It's one thing to criticize the President (although some coming from the far right, like the "birthers" movement for instance, are real nutcase claims), but to include our nation's school kids into the mix of their radicalism goes too far.
This morning's speech by President Obama to the nation's public schoolchildren should be viewed as backup for what all good parents tell their kids. Speaking to grades Kindergarten through 12th via video link, on what is the first day of school this year for many, Obama told them to stay in school, turn off the t.v. or video games, and do their homework.
Obama emphasized the link between education and getting a good job. He talked about the importance of learning to fulfill goals.
Relating from his own personal experience, President Obama told kids not to give up no matter what the challenge from environment, friends, or anything else. "Every single one of you has something that you're good at," he told the students, encouraging them that education is vital to fulfilling what they want to do in life.
He encouraged the students, throughout the speech, to focus on what they want to achieve in life and not to give up because of obstacles. He explained that kids who don't get a good grade, for instance, are not failures but just need to study more to achieve their goals in life.
He encouraged goal planning and introspection on what every student could do to contribute to help make the world a better place by bettering themselves.
Good advice, most of us would agree. All of us except at least one critic.
Appearing on MSNBC this morning shortly after the President's speech, this guy cited supposed Texas law which says it's "illegal" to ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. According to this nut job, teachers and educators cannot discuss goal planning with their students nor ask them questions on what they want to become as adults or what they want to achieve.
How outrageous! It's pathetic that the far right would go so far to try and stop our nation's kids from learning how to plan for their future. There seems to be no end to the radical-right's Obama-hating tactics!

The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) is set to collaborate with African colleagues to find a solution to the sustainable construction during the Hannover Messe in Germany from 23 – 27 April 2018
BAM scientists are investigating to what extent vegetable substances could be used instead of chemical or mineral additives in concrete. The main focus of the research is on residues from agriculture.
Concrete production requires a lot of energy and produces large amounts of climate-damaging carbon dioxide because cement clinker must be burned at very high temperatures and the chemical reaction is accompanied by high carbon emissions.
Cement clinker used as a binder in concrete is an essential component of cement. Therefore, the reduction of cement clinker is a starting point in the search for sustainable concrete. The research has also focused on which organic substances could replace clinker or use it more effectively and in such a way that important concrete properties like flow behaviour, strength or durability remain unaffected.
"We are experimenting with coconut fibres, acacia juice and cassava peel, among other things, and check the resilience of organic concrete compared to conventional mixtures," explained Dr Wolfram Schmidt from BAM's Technology of Construction Materials division.
Schmidt further added that the peel of Cassava, also called manioc and a staple food in Nigeria, is a suitable raw material for concrete in two respects. The residual starch adhering to the peel can be extracted and used as an additive to improve processing properties of concrete so that cement can be used more effectively.
When the peel is subsequently burned, the high reactive silica content enables the ash to be used as a sustainable cement substitute and improve the eco-balance compared to conventional concrete.
The use of cassava peel has another advantage. The combustion energy released in ash production can be used to manufacture bricks for example.
The construction industry is also looking for possible new, sustainable raw materials for concrete production here and in other countries as well. "We will be able to transfer a lot to highly technical countries from our basic research and experience gained by working with our African partners," said Schmidt.
This might also be useful for the Middle East's construction industry, with large construction projects being underway in the Middle Eastern region.
According to BAM, the sustainable use of agricultural residues in the construction industry would not only be a contribution to environmental protection but also a potential additional source of income for farmers.

Note: I was asked to submit, with other critics and musicians, a group of favorite jazz albums of the '70s for jerryjazzmusician.com. The choices will be posted there around the end of August 2014. Here's what I sent in.
Three from the '70s that I wouldn't be without:
- Charles Mingus, Let My Children Hear Music, 1971. This is not only Mingus's masterpiece, which he acknowledged on the jacket of the LP, but Sy Johnson's. Sy arranged all but three pieces, which Charles did not acknowledge. This is deep, complex, multilayered jazz played by as many as thirty musicians (again, unacknowledged). Mingus employed everything from circus sound effects to echoes of Richard Strauss, creating a swinging, roiling cauldron of music like no other jazz record.
- Chick Corea, Piano Improvisations, Vol. 1, 1971. Before Return to Forever and his other forays into fusion with the Miles Davis bands, Chick Corea showed his abilities as a wonderfully innovative pianist here. He moved jazz into deeply personal territory with these compositions, playing with modes, fourths, Latin music, fine melodies. I hear the influence of Debussy's Preludes strongly. "Sometime Ago" and the eight-part suite "Where Are You Now?" are unmistakably Chick.
- Dexter Gordon, Homecoming, 1977. This double album for Columbia marked for me a peak in straight-ahead jazz for the '70s. No one played this stuff better than Dexter, and this document of his return from Copenhagen to New York and the Village Vanguard showed him at the top of his game. He joined a very compatible group featuring trumpeter Woody Shaw. Up-tempos predominate, but "Fenja," which Dexter wrote for his then-wife, shows off his fine lyrical side. His later wife Maxine details the homecoming here.

Cllr Jean Campbell: sad news
"Jean had represented Wormholt and White City ward since 4th May 2006. She was also an active member of her local church, a member of the Hammersmith Labour Party's general committee and an executive member of the White City Tenants and Residents Association - having been re-elected as its treasurer just last Wednesday night.
Jean Campbell was a part of that great pioneer generation. Born in Belmont, St. Andrew, Jamaica on the 6th March 1947 she arrived in Britain on 1970. She worked as an auxiliary nurse in the West London Hospital, then as a civil servant in the Department of Trade and Industry and did all of this while volunteering in her local community and bringing up four sons.
For Jean, looking out for others was just part of how she lived her life. Accompanying her on a walk around White City could be a leisurely affair as she would be stopped by neighbours and constituents all keen to pass the time of day, discuss some issue of concern or shout a friendly greeting as they dashed by. She was a captivating speaker in the Council Chamber – always sticking up for the poorest and most hard done by. She was the original community leader - always thinking how she could get something done and working to make things better. For the last seven years Jean was the carer for her partner Jones Delauney who sadly died in July after a long illness. Jean lived with her mum.
Recently, Jean was campaigning for better care for elderly residents in sheltered housing, for better youth services and was in the process of sending food parcels to Jamaica after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
I had last spoken with Jean on Friday night. She was on good form and looking forward to the future – even joking about going dancing again. Jean was much loved and respected by all of us all. Her death is a terrible shock and a dreadful loss.
I know the thoughts of everyone who knew Jean will be with her mum, her children, their partners and her grandchildren, all of whom she was very proud - as were we of her".

Our vision for social science students revolves around key strengths in the University in relation to key challenges of economic growth, inequality, conflict, migration, national identity and modern developments (such as technology and Big Data for instance) which impact on social behavior. Conservation and energy, public health, neuroscience, psychometrics, language sciences, and public policy all feature here as strategic initiatives. Membership of the DTC and DTP thus brings great opportunity to engage with ongoing cutting edge multi-disciplinary research. Indeed, graduate researchers add to the dynamic nature of the activity. We very much want to create a generation of students who can cut across disciplinary boundaries and think as social scientists beyond single disciplines and at the same time contribute to ways of addressing broad societal challenges.
Our particular vision for the postgraduates (ESRC sponsored students and ultimately the broader social science postgraduate community) involves not only excellent academic discipline-based training, but a wide range of competencies, including comprehensive methodological training so that students have a full tool kit of methodological skills (including advanced quantitative skills), an understanding of the potential and pitfalls of working with secondary data, big data and new forms of data (such as social media), and comprehension of ethical dimensions of this work. As indicated, we also want our social science students to have capacity and opportunities for creative work across disciplinary boundaries, and communication skills so as to be able to engage in effective knowledge exchange with partners in government and civil society organizations; in public services, in the third sector, business and industry. We want our social scientist students to have awareness and experience of 'real world' research beyond academic confines, through workshops, placements and internships with external partners, and alertness to innovation – whether in terms of substantive topics which emerge in a fast-changing social world (e.g. concerns about human trafficking and migration; new forms of terrorism) or methodological and technological innovation (e.g. real-time analysis, and analysis of complex social networks). We want our postgraduates to be equipped to be at the forefront of broader social science developments in the future and to able to engage with public policy as it evolves. We also want our postgraduates to generate research evidence to shape policy. We think that this skillset is necessary for the next generation of social scientists. In sum, we want to promote excellence in social science, develop students' capacity for taking initiative, and foster a strong sense of responsibility not only in collaborations with external partners during the course of a Ph.D, but beyond this.
We hope that you will be up for this! We have high expectations of you – but will give every support and opportunity that we can through your departments, research groups and clusters which bring together people interested in related topics and challenges, through our Social Science Research Methods Programme (which adds to any existing methods training within your department), through allied personal and professional development training opportunities, and through DTC and DTP activities themselves (workshops which involve engagement with public policy makers, research in industry, business, government and non-government organisations). We are also able to offer you opportunities for placements and internships on a national and international level. Our aim is to help you become social scientists for the future!

Reading Guide for Bibliophiles – Fine Books and Collections.
Considering that the link above is from one of the greatest websites about books, I'm a little dissappointed with how simple it is. I was hoping to be able to share a larger portion of the article here. Alas, I shall leave the exploration to you.
The article is about 50 books about books that booklovers will probably love. It was an interesting list to read through. Here are some of the highlights:
A Reader on Reading by Alberto Manguel sounds interesting.
The Book in the Renaissance is probably very dense, but sounds like an interesting study.
The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession by Allison Hoover. I picked up a copy of this book at Powell's this summer and am quite excited to get to it…which hopefully will be soon.
For you history lovers out there, this one sounds amazing. I've read other reviews about it, all praise it highly. It is called Lost Rights: The Misadventures of a Stolen American Relic by Davie Howard. It is the story of a stolen original copy of the Bill of Rights.
I just read about this book today. It has to be a funny book. The Englishman Who Posted Himself and Other Curious Objects by John Tingey is about W. Reginald Bray who took full advantage of England's rules for mail. He mailed all sorts of absurd items, including himself. Sounds like a very fun read.
There are also a couple of books listed in the fiction section that are noteworthy. The first being The Night Bookmobile. This is a graphic novel (and I think more of a children's book) by the author that wrote The Time Traveler's Wife. I've had my eye on this book, too.
Beatrice and Virgil: A Novel by Yann Martel is mentioned, but I'm still not sure I can give this one a full recommendation. You want to read something by Martel? Get Life of Pi. Holy cow, that is an amazing book. I'll never stop singing its praises.
The list I've provided here is just a snapshot. Be sure to click on the link above to read over the full list in all its glory.
Oh, and be sure to vote in my new poll below!

The Wisdom House is a DVD-led resource based on Rob Parsons' book The Wisdom House. There are eight stand-alone sessions taken from various chapters of the book.
Who is it for?
These sessions are designed to help you build genuine friendships with people and begin to really listen to each other as you chat about everyday life issues. Churches may find this product particularly useful as a way of gathering together folk in their community. Most of the content is about general wisdom and accessible to people with or without faith, but we have provided a couple of deeper/spiritual questions in each session which can be used if the group leader feels they're appropriate for the group.
The sessions can be used with evening functions or daytime events and may be of particular help to already existing networks, such as, mums and toddler groups, men's groups and 20's & 30's groups. And they would certainly be great way of forming new groups.

Acid-base equilibria
Current time:0:00Total duration:9:18
Ka and acid strength
Video transcript
- [Voiceover] Let's look at this acid base reaction. So water is gonna function as a base that's gonna take a proton off of a generic acid HA. So lone pair of electrons on the oxygen pick up this proton leaving these electrons behind on the A. Oxygen, oxygen is now bonded to three hydrogens. So it picked up a proton. That's gonna give this oxygen a plus one formal charge and we can follow those electrons. So these two electrons in red here are gonna pick up this proton forming this bond. So we make hydronium H30 plus and these electrons in green right here are going to come off onto the A to make A minus. Let's go ahead and draw that in. So we're gonna make A minus. Let me draw these electrons in green and give this a negative charge like that. Let's analyze what happened. HA donated a proton so this is our Bronsted-Lowry acid. Once HA donates a proton, we're left with the conjugate base which is A minus. Water, H2O accepted a proton, so this is our Bronsted-Lowry base and then once H2O accepts a proton, we turn into hydronium H3O plus. So this is the conjugate acid. So H3O plus, the conjugate acid and then A minus would be a base. If you think about the reverse reaction, H3O plus donating a proton to A minus then you would get back H2O and HA. Once this reaction reaches equilibrium, we can write an equilibrium expression and we're gonna consider the stuff on the left to be the reactants. We're gonna think about the forward reaction and the stuff on the right to be the products. Let's write our equilibrium expression. And so we write our equilibrium constant and now we're gonna write KA which we call the acid, the acid ionization constant. So this is the acid ionization constant or you might hear acid dissociation constant, so acid dissociation. So either one is fine. All right and we know when we're writing an equilibrium expression, we're gonna put the concentration of products over the concentration of reactants. Over here for our products we have H3O plus, so let's write the concentration of hydronium H3O plus times the concentration of A minus, so times the concentration of A minus. All over the concentration of our reactant, so we have HA over here, so we have HA. So we could write that in and then for water, we leave water out of our equilibrium expression. It's a pure liquid. Its concentration doesn't change and so we leave, we leave H2O out of our equilibrium expression. All right, so let's use this idea of writing an ionization constant and let's apply this to a strong acid. HCL is gonna function as a Bronsted-Lowry acid and donate a proton to water which is going to be our Bronsted-Lowry base. And so we could think about a loan pair of electrons in the auction taking our proton, leaving those electrons behind. And so the auction is now bonded to three hydrogens because it picked up a proton, giving this a plus one charge. Once again let's follow those electrons in red. This electron pair picks up this proton to form this bond, so we form H3O plus or hydronium. And these electrons in green move off onto the chlorine, so let's show that. We form the chloride anion. Let me go ahead and draw in the electrons in green and let me go ahead and write a negative one charge here like that. Another way to represent this acid base reaction would just be to write out H2O plus HCL, gives us H3O plus, plus CL minus. So this is just a faster way of doing it and HCL is a strong acid. Strong acids donate protons very easily and so we can say this process occurs 100%. So we get 100% ionization. The equilibrium is so far to the right that I just drew this one arrow down over here. We get approximately 100% ionization, so everything turns into our products here and let's go ahead and write our equilibrium expression. So KA is equal to a concentration of H3O plus. So concentration of our products times concentration of CL minus, all over, right, we have HCL and we leave out water. If we think about approximately 100% ionization, we have all products here. So we have a very, very large number in the numerator and extremely small number in the denominator. If you think about what that does for your KA, that's gonna give you an extremely high value for your KA. All right, so KA is much, much, much greater than one here. That's how we recognize a strong acid. An acid ionization constant that's much, much greater than one. Now let's think about the conjugate base. All right, so let's go back up here. So we had a HCL and CL minus as our conjugate acid base pair and the stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base. All right, so HCL is a strong acid, so CL minus is a weak conjugate base. So let me write that here. The stronger the acid, so stronger the acid, weaker the conjugate, weaker the conjugate base. And one way to think about that is if I look at this reaction, we can think about competing base strength. All right, so here we have Bronsted-Lowry. Base water is acting as a Bronsted-Lowry base and accepting a proton. And over here if you think about the reverse reaction, the chloride anion would be trying to pick up a proton from hydronium for the reverse reaction here but since HCL is so good at donating protons, that means that the chloride anion is not very good at accepting them. So the stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base. Water is a much stronger base than the chloride anion. Finally let's look at acetic acids. Acetic acid is going to be our Bronsted-Lowry acid and this is going to be the acidic proton. Water is gonna function as a Bronsted-Lowry base and a lone pair of electrons in the auction is going to take this acidic proton, leaving these electrons behind on the oxygen. So let's go ahead and draw our products. We would form the acetate anions. Let me go ahead and draw in the acetate anion so negative one charge on the oxygen. Let me show those electrons. These electrons in green move off onto the oxygen right here, giving it a negative charge. We're also gonna form a hydronium. All right, so H3O plus, so let me go ahead and draw in hydronium. So plus one formal charge on the oxygen and let's show those electrons in red. All right, so this electron pair picks up the acidic proton. Forming this bond that we get H3O plus. So another way to write this acid base reaction would be just to write acetic acid, CH3, COOH plus H2O gives us the acetate anion, CH3COO minus plus H3O plus. Now acetic acid is a weak acid and weak acids don't donate protons very well. So acetic acid is gonna stay mostly protonated. When you think about this reaction coming to an equilibrium, you're gonna have a relatively high concentration of your reactants here. When we write the equilibrium expression, write KA is equal to the concentration of your product so CH3COO minus times the concentration of H3O plus, all over the concentration of acetic acid because we leave water out. So all over the concentration of acetic acid. All right, the equilibrium lies to the left because acetic acid is not good at donating this proton. So we're going to get a very large number for the denominator, for this concentration so this is a very large number and a very small number for the numerator. All right, so this is a very small number. So if you think about what that does to the KA, all right, a very small number divided by a very large number, this gives you a KA value, an ionization constant much less than one. All right, so this value is going to be much less than one and that's how we recognize, that's one way to recognize a weak acid. Look at the KA value.

Michael Metrinko spent the holiday as he had spent all his days since the first week of the takeover, locked in a windowless basement storage room by himself. He had been invited to the Christmas party, but he wanted no part of a propaganda show. When his guards brought him a gift from the ceremony, a plate of turkey and stuffing, cookies, and decorated marshmallows, the food was tempting; Metrinko was hungry, but he was galled by how self-congratulatory his captors seemed, how generous and noble and proudly Islamic. He accepted the plate, and when they left him alone to eat, he sat staring at the food.
Then he knocked on the door and said he needed to use the toilet. When the door opened, Metrinko emerged holding the gift plate before him. He marched down the hall into the bathroom and dumped the contents into the toilet bowl. He made sure the guards saw him do it.
They were furious with him. He had insulted their hospitality and kind intentions. He was crazy! When they shoved him back into his room and slammed the door shut, Metrinko felt a momentary pang at having lost the meal. What a glorious treat he had denied himself! But his remorse was nothing next to the pleasure he took in delivering the insult. It had hit home and wounded them, and that was something that gave a more lasting pleasure than the food ever could have."
It is important that we remember who the heroes were, and who they were not. Mark Bowden has helped us do that.

On Monday, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics busted a marijuana-growing operation in Jefferson Davis County. That itself is not uncommon. Marijuana plots are common throughout sparsely populated rural America and many are detected and destroyed and the growers brought to justice.
But it was the scale of this week's bust that made it a conversation piece -- seven separate fields covering 40 acres with a crop estimated as much as $70 million. Although details were scant as officials continue the investigation, there is some belief that this operation is the work of a cartel because of the sophistication of the operation.
For some, the specter of a drug cartel operating in Mississippi raised the need for tighter border security in the form of President Trump's wall across the US/Mexico border.
Rather than debate the relevance of that claim or the effectiveness of such a wall, this incident raises another point worthy of consideration.
Imagine, if that marijuana operation was legal and the product taxed. Now, imagine if that were true throughout the nation. We're talking hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue that could reduce our existing tax burden or be spent on a wide variety of real needs, everything from infrastructure to health care to education.
Now, consider the cost of policing these illegal operations in terms of law enforcement resources.
Finally, consider the practical reality of marijuana use today and what we can glean from history when government was charged with the futile job of eliminating a product that a great part of the population insisted on using whether it was legal or not.
A Marist survey in 2017 showed that 35 million Americans smoke marijuana on a monthly basis. That's a little less than 10 percent of the entire population. That same survey said 78 million (a fifth of all Americans) have smoked marijuana at least once and 55 million (1 in 6 Americans) have smoked marijuana during a calendar year.
As more and more states legalize and tax marijuana, it's clear that the stigma of marijuana as a dangerous illegal drug has subsided and efforts to control operations are bordering on futility.
The old arguments for why marijuana should continue to be illegal just aren't satisfying, especially as its benefits in pain management are gaining credence.
It is time to take an enlightened, practical and honest look at marijuana and recognize that it should be legal, regulated and taxed.
It is a lesson we should have learned from the Prohibition era, when Congress criminalized the production and distribution of alcohol. It achieved nothing other than to make multi-millionaires out of criminal organizations while endangering the thirsty public, which turned to illegal alcohol that was not held to any safety standards.
After 12 years, Congress saw the folly of Prohibition and alcohol returned to being a legal, regulated and taxed commodity.
Surely we have reached that point with marijuana.
If you want to prevent drug cartels from setting up shop in Mississippi, legalizing marijuana and using economic principles will be far more effective than to erecting a wall.

Single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics analysis are crucial to gain insights of healthy physiology and disease pathogenesis. The comprehensive profiling of biomolecules in individual cells of a heterogeneous system can provide deep insights into many important biological questions, such as the distinct cellular compositions or regulation of inter- and intracellular signaling pathways of healthy and diseased tissues. With multidimensional molecular imaging of many different biomarkers in patient biopsies, diseases can be accurately diagnosed to guide the selection of the ideal treatment. As an urgent need to advance single-cell analysis, imaging-based technologies have been developed to detect and quantify multiple DNA, RNA …

The ability to manipulate the interaction between small molecules and biological macromolecules towards the study of disease pathogenesis has become a very important part of research towards treatment options for various diseases. The work described here shows both the use of DNA oligonucleotides as carriers for a nicotine hapten small molecule, and the use of microsomes to study the stability of compounds derived to treat mitochondrial diseases. Nicotine addiction is a worldwide epidemic because nicotine is one of the most widely used addictive substances. It is linked to early death, typically in the form of heart or lung disease. A …

The gift of music (love from Lee)
April 30, 2013
I just got this from Lee on my mobile:
I miss him so much. I am just sitting here staring at his denim jacket that he's thrown on his bed. He has put a massive piece of paper out of his sketchbook propped up against his bed and he has scrawled:
I love you Case
right across it in what must be acrylic paint.
That is THE denim jacket that he wore the night he climbed up to my room via the old tree and we spent our first night together.
Not sleeping.

April's almost gone….and my first bust up with Lee.
April 29, 2013
This is my mantra. I HAVE to try and be more tolerant
Yeh so I have been like, hugely busy over the last week. Loads of college work to do and at the weekend I stayed over at Kate's house as she had a parteeee! I had a bit of an argument with Lee over that girl in the Skype photo…that was pretty ugly for a few days, and I bloody D's split up with his girlfriend…what a week…
Ok. Kate had a party. I went over to hers on Saturday morning and we went into town. I wanted some new charity shop finds for the summer; Kate also likes trawling second hand rails, so we had a blast. I will post my 'haul' stuff in another blog. Decent!
The party was ok but not that many people from college turned up. It was a quiet one, a bit boring with not good music! Why do none of my so-called friends like rock and metal?? I'll tell you who did turn up though. My EX boyfriend, bloody hell! He has gone really scruffy and looks dirty. Not that I mind scruffy but there's a limit. He really looked like he had just been asleep in a dumpster. He got really trollied and tried to get off with me which I found hideous. He reeked of booze and fags and when he was talking to me he kept spitting. Kate threw him out in the end. Look how things go! He was once the heartbreaker of the college and now no one wants to speak to him or be around him. I felt a little bit sorry for him but then I thought back to all the shit he has given me and how he cheated openly..nah fuck him!
Anyways Sunday I had a raging hangover and got home at about 2pm. Did nothing for a few hours cos my head was like, internally bleeding, and then I tried to Skype Lee. I hadn't really spoken to him much since Wednesday due to his shifts at the pub. We had managed a few late night chats but nothing like we used to have. Sunday we had just enough time to lay down with each other on our beds and pretend that we were really next to each other, just talking about our day and how much we loved each other…trying to figure out when we are gonna meet up next. (Unresolved). Then he had to go to work.
That girl. Well yeh..I asked him in a text message that night that I posted the snap shot, and he didn't answer me. I stayed up til late that night on Skype to try and catch him when he got home but I must have fallen asleep cos I woke up next morning to a text going 'I don't know what girl you mean. What's with you, Case?'
I was fuming!
I texted back but I could see he was still asleep. I don't think he went to Uni that morning at all cos I was running late for college and he was still out of it. I heard his phone make his message noise and knew it was from me. He didn't stir. Then what happens? I see his door open and THAT GIRL comes strolling in like a bitch and starts rummaging around on his bedside table thingy. WTF?!!! I tried to call him. I heard his fucking phone ring and saw his hand groping round for it. It fell on the floor and SHE picked it up and rejected my call! OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. I was like, what the ACTUAL fuck is going on here?
I kept ringing but he wasn't responding. She left the room like a fucking bitch, and then I had to get off to college. BAD BAD day. At about 2 o'clock Lee called me to ask why he had so many missed calls from me, like was I ok? Hmmm NO!!!!!!!!!
He hasn't heard my wrath before and I was BEYOND pissed off. When I get THAT mad, everything just starts to build up and I can't see any sense in anything. In my head, he was obviously cheating on me cos SHE keeps stuff on his bedside table and sneaks in while he's asleep etc. I didn't stop to think that I see EVERYTHING in his room and if he was cheating I would surely see them both………in there. (I don't want to imagine anything else going on between them in this scenario. I don't do jealously very well AT ALL). I gave him so much shit, they must have been able to hear me shouting down the phone all the way down his street. Oh yes, Casey went BADASS. Not a pretty sight or sound in this case. The poor guy kept trying to butt in and explain but I wouldn't let him. Of course I wouldn't. I knew that he would soon get VERY fucking peeved with me, but I couldn't stop ranting in his ear. Lee hates fights, verbal conflict, especially when clearly one person is a raving lunatic and the other is just sitting there like a twat listening and taking all the shit without being able to defend themselves. Oh dear.
I heard his go 'Casey…… CASEY. If you don't stop blasting me I am going to put the phone down.'
And then he did.
That made me even more crazed. Clearly he was also well pissed off with me by that point in time cos he didn't ring me back and he turned off his Skype screen. It hasn't been off since we started Skyping. I got a text about an hour later saying that when I had calmed down enough to listen I should call him, but he would not be calling me. I don't think he realised how stubborn and bloody minded I can get. I vowed it would be days before I had calmed down. At one point I actually thought it would be NEVER. I was not going to call him back either. Oh no. This went on for 2 days!
Wednesday. I woke up feeling like I was about to hurl myself against a wall and knock myself unconscious. He hadn't texted me or called. Skype was still down and even though I requested it and kept calling he wouldn't put it back up. I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to make the phone call but by then it had been so long that it was all too much. Then I noticed he had emailed me!
I felt better until I actually read it. He started off calmly by explaining who the girl was. He had found out that it was the new girl in their house who had thought she was in someone else's room. Apparently she is really nice and would never have done that had she realised. She was meant to have been in Annabelle's room which is next to his. She didn't know he had Skye on all the time and was really embarrassed when he asked around about it the day after I asked him. Annabelle had found her in there and simply laughed about it and shown her where her room was. (YEH that fucking bitch now as well…she KNEW I would see her in there! I bet she loved that! I wouldn't be surprised if she had told this girl ON PURPOSE to go in Lee's room just to get me wound up?!!) Nothing more said, she apologised, Lee being nice and easy going accepted it, they all get along great etc etc which left ME. That unreasonable, jealous cow. Oh yeh and she went back into the room cos she had left something in there…glasses or something, and Lee had told her to go in any time and get them. Why did she reject my calls? He said she had done it because Annabelle had told her not to wake me up cos she had found out that they had the morning off at Uni due to a lecturer being off sick. Hmmm.
So Casey is the turd.
Then he told me some 'home truths '. His very words. I don't really want to write them here as it upsets me to think about it. The fact that Lee thinks I am a self absorbed, unreasonable….oh well you get the message here. Needless to say he wasn't too impressed by the undeniable fact that I couldn't even be arsed to call him and listen to his side of the story. He was amazed and lost for words that I had left it this long. And 'If this is how you behave when we have a disagreement or decide that I am cheating with no real proof then our relationship isn't as great as I thought.'
That chestnut fucking hurt.
So I called. Awkward? Yep. Time for me to grovel? Yep. Was he the same Lee that I have known for 10 months? NO. But then again I hadn't been the Casey he had known for 10 months either.
I apologised. I must love him cos I NEVER apologise.
So anyways we are ok now. He upset me a bit when he said that maybe we ought to switch off Skype when we are not in but no cos it's really ace just looking at his unmade bed when he's not there. Or looking to see what has moved since I was at college and he has gone back home and got ready for work… like his uni bag is on the bed and his art folders propped up against his desk. Cds that he has listened to. You know…stuff like that. This thing really scared me though. I have GOT to get a fucking grip on my anger. As he says to me all the time, 'Look at the situation from all angles before you go accusing and shouting at people.'
The other situation this week. D's girlfriend has gone apeshit at some text messages she found on his phone FROM ME. She visited him last week all the way from Serres in Greece and he said they were having an ace time until then. They have got the same phones and she picked his up by accident and saw an unopened message from me. Not knowing who I was, or not remembering (I am sure D has told her about me) she opened it. Now all I had put was 'Hey, let me know when you're on Skype tonight cos I miss your face' and she went proper mental. Sounds a bit like me eh?
What I meant was that he always pulls this fucked up face at me when I mis-pronounce Greek words he is teaching me. It cracks me up. So you see, it could be construed as being flirty when it wasn't meant to be AT ALL. Anyhow, he texted me and said that she was very unhappy about loads of stuff and they needed time to talk before she went back to Greece. It had all come to the surface apparently cos when he called me a few days later he said that it was all over. She had come to tell him she wanted to end it as she was tired of never seeing him and when they had chances to see each other in Greece, he was with his mates. He told me that yes, when he thought about it, it was true. He wasn't really that committed to her so they decided she should go back the day after and they will remain friends but nothing more. He said the text message wasn't really the reason they broke up, it was the catalyst. Poor D. He seems ok though. But you never know with him cos he hides his feelings. He is a very reserved guy and never seems to get emotional. Unlike Lee who wears his heart on his sleeve. They are different in that way. D is more like me. I guess it's like, Lee is who I WANT to be like and D is who I AM like. Does that make sense?
I am really lucky to have two such great guys in my life, that's for sure.
Oh must go. I am due for some Skyping. Lee is in his room!
Listening to this (A LOT!)
Jealous much? Hell yeh. :(
April 21, 2013
Last night.
I had just Skyped with D and then got a huge urge to see if Lee was back yet. Saturday night he usually works til at least 1am but it was about that time so I swapped screen. I was shocked to see a girl in his room. I managed to take a shot of her. Here she is. Who the HELL is she? And WHY is she in Lee's room at 1am and he's NOT?
Proper torture…Wraies Meres Part 2
April 20, 2013
Sometimes it's just too much to even look at these. Today I put some as backgrounds on my lappy. I miss Yiayia and her stupid talk about boyfriends and why I dye my hair blue. Paps just used to sit there sipping coffee and beaming at me. It's not fair. They are my flesh and blood but they won't come to England. They think they are too old…..Yiayia has never been out of Greece, never been on a plane. What a life…just being at home all day learning how to cook and bringing up her kids. My Dad and my Aunt Sophia. God, she is a weirdo though! I dunno…I kinda liked her but she was so loud. Like, why dye your hair blonde if you have got naturally BLACK hair and olive skin? No! I would LOVE to have black hair and olive skin! Look at me. To say I am Half Greco, it sucks really that I took Mum's complexion! WHY GOD, WHY?????
'Itan para poli wraia na se xerw…..elpizw oti mia mera, tha ksanasinandoume…tha mou leipseis poli'
I don't know if I remember that right….D wrote it down in English letters for me and wouldn't translate it. I lost it though, I have looked everywhere for it. I didn't dare ask dad in case it's something 'personal' hahaha. I can't google it to translate because it's not in proper Greek letters………Damn!
Some more shots of the city of light!
this one is near where we got off the bus in the centre. I LOVE the way it looks so intense with the shops and apartments stacked up…and then an ancient church next to it.
a random night shot along the port front….can you tell I was wasted? hahaha
D took this…right down a step nearly touching the water in the port. I was too drunk to do it I would have landed in there for sure!
around the same area by day…
random backstreet shot
D made me go up the White Tower even though I was shitting myself. He took this so I would be able to see the view at least from a camera. He called me 'Kota' which I believe is CHICKEN.
ancient ruins in the midst of this heaving and wonderfully mad city centre! All the shops round here are hippy/goth/arty.
abandoned baby! Oh yeh!
one of the cafe's where I drank copious Frappe's (gliko me gala!)
We walked this strip til we wore it down I reckon!
random cool shot of nice buildings…The National Bank I think
Some big protest…….can't remember what about. Apparently it's always happening. Good!
Oh MAN look at those apartment buildings!
What does Casey want for Christmas? One of those blue ones! Er…dream on.
Oh I was sent this video…D says it is one of the best (traditional) Greek singers and the song is about Thessaloniki.
<iframe width="420″ height="315″ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OpoLvi_GQYA" frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen></iframe
means something like; I explore or delve into Saloniki
I suppose like he wants to know everything about the place. Like I do!
Where do I belong? In purgatory again……..
April 20, 2013
I have been back for…*working it out*…oh, a week! Jesus I didn't even realise it was a week ago since I flung my bags and laptop down on my bed in my attic room and wanted to die of exhaustion and from the black cloud that was pouring freezing, blinding rain onto my shit life.
Yeh well. As you can probs work out, I am non too happy to be back in this dark, cold, rainy country where no one smiles. My only saving graces are the two men in my life who are here. Lee and Dimitris.
Basically (I hate people who say that but there, I said it and don't give a fuck) I have been catching up on all my college work and Skyping lee and Dimitri. Nothing else. I miss Thessaloniki so much it hurts. I have been trying to work out a way to go and live there but Dad says that it's impossible nowadays with the crisis and all that jazz. He says it isn't even worth me studying there as there are no good Universities for Arts or Design and I would have to know Greek to like, an AMAZING standard to even be able to get by. And A levels probs wouldn't count as a way in cos money apparently has more standing than exam results. In other words parents BRIBE the universities to take their kids on. Really now?!! No wonder Dad studied here.
But that doesn't make me feel any better. I'm so utterly damn confused about everything.
Sometimes I wish I had never gone to Thessaloniki but then…no I don't cos it was frickin awesome!
I even miss my little garconiera.
I miss Dimitri. We got up to some crap! The last two nights we stayed up on the balcony til 3am and I got royally pissed and then he took me for drives around the city and we went for some beers on the VERY last night but don't tell M&D cos they forbade it. Well they should know not to forbid Casey cos she will do it. For sure.
Yeh so what about Lee?
I got to Skype with him a bit more when I got back but it was late. Like 2am til fall asleep on top of the laptop type of late. He is working so hard and I am deeply shitting myself about him. He never stops! He has got dark rings under his eyes every time I chat with him and he slurs his speech. I don't think his M&D realise how many shifts he is working right now. I feel like going over there and telling them but I think they've got enough to worry about. Like his Dad finding a job! My M&D have been helping out a lot like making them food and Mum has been there to help her clean and do stuff around the house. That's more for a friendly ear though I reckon. Lisa said he had an interview while we were away but didn't get it after all that so that made him feel loads worse. Shit. Lee is sending money home I think as well.
I know he loves me but he hasn't told me for ages now. I don't want to stress him out with my shit so I tell Dimitri everything. We have grown close and I afraid that I'm spending more time talking with him than Lee. What can I do though? He is also having probs with his girlfriend so we are kinda consoling each other. I think he likes me more than mates but I can't 'entertain' that thought right now. Why do things happen when you least NEED them to? He has said I can go stay with him in Manchester whenever I want but I think, and this is the plain fucking truth, we would end up doing something and I don't want that shit on my shoulders as well. We came pretty close to kissing in the car when we got back on the last night and we had been to this cool as SHIT rock bar above an old indoor market place. (I can't remember the name of it now). He was looking at me right in the eyes….IN the eyes and he said that he had had the best week with me and he would miss me loads. We hugged and..and…and…well you know. It was on the cards but we both kinda laughed it off and got out the car. Awkwardly.
I love Lee with all my heart. It's just that Dimitri is different to any guy I have ever met. He is part of my roots, part of that part of me that I have just found. That beautiful city of light. It's so so so magical. He IS that place and so therefore he IS me.
I haven't said anything to Lee or him about how I feel. I do feel lucky to have them both in my life though. Of course I told Lee about him and he didn't seem to mind..when I told him we were just friends. Are we though?
Anyway. He will probably sort stuff out with his girl and Lee's Dad will find a job and everything will get back to normal. I will soon forget how empty I feel now and how amazing Greece is. I will be comfortably numb, sitting up here dreaming about the summer hols when I can see Lee. Everything will be great again when he comes here and we play the game of climb the tree to my room and sleep together til dawn. Except the fucking tree will have leaves on it then so it'll be a bitch to climb up and down. Hahaha poor Lee!
Yes. Life will be good again. I hope……..
For now I will be playing Greek Rock music as recommended by Dim (or Jim as his English buds call him) and posting some more of my Thessaloniki pictures so I can stare at them some more. And weep.
Let it continue…..
Xilina Spathia (The wooden Swords)
Xartinos Ouranos (Paper Sky)
Pix Lax (Punch Kick)
Monaxia mou ola (My loneliness is everything)
Nikos Portokaloglou
Pou isouna fws mou (where were you, my light)
(btw I am trying to translate some of these songs with the help of D of course. That last one has beautifully dark lyrics about love and pain).
wraies meres (lovely days)
April 5, 2013
You see, I am learning Greek quite fast! I have started to practice the alphabet and writing the letters. It seems to come easily, I guess it's genetic. Dad's really happy and so is Y&P. I really want to be able to communicate with them properly someday.
So last night, Dimitri shouted across at me from his balcony and I parked my chair at the end of my balcony. His balcony almost touches mine so it was like I was in there. There were 5 guys all playing guitar and singing. They kept passing me bottles of beers (Mythos..I love it) and I got a bit drunk hahaha. They played mostly Greek songs and Dimitri kept reminding them that I didn't really understand so they would play some stuff I knew. Led Zeppelin was popular with them and some Nirvana which I sang along to pretty loudly! I kept expecting someone to come out and bollock us for being loud but of course this is Greece. No one seems to give a shit although Dad said he could hear them and that the 'noise' stopped at about 3am. Whoops! Greek boys are fricking sexy I have to say at this point. One of them, I think he was called Kostas, kept staring at me and spent most of the evening singing AT me, I could tell. He was really cute. I think I like the dark skin and hair. Hahaa. Lee is dark as well but he has got fair skin.
They taught me some words that apparently I need to know…like Malakas WANKER……hahahaha! And how to say Fuck you which is Gamisoo….they said it a lot to each other as well as Malaka and I kept laughing. Apparently it's normal and friendly, wtf ok then! I said to Dimitri, if this isn't arguing I wanna see what you're like when you're really pissed with each other..he thought it was funny and said that it's pretty ugly. They kept doing a hand gesture that I love as well…hand in your face, like NAAH! You're an idiot and need to shut up type of thing….Oh I love it.
So today I went out with the oldies and we went for another walk (a TOO SHORT walk!) around the city. I just love it so much! Dad told me that there was a massive fire and that the city centre was designed by a French architect after that. It is really beautiful. The buildings are mixed up like you get modern ones sandwiched in between an ancient church and a french style one. There are also LOADS of abandoned ones as well. I was standing there just staring up and Dad had to drag me away. I really REALLY want to go out and explore ON MY OWN. I don't think Dad will let that happen. Fuck it…Gamisoo!
I had given Dimitri my number to call me so we could go out for a coffee. BUT he called me whilst I was out with the oldies and I told Dad and he was like, oh let's all go for a coffee down the port area………WTF? Y&P wanted to as well so I had to EMBARRASSINGLY tell Dimitri. Thing is he was cool about it. What is it with young people that they LIKE adult company? I was a bit pissed off but what could I do? Dad told him where we were gonna be and we met him there. I had ordered a normal coffee (ena Ness!) but when Dimitri got there he ordered a Frappe! When it came I was like WHAT? It's cold coffee in a tall glass and it looks like it's got a massive head on it. He let me try and and WOAHHHH it's amazing. He then said why don't I order one and I thought hmmmm so I said to him, let's go somewhere else and I'll order one there. I think he got the hint and we stuck around for another 20 minutes and then excused ourselves. M&D gave me looks as if to say DON'T YOU DARE do anything..but Yiayia was like, nudging Dad and getting all excited making a shooing gesture with her hand. She was saying that Dimitri is a good kid (kalo paythee) and that I would be ok with him. Yiayia I love you! AGAPI MOO! (My love!)
So we walked down the port area towards the White Tower (which I have to say isn't white hahaha) and Dimitri told me all about Manchester and how he settled in and where he goes out etc. I told him my plans for Uni and he was really interested in my Art work and what I do with my clothes! We then talked about how hard it is for me with Lee being so far away and stuff. Get this though. His girlfriend is studying in Athens! OMG how crap! He hardly ever sees her, like this Easter for example, she has to spend it with her family in somewhere called…I can't remember…something like Serress? It's not far from Thessaloniki but they hardly see each other cos then he goes back to UK. I think the summer will be their time. I can't imagine that shit.
We sat at a cafe outdoors at the end of the port area opposite the White Tower and I ordered my own Frappe! I am properly drinking this for ever now! Dimitri was impressed cos I asked him how to order it and I apparently said it perfectly: Thelo ena frappe gliko me gala (I want a sweet Frappe with milk) CHECK ME OUT!
We had a fun time there, he was teaching me some phrase that I can't remember now…too many, my brain is overloaded! And that guy knows SO many people! Girls and guys would walk past and they would stop and kiss him like two or three times on the cheek or do a kind of high five thing (boys) and talk for ages, all animated like they were on a high. I so wished I could join in and talk as well, I felt like a dick. He was very polite and told all of them my name. So sweet. One girl stopped for a bit and had a coffee as well. She spoke really good English and asked me some stuff. Her name was Popi. She seemed quite er…how can I say it…over dramatic? I dunno…a bit egotistical and the way she was flicking her hair around got on my nerves. She had too much perfume on and exceptionally high heeled shoes……I wasn't jealous…no, I have defo decided I wasn't..I don't know, just something about her. She seemed fake. Is that a Greek girl trait?
I jokingly said to Dimitri that she was flirting with him and he was like, no…..he said that most Greek girls like attention and flirt continuously. He seemed quite down on them in general. He said that they are difficult to read and like to play mind games. I asked him about his girlfriend (called Alexandra) and he said that she is a rocker with pink hair and Doc martens. She doesn't go in for all that crap. Ha! He said that Thessaloniki girls are generally more down to earth and alternative thinking, whereas girls from Athens and the islands are the mind players. Interesting! He likes to stereotype, but who am I to say….
So we got the bus back and we said goodbye in the corridor…..and he frickin kissed me on the cheeks…three times I think. But I KNOW it's normal here..hmmm I do find him really attractive though…NO NO Casey stop!!!
Here are some photos:
Dimitri with his cheeky grin after laughing at me trying to repeat phrases to him in Greek!
where I walked with the oldies, not far from the port area.
And some abandoned buildings!
actually this isn't, but it's gorgeous anyways!
I can't wait for tomorrow!

Thessaloniki..I'm here!
April 4, 2013
Well, what an experience. I am sitting in my little room with my own bathroom and kitchen area, my Yiayia and Papous are sleeping in their apartment next door (it's called ipnaki-little sleep) after our massive meal (again). I would seriously be the size of a house in no time at all if I lived here!
There's sooooooooo much to write about!
Mum and Dad have gone out for a walk. I decided to stay in and write my blog and see if Lee is around. He's not. He is at work as I knew but I had to check. I miss him so much. We haven't seen each other since I left, on Skype I mean, cos of a few factors, mainly that I haven't been able to get online til this afternoon. 'Greekgran' and Papous haven't got internet connection so I have been calling Lee on my mobile before sleep. I am 2 hours ahead of him now so luckily he has finished work by the time I call at about 12 UK time (2am here haha!) It's really nice here. Y&P have only got 2 bedrooms now as they have made one of their smaller bedrooms into a dining area. When my Dad lived here, there was him and his sister as well. (She is coming on Saturday, Sofia is her name. I met her once when she came to visit us but I can't really remember her). Now M&D are in the only spare room but Y&P own a little studio next door which in Greek is called a 'Garconiera'. They used to rent it out but haven't had a tenant in there for a few months. Yiayia said I may as well sleep there as the sofa is a bit uncomfortable in the apartment. I am so glad cos I get my space (to Skype/talk to Lee) and go to bed/get up what time I want and Yiayia has put some coffee (fuck it's STRONG!) in here and some stuff for breaky (hard rings of bread with sesame seeds on. I can't remember what they are called but I love them).
I have also got a little balcony. I want to stay here forever! The evenings have been really mild and I have been sitting out on a little chair and listening to the city streets below and the Greeks being loud. They are soooo noisy. I can also see into other people's apartments cos the streets are narrow around here. I love it! I wish Lee was here. I took this and put it in black and white cos it suits the vibe of this city…
So anyways I am able to be online thanks to a new friend of mine called Dimitri. He lives next door and we bumped into each other in the lift yesterday when I was with the oldies. He spoke to Yiayia and Papous (from now on Y&P) and said Hi to me and after he got out downstairs, my Dad translated from what Yiayia said that he is a good kid who always helps Y&P out when they need. I get the impression that Greek kids are much more respectful of old people than we are in UK. I have seen kids help old people across the roads and they speak to them in respectful ways from what I can tell. I don't know what anyone is saying, I have to admit, they all talk so frickin fast! He did come in later and we talked for a bit. Get this…..He is studying Business and Finance at Manchester Uni! Not far at all from where I live. He is home for Easter hols as it's a big celebration here. He said he's pretty busy this week but offered to take me out to see some sites and go for a drink with his friends. Fucking Dad was quick to point out I am not yet 18! OMG! Anyways we have arranged to go out tomorrow for a coffee at the port front where all the bars and cafes are. I can't wait. Just as mates though, however gorgeous he is. And he really is! Oh yeh…he gave me his key code or whatever for his internet so I hooked up to his. At 7 o'clock, Dimitri told me that he is gonna be on his balcony with some mates of his jamming! So basically I can sit on my balcony and his is right next to mine so I can sit right at the end and join in. There isn't much privacy living in a block of apartments like this one. Totally the opposite to my attic room!
So what have we done so far.
It was awesome on Tuesday cos Pops took me to the airport at stupid o'clock to get my 6:30am flight. I was monged out to fuck and didn't wake up properly til I landed in Thessaloniki. It was then about 11:30 being 2 hours ahead of Uk and it was pretty warm when I got off the plane. Dead weird was the sense of bustle…I can't explain it well, just that Greeks seem to be really loud and over the top. All I could hear was this weird language and like they were all arguing. I have realised that they are not though…well most of the time anyway!
I got this off the internet..just to show how Thessaloniki is written in Greek letters.
Dad was there with Papous and Mum in his ancient car. I couldn't believe it! Paps was talking non stop and poor Mum was just shrugging her shoulders at me as she didn't understand a fucking word they were saying. Paps seemed ace and kept Dad busy asking me stuff through him. He LIKES my blue hair! Suck on THAT Mum and Dad who told me to wash it out before I came here cos they were conventional the Greeks. Yeh ok. Do you know how many colours of hair I've seen and I've only been here a few days! Shut up dad…….
We drove towards the city and I was quite surprised by all the high rises…but somehow they are NICE not like in UK. Y&P live in an area East of the city centre which is quite modern compared to the centre itself. I love the city centre by the way. We went yesterday. It's just BEAUTIFUL. I'd call it shabby chic…just the right place for a rock music video or a horror film. I have got some photos but they aren't great. I will put them at the end of this post.
So then we get to the apartment block and go up in the retro lift to the 5th floor. How much do I love this building? I could hear weird music coming from behind the doors I guessed it was traditional Greek. It made me feel like I was back in time. Oh my God I love it! I will post some Greek music as well.
Yiayia. Well I fell in love with her the moment I saw her! She is tiny and has got the strongest hug ever! She wouldn't let me breath and she was saying stuff to me and stroking my face, then she started crying! Dad translated and she was saying stuff like I was her flower and her heart! Oh my God. We sat on the balcony and she made us Greek coffee which I nearly choked on it was so strong, and Yiayia did not stop to breath I swear down. Mum was just sat there smiling and trying to understand. Paps was quiet but he was smiling at me the whole time. I got the distinct impression that the women are the dominant forces in a Greek household. Go Yiayia! She kept calling me 'Paythee moo' (that's what it sounds like) and it means 'my child' and also 'kartheea moo' MY HEART. I love both of them! She kept bringing out mounds of homemade biscuits. I felt fucking sick by 1 o'clock and then she announced it was time to eat! WTF now? Hahahaha.
THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Dad had already explained that I don't eat meat, which they couldn't understand at all. I tried to get Dad to explain but it seemed to fall on dead ears that I love animals and don't want to eat them. Dad explained to me that in Greece it's not really understood. There was so much lamb on that table that I thought I would throw up at one point, but Mum kept nudging me under the table as if to say, try not to look so disgusted. I ate a lot though…some FUCKING AMAZING things called Dolmathakia which are leaves stuffed with rice. I know it sounds gross but believe me it's SCRUMMY.
Also Yiayia, bless her, made stuffed tomatoes and peppers (with rice in) oh MAN, and also THE most delicious roast potatoes I have EVER tasted.
Greek food. YEH BABY! And then the sweets. Well, you can imagine! I seriously thought I was gonna explode all over the dining room.
Then it was nap time for Y&P and so first her and Dad showed me the garconiera. I was well pleased with it! Here's a photo of the bed area. Look you can see my lap top there on the bed. And no, that's NOT my big soft bear there, it was DAD's!!!! And you can see Dad's school books and stuff in the old bookcase. If you turn from this view to the right there's the door to the bathroom and the room opens out with a sofa and kitchen bit with big doors on to the balcony. It's got a cute oven that sits on top of the work surface with 3 rings on the top of it. Yiayia showed me how to make the Greek coffee for my wake up. I boil it IN a metal jug on the hob! That TV is ace as well. So old. Lots of channels with Greeks talking too fast for comprehension, but I found a film last night in English with the weird Greek subtitles along the bottom. I really really want to learn this amazing language.
oh Dad's calling me (well knocking on the wall and now he's on the balcony next door calling me)….I'll be back….

Easter Break…and what happened before
April 1, 2013
Oh my life. What a fortnight!
Just to say that it has been completely crazy.
Some bad shit has happened. Namely the worst being that Lee's Dad has lost his job. I don't know whether I've told you about Lee's parents, but they are really nice people and don't deserve this shit. Basically, Lee's Pops left the house to Lee's Dad many years ago as inheritance, but Lee told me that his Dad was taken ill and physically couldn't work and they almost had to sell it and move away. That was a year ago. Now he has just lost his job again so they are in deep shit. There are NO jobs around here, we are out in the middle of fuckety-nowhere, and luckily for my Dad they needed a Doctor so here WE are. Not so great for them though. Lisa has been round here crying, saying that they will have to sell the house. She doesn't want to leave here. Lee is really going out of his head with worry. He has seen his Dad almost go through a nervous break down and is concerned it might happen again. My Dad has been round there talking to his Dad and checking that he's keeping positive.
The offset of this is that Lee has had to find a part time job in London to support himself. I didn't see a lot of him for 3 days as he was going round people he knows asking about work. He has found a job in a pub. Not ideal, but I guess better than having to give up Uni altogether.
I am writing this as lee is getting ready to go back to London. I am beyond gutted right now. I expected to be spending my whole two weeks with him and it was going to be frickin awesome. We had been talking about it for ages, working out our plans for him climbing up to my window at night and all that. He has to work. End of.
And typically, my parents are NOT HERE now and we should have had the house to ourselves. They have gone to Greece to see my Dad's M&D. Easter is a huge celebration out there and so they decided to go. They were pretty cool about me staying back here, although we had to go through the 'Lee doesn't sleep in your room under any circumstances' bollocks. Of course he did, though!
So I am all over the place because I am going to Greece TOMORROW!!! My Gran and Pops are getting here in about an hour and tomorrow they are taking me to East Midlands Airport! I am well excited but I WANT TO BE WITH LEE.
My stuff is almost packed. Dad keeps calling me to check up on me and he has told me that it's not that warm there so no swimsuits needed. Shame. It's gonna be so cool! It will be weird to meet my Greek Yiayia and Papous (Granny and Grandad) and we won't be able to talk much. I have learned kalimera, (good morning) hairetai, (nice to meet you) and ti kanete yiayia/papous (how are you doing gran/grandad).
So, here I am. Suitcase and contents strewn all over my room, Lee heading back here in about 10 minutes to say goodbye and then my Pops is arriving. Chester will go to Lee's and Lisa will walk him. Oh man….I will write another blog but I don't know when. I am obviously taking my laptop for skyping with Lee although Dad says Papous hasn't got internet and Lee will be working til crap knows what time of the nights from now on.
Thessaloniki, please take my mind off all this…………..

The LCD screen on my droid will not turn on at all. It is a seemingly annoying black screen. The soft button lights still work completely as do the back lights on the LCD screen. Basically, is this an issue that can be fixed or do I have to just go ahead and buy a new phone?

Is your real estate investment strategy evolving? Learn how Nabeel Mahmud has progressed from single family to Multifamily.
Since his youth, Nabeel has been an entrepreneur. In grade school, he sold his extra halloween candy. In junior high, he developed an internet bulletin board and sold access to his friend. Today, he is growing his real estate portfolio while working a corporate job.
His progression is impressive. He started with a single family, added a duplex, then a quad plex and now an 18 unit multifamily property.
He credits his ability to grow in multiples to applying the systems he learned in his corporate to his real estate investments. He developed a template and systems for his real estate and continues to improve and use with each successive deal.
His long term goal is to acquire enough income from real estate to replace his corporate job and win the time flexibility not afforded from a corporate job.
Most recently, Nabeel entered into a contract to purchase an 18 unit apartment.
Rather that call on the old listings, Nabeel reversed the process.
He first identified a property he wanted. The property was desirable because of its location and the well kept grounds and exterior. Recognizing the high level of care on the outside, he assumed it would carry to the interior.
The building was not listed for sale, so he approached the owner to see if he was interested in selling. The owner said, "no".
A year later, Nabeel followed up with the building owner. To Nabeel's surprise, this time, the owner said he was ready to sell.
After some brief conversations, they recognized that they were on the same page regarding price. Next, the seller wanted confirmation of finances from Nabeel to proceed. This was reasonable, and Nabeel provided the requested information.
The due diligence period ensued, with inspection, financing, and confirmation of the seller records.
When we recorded this conversation, they were two weeks away from closing.
For more contact Nabeel at:email@example.com

Long ago, legions of monstrous creatures called Kaiju arose from the sea, bringing with them all-consuming war. To fight the Kaiju, mankind developed giant robots called Jaegers, designed to be piloted by two humans locked together in a neural bridge. However, even the Jaegers are not enough to defeat the Kaiju, and humanity is on the verge of defeat. Mankind's last hope now lies with a washed-up ex-pilot (Charlie Hunnam), an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) and an old, obsolete Jaeger.
