In a truly exceptional location that is right in the centre of the city of Lleida stands the monumental complex of the hill of the Seu Vella. It is comprised of different buildings: the Seu Vella or old cathedral, the Castle of the King or Suda, the military fortification that surrounds the site and various archaeological remains that help us understand the present.
The volumes and profiles that it generates are an overview of the history of Lleida and the hill in particular. The strategic position of this hill, rising from a flat landscape and well communicated in all directions as well as the proximity of the River Segre, has resulted in uninterrupted occupation since ancient times. It is very likely that the Iberian Iltirta, the Roman Ilerda and the Muslim Larida lie under its subsoil, as well as the excellent gothic quarter that was growing majestically in medieval times. The Seu Vella and the Castle of the King are the most outstanding evidences.
Irreparable losses and undesirable applications would come with modern times and European-wide wars, when the entire hill would be desolated and in its place a military fortification that would gradually be built. The only two buildings that were not demolished, the cathedral and the castle, were transformed into gloomy military barracks, a use that would unfortunately last until 1948. Then a slow and encouraging restoration work began that is still underway.
The Seu Vella is the most outstanding building at the monumental complex that bears its name and its silhouette, the skyline of the city. It is the old cathedral of Lleida, but it is not alone. In the city centre, on Carrer Major, we find the Seu Nova, the new cathedral. The fate of one brought on the birth of the other.
Defined as one of the best artistic productions of 13th century Catalan architecture and, by extension, of European medieval architecture, the Seu Vella is a singular cathedral that leaves no one indifferent. Its architecture shares the limelight with high quality carvings that are preserved in capitals, cornices, corbels, portals, etc. The substantial remains of preserved mural paintings or the chapels built by prominent families or distinguished church members are a reflection of a prestigious building with a splendid past.
The Seu Vella cathedral is also steeped in history, as it became an important artistic centre and the visual reference of a rich, extensive and powerful diocese.
Sobriety, grandeur and magnificence are some of its attributes. However, there are many more.

GPW Heavyweight Title Match
Bubblegum © vs. Dirk Feelgood
Just a few months ago you'd be forgiven for taking a double take at this match. The friendship between the two former friends totally imploded with the desire to become Heavyweight champion. Refusing to accept the demise of his friendship with Dirk Feelgood, Bubblegum spent months in turmoil not wanting to retaliate to the cutting comments and brutal attacks levelled his way by former friend and champion Feelgood. As time went by however, Bubblegum eventually unloaded on Feelgood but this will be the first time the two have ever come face to face in a one on one match. And to make things just a little more interesting... it's for the GPW Heavyweight Title. Can the fairytale championship reign continue for Bubblegum, or can Dirk shatter his dreams and become the first ever 2 time Heavyweight Champ?
Tag Team Special, Skeletor vs. Stella
Lethal Dose vs. Voodoo & "Sober" Mike Holmes
Alan Alan Alan Tasker's henchmen, Lethal Dose march into battle against former stable member Mike Holmes and the man they hold responsible for Holmes' new found sobriety - Voodoo. Cyanide and Toxic hope to tempt Holmes back over to the stable that two months ago he turned his back on. They want to snap him out of the spell they accuse Voodoo of putting him under. However, Holmes seems very happy with his new outlook on life and he and Voodoo look to send Lethal Dose packing in this tag team special. Lethal Dose have warned they will not be coming to the ring alone though, with them along with their attorney and law - Alan Alan Alan Tasker will be a 12 pack of Stella. Hoping the case of beer will prove to be a bigger demon to Holmes than the tag team itself. To fend off the 12 pack, Holmes and Voodoo will have Vooodoo's trusty skull, Skeletor in their corner. An unpredictable tag team match. Can MIke Holmes stay sober? Will Voodoo's spells work? Or will Lethal Dose deliver a beating big enough to break Voodoo's spell?
GPW British Title Match
Jak Dominotrescu vs. "Super" Sam Bailey
After pinning the British Champion last month in a tag team match, WKD's "Super" Sam Bailey has earned himself a title shot at GPW: "Christmas Crunch". Bailey, already a former tag team champion looks to add to his growing reputation by capturing his first ever singles gold in GPW. While reigning champion, Romanian Jak Domitrescu along with his cohorts - The Eastern Bloc look to make life as difficult as possible for the energetic live wire. Domitrescu has held onto the title since April this year with help from his fellow countrymen, but are his days numbered as champ? He surely wont be alone in this title outing and will have the Eastern Bloc close by, but can "Super" Sam Bailey overcome the odds to win his first singles gold in GPW?
And, the main event for the evening is...
GPW Tag Team Title 2/3 Falls Match
MIl-Anfield Connection © vs. Young Offenders
The heat just got turned up in this feud. The re-united Young Offenders have the most established tag team in GPW - The Mil-Anfield Connection firmly in their sights and not to mention the tag team trophy. These two teams met in September this year where there was no clear winner decided after the match ended in a draw. There will be NO excuses this time to not find a winner. This, for the first time in our history will be a 2/3 Falls Match for the tag team titles. A winner HAS to be decided, but who will it be? A truley epic encounter is in our midst as Jiggy Walker & "The Model" Danny Hope try to cling onto the championship that has defined them as a team and "Dangerous" Damon Leigh & Joey Hayes, The Young Offenders chase the title that one of the most popular tag teams in Europe have never held. Can the re-united friends overcome the well established unit that is The Mil-Anfield Connection? Or can the well oiled duo of the Mil-Anfield do what they've been doing all year and win again?
GPW British Title No.1 Contenders Match
Harry Doogle vs. Juice vs. Dylan Roberts vs. Chris Echo
After an eye catchingly good year from rookie Dylan Roberts, he has been included in this battle to earn a shot at the British Title. With a burning desire to win and the fans firmly behind him, Roberts could well mark his arrival onto the main roster by becoming the No.1 Contender and going for gold here. However, his opponents wont give him an easy ride. In a wonderful CC-08 tournament, no one impressed more than WKD's Chris Echo. Echo reached the CC-08 finals with two broken wrists and proved he is ready to take a step up. His previous attempts for British gold have been thwarted by the foreign legion numbers of the Eastern Bloc, is he ready to prove again that he is worthy of being No.1 Contender and finally lift the British title? Juice, the current CC8 champion has been as impressive as ever in singles competition this year, but can he compete in this match with 3 others all vying to be No.1 Contender? Also replacing Jervis Cottonbelly due to injury is Harry Doogle as a last minute entry could one half of the next gen score the upset win? , but with so many possible outcomes who will leave with the plaudits and go on to challenge for the British Title next year?
Lumberjack Match
Si Valour vs. Heresy
A violent and personal feud that has lasted all year long finally comes to a head in what promises to be a violent Lumberjack Match. Ever since brutalising Valour and cutting off all his hair, Heresy has, in some form or other dodged the challenge of Valour. Heresy claimed not to have lost his bottle or be running scared of the 2007 Break Out Star, yet during their Bull Rope clash at GPW: "V" where the two were tied to one another, Heresy still managed to find a way of escaping and creating distance between him and Valour. This time, in a special Lumberjack Match, no matter where either man go - there will be no escape. All lumberjacks will be at the ready to ensure neither man can escape the others clutches and a clear winner, one way or the other will HAVE to be decided. There will be nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide, no matter where they look. Heresy has been one step ahead of Valour all year, is this where he runs out of excuses, or can the master manipulator manipulate another win?
No, this guy was just one of the happiest persons I ran into that day. The town had just open a new life guard station and he was a part of that opening. He was very proud of the new building and would talk about it to anyone who would give him some time.

Library of Guardianship of National Sobriety in the city of Volmar.
Starting in 1894, the Finance Ministry in the Russian Empire began creating a network of committees for “Guardianship of National Sobriety” to help curb the illegal alcohol trade and to promote moral behavior. By 1911, 791 such committees had been established around the country and this “guardianship” organization had about 16 thousand members. Thousands of cafes and libraries were opened by the organization, this being one of them. This library was in the present-day Latvian city of Valmiera, in northern Latvia. The Russians called it “Volmar”, adopted from the German “Wolmar.”

A young woman participates in a field sobriety test conducted by a Lenoir Police Department officer during a DWI checkpoint Friday night in Whitnel, N.C. She was later arrest for driving while intoxicated for having a blood alcohol level above the legal limit.
Mafra is an odd place, mixing the austerity and even dourness of the convent with the grandeurs of the palace. Here, sobriety is extreme.
Being in recovery is hard. No matter how much you tell yourself how much of a better of a place you're in, you can't help but fantasize about the place you were at not that long ago. Those gloomy thoughts turns to grief. I start to grieve over breaking up with my addictions and then that leads to guilt. Feeling guilty for wanting to go back to that selfish place, where no matter how bad it was, felt so good.
But after I run through that song and dance, I begin to feel grateful. Grateful for another day I can remember. Another day that I can breathe clean breaths, feel feelings, be a mother, be a wife, be me, and be alive.
So G. G for gloomy grief guilty gratefulness and well...
G'night.
On the celebratory day of gashing commercialism I felt like introducing a note of sobriety.

Press Release from USCG:
Coast Guard tows grounded vessel, responds to pollution near Anacortes, Washington.
A Coast Guard Station Bellingham 45-foot Response Boat- Medium crew towed and safely moored the fishing vessel Arline at the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes after receiving a report that vessel was aground in the Swinomish Channel Thursday evening.
A boarding was conducted by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie, an 87-foot patrol boat homeported in Port Angeles, Wash., revealing the master and crewman aboard the Arline to be intoxicated and the local police department took the master of the fishing vessel into custody.
Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound watchstanders received a call from the master of the Arline reporting the grounding near Anacortes. The Coast Guard Cutter Adelie was on a routine patrol at the time and was diverted to assist the crew of the grounded vessel.
Upon boarding the vessel, the Adelie crew suspected the master of the vessel was intoxicated and issued a field sobriety and breathalyzer test revealing a blood alcohol content level of .115, well over the legal limit in Washington State.
“Thanks to the crews of both Station Bellingham and the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie for making our local waterways safer,” said Captain Joe Raymond, Commanding Officer of Sector Puget Sound. “Boating while intoxicated is not only a danger to the crew of the vessel being operated, but it is endangers the lives of any boaters in the area.”
After the vessel was moored a light sheen was discovered coming from the Arline. Further inspection revealed a crack in the vessel’s shaft packing causing oily water to be discharged overboard.
Containment boom has been applied around the vessel. A Coast Guard incident management team from Seattle is working with contractors to contain further pollution and develop a possible salvage plan for the vessel.
The Arline is a 50-foot fishing vessel homeported in Seattle and is reportedly carrying up to 150 gallons of diesel aboard. The Coast Guard is investigating the grounding.
This isn't the first time the F/V ARLINE has run aground and a captian was arrested:
From September 5, 2013
British Columbia: American skipper arrested Monday on suspicion of impaired operation of a vessel after his fishing boat ran aground near Kelsey Bay.
The 58-foot American F/V Arline was heading south when it ran aground and the two remaining crew members apparently tried to abandon ship. Conditions may have been foggy at the time. The two remaining crew were safely evacuated and the captain was escorted to Campbell River while Coast Guard towed his boat. Awaiting the captain at the docks in Campbell River were Mounties, Canadian Border Services, Transport Canada, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Police arrested the captain on suspicion of impaired operation of a motor vessel and dangerous operation of a motor vessel.

Title: Favourite Celebrity Quote no.71
Media: hand cut stencil, spraypaint, marker pen on piece of cardboard
To be used in a street drop
Inspired by the idea of a graffiti self portrait, there are many words and phrases in this piece that help shape the image, and they are not all entirely sincere. Most of my pieces are self-portraits of a sort.
The title for this drawing came to me like a revelation, a revelation aided perhaps by a lack of sobriety. It is also not at all sincere, but seems to me the kind of statement some artists like to make, though maybe not in so many words, about their work. i'm not only against the "artist statement" in general, but i have a kind of loathing for pretense, which seems rampant in the art world. (i don't even like to say "art world," which seems to drip pretense from its very syllables, (which also sounds pretentious.))
i've met many artists with expansive vocabularies and amazing opinions of themselves, a combination i don't enjoy to fraternize with. i enjoy seeing talent, not hearing talents author give himself a hearty pat on the back, and so this piece is filled with thoughts about the act of making art, about the self-aggrandizement that often goes hand in hand with creating something.
(i feel like there should be a much easier way to say all of that. It just didn't come to me. Sorry.) (And i think i'm also starting to sound exactly how i don't want to.)
As for the artist statement, i've heard some fine ones, some that show me how similar i am in many ways to other artists. We all basically want the same thing and have the same thing to say. We want to make work that connects with people, that illustrates the need for change, for social responsibility, peace, love and all that, or simply to remind people of the mystery and beauty and possibility. But if i were to try to give you a statement, it would run on indefinitely, which probably wouldn't surprise you after looking at my Flickr page. i'd just rather talk to someone about how i feel about art or the world or anything, than assume that i can boil down my ideas and feelings and hopes and intentions into a few sentences that don't seem horribly contrived and repetitive and ultimately insulting to your intelligence, and then assume that you have any interest in those ideas and feelings and hopes.
i'm certainly not against others having "a statement;" i know many painfully talented artists who are happy to offer one, and often they are lovely, as beautifully constructed as the art itself. It just doesn't work for me. i tend toward satire and irony when prompted, when asked for something meaningful. It may be that i don't care for that quality in myself, but i need conversation to express how i feel. i want to talk to you, not simply be read by you (which is happening now).
(So no one thinks all this rambling is a some sort of "statement," please know i'm full of shit and have no clue, officially, what it is that i'm talking about.)

Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
