Canada is the second largest country (landmass) in the world! Travel distance from coast to coast is over 6,500 kilometers. Earlier this week, truckers from the west started a “freedom convoy”, driving across Canada in protest of government-imposed vaccine passports and mandates.
Prime Minister Trudeau smugly referred to this movement as a “small minority fringe group with unacceptable views.” May I remind you Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau that you were elected to a position of power by the people. You are not God, not king, not emperor, just a duly elected public figure. May I also remind you that your MINORITY government was elected (to use your own words) by a “small minority fringe group”, having received only 33.1% of the public vote. You can and will be replaced.
Oddly the media, as well as government has downplayed this movement, suggesting the number of truckers involved is only “about 10,000.” What you have failed to report, what the media has failed to report is the millions of people who have braved viciously cold temperatures to show their support. The highways for thousands of kilometers are lined with cars, trucks, people, all cheering on this brave group. Every overpass is jammed with flag waving Canadians showing their support. If you are that blind to what the public is telling you, you are a danger to that office and should remove yourself immediately.
I had not planned to post again, but yesterday at 2.00 pm when I watched a CTV News reporter giving a “fake news” report in front of Parliament, I was disgusted. The report showed a few aimless souls wandering around in the background, leaving one with the impression that the movement was a dud. Well fake news company, the above image taken by my daughter Missy actually gives the truth about what was happening on Parliament Hill.
So Justin, in your lust to remain and hold power, here is a speech that I freely give and suggest you use:
“Dear fellow Canadian’s, I sincerely apologize for the brainless and stupid comments that I have made recently. Please forgive me.”
PS - a word of caution:
The government of Nova Scotia has warned anyone that shows support for the Freedom Convoy by stopping along the higways, they will be issuing up to $10,000,00 fines for individuals and up to $100,000.00 for corporations.
UPDATE:
Knowing that thousands of protesters were showing up in Ottawa, Prime Minister Trudeau went into a 5 day hibernation because he was apparently "exposed to someone who had covid". Today from Tofino, British Columbia, he claims (in spite of the fact that he is vaccinated up the Yazoo) to have contracted the virus.
Please explain to the Canadian public Justin T, how after having "been exposed" and having "contracted the virus" all within the last 5 days (when you were supposedly self isolating in Ottawa), how did you manage to travel over 5,000 kilometers to the far side of Canada? Either you are a liar or an extreme coward.... In either case Mr. Hypocrite, you should be removed from office...
UPDATE:
Apparently our Leader did not hide out in BC but continues to hunker down in his hide-out.
Odd name for a German Shorthaired Pointer we think, but my oldest daughter and her husband have never neen conventional. Gus was a sweet 75 pound low-key hunting dog. He's gone now, and was "replaced" by Cooper, another German Shorthair with quite a different temperment. Cooper is okay until you get him on a leash, and then you're in for a ride.
In our walks, my wife and I meet about 10 people walking their dogs every night. None are that well-behaved but about half are adorable, and from experience, adorable dogs and woosy owners (us) make for poorly trained animals. Right now my wife and I are in love with a five pound cockapoo or something like that. It's apricot. After two nights, he knows us and must say hello. Well, five pounds, tail wagging uncontrollably, ajust jumping about to my knees is adorable. Cooper at almost 80 pounds can be dangerous. It's easy to be a hypocrite when you're comparing dogs. I love 'em all, but some more than others.
So, for this Dog Day Monday, enjoy Gus.
Dolly got it immediately. “Don’t start me on the liver fluke”, they baah’d. They had heard Ruin say more or less the same about the HIV virus, that it was a driver. James rejected the shame relative to that cloud around those types of infections called venereal, that hypocritical blaming and moralising which set them apart. He loved Maupassant’s reaction, his outcry. But that too was probably the spirochete talking. What is defined as madness needs expression too, that extreme perimeter describes the whole
According to James, all life, from the virus, through every species and manifestation up to and including ourselves, and beyond, is equal, and striving towards proliferating itself, celebrating life itself.
The cures are, of course, 'drivers' too.
“Soon mercury will be my staple diet. My hair is beginning to grow again . . . the hair on my arse is sprouting. . . . I’ve got the pox! at last! the real thing! not the contemptible clap, not the ecclesiastical crystalline, not the bourgeois coxcombs or the leguminous cauliflowers—no—no, the great pox, the one which (King) Francis I died of. The majestic pox, pure and simple; the elegant syphilis . . . I’ve got the pox . . . and I am proud of it, by thunder, and to hell with the bourgeoisie. Allelujah, I’ve got the pox, so I don’t have to worry about catching it anymore."

Reflection on CCC 847 (LG 16: cf. DS 3866-3872)
“Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their coscience-those too may achieve eternal salvation.”
This is not my first encounter with this quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but for some reason it brings me great comfort, as though a great burden has been removed from my shoulders. What kind of burden, you may ask? Speaking from my perspective: I do not have to judge the state of someone’s relationship with God outside the Catholic Church. In the spirit of this quote, one of my favorite passages on the topic of judging is Matthew 7:1-5, where it states:
"Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye."
To link my opening quote with this scripture is quite a stretch, but remember, I am not focusing on the person outside of myself…but myself. What is the state of my own heart in relationship to God? What are the defects within myself that impede this relationship? I do know what the Gospel is at least from the context of my Catholic faith. I am blessed to be aware that I still seek God with a sincere heart and that all the knowledge I have is a gift of grace. Because Christ is the model for which I base my life, I can follow the dictates of my conscience. This means I know what the beams are in my own life, and I worry less about the splinters that I see in others-this is humility.
However, because I am a servant, I know that I am commissioned to preach the Gospel to others. This would include those who are not in relationship with Christ, or those who have rejected Christ for various reasons, which can be valid. To reach out to others, I hope that it is not me that is reaching out…but Christ through me. I must decrease and HE must increase in me.

"Junk, fuck"
A good night, the best in a long time
A new friend turned me on to an old favorite
Nothing better than a dealer who's high
Be high, convince them to buy, yeah
What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot
Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm
Running their boring drills
But we are an elite race of our own
The stoners, junkies, and freaks
Are you happy? I am, man
Content and fully aware
Money, status, nothing to me
'Cause your life's empty and bare, yeah
What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot
I do it a lot, yeah
You can't understand a user's mind
But try, with your books and degrees
If you let yourself go and opened your mind
I'll bet you'd be doing like me
And it ain't so bad
What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot.....

falling too fast to prepare for this
tripping in the world could be dangerous
everybody circling, it's vulturous
negative, nepotist
everybody waiting for the fall of man
everybody praying for the end of times
everybody hoping they could be the one
i was born to run, i was born for this
always had a fear of being typical
looking at my body feeling miserable
always hanging on to the visual
i wanna be invisible
looking at my years like a martyrdom
everybody needs to be a part of 'em
never be enough, i'm the prodigal son
i was born to run, i was born for this
whip, whip
run me like a racehorse
pull me like a ripcord
break me down and build me up
i wanna be the slip, slip
word upon your lip, lip
letter that you rip, rip
break me down and build me up
whatever it takes
cause i love the adrenaline in my veins
i do whatever it takes
cause I love how it feels when i break the chains
whatever it takes
you take me to the top, i'm ready for
whatever it takes
cause i love the adrenaline in my veins
i do what it takes
hypocritical, egotistical
don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
working onto something that i'm proud of, out of the box
an epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost
i'm an apostrophe
i'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see
i'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe
and yet a masterpiece, and yet i'm half-diseased
and when i am deceased
at least i go down to the grave and die happily
leave the body of my soul to be a part of me
i do what it takes
whatever it takes
cause i love the adrenaline in my veins
i do whatever it takes
cause I love how it feels when i break the chains
whatever it takes
you take me to the top, i'm ready for
whatever it takes
cause i love the adrenaline in my veins
i do what it takes
I'm so tired. Geez.
I hate that word so much. I hate to be always tired. I hate unnecessary knowledge, too. I hate to hate. I am a hypocrite.

Matthew 16:2-3, King James Version
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Gospel of Matthew 16:2-3, King James Version.
Passengers
Elton John
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
To make a chain of fools
You need a matching pair
One hypocritical fool
And a crowd that's never there
There's anger in the silence
There's wheels upon the jail
A black train built of bones
On a copper rail
Did something a little different for me this morning at stupid o clock. Went to downtown Minto to shoot a burnt out carwreck, conveniently (for us) dumped beside the trainline.
Thanks to my mate Paul, who is an avid train fan, we rocked up to the location well before sunrise, and started shooting, as the trains passed the shell of the car. Paul had a notebook, with the exact times the trains were leaving the two train stations, either side of the wreck, which allowed us to save on battery, switch the cameras on 1 min before the trains arrived at our exact spot, check our settings for the correct shutter speed, and press the trigger as the trains passed. Too easy really tbh.
Took 4 shots, and that was a wrap. Easiest shoot I've been on in ages.
Hope you like "Passengers"
Cheers, Mike

This picture has been screaming from within my head and with tea and toast it is done. Seville Oranges in Scottish Marmalade have answer the intrusive inspiration with this completion. Obviously another idea is now demanding immediate attention. These are my good times and the others are not at all goodly. Nature never lets us down if we can wait for the good times to come along and are then ready to enjoy them when they do come along.
There is what I am describing as a Templar Bread and Butter Pudding in the oven with a crunchy Croix Pattée in place and potential for either a Spiral of Sanctity [Power Crunch], or Labyrinth of Locating to be added upon the Final Firing. Please note my liberal idea of Templar peace keepers might not be your notions of them. Hopefully the next so far unanswered idea that is starting now to shout a little will be answered through the protection of Αιξ / Aix / Aex the Very New World Fruity and Old World Spicy Bread and Butter Pudding maybe a glory to behold.
The Pentland Hills are magnificent and here is a share of their beauty.
The Very New World Fruity and Old World Spicy Templar Bread and Butter Pudding shielded and nurtured via Αιξ / Aix / Aex is Glutten Free, Butter Free and free of other things and also free if you can get to Penicuik before I finish it. I have demolished a corner with Goat Yoghurt as a part of the rearing and trading that the Templar economy engendered. I could be thinking of Shaman in Mail and Plate instead of Colonising Thugs that some see.

Gospel Movie Clip | "Break Through the Snare" (7) - How God Saves Man From the Influence of Satan
Introduction
The Bible says, "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God" (1 Peter 4:17). In the last days, Almighty God
expresses all the truth which purifies and saves man and He shows to us His righteous, majestic and inviolable disposition. God's work of judgment in the last days is done to save man so they can break away from the influence of Satan and truly turn back to God. All God's chosen people who accept Almighty God's work of judgment all gradually come to see clearly the factual truth that the pastors and elders' service of God actually defies God, see clearly their hypocritical and truth-hating antichrist natures and therefore they break away from the confusion and control of the pastors and elders and truly return before God. By listening to God's chosen people's Testimonies
of their experiences of judgment before the seat of Christ, you will be brought to an understanding of God's work of judgment in the last days.

For 'Macro Sundays — In the Kitchen'
This photo was accepted, then refused by 'Macro Sundays', and I've been removed from the group by Dominique Robert, its administrator, without any communication.
I cannot recommend that you join this group, as its Administrator is a flagrant hypocrite with a huge ego.
December is upon us! The chill has swept through and as the song says, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!" ;-)
This is without a doubt my favorite time of year! The kid in me will never stop being amazed by this holiday season. It's the one time of the year people all over feel compelled to be happy and compassionate.
I don't care if you think they're hypocrites or whatever, this time of year turns the most Scrooge person into a soft hearted person - and I'll take it!
So...now that it's December 1st, let's do this!!!
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah
Good god your comin' up with reasons
Good god your dragging it out
Good god its the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped
So follow me down
And just fake it if your out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong
Fake it if you feel like a infection
Woah your such a fuckin' hypocrite
And you should know that the lies wont hide your falls
No sense in hiding all of yours
You gave up on your dreams along the way
Yeah
Plenty of chairs still waiting for transporting hopefuly in good condition, related to that talked to one of the workers moving stuff away from this building today and what he said because of vandalism they have lost estimated one million euros worth of stuff. So if you like to visit places like these it would be good to consider the person owning the furniture etc. Saying that makes me kinda hypocrite since i like graffiti but destroying windows, furniture and that kind of random vandalism is really not my cup of tea.
More photos and videos from this building at album called 80's office building.
Nature gives us an amazing amount of wonders and within her bounty we find similarities upon which we decide to have reflections and those can lead us on to further investigation with wondrous revelations. The figure created by the silhouette of The Pentland Hills is an amazing sight and she can transform her image from different positions even appearing as if she is pregnant from one vantage. Here Mono and Colour are used to give a further insight into the Sleep Skyline Figure that may have been seen as a Goddess, as Geology in transition and also held so many regards that have been given and lost even as she is found in the landscape today and will with weathering and other developments over many, many years be seen as something vastly different than she appears today.

"Unh, look
I'm a real rare individual
I'm in the physical and the metaphysical (yeah)
I know you need your alone time, that's critical
But I need some of your time, is that hypocritical?
Damn, you know I relate to you more than fam
So I won't sit around and let you sink in quicksand
Look, I know you got million dollar plans
And you tryna build a brand, live a life in high demand
Swerving big b's, your bag got little G's
Gucci down to the socks like Biggie and Little Ceas'
Let's hit the Maldives and hide behind palm trees
Little red wine, weed, and a calm breeze
Cause baby, you been living life inside a bubble
When the last time you had somebody hug you?
Hold up, when the last time you had somebody love you?
Hold up, when the last time you love someone who love you?"
I'm sick and tired of all this hate.
I know the whole "how would you feel?" question is cliche, but honestly, just think about it.
I saw this pic on Flickr. It's a little old, but it's the perfect example.
It's stupid for haters to hate on someone. Not unless they had a valid reason.
"she can't sing, she's a whore, etc." Really? That's just showing how immature they can be.
Okay. And this also goes for Miley.
my opinion: well, I don't love her. But I would never go so far as to call her a whore, or make some stupid picture of her bald. (yes, I did see that. crazy people.) it's just showing people how seriously stupid they can be, and to some it will make them seem like they have to put down others just to gain a little self-respect.
there is no self-respect if you have to do that. that's just being mean and completely heartless.
As for Demi, yes, I do love her. And some people will say 'there is no old Demi, there is no old Miley."
but there is. and no, I don't expect that they would stay the same little girl, and have all this innocence. but I do miss the old them.
Demi is one of my idols when it comes to singing. As for Miley, I don't love her anymore. But back then, I absolutely adored her. and for some reason, it kind of hurt when my cousins disliked me for liking her.
And I know you're gonna say it's stupid that I get hurt a little when some random person I don't know disses my favorite role model, even though they don't know me.
But as a true fan to them, we are supposed to support them every step of the way.
Plus, I got to admit, the girl is gorgeous. Especially when she's got natural makeup on. (: (same with demi & Selena)
- - - -
now for my opposing reasons to the list of things that makes these commenters hate Selena.
She can't sing: well, that's not necessarily true. She's not the best singer, but she's improving. And she said herself that she wants her music just to be something that kids will have fun to. She can sing a lot better than a lot of people. Everyone can sing if they can carry a tune. it may have been electronically edited at first, but seriously she is improving. day by day. "practice makes perfect."
she can't act: are you kidding me? ha. Need I remind you that her show got an Emmy/Alma award? yeah. and the WOWP movie got 4 stars; that is very good for a disney movie & show. and if you've seen the scene in the movie after her and Justin battle, that is skills right there. To cry on the spot, I mean.
she's a wanna-be: really? how? please do explain that to me. she's her own person. honestly, I want to be like her, because she's one awesome chick. so if you're gonna call anyone a wanna-be, call me one.
she's a poser: again, how? for being 'punk'? ha. she's not trying. I don't think she was even punk. not even back then. she just liked dressing up in mismatched colors and converse. lol. that's seen a lot.
she used Demi to get famous: lolol. tbh, some people will argue that it is Demi who used Selena. kay, that sounds mean, but actually it is somewhat a fact. Selena was asked for a callback for Wizards. she moved to Disney, and Demi's mom and family went because Demi & Selena didn't want to be separated. Selena was discovered first, but then Demi was discovered as well. So, she helped her become famous. durr. They're best friends, what did you expect? xD (thank you had you given me the chance to say "I do". )
she's conceited: wow, these reasons make me laugh. someone conceited is someone who doesn't think about others, at all. who is always, always thinking about only themself.
wow. no, Selena is pretty much opposite from that. she's done at least.. 4 charities this year. at least. she even spent time with some of the kids she's helped out with. actually, a whole day with two of them. she even spent time to help make a video about a charity for dogs. and even visited them and fed them, along with her friend/costar Jake.
- - - - -
basically, just stop. STOP THE HATE.
and I know a lot of people who hate Miley, Selena, & Demi are pretty much people who dislike Disney.
but when you think about it, they have to like something outside of Disney, right?
so really, they shouldn't hate on these girls, when they know they get pissed when someone would hate on their favorite person/role model(s).
it's hypocritical.
it's mean.
it's hurtful.
tbh, I think it makes people seem like they're just this beast who has no heart, like, at all.
& I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but you don't have to go so far. think about if you were put in their situation. And it'd be nice if people could really understand that we all do have feelings and that we aren't perfect.
what even sucks more for these haters, I bet a lot of these celebs could care less about what they think. (;
"You hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." - Matthew chapter 7 verse 5.
Hah hah... look at me... quoting the bible! I suppose there is a first time for everything? :)
I woke up feeling very creative this morning... so I decided to see if I could create a composite image that would be both unusual and eye-catching.
This is what I managed to come up with after approximately 5 hours of playing around in Photoshop.
Pancakes are indeed are a "once-in-a-while treat" for me. It's not just the actual pancakes that make me crave pancakes, it's other breakfast items that are commonly paired with the pancakes.
Question:"Why not just get the other items separately? and skip the pancakes?"
Why would I want to do that? No one orders a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and asks only for the interior contents of the concoction. Pancakes are paired well with an array of items that are to provide the necessary sustenance of a typical lumberjack seen on the television screen. Someone like me who likes to touts how important it is not to spike one's insulin levels so early in the morning am being hypocritical in this debate, yes, but we're only human. And we need to live it up once in a while, so why not do so and have pancakes with your saturated fats. I say, eat away and enjoy! We can go back to our healthier lifestyles tomorrow.

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
And then georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on thru,
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I seh little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry.

With more than 50 sanctions from JewSA, how can you buy any food for the people, no money, no goods... How hypocrite just for stealing the oil...
There are many aspects of our sense of self and many fragments that lead up to a whole. When you drop a delicate glass and it shatters, you see all of the pieces that make up that simple structure that holds liquid. Just imagine how many pieces are inside of each of us, just as fragile and susceptible to damage.
Each year, I make some changes to my life. I wouldn't call them New Year's Resolutions (though I do try to make a couple of those) because they don't always happen on the new year. I yearn to be a flawless person and I've always realized how finite our time spans on Earth are...and so, I don't like to waste any time that I'm given, either when trying to make the world a better place or in terms of trying to make myself into a better person, someone I can respect and love when I Iook in the mirror. 2015 was a year filled with changes for me and, instead of doing a top 10 or 20 or 25 live shows, I thought maybe I would do something different this year instead.
1. Photography:
I have many identities, if you must know. Some call these roles but when your roles in life define you, it seems to become a little more than that. In other words, if you lose one role, like your role as an artist, you will probably have something along the lines of a nervous breakdown, where you question who you are and want to jump out of the window. That's how strongly I identify with myself as a photographer. I've been doing this for 20 years now and I started in the dark room with film and a ton of time and creative youthful energy.
I really haven't changed yet in terms of my yearning to be a part of the collective consciousness that defines us as human beings and wanting to redeem it. There are so many harmful things that bring us all down...we have allowed the rich to get stronger and the poor to become many. We have turned our backs on our sisters and brothers. We no longer recognize them in the street.
More importantly, photography is a sort of art therapy for me. I've been going to a very helpful Sleep Therapist recently to help with my insomnia. He has me rate the stress in my life on a 0-5 scale. 5 is the highest and 0 is literally no stress. After about 5 visits, on our last visit in December, my sleep therapist pointed out to me how he thought it was interesting that I never rated my stress level for each day a 5 even though I often reported that my job was the cause of much dismay. I explained, "That's because, no matter how stressed I am, I realize I have to keep perspective. 5 is genocide. 5 is I am raped and nearly murdered and my family is murdered in front of me. 5 is someone opens their door on me while bicycling and I'm in the hospital and am told I will never walk again or breathe without a machine. If 5 is the worst thing that can happen to a person, I hope I never see it." Did I mention I'm intense?
Anyway, I digress...photography helps me cope with all of the sadness I feel when I think that we're all doomed and uniquely flawed in a way that doesn't allow us to change our mistakes, to make ourselves better, to find redemption. I don't mean religious redemption, either. I just mean that we realize we were each given a unique potential and the failure to live up to this is a black mark upon all of us.
I've made some changes regarding photography and my identity this year. When I started photographing with digital over film in 2006, it opened up some previously unexplored possibilities for me. I've always loved music and concerts and so, increasingly more, I started photographing my favorite bands. I still do so and continue to love it but I feel a sadness in the thought that I'll be be pigeonholed as merely a "concert photographer" when the day is done. More than anything, I have always yearned to capture life at the end of the day. I'm a searcher and I'm searching for the qualities that show us as overcoming all of our past atrocities, as better than all that. There is something in a gesture that Milan Kundera understood...a gesture can be linked to identity and can be it's own greatest art form. I'm a huge fan of animals but the gestures that humans make can actually take my breath away.
I see more views, favorites, comments, etc. when I post a concert photo and I appreciate those but, at the end of the day, I am part of Flickr because I want to grow as a photographer and I don't want to die with people thinking all I ever did was stand alongside 15 other people taking photos of the same musicians at the exact same time. I think that's why I haven't really missed scaling back on shows and festivals overall this year. I still love Levitation/Austin Psych Fest the very best (it's my type of music!) and I still enjoy live shows...but if I am photographing bands, I want to be doing so to promote their creativity and their presence in the world so not necessarily the bands everyone has already heard of in other words.
I realize I'm not the best street or portrait photographer in the world but it takes time to develop and, just like it took time for me to develop as a concert photographer, I have made more of a commitment to devoting time and energy to this endeavor. It's painful to me when I try to be part of a community of street photographers and I feel rejected or condescended to. I have music within me and I sing in my own way. Right now, this is where my heart is leading me.
2. Vegan
When I was 13, it finally occurred to me that it was perhaps more than a little hypocritical to identify myself as an animal lover and then eat them. Back then, I pretty much lived on vegetarian vegetable cans of Progresso soup and it was a challenge to live as a vegetarian in upstate NY not because I enjoyed the taste of meat but because I had a lack of options for my own nutrition. I also had to learn the hard way about taking B vitamin and iron supplements or I'd be feeling weak and/or faint all day long. Pretty soon, though, being a vegetarian became a part of the very fabric of my being and was one of the first things I mentioned. It definitely made me more healthy but it also made me feel like I was a person with integrity.
Of course, not as much was known in 1992 about the environmental implications of being vegetarian and, even more so, vegan. When you're facing food scarcities, using all fertile land in the most optimal way to feed the approaching 7 billion people on this planet seems less like radical ideology and more just like plain common sense.
At least in America, vegan cheeses, yogurts, sorbets, milks, butters, and even egg substitutes have seen remarkable growth. Not so long ago, vegan cheese tasted like play-doh and was absolutely disgusting. We've come a long way, especially in the last three years. I've never been a fan of Daiya, though I appreciate their history in the market, but I am a fan of Heidi-Ho vegan cheese made from chia seeds. Kite Hill, Punk Rawk cheese, Treeline cheese and Mykononos cheese are all fantastic vegan options. In addition, each city (even my own small home town city of Rochester, NY with the amazing vegan restaurant Vive) seems to be developing it's own artisan vegan cheeses. To be clear, these are "cheeses" I wouldn't even realize were vegan. In Chicago, we have Feed Your Head, Teese, Chicago Raw, and Soul Veg. which are amazing-as well as several restaurant options.
When I think about the process in America of separating the young calves from their mothers and killing male chickens, I think about the stress hormones that get transferred from animal to your food. I also think about the rise in quite a few life threatening allergies...some of this may be related to pollution but maybe some of it is related to animals. I became a vegetarian way before epidemics like "Mad Cow Disease" but this disease isn't exactly a compelling argument to continue to eat any animal products for me.
There is going to come a time when we can no longer be dependent on animals for any food source. I don't know when that exact year is...if I had to guess, it will probably be well before I reach old age (if I do reach it). Let's say 2040. Animal products will be unreliable and even toxic. If you'd like for some reasonable substitutes and would, in the meantime, like to become a healthier and more productive human, I would recommend becoming vegan sooner than later. Again, I'm not a radical. I'm not a trend setter. However, I am a person who likes to think I can see trends and has some common sense. Many thanks to my friend and photographer Lindsey Best for opening my eyes and giving me a needed push in the right direction. I hope my words here find you well and you are open minded enough to consider them for yourself and for the future of the world.

3. Sleep
Being an insomniac started to usurp my identity or components of it for a couple of decades. Ever since I became addicted to Nyquil in high school after a cold, I have struggled on and off with insomnia. My most recent dependency as an adult was 3 Ibuprofen PM AND 3 Melatonin. I have a great deal of anxiety and stress related to work and I found I couldn't sleep without this combination. But then, I had an even more of a problem which was that even this combination wasn't doing the trick. Your body habituates over time and you feel extremely abnormal. You start to really worry about the damage you might be doing to your kidneys, for instance, and start to feel helpless. There are only so many times I can have a panic attack in the middle of the night before I realize I probably need to gather some gumption and actually see a medical professional about it.
This summer/August, I started to see a sleep therapist in Chicago. It was a big change for me because it finally spoke to the idea that I wanted to truly change my life. I've gone through phases of extreme struggle because, like my mother, I feel more creative in the wee hours of the night. I've also gone through phases where I truly viewed being an insomniac as "cool." But, at 3am, when you're sweating profusely, wondering how you're going to get through the next day at work, and wondering if you're racing heart signifies that you'll soon be having a heart attack, you realize this is anything but "cool." While it's true it's helpful to have deep experiences to become a better artist and feel connected to all aspects of the world, it's also very true that you're not helpful to anyone on Earth as a creative entity or otherwise if you're dead.
Fast forward 6 months later. I now sleep at least 6 hours most nights without any sleep aids...this is a big deal for me! When I say a "big deal" what I mean specifically is that if you had told me in August that I would be here in January, I would have thought you were suggesting the impossible. And yet, this is my new reality and, instead of identifying myself based on the sleep I did or didn't get the night before, I have begun to identify myself as the person who can do more with a little more sleep and feeling proud of myself for the progress I have made. Again, I am nowhere near the perfect and flawless human being I would like to be but this is a huge part of becoming better and doing more in the world each day I'm alive.
4. Neuroscience
I've always liked nonfiction in moderation but 2015 especially saw me struggling with some new cases at work where I felt I needed to learn more to become better and, what this inevitably boiled down to is learning more about the human brain and the capacity for change. Even when I was going to university for my degree back in NY in 2001, it was a widespread belief that the human brain was plastic only to a certain point following an injury like a stroke and that if progress didn't occur within the first 6months or so afterwards, the idea that the patient could grow was probably just a little too optimistic.
What neuroscientists have found most recently is that this is actually really false and, even more so, could be obviously damaging to the patient's progress when the doctors and therapists embrace this line of thinking. Neuroscientists have also learned so much more about mental illness, physical disabilities, Autism and other sensory disorders. This is one of the most exciting adventures you can have-realizing even how much potential we have to change and being inspired to change because of it. I've tried to make myself more trilingual, more of an optimist, and more filled with the kindness and empathy related to the struggles people have.
I would highly recommend checking out the following authors/works:

"Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say" ♫♫♫
Monti Sibilini, 2011
It might be hard for young people or even middle aged people to understand why scenes like this one in rural Indiana and rural America are heartbreaking for someone like me to see. The reasons are numerous. Of course, there is the nostalgia. I had my first haircut in a barber shop much like this one. A little boy's first haircut is a big deal that they often never forget. More than the nostalgia, I am disturbed by the loss of the small town magic that I experienced as a child -- and the fact that it no longer exists as it did in the 1950's and 1960's. That magic was mostly centered around the sense of community that existed in self-sufficient small towns, where one could get pretty much everything they needed without having to leave town. And most concerning to me, I realize there is a good chance no one cares much anymore about who Mr. Voyles was or that his barber shop and store are gone. We are living in an era where compassion for those around us is evaporating -- if you want to hear a great new song about that very subject, listen to "Jasper" on Stephanie Lambring's new album "Hypocrite". If you want to learn a little bit more about "community", try listening to Tyson Martin's podcast "The Life of Phys". We are losing our sense of community and our compassion for one another. When we've lost those things for good, there won't be anything left.

“China Bamboo Ink” became one of my absolute favourites in an eyeblink when I arrived to SL more than a decade ago.
Then the wonderful skybox disappeared.
Then I discovered the art of Fiona Fei at the One Billion Rising event for the first time.
Then… I felt at home again among the bamboo.

***
When cancer kills off two thirds of your close family.
When you sincerely dedicate yourself, your time, your loyalty, your imagination, to The Cause in RL and SL. When you support, promote, connect people, busy yourself, obey the instructions of your superiors like a nice girl scout selflessly volunteering to sell cookies to grumpy pensioners, come rain or shine. For The Cause.
When you are diagnosed with The Big C yourself.
When a little while later you realize quite many prominent promoters of The Cause principally care about their inflated egos, private business revenues in order to finance their next RL touristy trip around the globe, and play condescending benefactors along the line, “We are the good generous rich white Western guys, behold and be grateful, Africa!” A close-knit self-promoting cabal pretending to be Lady Bountiful, supported by a choir of sycophants who know their business will be damaged if they do not play along.
When you call out some of the hypocrites and you suddenly are The Devil, Satan, Thanos, all kneaded together, to be eliminated by some narrow-minded Bible Belt bigots.
When you finally realize all this does not matter anymore. What really matters is the smell of April rain in your RL garden, the fact that you can hug your RL love any time you want to, that the tomato seeds you planted a few weeks ago are in fact germinating and promising you some lovely pizzas in late August.
Then your life is starting to become more and more like an amazing minimalist Chinese ink painting. A few transparent brush strokes, a few colours. When it is a handful of little things that matter the most, and matter at all. The rest is fluff.

Jack White - Hypocritical Kiss
"My temper got the best of me
And when I said that I mean
A know every single thing that I said was true
And I know that you're mad at me
But if you're thinking like I,
I think you'll see that you're mad at you too
And I know the feeling's strong
Strong enough to forget about all that I've been through
And it sounds obscene, but
Loud words never bothered me like they do to you
You're the boy that talks but says nothin'
A big game to the ones that you think will believe you
But you don't know how to read
The look on my face when it says, yeah I've read that book too
And who the hell's impressed by you?
I want a name for people that I know who are fallin' for this
You would sell your own mother out
And then betray your dead brother with another hypocritical kiss."

Things change, as well as people. But to be honest, if you're all the same, rude, selfish, self absorbed, egotistical fucking wankers, then i would rather be alone, than have anything to do with you.
Hate IS a pretty strong word, and i probably don't mean it when i say it right now, at the height of my anger.
I'm in no way bitter, just fucking sane, and can see right through you. But can you see, that i see, you? Probably not, seeing as your so wrapped up in your own little fantasy.
Hypocritical, maybe a little bit. But essentially, deep down, inside my hole of a heart, i have a lot of love. But im just afraid to show it. Afraid to tell people, no, you how i feel. Afraid to show a weak point, a weak spot, a place for you to play with my head. No, i won't let that happen. Leave me to my fantasy's, my day dreams, my nightmares, where only you and me will ever be together.
Just because, i'm afraid.
More Eye On Orion The Hunter On Pre-Morn Sky As Day Hunts The Night & Fate Hunts Us All - IMRAN™
What words can I use to describe this moment that one glance at this image wouldn't render insufficient? You can clearly make out Orion, and the belt, as well as Sirius burns super-bright in Canis Major. Towards the top left Procyon is shining proud.
How incredibly blessed I am to be alive, living in this bright white corner of our tiny planet earth, is something I could not give enough thanks for. The planet earth itself so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, as all these galaxies, and star clusters, dwarf our very existence, the world itself is lucky to still be a living planet.
Yet, so many of us do not even stop to look up into the heavens and see these mind-blowing sights like Orion (The Hunter) and so many other heavenly bodies routinely passing around us. Nor do we bow our heads in gratitude enough at even having the opportunity to have lived at all, much less all that we have experienced.
Orion and its companions continue to hunt for the end of time, until the end of time, disappearing from view even from the light of our Sun hunting the night, every night. Even our Sun, a mere nothing in the eyes of even of any one of the galaxies visible to the naked eye, would not miss one tiny flaming burst of Hydrogen when Fate, the eternal hunter of all of us, catches up with us. That is when our souls pierce places beyond the stars that even our living eyes with all our telescopes cannot peer at.
Yet we walk amongst our peers, looking down on others as if we are superior to others. We act as if we are made of more precious materials than others, when in fact we are all nothing but the same exact chemical dust and genetic miracle which came from stardust that we cannot even look up far enough to see the source of.
So, tonight, every night, peer into yourself and see what you find... a heart brighter than the brightest burning star, or a black hole filled with hate and bigotry. No matter how many attach labels to you for fighting for what is right, saving the planet, making the world a better place, promoting equality, justice, kindness, and love, take humble pride in that shining light inside you.
If, however, you are a hate-monger, defending injustices, promoting hatred, spreading lies, no matter how many holy books you thump, or how boldly false witness you bear, how hypocritically you worship demagogic satanic creatures made of orange flesh, you know in your own dark heart that you are all the darkness that the universe despises. Is that how you want to end?
There is still time to embrace the light that may be within you. Embrace people who spread a message of tolerance, equality, justice, freedom, love, and humanity. I pray you will still embrace being a decent human being worthy of being one with the stars, not someone who belongs on the ash-heap of history.
Allah, the One God, creator of all this in the universe, regardless of the names he is called by various faiths, the master of the universe and holder of the container which contains the Universe itself, thank you for everything, every experience, every sight, even every awe-struck thought just from my looking up... to place More Eye On Orion The Hunter On Pre-Morn Sky As Day Hunts The Night & Fate Hunts Us All. Thank you, God.

Ironically hypocritical and Comically tragic in every way
That's my family
I can truly say
If another was so lucky
To own this set of bodies
They would never move away
And visit everyday!
Because we're all so close
That when someone has an overdose
Of who-knows-what we get on a plane!
Or take a fast train!
Yes! No one will ever say my Aunt doesn't care!
For when grandma's sick she's always there!
Post haste without a care
My uncle,the closest, is a genius
Sometimes I think his brain's too tedious
He's oh so cleanly
And oh so friendly
But I must disdain
that from when I said
This was my family
I was being a bit vague and wrong
You see it was sarcasm all along
So you figured it out
My family is really ironically hypocritical and comically tragic in every sense of the way
And on most good days
I sit here and wonder
Am I really related to the others??

Oh I know I’m going to get called names on this. But I’m not going to play that game anymore. Like the sign at one of the TEA parties that said “it doesn’t matter what this sign says, you going to call it racist anyway.” When even the lawsuits now being brought by 30 plus state AG’s is considered racist, it is time to stop playing that game.
I’m flipping outraged even more so by Obama’s “victory lap” where he pretends this crap-sandwich is what “The American People were begging for”. Not one bit of graciousness in his “victory” but that nose up arrogance as his Social Democrats were literally breaking out the champagne.
I expect this will also flush out the usual Stockholm-syndrome “conservatives” who wring their hands and say “oh you can’t say that! People will take offense!”
Heck, I want to shake them up. This is supposed to be a post-racial era? Then deal with the fact that the President of the United States is the head of a gang that just raped our American principles.
I made it a cartoon and not a photoshop and the “woman” is green. Deal, people.

60020 approaches March West Jn. with 6L73 Peak Forest - Ely Papworth Sidings loaded stone, running a little over two hours late.
Although once a pretty much daily class 60 working, by 2009 it was only running two or three times each week, and not always hauled by a 60. Several years later the contract transferred to GBRf. 60020 subsequently underwent overhaul and gained DB livery.
This is one from my first few months of digital photography, which coincided with me taking a break from full-time teaching. At the time I was very poor at recording what I'd photographed, realising that in most cases you could read the number from the image and relying on my memory as well as saved messages from the Yahoo! Groups gen lists. But the Yahoo! Groups archives are long gone, and the saved emails on a Blackberry which no longer works properly (but I can access if I try).
However, I easily found the details for this one as I sent it (and a load of others) to Freightmaster Publishing for use in their annual Loco Review book (in this case the 2010 edition, which looked back at 2009 - would it have made more sense for the edition to refer to the year being reviewed?). They used most of what I sent, although I was disappointed that not only was there no reproduction fee, but they didn't even send me a complimentary copy of the book (Marcus Dawson did, with his Trainspots series) and I had to buy a copy (£17.95), nor did they even acknowledge they'd used the images. And for an organisation which used to (still does?) complain about enthusiasts expecting to get gen over the internet for free, I thought this was rather hypocritical!

I realized the other day that I finally, albeit unknowingly, collected all of the Jabba-related minifigs Lego has produced so far, with the exception of The Rancor. So, I thought it'd be cool to get em all together and look at em year by year, and give a few of my thoughts.
2003: Man, I love the classics.
-For some reason that original C-3PO kicks me into full nostalgia mode.
-I also think it's interesting that TLG released a Jabba's Skiff the year before, but only included Han and Luke. I would be fascinated to see what a skiff guard from the year 2002 would look like.
-EV-9D9 is a weird character to make in my opinion, but honestly it's such a strange figure that I kind of love it. Nowadays it would probably have a molded head and not be nearly as cool.
2007: Most of you are aware how I feel about the 2007 Sail Barge set, but I cannot stress it enough: I love this set.
-Bib and Chewie are there for padding
-It's cool to see the classic Boba fig make the jump from Light Stone Grey and brown to Light Bluish Grey, and reddish brown, with more defined accents on his helmet.
-It's also kind of cool to see the main heroes jump from Yellow to Light Flesh so seamlessly, while still retaining that classic "Lego Star Wars" look. Honestly they almost look cleaner this way in my opinion.
2012-2017: Yeah kinda got guys from a few years in here
-I know most people like Modern Jabba better, but he just doesn't feel as imposing to me. He's much smaller, and honestly it looks to me like he's melting.
-The rest of the figs though. Oh man. Look, I love the classics and always will, but these modern figs, all together, looks absolutely stunning.
-It's amazing how far the faces of Lego Minifigures have come, especially in the case of Han.
-C-3PO is from the 2017 Landspeeder set.
-Bib Fortuna's face is nightmare fuel
-It might be hypocritical to say, with my love of Skiff Guards, but Ree-Yees seems like a damn weird character to have made. Mostly because he doesn't participate in any of the major battles, or really has any memorable screen time to speak of. Maybe if a few other weird members of Jabba's entourage had been made? I dunno.
-How great is that Salacious B Crumb fig though? Honestly, that's just delightful.
Anyways, not expecting heavy feedback on this one, I just wanted to see what they'd all look like compared, and it's pretty neat.
Let me know what you think!
Little girl what else I can do. I know you are little, u have big dreams, long way to go and um not sure how far u can go. Life is hard, tough and cruel. What could I do if u were my daughter. I am ashamed off for the comfort um enjoying. The society I belong is full with hypocrites. They talk lots of shit about child rights but they just ignore you. I have a strong intention to work on the condition of the boys and girls belongs to your commnity though um not sure whether my works would be recognized to anywhere. But at-least I can try and I will do it for u.
