfall in Iceland, chances are good you've seen a fellow tourist setting up a cute flying robot to take their photo.
Drone aficionados agree the gizmos are the next logical step in our "narcissistic" obsession with capturing photos and videos of ourselves.
"The 'dronie' is the new selfie," Bob Guegan, proprieiter of JustDrones.com.au, told ninemsn Pickle.
Hobbyist drones have become far lighter, cheaper and easier to use in recent years, boosting their popularity among all kinds of people — farmers, fishermen, extreme sportspeople, and (of course) travellers keen to give their holiday photos an edge.
Most new drones now come standard with features that make it a breeze to snap a dronie, such as 1080p HD cameras (a big step up from the "pretty shitty" cameras on first-generation drones, Guegan said), and a function called "ghost" or "follow me", which allows the drone to automatically — and creepily — track its user's movements.
Guegan said that "throw and go" drones which have been hits on internet crowd-funding sites — such as the Lily and the Plexidrone — are successful because they're specifically designed to make aerial photography as effortless as possible.
It's not impossible to imagine that, some time in the near-future, the skies above holiday destinations with buzz thickly with adorable little drones. Fortunately, Guegan doesn't foresee this being the disaster it could be.
He told Pickle most people have enough "common sense" to fly a drone without incident, though he conceded there will always been one or two "idiots" — and he reserved special judgement for those holidaymakers who took their drones aboard cruise ships.
"It's a thoughtless danger" and you're "guaranteed to lose it", he said.
Guegan expects drones under $500 to be the hot present this Christmas, and those unwrapping them might not be who you expect.
When he opened Just Drones' virtual doors in mid-2014, he expected his customers would be teenagers. But most of his customers are "the baby boomers".
"They're toys for big boys," he joked.

The Caitlyn Jenner Story is Not About Caitlyn Jenner: My Message to the Transgender Community
Caitlyn Jenner has enough money to hole herself in her Malibu mansion for the rest of her life if she wants...security to lead her in and out of the fanciest restaurants and most expensive boutiques. However, the majority of trans people are out there right now, in your community, trying to lead normal lives free of ridicule. Did I think it was courageous for Jenner to go through this entire process in the media? Yes I do. Courage comes in many forms. Yes, courage is fighting for your country, sacrificing your life for the betterment of our nation. Yes, courage is standing up to cancer, fighting it head-on with an optimistic spirit. And yes, courage is spilling your guts out on national TV with a goal of changing the social climate in regards to how the trans community is viewed.
Have you ever held a secret inside for over six decades, eating at you, eating at the very core of who you are as a person? I have not, but I can imagine the toll it might take. As Caitlyn mentioned, she did consider suicide. For those of you calling her a "freakshow" and "disgusting", would it make your life better if Caitlyn were not on this earth? Would you be pleased with yourself?
I understand where people are coming from, thinking that for some reason this is all for publicity, for some show, or ratings. Any association with the Kardashian family will automatically paint you in that light. But this situation goes deeper. It's because of that spotlight that Caitlyn can reach so many people feeling hurt, alienated, and suicidal.
How can you, as a person, know someone went through 65 years of their life having to hide their true self, and be disgusted when they finally say enough is enough and live for themselves instead of what they think the world wants them to be? How can you not have a shred of empathy, and be happy for someone who is finally finding their own happiness and self-worth?
I knew the statistics were bad, but I had no idea how bad. As Caitlyn mentioned in her speech, 41% percent of trans people attempt suicide. Forty. One. Percent. Bullying is a central theme throughout most of the stories of LBGT youth taking their lives. Things need to change.
I understand we all have different opinions, and that's what makes the world go 'round. What a boring world it would be if we all agreed on everything, never had constructive debates that helped us grow. But when it comes to matters of hatred and discrimination, it's just too hard for me to not stand up, and add my opinion into the current heap.
So, Caitlyn ...you might take heat now as you mentioned in your speech, and there's a good chance you will be ridiculed for the rest of your life. But little by little, those who come after you will receive less and less abuse, becoming a more accepted part of society, and hopefully even celebrated. Whether people like you or not, you used your platform as a celebrity to make yourself completely vulnerable to the world. If your speech helped just one trans person from taking their life, it was all worth it. And if I ever have children, I will not shield them from the transgender community. I will teach them to love, embrace, and cherish the differences in people of this world. But above all, I will instill in them how important it is to wish happiness and a sense of inclusion onto others.
I guess the whole point of this post is to say that whoever you are, if you're a good person and wish no harm on to others, then you should be accepted and respected for who you are, no matter which gender you identify with or how you choose to express yourself. You are loved. You are beautiful. Be yourself.

Billie Eilish is only 15 years old, yet the elegance of her vocals could fool you.
Based in Los Angeles, Billie started to sing in a children's choir at the age of 8. She revealed that she sang so often, her family had to shush her; which led to song writing.
This might then surprise you to know that her hit "Ocean Eyes" was actually written by her brother, Finneas.
"He came into my room in October of last year to tell me he had this song called "Ocean Eyes." He'd been doing it with his band before, but of course I'd heard it because I was right next door. I sang it, and we both loved it. It's just a beautiful song, and Finneas is an amazing writer. I loved it and I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks." – Vogue
"Ocean Eyes" was originally created for a specific dance routine. The contemporary dance coming first and acting as inspiration to the music production. What a cool process! The song was uploaded online, and soon took on a life of it's own. Without any help from anyone, no label, no promo, no team.
"I was at Starbucks one time, and Finneas called, like, "Dude! Our song got 1,000 plays. We made it." We were just so over the moon about it getting 1,000 plays. We were like, that's it. We've reached our goal. We thought we were bosses. And then it just kept going. And then Hillydilly found it . . . I didn't realize how big it was getting until it had reached 50,000 plays. I haven't really processed it. It's just hard because it doesn't happen to everyone, and it's rare." – Vogue
2017 is a big year for Billie Eilish.
Just announced – she will be a major feature in Apple's Up Next Campaign. The spotlight is on this young teen with an exclusive interview and mini documentary which is available on Apple Music right now! Alongside, Billie also got to perform on The Late Late Show With James Corden with, "Ocean Eyes".
Her latest hit song "watch" has been doing amazing – watch the music video that goes along with it, if you haven't already!
Fresh off selling out her London O2 Academy show, she is also on route to headline her very first North American tour starting in October. Did we also mention, it's a sold out tour? Amazing!
Let us know in the comments below if you are attending one of her concert dates!

For the longest time, fictional people had better character arcs than I…
I try not to binge-watch, but I devoured Girlboss in the space to two nights, and it left me with thoughts about how characters grow… and how I've grown.
For a little while, I cut trailers, and that's an amazing trailer – technically full of 'spoilers', but who gives a damn. Plus, it typifies what this long ramble will go into…
In books / TV / movies etc, there's the idea that characters have an arc. They go on a journey, whether it be emotionally or literally, hit peaks and troughs, and return changed.
That's Joseph Campbell 101. Hero With a Thousand Faces boiled down into a sentence. I've lived my writing career by those words, but haven't really thought about how that parallels with my own life.
Actually, that's not true…
One time, on mushrooms (which is never how the best stories start…), I drew this insane map of my life. Choices and diversions, connections and interconnections, everything I did wrong and right. Mostly wrong. I've made a lot of mistakes.
If I recall correctly, it started in primary school with me not telling a girl I liked her.
Mushroom-me seemed to think that was my first shot at true love.
Mushroom-me is an idiot.
Then there were the gifts given to me by the fates when I was a teenager, meetings at the BBC and Channel 4 when I was still in high school. Lying about my age, getting to run around on sets and in studios, around Television Centre. I was offered jobs at BBC's sports division, Channel 4 News, and sacked them off because I wanted to go work in drama or comedy.
When I did start working in comedy, I wanted to pivot to drama. When I worked in drama I wanted to pivot back to comedy. Then I wanted to make music videos, then commercials, then drama again. I was all over the damn place, and it's no wonder that so many of my friends that were more focused (see again: Girlboss) are executives and producers and touring the world with their bands – and I'm sat here in the Fortress of SoLeetude.
On the surface, that sounds like I'm depressed about it all, doesn't it? Read that last paragraph back with a wry tone, and you'll get the intended vibe.
Side note:
I can't get depressed – one of the small fortunes of my crappy wiring, and bad code – closest I can get is bored with a hint of malaise, but I can't get, on a chemical level, get depressed.
What I realised, thinking back to all that, was that it was only last year when I began my journey through the Campbellian story circle. That is to say, by writing and publishing, that's when I became focused, and started (for all intents and purposes) on my character arc.
And that leads back to Girlboss, because the arc was so delightful and heartbreaking, Britt Robertson's performance so nuanced, (and the soundtrack so great – but that's a total aside,) that after the credits on the final episode rolled it got me mulling the parallels in how often I screwed up in all my various attempts to forge a path, a career, find love and so on.
Plus, she was playing a character so self-involved, so broken, it was hard not to see the similarities to be honest. Because for the longest time, I wasn't a great person.
Consumed by being brought up told I had a high IQ, that I could do anything I set my mind to, plus the realisation that my intellect is visual based – that if I see something, I can do it, essentially play it back and replicate perfectly – not to mention being praised constantly, not just through childhood, but through adolescence and into adult life. That all set me on the wrong path.
For one thing, it meant I got fired a lot.
I joke about it, but it's truer than you know. Executives will enjoy being told their wrong for only so long. And they certainly don't like some know-it-all kid telling them he can see the bigger and better picture, let alone that the secretions of his bowels have more creative thoughts than they do…
(That actually happened. Don't look at me like that.)
I self-sabotaged time and time again. I was sabotaged a few times too, but certainly fewer than the failings of my own making. But as much as I was self-aware of being a dick, of having this inflated ego, somehow I saw it as a perk – and for the longest time, new employers loved it… until they didn't.
Which leads us to the inciting incident.
Last year I still had one foot in the world of film, albeit for an ad agency. They had four freelancers on their books, but the others were neurotypicals who could only handle one job at a time – whereas I'm built to multitask.
At one point, I was working on 18 different commercials in one week.
They all went off without a hitch.
Old-me would be gesturing for a high five right about now.
The sabotage in that instance came from their side.
But it was exactly the thing I needed to kickstart a new, more enlightened me.
There was a panic as I stepped into the office. A client in peril. We had a week to make 15″ spots for 22 sets of shoes for a mid-level brand, who didn't want to spend more than $50k on their campaign, and I convinced them back-to-back micro shoots over the course of three days was the most efficient use of their money. Plus, I threw in a photographer for print ads in to sweeten the pot.
I was right, obviously.
That version of me was always right…
So I produced the shoot, got the models, the studio and locations, the photographer, the art director and so on all lined up. I took the reigns on the video side to save them $10k on hiring in a director and director of photography and camera gear and lighting – because I have all those skills and things.
(Like I said, I learn by watching, and I've been on hundred upon hundreds of shoots of all budgets, and have all this useless know-how-to-shoot-things-pretty information bouncing around my skull.)
The shoot was perfect. We got done early. I saved the client an additional $10k, which the ad agency swallowed up, because that's what they're made to do. Advertising / Creative / Digital agencies are created by non-creative people to devour money via the creative gifts of others.
It was one day before the launch.
I was at some awards show in London when I got the call.
The account manager was panicking.
We had shot the wrong shoes.
Not only had the brand sent us the wrong shoes – the account manager hadn't noticed they all had labels on them, and the labels displayed the correct names – it could have all been avoided.
It wasn't my screw up, so I told them as such and laughed in their face.
And was promptly blacklisted from their books.
Not that I realised I was blacklisted at the time – it took a couple of months with no calls from them, one of the friends at the agency blocking me on social media at the behest of her boss, and the other freelancers suddenly taking over the jobs I had set up at massive brands – then I finally cottoned on.
(He was smart, but in some ways, he was also an idiot…)
Should have been upset, right?
Slightly miffed?
And yet I was oddly serene about the whole thing. I mean, I'm generally serene, got a damn smile etched on my lips, in what my sister calls "Resting Beach Face", because my natural expression is me looking so cockily chill.
But something had changed with this latest iteration of being kicked to the curb.
My ego had, somehow, been shed in the process.
I didn't realise it at the time, of course.
Because when you get an egodectomy, you suddenly become a hell of a lot self aware.
It was when the first 'fan' emails started coming in that it began to dawn.
(Note: old-me would have never been hesitant, let alone humble enough to encapsulate 'fan' in apostrophes. But I am truly anxious about using the word…)
And then reviews started popping up, almost all four and five stars.
Old me would have scoffed and gone "Well, obviously it deserves five stars". But I was literally in tears, grateful and overwhelmed that people liked what I had been doing. Hell, I started getting chills when I got a review – an experience I've wryly blogged about previously.
That all came with the shedding of the ego.
I don't 'know' I'm good – let alone the best – at what I do any more.
And that's the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
I get genuinely surprised at the narrative twists and turns that I come up with. The character moments all mean so much more, I'm actually connected to them, because there isn't a wall of artifice and arrogance between me and them. Dare I say it (and this is obviously counter-intuitive given what I'm trying to express), but my writing has become better for losing the cocky overconfidence that has marred decades of my life. There's an honesty to it, at least behind the scenes, that I wouldn't have been able to find before.
So when I say how grateful I am to have you guys on board, to have you as readers, some as new friends, all as fellow adventurers on this literary odyssey… I hope now you understand that this comes from a place of genuine humility.
It's more than obvious that this doesn't come off in writing – friends that knew who I was, rather than who I am, think I'm just the same old egotistical jackass. I thanked everyone who nominated Touch Sensitive when got it published with Kindle Press, and meant every word. But when I see people they still ask me "So, did you mean that… or are you just being a condescending prick?"
And I mean it.
Because I've finally experienced the inciting incident that turns my world on its head.
After so many false starts, a myriad refusals of the call, a plethora of meetings with goddesses, my arc has finally begun.
And it's only taken 30-some years… So much for that intellect the other guy lauded so much, huh?

Bought this phone last weekend. I am less than pleased. The screen is way too bright, there seems to be no way to reduce the brightness. The T9 typing-assist intelligence seems to be inferior to my ancient Panasonic GD35 phone. The phone gives a couple of vibration alerts whenever it is switched on, doesnt seem to be a way to turn off that either. Also, it doesn't seem to have any facility to automatically switch off and switch on at preset times.
If I am mistaken about these and there indeed is a way to do these settings, could someone kindly let me know the same?

Almost Famous Women: Stories by Megan Mayhew Bergman EPUB
The fascinating lives of the characters in Almost Famous Women have mostly been forgotten, but their stories are burning to be told. Nearly every story in this dazzling collection is based on a woman who attained some celebrity - she raced speed boats or was a conjoined twin in show business; a reclusive painter of renown; a member of the first all-female, integrated swing band. We see Lord Byron's illegitimate daughter, Allegra; Oscar Wilde's troubled niece, Dolly; West with the Night author Beryl Markham; Edna St. Vincent Millay's sister, Norma. These extraordinary stories travel the world, explore the past (and delve into the future), and portray fiercely independent women defined by their acts of bravery, creative impulses, and sometimes reckless decisions.

Leigh owner Derek Beaumont has been fined £2,000 and warned about his future conduct after he claimed referees were making Super League "a joke shop".
Beaumont took the unusual step of taking the post-match press conference following the Centurions' 38-0 home defeat by Castleford in May to express his anger over the performance of referee Chris Kendall and match officials in general.
"You talk to every owner and coach and they can't say anything because they're scared of getting fined," he said. "I don't care about getting fined, I really genuinely don't.
"We need to stand up as a sport and talk about it because it's making our game look like a laughing stock. It's a joke shop. It's incompetent and it's not good enough."
The Rugby Football League says Beaumont was found guilty of improper conduct and has 14 days in which to submit an appeal

Just a quickie
Saturday, June 28, 2008
Take it easy.
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Whole lotta nothin'
This past weekend was unstructered. I'm not productive if I don't have a plan. I did manage to get in an 8 mile run and a 25 mile ride (the "Triple Bypass"). We also went to see a movie. Chris started his diet on Friday and has not cheated. However, he did say that he wanted to bury his face in my bag of popcorn at the movie. I, in respect, wanted to hook myself up to an IV with his diet soda. People look at us really weird when they see me sniffing his drink and see him sniffing what's on my plate. But hey, it works for us!
This week has gone by really fast and I barely got any training for myself in. Amy, who owns the Wellness Studio, has been out of town and I am subbing with some of her clients. I've also been pretty low energy this week, so I just had to stop being frustrated that I haven't worked out. Well, I pretty much work out everyday with clients, but unfortunately I don't feel like I've worked out. Not the way I need or want to. I'm probably feeling the effects of Kansas and I needed some downtime anyway. I'm just trying not to beat myself up over it. Don't want to over train; I wouldn't be able to do anything for awhile. I need to just be in chill mode with my friend Sarah. Just need to go with the flow...
Thursday, June 19, 2008
Back to life...
The next venture is to attempt the 1/2 Ironman in Arkadelphia. I promised myself and Chris that I would do that one if I didn't finish or get to finish the one in Kansas. So training starts for that next week. I feel like I know what I need to do to be ready for it this time. But different course + different weather conditions = huge difference. I've already ridden the bike course for it. All chip and seal and pot holes. Quite frankly, it scares the hell outta me, but I'm going to do it and I'm going to finish!
So here we are, back to life in real time. How fortunate I am that it's a good life! I have a wonderful husband, great family and circle of friends, precious little furballs, I'm healthy, want for nothing and I love what I do for a living...Life Is Good!

What a time we had!
I sort of wrote about the drive here a couple of days ago, so I'll skip that part. It was pretty boring anyway. We like the hotel we are staying in, it's not like any place we've ever stayed. It's small and stinks with atmosphere. The walls are sort of stucco and they have those bronze looking statues everywhere. The staff is really relaxed and laid back, but extremely helpful. I recommend this place (Senate Luxury Suites) if you end up in Topeka, Kansas.
I may not get to put that 70.3 sticker on my back windshield right now, but I hope to by the end of the year. I will however wear the finisher's shirt and my hat I bought.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

A consultant is set to be paid $130,000 to fix Glendale's broken water rates following City Council's approval this week. That's on top of about $50,000 the city already paid Berkeley-based Bartle Wells for an initial analysis of the miscalculated rates.
The new contract with Bartle Wells was necessary because the consultant has to completely scrap the former water rates, which had numerous errors, and conduct a new cost-of-service analysis, said Steve Zurn, director of Glendale Water & Power, during a council meeting Tuesday.
"The bottom line is we've had to redo the whole process," he said.
The flawed rates, which were approved by the City Council in 2012, caused Glendale to overcharge some commercial customers and undercharge some residential customers, resulting in a roughly $9 million loss in expected revenue to date.

By Stephan Lechel, Porsche Consulting and speaker at the European Label Forum 2017
Digital change preoccupies companies in every industry. In the packaging industry, however, digitalisation is especially visible. Many consumers deal with packaged food and cosmetics every day and virtually every industrial company uses labels and packaged material in production. With digital technology this packaging is being transformed. Its function is expanded so that instead of just a protective cover when transporting goods, more and more packaging is providing intelligent and customised add-ons to the packaged product.
But not only the packaging itself is becoming more digital. Planning, control and manufacturing processes are also evolving with the aid of digital technology.
Porsche Consulting has investigated what progress has been made when it comes to Industry 4.0 for packaging companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their aim was to obtain answers to the following key questions.
- Where does the packaging industry stand with their knowledge of the current change? Do companies have the required skills?
- To what extent do companies employ a digitalisation strategy and how do they evaluate its benefits?
- How innovative are packaging manufacturers and how are they developing their business models?
- Where do packaging companies use digital technology today already and where will they invest in future?
- Everything that can be digitalised will be digitalised – a lot is already feasible today.
- Customer benefits and needs will determine success, not the technology.
- The development of skills and early positioning in the market are crucial for above average growth.
- A limiting factor is willingness to change, not the technology.

Sacramento Bee
Feb 05, 2004 - 01:00 AM
by Bee Editorial Staff
Editorial: Truly unmitigated
Schwarzenegger, alas, puts Davis to shameThere is something truly majestic about Arnold Schwarzenegger's gall.
This is the guy who ran for governor saying that he was not like Gov. Gray Davis and promising that he was beyond the reach of special interests.
Now, less than three months into his first term as governor, he has come up with a campaign fund-raising scheme that is so slimy it makes Davis' efforts seem downright wholesome.
Schwarzenegger plans to hold a dinner in New York later this month. The guests will be leaders of the nation's biggest financial institutions. For $50,000 each, they will get to chow down with the governor. (Real players are being encouraged to buy a table for 10, which works out to $500,000. Apparently, volume discounts do not apply.)
Schwarzenegger will use that money to bankroll his campaign to pass a $15 billion bond issue. If voters approve the bonds, the same financial moguls who put up the money will stand to profit handsomely from the bond sales.
If Davis had tried such a stunt, he would have been run out of Sacramento even sooner than he was. Schwarzenegger apparently assumes he can get away with it.
Maybe he can. He's a man with an impressive ability to create his own reality and make others live in it with him.
He loses a court case, then praises the judge's decision as "fantastic." He shamelessly refers to his proposal as "debt reduction bonds," as if it's possible to borrow your way out of debt. He promotes physical fitness through a haze of cigar smoke.
Now, he wants Californians to believe not only that borrowing $15 billion is a good way to get out of debt, but also that it's OK to finance the campaign by shaking down those who will profit from the deal.
If Governor Gall can get away with that, he can get away with anything.

Yesterday we went to Cornwall for the day, first we visited Flambards where Ben and Charlotte had a great time on the rides. This is the balloon thet they went up in,they loved it
After spending time on the rides we went to see the Britain in the Blitz experience it felt so real and it made you realize what terrible times our people lived through in those days.
From there we went on to the Victoria Village which again is so realistic you can really get the feel of what it was like. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was glad we went although we didn't get to see it all as our main visit was to go to the beach at Marazion to go across the causeway to St Michaels Mount. When we got there the tide was in too far and by the time it was fully out it had started to rain so we decided against it just incase it worsened. It gives us an excuse to visit again soon.
It was very nostalgic for me as I was born in Marazion and spent all my summers on the beach or across the Mount, my Mother used to work for Lord St Leven who owned the Mount before he handed it over to the National trust. I remember going to the church on St Michaels Mount as a young girl and realising that my pew lifted up, after the service Lord St Leven lifted the seat up to reveal stone steps leading to a dungeon were there were large skeleton bones suppose to have been belonging to the Giant that lived there many years before. I also collected old pennies from holiday makers and laid them along the causeway from the Mount to the beach for the red cross. I remember having a wonderful childhood at Marazion, it was so good to be there yesterday.
These are some of the photos I took of Grandad playing with Ben and Charlotte.
We all had a great time.
When we left Marazion we went to Helston to our favourite fish and chip shop and had some of their lovely fresh cod mmm it was delicious. Then back home all tired and happy.

KARYN REEVES of A PENGUIN A WEEK
Karyn Reeves has an astounding collection of vintage Penguin paperbacks. Even more astounding is that she manages to read a different one every week, and write a long & thoughtful review of each just-read book on her blog (with three young kids at home while she finishes a PhD). Reeves got her start years ago by not knowing what to read, but finding that "old books with orange spines were not only very cheap, but also invariably interesting, and so you could buy titles at random and be guaranteed of discovering something worth reading", and those old orange books have proven themselves ever since. She's in the midst of winter in her native Australia, but Karyn was nice enough to send a summer reading list of books from her recent reading that "really stand out as deserving to be better known". (She even sent along a favorite non-Penguin, The Magus). But this list is a drop in the very deep bucket of what Karyn could recommend, as perusing her blog for even a few moments (I get lost for hours) will show.
Are you more of a cover junkie than a book-a-week reader? No problem.

U.S. Needs Russia's Help with Iran
The United States has claimed to "reset" its relationship with Russia but it will test its former Cold War nemesis in asking for help when dealing with Iran. In signing an updated nuclear non-proliferation agreement, the two powerhouse nations are leading the effort in nuclear disarmament, but the U.S. is hoping for a united front with respect to Iran sanctions. President Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev will sit down for a bilateral meeting prior to the treaty signing in which the main topic of discussion will be Iran.
Moscow has a long-standing diplomatic and trade relationship with Tehran and has been reluctant to sign onto any sanctions. Earlier this week, Sergei Rakkov, Russia's chief negotiator on Iran nuclear talks, told the Interfax news agency "we still have not lost hope for a solution to the Iranian nuclear problem through dialogue with Iran."
Iran has adamantly denied it is developing nuclear weapons and insists its nuclear enrichment program is for civilian use only. The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – Russia, Britain, China, France and the United States – plus Germany have been involved in constant talks to try and end a nuclear standoff. While China has been the most hesitant member of the P5+1 group, experts believe that Washington needs to negotiate Iran sanctions, first with Russia and secondly with China. Andrew Kuchins of the Center for Strategic and International Studies says "the hope has always been that you get the Russians and that'll help to bring the Chinese along."
The Obama administration has long proposed acting against Iran as a "unified international community" but strong sanctions have yet to be put in place against the country and President Obama admits not all countries are on board with sanctions. Last Thursday, President Obama called Chinese President Hu-Jintao telling him their two countries needed to work together "to ensure that Iran lives up to its international obligations."
Both Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Chinese President Hu-Jintao will be in Washington next week for President Obama's nuclear summit.

Everything's Okay. // AEP ALUMNI SHARING AND PANEL DISCUSSION
Invited alumni Andre Wee (Designer/Illustrator), Guo Yixiu ( Artist/Art Educator) and Faith Ng (Scriptwriter) come together to share their individual trajectories since graduating from the Art Elective Programme.
Our local creatives will be sharing their thoughts and insights on how the AEP has shaped their paths and impacted their practice.
Join us, over light refreshments, in the AEP alumni sharing and panel discussion.
Andre Wee
Andre Wee is a Visual Designer, Illustrator and Fine Artist. He graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Arts from The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and is currently based out of Singapore. His works have been featured online, in print and exhibited internationally. Apart from drawing, painting and 3D modelling, Andre used to be a fencer and a military paratrooper before college. He hopes to get back to his hobbies of swinging swords and jumping planes when time finally permits.
Guo Yixiu
Guo is obsessive over the consumerist systems of Singapore, where she finds intricate links towards its history and culture. She sees her own artistic goal as a contemplation towards the unnerving consumerist oriented society of Singapore. She debates the unnatural quality of this, as it infringes and seeps itself into one's everyday life. Her works, where 'form/media' becomes secondary, stand as statements to present-day Singapore. Thus far, they have existed as photographic composites, paintings and sculptural forms/installations. Often putting on a humorous front, and establishing themselves as objects of 'play', the works often embody difficult truths within them.
Faith Ng
Faith Ng is a playwright and an Associate Artist with Checkpoint Theatre. Her plays include 'wo(men)' (2010), 'For Better or for Worse' (2013) and 'Normal' (2015). The first two have been nominated for Best Original Script at the Life! Theatre Awards. She holds a Master of Arts with Distinction in Creative Writing (Scriptwriting) from the University of East Anglia, under the National Arts Council Postgraduate Scholarship. She also teaches playwriting at the National University of Singapore and was the writer-in-residence for the Singapore Creative Writing Residency 2014.
Sarah Choo Jing (Moderator)
Sarah Choo Jing (b. 1990, Singapore) is known for her interdisciplinary approach to photography, video and installation. Her work depicts identifiable moments and characters within contemporary urban society suggesting a plethora of private and often solitary narratives. The artist is concerned with the gaze of the flaneur, voyeurism and the uncanny.
Choo lives and works in Singapore. She recently completed her MFA at the Slade School of Art in London last summer 2015. Choo has clinched the Gold Award in the 2016 PX3 Prix de la Photographie, Fine Art Category and been awarded First Place in the 2015 Moscow International Foto Awards. She was shortlisted as a Finalist in the Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2014 and was awarded the ICON De Martell Cordon Bleu Photography Award and Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Still Photography Award in 2013.
The artist has since exhibited internationally at The Busan Museum of Art in Korea, the Daegu Photo Biennale in Korea, ArtParis at The Grand Palais in Paris, the START Art Fair at The Saatchi Gallery in London, Photo London 2015 at The Somerset House in London, and The Santa Fe International New Media Festival in New Mexico, USA. Her works are collected by both private individuals and public institutions; including the Singapore Art Museum, National Museum of Singapore and The Arts Club Permanent Art Collection in London.

Katy Perry Tops "Celebrity Hall Pass List"
Sarah Palin's husband to file for divorce after biography scandal
According to The National Inquirer, Sarah Palin's husband, Todd Palin wants to file for divorce after reading in Joe McGinness' unauthorized biography In The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, that his brother-in-law Chuckie thought they their marriage was over a long time ago.
So let me get this straight. You learn that your wife a) has a love for the black penis, b) betrays the Republican ideals (because of the said love for the black penis) c) snorts coke off a 55-gallon oil drum (wait that was with you so it doesn't count) d) has sex and smokes pot with her college professor presumably on a 55-gallon oil drum, e) has sex with one of your snowmobile partners this time presumably on a snowmobile f)pulls the "oops, i'm pregnant" stunt so you don't divorce her when you find out….and you want a divorce because Chuckie thinks bad of your marriage?? Help me out here. Am i the only one who thinks Todd has it all wrong? Or maybe he was hit in the head with a drum of crude way too many times and can't think straight anymore: "Sarah, i just learned that you had sex with my partner, is that true?" *hits him on the head with the drum* "wow, you made penguine roast, my favorite, you're the best!!"
Donald Trump Explains His Un-American Method of Eating Pizza
Donald Trump took some heat from The Daily Show last night (and others) for stacking his two slices of pizza and eating them with a fork and knife on a recent jaunt to a Broadway chain restaurant with the Palin family. This provided a perfect opening for Trump to issue a public explanation and keep the controversy aflame for another few hours.
Trump is a master at re-framing stupid questions about his personal habits with dodgy responses that require simpler follow-ups. In the clip below, live from The Desk of Donald Trump, he carefully responds to the question of why he ate his pizza with a plastic knife and fork. His answer? He doesn't carry his own knife and fork with him! See what he did there?
Also, knives and forks allow him to separate "the top" of the pizza from the crust, which is helpful, because eating the crust would make him a fatty.
Trump, your attempt to clear your un-american-pizza-eating name has failed, humans are capable of eating pizza with their own hands and then stopping when they reach the crust. There are no secret magnets in the crust that require your mouth to eat it when it comes within a centimeter.
OH NO HE DIDN'T! Tracy Morgan Says Something About Sarah Palin
When you put Tracy Morgan live on TNT, shit explodes. That's exactly what happened yesterday when NBA on TNT's Kenny Smith thought he was in for some lighthearted comedic banter with Tracy Morgan and Charles Barkley when he asked the 30 Rock star, "Tina Fey or Sarah Palin?" What he got instead was Morgan telling him this:
Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, man, she's good masturbation material. Glasses and all that. Great masturbation material.
Not just good Tracy my man, but great masturbation material.
It was kind a "let's-let-the-comedian-make-a-funny" question in the first place. So Tracy just decided to turn it around and violate them with it.TNT, of course, has already apologized, though I don't know why since now they have a great new idea for a TV show. Crossing the Line with Charles Barkley & Tracy Morgan. That would be a talk show I would DVR religiously. For the two weeks before they both get shit-canned.
As far as Palin is concerned, she now has a great new Presidential campaign slogan.
Sarah & Bristol Palin: "We're Glad We Chose Life"
Bristol Palin was faced with an unplanned pregnancy at the young age of 18. After giving birth to her son Tripp in December 2008 — and broke up with her boyfriend, Levi Johnston — the reality of single motherhood quickly set in.
I remember sitting on a black recliner, just bawling my eyes out," Bristol tells In Touch. "I was just rocking Tripp to sleep because he had been screaming for so long. I was just like, 'What am I going to do? This is as bad as it gets.'"
Though raising an infant has been challenging, Bristol has the unconditional love and support of her family, including her mother Sarah Palin. Just a year earlier at the age of 44, Sarah carried her son Trig to term, even though she was told during a sonogram that he would be born with Down syndrome.
The mother-daughter duo are sharing their unique experiences of raising baby boys together under the same roof. "The last few years have been unreal and surreal," Sarah says.
For the full exclusive check out this week's issue of In Touch, on newsstands Friday.
David Letterman apologizes for 'knocked up' joke
David Letterman rendered an apology for making a sexually-charged joke last Tuesday that Sarah Palin's daughter got "knocked up" by New York Yankee slugger A-Rod during their recent trip to New York.
The funnyman apologized during Monday's taping of "Late Night with David Letterman" as a group of Palin supporters planned a Tuesday protest outside the show's studio at the Ed Sullivan theater in New York's Times Square. Here's Letterman's apology (according to a transcript obtained by Reuters).
I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception of the joke by viewers. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault.
I would like to apologize especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the Governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future.

|Elder Gygi is the "son" of Elder Huefner
Yesterday was Argentinian Mother's Day, so mom ¡Felis Día de la Madre!
No one here can say my name correctly, so I do not even bother trying to correct anyone. They all call me Elder She-She, pronounced with a slurred g.
My companion Elder Huefner got really sick this week, we think it is because he drank some tap water. He is doing much better now though.
My bike keeps breaking haha so I keep having to go get it fixed. But that gives me an opportunity to work on my Spanish and learn how to use pesos! They have really good candy here. There are ones called Alfajores, They are like 2 crumbly cookies with Dulce de Leche in between them then covered in chocolate. I don´t know if you can find them in the states, maybe on amazon or something.
Like I said last week, we are in the area of Francisco Alvarez, which is about 30 minutes from Luján. There is branch here at about 60-70 members. They are very nice. We do have a small church building here. It is surrounded by a tall gate and has bars on all the windows. Every house has barred windows here.
I had a much better week this week. I am not as homesick as I was. I´m sacrificing my time to help bring others to Christ. I have felt the joy of the gospel in my life and now i ave the responsibility to share it with others.

Collegiate Sports Myths/
With winter sports in full swing, many parents find themselves at school or club sporting events cheering for their student athlete and their teammates. Sports, for many students and families, have become part of the routine and a way of life. School and sports seem synonymous. While college sports is a unique and incredible experience, it is not a sure thing. Many high school athletes hope to continue playing sports in college. Unfortunately, parents and students alike should be well aware of the myths associated with collegiate athletics. Questions abound for parents and students ... am I good enough, can I get money to play and how much (full ride?), etc. Let's examine some of the bigger myths associated with the pursuit of collegiate athletics.
Many students and parents wonder if there is an opportunity to play sports in college. We want to tackle eight myths as it relates to collegiate athletics and provide some guidelines for students interested in possibly continuing their athletic career at the collegiate level.
MYTH #1: My student is going to get a Division I (or Div. II) Scholarship
For Division I and II athletes, there are only 138,000 scholarships available for all athletes. The competition for these awards is fierce and the recruitment process is no different. Typically, these athletes are being recruited before their junior year and many college coaches are making contact with the athletes as soon as they are permitted by the NCAA.
MYTH #2: The Full Ride Myth
Many parents and students believe they are going to receive a full-ride scholarship to a university to play their respective sport. Unfortunately, only four (4) sports typically pick up the full cost of college…Men's Football, Men and Women's Basketball, and Women's Volleyball. Most scholarships received by students typically only cover a small percentage or portion of tuition and fees. Athletes, in many cases, will receive a 25% or 45% scholarship vs. the 100% offer they are hoping to receive.
MYTH #3: Scholarships are all Full Rides
Because each sport has a limited number of scholarships to provide athletes in its respective program, most scholarships are partials – Division I and II scholarships are controlled and limited by the NCAA. As such, collegiate coaches take the allotted scholarships and try to divide them up between as many athletes as possible to increase the number of interested players by giving less money to a larger pool of players.
MYTH #4: Scholarships are four years
Athletes and parents mistakenly believe that if they receive an athletic scholarship, it means they will have it for all four years. Most college scholarships are renewable each year at the coach's discretion. The coach may not renew them and unfortunately, they can be lost altogether due to injury. A coach can also increase the percentage of scholarship money for an athlete that performs well as they get older, i.e. an increase from say 25% as a freshman to 65% (or more) by the time they become a senior.
MYTH #5: Colleges will come after me
Many students mistakenly believe college coaches will pursue them. Typically, the bona fide Division I or II recruit is recruited heavily, while others will be recruited, but within the smaller Division III and NAIA sports athletic budget which is obviously much smaller. Students that want to play in college must learn to market themselves as best they can. Their pursuit of playing for a school or program must be viewed like a job interview. The student needs to research the program and coach and let them know why they want to play for their program and that coach in particular.
MYTH #6: Grades don't matter
Grades do matter. Coaches want to know they do not have to worry about eligibility concerns for the athletes they recruit. Also, know that if a college coach has the choice between a good student and a poor one, they will take the good student. Again, less to worry about with eligibility. With the smaller schools who focus more on academics, coaches can help with getting the students more academic money to entice them to come to the school.
MYTH #7: My student is not good enough
If your student is a strong athlete in HS, opportunities are available for college. Students and parents make the mistake of assuming because their son or daughter does not start for their high school team, they cannot possibly play in college. If they are on a state caliber high school team, they may still be able to play at a smaller school in college. Smaller colleges are always looking for students that are good athletes and love playing the sport to come to their school to be part of the program. If your student is a good athlete, opportunities are available. Opportunities have become much more prevalent over the years for female athletes because of Title IX. Since its passage in 1972, Title IX has fueled the growth in college athletic programs and opportunities for female student athletes. Title IX requires institutions receiving federal funding to provide equitable resources and opportunities for women in a non-discriminatory way.
MYTH #8: Division III and NAIA do not give money
Large amounts of merit money for academics are available at smaller schools in addition to athletic money in particular divisions. Because of large endowment funds, the combination of these scholarships and grants can make these schools more affordable than some of their bigger counterparts who are believed to give athletic scholarships. Be sure to do your homework and evaluate all offers. Many athletes want the prestige of playing for the Division I (or even Division II) school and they shun the smaller schools only to find out there is little interest from the bigger schools. When the student athlete tries to go back to the smaller schools, they unfortunately burned that bridge. As a student athlete, be sure to keep all options open as possibilities until you have made a decision.
Athletic scholarships are competitive, but opportunities are there if you are willing and can go where they are located. There is no reason a good student athlete who wants to consider continuing their athletic career in college cannot find a school that might be able to accommodate them. Obviously, schools must have your major and career choice, etc. However, athletic scholarships can be a great additional way of reducing the out of pocket expense associated with the ever increasing rise in college costs.
And despite the fact collegiate opportunities are out there, never lose sight of the fact that a student's academic choices and ultimate career choice is always at the forefront because…
EWS is in the business of helping families through the major life transition of sending their children to college. For many, it will be the most expensive time of their lives and, if not handled properly, could cost them their retirement. If you or someone you know needs the help and guidance of a trained financial professional, don't hesitate to contact us. Remember, you shouldn't have to choose between your child's college and your retirement.

EY: Global Information Security Survey 2013
Organizations must be prepared to combat against, manage and mitigate cyber attacks that can occur anytime, anywhere, Says EY.
EY's 16th annual global information security survey explores the actions organizations have taken to address current threats, how leading organizations are preparing for cyber risks that may be on the horizon, and how new technologies and an innovative approach can help organizations proactively prepare for the future.
EY found three levels of response to cyber risk in an environment where cyber attacks are numerous, constant and increasingly complex:
- Improve — What organizations are doing to address the current threats and the challenges that still exist
- Expand — Steps leading organizations are taking to address new threats more proactively
- Innovate — Solutions organizations need to address new and upcoming technologies

Yesterday morning I was pottering around the house. I stopped and took a look at the two big kids and My Mr, they were all in front of screens of some form, (Miss Evie was busy doing her thing outside) ..... mmmm......
I thought for a moment and declared to them all "today I am going to set you all a challenge!".
The look on their faces was priceless.
The challenge I told them, was everyone had to make something.
It could be anything as long as it was appropriate to their skill level and ability, any required materials, ingredients, etc had to be already in the home/shed.
I left them all to think while I continued to potter about with my chores and decide what I was going to choose off my mental "to-make" list.
Finally their decisions were made, I must say that I enjoyed watching the hive of activity as my challenge was taken up and carried out with success.
Here are the results:
My Mr made delicious pizzas (from scratch) for lunch.
I made a phone pouch with some of my new vintage sheet FQ's.
Miss Abbey made a photo book, chose and placed some photos within.
Mr's son made a planter box using scraps of wood from the back of the shed.
And Miss Evie made this beautiful mess!
2 cups plain flour (Mr used wholemeal)
1 heaped teaspoon of dried yeast
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3/4 cup of warm water
* place all dry ingredients into a large bowl, mix well.
add oil then water.
mix to form a soft dough.
knead well on a floured surface until smooth and pliable (approx 10 mins).
place dough back into the bowl, cover and leave in a warm spot for approx. 30 mins or until it has doubled in size.
remove the dough from the bowl and gently knead for 1 minute.
roll out to desired thickness and size.
add your favourite toppings.
cook in a hot oven.
*this makes approx 4-5 small pizza bases.
instructions for phone pouch found here.

Okay, I was given a picture in bitmap format and a very brief explanation on seekp and seekg. And was told to write a program. I am supposed to make overwrite the image as its own negative and output in binary.
I don't know where to even start, I know basic file operations for text files, but this is a bit out of my league. Can I get a logical guide please, or an explanation to get me started? On the following list I astericked what I sorta have coded until know and might be doing correctly.
Ask the user for an input file name *
read the input file, *
determine the file size *
determine the offset (where the pixels start) *
determine the width of pixels
determine the height of pixels
For each scan line, for each pixel in that line, read the pixel (the red, green, and blue values) and convert it to its negative and replace the original pixel
1. is easy.
2. I know I have to loop, but don't know how to get my numbers for the loop. should I open file in binary mode?
3. I am supposing that with sizeof() I can do it.
4. Supposing that with ios::beg I can figure that out.
7. using seek I just have to get and put 255 - color
Help please.

What These Men Did Takes Manliness To An Unbelievable Level. Seriously, WOW.
I've always considered myself to be a "manly" man. Whether by playing sports in high school, drinking cheap beer in college, or killing the occasional spider for a damsel in distress. So you can only imagine how upset I was after reading about these Men. They're the most badass I've ever seen. Is it too late to learn to like them? Check them out and find out for yourself.
Did you see that one about the severed testicle?! The last thing I'd be thinking about while my manhood hangs in the balance is getting back into the game with that "injury." Oh well. Maybe I won't be as manly as these guys, but at least no spiders roam free in my house 😉 (H/T: eBaum's World)

Born on a porch in Georgia and later developed in bars and clubs in New York City, The Moth is a globally recognized organization built around "true stories, told live and without notes." Encompassing StorySlam events hosted in 26 cities, a radio show aired by 450 radio and a podcast downloaded by 700,000 weekly listeners, The Moth celebrates "the ability of stories to honor both the diversity and commonality of human experience, and to satisfy a vital human need for connection." Likened to "a community where entertainment and enlightenment merge," The Moth Mainstage takes shape in curated events that unite five storytellers often exploring a common theme. Hosted by San Antonio native David Crabb (a Morrissey fan whose memoir Bad Kid details his experiences growing up goth and gay in Texas), The Moth Mainstage returns to the Alamo City for a San Antonio Book Festival event featuring presentations by Bronx-born artist, jewelry designer and writer Phyllis Marie Bowdwin (aka the Bronx Pickle), interior designer, life coach, actress and singer Ana Del Castillo, author, performer and longtime New Yorker contributor Adam Gopnik, memoirist, world traveler and Corpus Christi native Stephanie Elizondo Griest and playwright, radio host and raconteur Warren Holleman.

There was this sweet little boy at the Special School in Kenya. His name was Dennis. He was always smiling and he had the kindest eyes. He was tiny, like most of the kids there, partially from lack of a nutritious diet and partially from his physical impairment. I didn't really connect with Dennis until one afternoon when I helped a few other volunteers bathe, clean, and clothe a few of the children after the house moms had run out of diapers.
Dennis is currently my background on my desktop along with another girl (just as sweet as Dennis) named Sharon. I look at them every time I open my computer but for some reason, last night, I had a wave of words flood through my fingertips as I looked into Dennis' sweet, virtual eyes. The following poem is what was released.
When I look at the picture of his face I know he wanted to say so much to me that day,
To just drop down and thank me.
His smile said only half of what his eyes screamed,
"Thank you,
For picking me up after you already ridden seven other kids of their grime,
For noticing me in the back room,
Laying in filth.
You were snooping but it's okay because I'll admit…
I peed myself.
And I'm sorry you had to see me that way but it's only because the School Head won't take the diapers out of storage in fear the room will remain empty for far too long until another donation.
She means well.
But, thank you.
For holding me when they are forced to care for far too many.
You saved me.
From my own puddle of upset stomach
Even though you couldn't stomach the smell of neglect on my urine soaked skin right before your lunch break.
I know if affected your entire mindset.
Don't regret seeing me.
Or being here.
We need you here.
Hear my out when my words can't be shouted.
I'll smile bigger so you know
That I do understand and I am thankful.
Even though I've had no chance here
Hear me out…
I would shout thank you loud enough for lions to fear me if my words weren't trapped behind these eyes.
I don't know how to thank you."
I know his eyes held more than dry tears the day I saved him
From one wet, dingy, Special School bunk bed.
I saved him,
From a lonely night left alone with no one to save him.
His fragile arms would then reach for me daily.
They would spread open in hopes that I would hold him again and cleanse his body of Kenyan sand.
His hugs saved me
From feeling tortured by his past.
And his present.
And his future.
His smile saved me
From fallen tears blinked down my cheeks.
His picture of my desktop saves me
From forgetting the feeling of passion I felt for the very first time as I denied lunch because I couldn't stand the thought of enjoying a meal after such an unenjoyable sight.
