Never Asleep: Eyelids Tattooed To Look Like Open Eyes

April 29, 2013

Presumably to compliment his existing brass knuckles and tribal face tattoos, this is a shot of some dude who got his eyelids tattooed to look like they're always open. That's probably gonna make it hard for him to find a sleeping partner. Because I remember dating a girl in college who had an eye that wouldn't close all the way when she slept and I had to ask her to sleep facing the wall so I wouldn't have nightmares. Unbelievably, she actually broke up with me for talking in my sleep. Hit it, Alanis! ♫ And isn't it ironic -- don't you think? ♫ I have no clue if it is or not but YOU OUGHTA KNOW I was hoping for 'Hand In My Pocket' instead.

Thanks to chichi, who's not particularly head over heels for eyelid tattoos. I'll stop now.

  • Bubbubsky

    I really don't understand why some people go crazy with ink like this dude. It just baffles me.

  • the antagonist

    The years have been hard on Zell Dincht.

  • crisimikiwiki

    ''The perpetrator then blinked

    two sets of eyelids.''

    You mean blinked with both eyes?

    "No, sir. He blinked one set,

    then a completely different set."

  • catallergy

    I would imagine that would be very helpful during jury duty.

  • Ed

    "Now the teacher will never know I'm sleeping in class! O wait I'm 40."

  • Anodos

    He should get contacts that look like closed eyes.

  • Darren

    Its asshats like this that give tattoos a bad name.

  • looks like sloth from goonies!

  • McfeelySmackup

    I wonder what the other partners at his law firm think about it.

    I mean, I'm assuming he has a lucrative white collar job...I doubt he works in a second hand record store or anything like that.

  • Anodos

    Because fuck him if he does

  • Jadis

    that's gotta look creepy when he blinks.

  • Gingerbread

    That haircut = Sloth in The Goonies

  • Heeeyyyyyyy Youuuu Guuuyyyyyyyyyysssssss!

  • Munky

    Dude who wrote the article says he made his GF face the other way so he wouldn't have nightmares...I wonder how that played out. lmfao!

  • At least they're well done. I wonder how much it hurt.

  • Hayley Prychun Rodgers

    Strange, but really well done.

  • Xankar

  • Deksam

    straight out of the movie Strange Wilderness.

  • Closet Nerd

    .....just agreeing, cause "attacks on bears by salmon is far less... that's got to be true right?"

So, It's Come To This: Call Of Duty Loser Calls Real Life SWAT Team On Kid Who Killed Him In-Game

April 23, 2014

Because if children are our hope for the future, then that future is hopeless, some little nobgoblin called a SWAT team on some other kid that killed him playing Call of Duty multiplayer. *tightening bolt on rocketship* My God I need to get off this planet. Even if I explode on the lauchpad, at least I tried. And I want my tombstone to read, "BOO -- I'M A GHOST!"

Police received a call at about 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon from a person who identified himself as Rafael Castillo, a 17-year-old from Long Beach, N.Y.

"I just killed my mother and I might shoot more people," the person said, according to police.

The threat prompted Nassau County police to scramble helicopters and send a SWAT team to Castillo's home, leading to a two-hour standoff that involved more than 60 officers, some with guns drawn.

When police arrived, they found Castillo's mother, 54-year-old Maria Castillo, making coffee in the kitchen. Castillo himself did not immediately respond because he was in his room still playing the game with headphones on.

Castillo's mother said the time has now come for him to put down the "Call of Duty" controller.

"The kid played too much," she told WPIX-TV. "Go work. He's 17, he can work.

Seriously? You're such a sad sport that somebody killed you in a video game that you're going to waste taxpayer dollars (not to mention the time and effort of a police force that could be responding to legitimate calls) sending a SWAT team to somebody's house? You're prime prison material. You know what I do when somebody kills me in a video game? What any normal person does: yells and slams the controller down and scares my roommates. "Keep it down in there, I'm trying to study!" I'LL F***ING TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB, DEREK. I'LL OPEN AN ETSY STORE AND SELL YOUR ARMS AS BACKSCRATCHERS. "What about my legs?" UP YOUR ASS.

Keep going for a video news report.

Thanks to D, who agrees those video game violence folks are going to have a field-day with this one.

  • Harris Naseem

    Man, these gamers in general be a new bunch of Virgina tech shooters, they should be all deported to Africa for all I care, we need less fags, especially ones who think gaming is the future, heck even actual gay guys got their heads on their shoulders then many gamers. those dudes can stay as I get all the girls, while you gamers die of starvation the moment you land at Nairobi International Airport without your game consoles...........These gamers are the real faggots.........

  • side effect

    Apparently this is a thing now. They're calling is "Swatting" I just got a call from a FBI investigator at my tech support job who was trying to track down the caller in another instance of this. Stupid kids.

  • Zirthran

    Kids ...

  • dougfunnay

    you really think this ass is going to be any different in ten or fifteen years?
    more likely hes going to be attracted to positions of power and give himself a larger platform to increase his sphere of assfluence
    now people that confuse dickishness and immaturity for a symptom of youth and turn a blind eye to the myriad of ways our society is fundamentally fucked up...... those guys suck

  • Logs

    My nigga get swatted. #HF #talkshitgethit #umad #wifiganginbusiness

  • Davianna

    The mother is a bitch. "Well, someone pranked my son, so he can go to work."

  • Jade

    Just another reason why you DON'T give RL info to people you meet online!

  • I love you GW
    Let's escape together to a dinosaur planet (moon propably) and ride the shit out of the reptiles.

  • FearlessFarris

    Yeah, the kid who called the cops is an obvious shithead, but there is a more important question here. WTF is with police these days? Is this seriously a measured response to a 911 call like that? A dozen cops in full swat gear (complete with face masks!) storming the place with battle rifles drawn? And a f*cking tank?? Seriously. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should, guys.

  • Bibidiboop

    Considering the content of the call, a situation involving someone armed, where time is of the essence, then the reaction makes sense. However, I think a little problem sleuthing needs to be used with these calls, since a nice tip off to something weird would be the fact that the call didn't come from the address given as the potential crime scene.

    Other than, militarization of America's police is definitely a thing. There are podunk towns of a few dozen people, with police departments with fully kitted out SWAT teams. Something like that. It's crazy.

  • Benmark

    The call was (allegedly) from an ARMED suspect who just MURDERED his mother and threatened to SHOOT MORE PEOPLE and "burn the house down". Considering an armed and dangerous person (allegedly) was about to go on a killing spree, and murder people, with a gun- I'd say this was a PERFECT response to the situation.

  • o0THX11380o

    The problem is that modern police training teaches that the officers life is more important than anything else. It used to be that the most important thing was protecting society and self sacrifice (being a true public servant). Now it's just about the cop. That's why they do things like this. Swat teams used to only be used in extreme cases, but now it's their go to option for pretty much everything, from serving bench warrants to responding to a call of kids smoking weed in a house. Also the fact that police forces around the country are just given military surplus without limit or common sense doesn't help matters.

  • J Doe

    There's potentially an armed and dangerous individual inside the house. Perhaps it -is- excessive, but they're taking the measures they believe necessary to the survival of all involved persons.

  • Bling Nye

    It is called, the Militarization of America's police...

    And if you didn't already know about it, it will probably blow you away, figuratively. (Maybe literally. Depends on how deep you go.)

  • Guest

    we need them to fight the criminals who ignore gun regulations and have military hardware too. eventually leadign to an armsrace where we start arranging to allow under preforming officers green recruits veterns about to retire and start collecting pensions and/or expendable interns to get shot so we can lobotomize and robocop him

  • What happened to the good ol' days of just embarrassing the guy that pissed you off rather than trying to get the cops to shoot them? Back when I used to troll the people who pissed me off, the worst I ever did was when a site's IRC admin (one of many) liked to abuse his power and occasionally kick/ban me, I hijacked the site's shoutcast radio station (hijack is probably a strong word as it was open to anybody to play some tunes on for others if nobody else was on it), posed as him and played Hanson's MMMbop for 24 hours straight. It pissed him off, I had a good laugh and still laugh about it occasionally but that was as far as it went. There was no need to get the authorities or anything involved, we just kept the rivalry between ourselves.

  • Harold_Finch

    what a massive twat

  • Joel Lamm

    should have called the twat team

  • o0THX11380o

    He did.

W&L Volleyball Fends Off Lynchburg, 3-1

W&L Volleyball Fends Off Lynchburg, 3-1

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Playing its first road ODAC contest of the season, the Washington and Lee volleyball team won at Lynchburg on Wednesday, 3-1.

The Generals (10-2, 3-0 ODAC) claimed the first set, 25-19, but the Hornets (4-8, 1-3 ODAC) came back to win the second, 26-24. W&L regained an advantage by taking the third, 25-22, and then held off Lynchburg to win the fourth, 25-23.

The Blue and White used a strong defensive effort from almost its entire squad, as six players recorded at least 10 digs. Senior outside hitter M.A. Boles (Houston, Texas/St. John's) led the team with 17 digs. She also tied for the team lead with 13 kills.

Sophomore right side Maddie Kosar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio/Gilmour Academy) and junior defensive specialist Kelly McManus (Osprey, Fla./Pine View) each had 15 digs. Senior setter Meghan Meleski (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin) did a little bit of everything for the Generals. She totaled 42 assists, three service aces, 12 digs, four total blocks and three kills.

In the front row, sophomore outside hitter Mansie Hough (St. Petersburg, Fla./Canterbury School) and first-year outside hitter Courtney Freudenthal (Glen Allen, Va./Trinity Episcopal School) joined Boles with double-digit kills. Freudenthal notched 13 kills, while Hough registered 11. First-year middle blocker Mackenzie Shand (Saline, Mich./Saline) tallied nine kills in just 16 attempts for a .562 hitting percentage.

First-year outside hitter Amanda Perry led the Hornets with 12 kills and 11 digs. Junior middle hitter Aricquel Payne recorded a match-high 21 digs and nine kills.

The Generals play at the Pioneer Classic this weekend hosted by Marietta. W&L takes on seventh-ranked Mount Union on Friday at 7:30 pm.

As sound is not, except an ear apprise,
    Nor light, save when recording eyes attend,
    So in the mind hath beauty birth and end,
Nor station in Time's aspect otherwise.
Between thy brows are Music's farthest skies,
    And from thy seats of dream her wings ascend.
    No fragrance is, unless thy spirit lend,
And of thyself the morning hath its dyes.

Now blooms the mystic flower: what Hand hath sown?
Now gleam its iris-hues: what Breath hath blown
    The bubble beauty risen from thy brain,
        And as a mirror evident of thee?
Gaze: let the glass distort thy dust in vain !
        Behold thyself—thyself a mystery!

Happy Mother's Day to all.

I picked these flowers from my yard this morning to give to my Mother.  I'm frugal like that.  :)

Just a short story to my mom on Mother's Day.

Through the years ... You have put up with a lot from us kids.

From kittens being born under your chest of drawers. To my first dog, running rampantly throughout your house after his bath.

I won't even mention the time we forgot to let him out of the house and he tore down your living room curtains.  But, the good thing about that was - you did make us housebreak him.  He was only trying to get outside to use the bathroom.

I won't mention overloading the dishwasher with extra (dish washing liquid) which made bubbles that reached your kitchen ceiling.

I won't mention having a peach fight on the roof of your house - oops, I don't think you know about that one.

I will, however, say thanks for putting up with us silly kids (my sister and I) through trying times.

We love you.

Just an update - since Mom didn't post. :) (she's new to computers and such)

She called me after reading this:

Mom:  Stacy that is so pretty - I love you,  too.  I'm trying to print this out but my printer isn't printing.

Me: Ok, I will walk over and see what's wrong.

Mom:  Nevermind, It started printing.

Me:  Ok.  Good!

Mom:  It won't stop printing

Me:  How many times did you hit the print button.

Mom:  About 40 times

Me: Ok, I'll be over to show you how to cancel print jobs.

Mom:  No.  That's  Okay.  I'll just let it print out 40 copies.

Me:   (thinking to myself)  I'm glad you love me that much to deplete your ink cartridge.

Buzz It

The post published earlier and now reposted below.Posted in P.M.'s twitter page in message. regards.

not to seek the president to Announce the President rule in Utter Pradesh state is a must is my Recommendation.

7-phase polls likely in Uttar Pradesh: Election Commission to announce dates on 4th Jan 2017.  Uttar Pradesh Election 2017: Akhilesh likely to ask ignored MLAs to contest as 'rebels'

Uttar Pradesh Legislature
The state is one of the few in the country which has a bicameral legislature with two houses -the lower and the upper. The lower house is the Vidhan Sabha or the State Legislative Assembly and the Upper house is called the Vidhan Parishad or the Legislative council. The Vidhan Sabha had 431 members till 1967, but now the Vidhan Sabha consists of 403 directly elected members and one nominated member from the Anglo-Indian community. The Vidhan Parishad has 100 members.

Uttar Pradesh Political Parties -

The Indian National Congress ,

The Samajwadi Party ,

The Bharatiya Janata party ,

The Communist party of India ,

The Bahujan Samaj Party ,

Rashtriya Lok Dal . etc.

Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav expelled from Samajwadi Party for 6 years by party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik says he is keeping close watch on the situation, describes Akhilesh’s sacking as party's internal matter. No one among SP leaders or CM has sought appointment from him yet.

Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is planning to give the go-ahead to his supporters to contest as rebels in the upcoming state Assembly election. The development comes a day after party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav announced announced a list of 325 contestants for as many Assembly seats for the 2017 election.

After being expelled from Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav set to resign as UP Chief Minister: Sources.

To Mr.Akhilesh Yadav their is no other way than resigning the Chief Minister Position by Today or tomorrow. Since he was expelled from the samajwadi party by its Supremo , so he last all his Values as samajwadi party Member . So he is forced to start his Rebel Party immediately. with that he need to register the same. How ever This is a very clever Move by this Samajwadi Party Supremo and his son. Yes, this is a plan to split votes.
This could be a plan to not to allow the election in calm Nature.
This could be a plan to push other competitors to the back.
Above all , Now to tempt the Governor Mr.Ram Naik to Dismiss or Dissolve the State Assembly to obtain the sympathy towards Samajwadi Party. Samajwadi Party keeping an idea that Mr.Ram Naik Governor of UP State will write to President of India seeking the dismissal of the present Assembly coding Law and Order problem may raise as a possibility. So if President Of India also agree to the situation and may announce the President Rule, Than it is a Easy way to get Complete Sympathy and will pave way to People a thought to Vote in favour of Mr.Akhilesh Yadav Party and not to be in favour of all Other existing parties is the cunning and clever Move(to split the Votes).
So B J P Government in Centre must maintain calm and peaceful observation of the developing Situations and to act accordingly. But not to seek the president to Announce the President rule in Utter Pradesh state is a must is my Recommendation.
on Election B J P will get more than 302 seats was my Prediction as soon the election date was announced .visit my blogs to read the details.
The result of State Assembly election at U P ,uthrakand, Manipur, Punjab and Goa will provide Huge Numbers of Nominated Rajya Sabha M.P.'s for the Best Future. This will enable the B J P government by Mr.Modi will pass all Bill's and will provide Huge Growth in Indian People Society.
Thanks. j.k.sundararajan.

Steveston Snow

Yes, we get snow in Steveston

Just before Christmas we had some snow in the village. Since we moved here we have not had a lot of snow, and it has never stayed on the ground more than a couple of days before melting away. Although we have hardly any snow compared with the rest of the country, I was pretty surprised when I looked at the average numbers for the area: In the past 30 years, Vancouver has had on average nine days of snow with 45 centimeters (17.5 inches) falling each year.

I did try to go out when it snowed, but I didn't make it past the end of our building's front walkway. Because there is so little, the city is not equipped for when it does snow. Our street is not plowed, the sidewalks are not cleared at all, and it is all left to melt on its own. Any little bit on the ground makes wheeling next to impossible, meaning I was pretty much stuck indoors for those days. Deborah took these pictures showing how picturesque the area looked.

Today was a good day.

Due to our never ending schedules, today was a nice break from reality. We began the day with a "sleep in till 10am" Saturday. We proceeded by going to Cracker Barrel for lunch or breakfast. We couldn't decide between the two, so we went to a restaurant that served both. She had a vegetable plate, and I had the typical grits, biscuits, hashbrowns, gravy, eggs meal that I get when I'm in the mood for breakfast there. It was delicious, and we ate ever bite! Except for the grits. I'm always disappointed with those. I skipped them this time. Didn't even eat a spoon full of them.

We had already planned on seeing a movie, and we had already agreed to the movie "Eat. Pray. Love." but the only thing that was not planned was the time. We decided on the 3:30, which meant we had approximately 2.5 hours to kill. We went to a major furniture store and dreamed about owning their new furniture in our new house that we keep saying we will someday build. We went to a well known pet store and got Scooter a halloween costume (he's a pumpkin this year.) She needed to go by the medical supply store (she is a respiratory care student) for supplies for school, so that meant a stop by the big, bad Anderson Mall! It's not a bad mall compared to the surrounding cities malls (they have none), but this place doesn't hold a flame to other cities such as Greenville, Atlanta, and such. But, I can say this about the little town of Anderson, it has everything that you need. Every major store is present and due to the low population of this area, customer service is always through the rough, which isn't a bad thing. After getting her supplies, we went to the movie.

The movie was good, but it wasn't great. I don't feel like it was a waste of my money by any means, but it just didn't have that zing, zang, bam that always seems to grab us Americans attention. A lot of the scenes were shot on location in different countries, and that was especially nice to see other areas of the world in real time. Overall, it was a good flick.

We then decided to catch ANOTHER movie, hahaha, so we went out for dinner at one of our favorite pizza places called NY Pizza. They always have a long wait time to when you give them your order to actually receiving your food, but that's just because it's always made from scratch and is absolutely great when you get it! We have never had a bad meal here, and the streak continues! We had a chicago style medium pizza, with beef, sausage, pepperoni, and peppers. It was awesome, and we still brought home about 4 pieces after pigging out! We quickly made it back to the theater to catch the movie "The last exorcism" or whatever. This time the theater was packed with the local high school kids, and that seemed to take away from the thrill of the movie with all the laughs and goofs that high school kids always do, myself having been one of those types. My view was distracted as the girl to my diagonal right was texting someone VERY important (as every so called "friends" are at that age) over and over and over, I suppose telling her how the movie was going? Who knows?

We then came home, caught the movie "50 first dates" on television, one of them passed out on the couch, and the other decided to share his day with you. Can you guess who?

PS: She needs to sleep. She's had a rough 2 weeks. I'm sure she's tired as hell.

Santa wore a nightgown

Just the word "December" would make your skin tingle.  Anticipation for "the day" grew exponentially every single slow day in the classroom.  My mother would begin to tell us to "make a list" so that we could go tell Santa Claus what we would like to possibly have.  We went to the same Santa Claus at the Haywood Mall.  He was the real Santa Claus, because only he had a real beard.  He has to have a real beard, or else he was a fake.  Waiting in line to tell this "stranger" about our dreams and hopes of the perfect gift would make your stomach cramp, and your knees would turn to jello.  This was THE GUY!!  The guy who could do all those cool things.  THE GUY who had all those magic reindeer, and he wants to hear from me!  Oh my gosh!  He wants to hear what I have to say, and what I would want for Christmas.  How cool is this?!!!  It took what seemed like HOURS to get through the line to see him, but when we arrived, minutes seemed like seconds sitting in his lap.  You could barely remember a word, and you had to waste precious time with him to pose for a photo.  Your mind would go blank.  You would stutter, spit, and just constantly think about anything other than vomiting on this nice mans beautiful, velvet red suit.  You would give him a few gift ideas, and then it was your brothers turn, all while our mother kept a close ear to the conversation.  So much to say, so little time.

First you had to knock out all of the other family things before the "big night."  First a party with Dad's friends at work, a Hester reunion in a Church, a Ervin reunion in another Church, and a Christmas Eve reunion at Grandmas house.  Finally, the night had arrived!!!  We would watch the news, and now and again they would give us updates on where HE was!  "He's coming, he's coming!"  How exciting!  Our mother would let us stay up unusually late, 10:00 pm or so.  Before bed, we would lay out cookies and milk, because he must be hungry and thirsty from hauling around all those presents.  We left a carrot or two for Rudolph, because he needed his strength too.  And off to bed we would go!  Yeah, like sleep was really going to happen!  We lay there with anticipation, and listened to every crick and crack the house could make, until our bodies and minds could take no more.  Sometimes if we REALLY couldn't sleep, we would get up and peek into the living room, trying to time exactly when he would make an appearance.  We never caught him, ever!!  We were always too early, or too late.  But when we were too late, we peaked at all the presents!  They were everywhere!  Each present was wrapped in the same Santa Claus paper, each with the same style bow.  That's how we knew it was really from him, and not just a mom and dad present to us.  Only HE used that kind of paper.  We would try to guess what they were by the sizes of the boxes, but never seemed to get it quite right.  And then we went back to bed, for sleep, right?  NOT!  We lay there again, until our minds and bodies could take no more, and FINALLY went to sleep, only to then awaken at 5 or 6 am and wake everybody up, because HE had come!!  HE had come!!  The day was finally here!

All of our presents had each been perfectly wrapped, with the same bow perfectly placed on each present.  And look, he even took the time to eat 1 and a half of our cookies, drink a little milk, and took a carrot to Rudolph!!  He really came!  And now to the presents.  He got us everything!  Everything that we could have ever wanted!  Every single item that we wanted, or could have possibly dreamed about having, was here, right here in front of us!  We were the luckiest kids on the planet!  Not only did we get visited by Santa, he REALLY listened to us that day at the mall when we went to see him, even though we didn't think the conversation went so well and there was tons of kids in line before and after us.  He understood we were nervous that day, and really was watching us to see if we were naughty or nice. I mean, of course he was, he's Santa!

We played with our toys all day.  We took a small nap in the middle of the day, and we were forced to stop for a bite to eat.  The entire process was just purely amazing, from beginning to end.  The entire month went by like molasses, but that day seemed to just fly by even though you so desperately wanted it to stop.  Dad was at home and not at work. Mom was home and happy because we were all at home and the shopping season had officially ended.  My brother and I were home and NOT at school.  Our grandparents made their rounds that day to all the grandchildren, and they stopped by to say hello too!  That day was officially the best, ever, yearly.  If there was such a thing as magic, it had happened at the Franks house!

I was about 11-12-13-ish when I finally realized that Santa was "fake", and that moment in time meant more to me than any of the happiness those previous Christmas celebrations had brought.  That was the year that I found out Santa Claus wore a nightgown.  That was the year that I found out what was really going on.

My mother would painstakingly withdraw information from two little kids in great detail and document it throughout the month of December to secretly purchase later.  Do you know how hard that is with a child's imagination??  Especially ours!  My father would work all the hours he could at the shop so that he could provide the very best Christmas possible for his family, thinking little about himself in the process.  Exhausted from all the shopping and holiday reunions, they would then set the alarm for early in the morning Christmas Day, go get the gifts from the hiding spot (to this day I still don't know where that is) and wrap each and every present, and place them neatly under the tree, while remembering to take a bite of chocolate chip cookie, swallow a bit of milk, and hide a carrot.  After hitting the bed around 3 or 4, they would then be awaken by 2 kids around 5 or 6 am, making noise as they went towards the Christmas Tree in the living room, laughing, giggling, and attempting to whisper.  They would then get up, and play dumb, so that we could enjoy the excitement and magic of being visited by the one and only, Santa Claus.  And they did this yearly, time after time, year after year.  Learning that Santa wore a nightgown was the equivalent to the scene in The Wizard of Oz with the man behind the curtain, but instead of pure disappointment, I was left with pure amazement. The fact that they did this all these years, and pulled it off, is just unbelievable.  The fact that they were responsible for so much happiness, and joy, still baffles me.  And all those years that I wanted so desperately to go "See Santa Claus" and I just couldn't wait to sit in the lap of the man wearing the big red velvet suit, I was already sitting next to him, and she was listening to every word I had to say, silently.  She cared about my happiness more than any fictional character ever could.  She wanted to make sure that her kids had the best Christmas ever, yearly, and that I would remember it always.  But all those memories have faded to a blur, and are experienced only through VHS these days.

But the day I found out Santa wore a nightgown, now that day, I will remember vividly forever.

Thank-you, Mom and Dad, for allowing this lucky kid to be visited by Santa Claus.  My wish every Christmas, until the end of my days, is that every kid in this world could be so lucky, and I love you both for what you did for my brother and me.  Thanks Santa!

If I did a good job, how about flipping some coins for a coke or two?

Thank-you so much!

The Day Of Dylan

Ghandigram, India - 26/6/06

The very talented Neilson of Jetty Productions just sent me this Undisputed Heavyweights for a bigger project we're working on.

BV just posted my review of the Roots show from the night before last. Read an excerpt below and the whole review here. Photo by Eric Townsend.

The most surprising fact of The Roots' show at Webster Hall last night (August 14, 2006) wasn't that Cee-Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley/Goodie Mob fame came out to sing Crazy with them, but that the sound at the club was roughly 4.3 times better than it was for the Roots at Radio City Music Hall. (the sound during Talib Kweli's set was still traditionally awful though).

The Roots are known as the best (and really only) band in Hip Hop. Close to the release of their upcoming Game Theory album - their first on Def Jam Left and best in years - they once more showed us why they can claim that title. Aside from a little variety, the show nearly mirrored the Radio City show. They brought all that they are known for. Black Thought's impeccable breath control and clarity - *coughTalibwatchandlearncough* - combined with a majestic flow makes up for his somewhat anonymous stage presence. Drummer ?uestlove commands the stage and directs the band through a slew of the group's hits - some fantastic new ones, and snippets of non-Roots classics. My favorite part of the show was when they paid homage by segwaying through a slew of songs by Ol' Dirty Bastard, the Notorious B.I.G., Salt 'N Peppa, Grandmaster Flash, Wu Tang Clan and many more... Still the best show in Hip Hop after all those years. Read the whole review here

Restaurant Chez Miocque in Deauville, France

It would be remiss of me not to write about another highlight of last week's trip to Deauville which was dinner at Brasserie-Restaurant Chez Miocque. I can't pronounce the name very easily, but I can easily recommend going there. Without a doubt.

Before I go any further, let me apologize upfront for not having a single picture to share. (Bad blogger!). I was totally engrossed in the evening itself, and the one and only picture I took turned out ridiculously blurry. I'll blame it on the after dinner Calvados! And on all the laughing going on that night!

We went there for lunch last year and it was very good. Had to go back, but especially so when our friend Ulla relayed her story from the night before. She arrived one day earlier than we did, and befriended the owner Jacques that night. So when we arrived on Monday night around 9:30pm for dinner, Jacques greeted Ulla and therefore us, like family. Already acquainted with Ulla, Jacques turned his attention to Robbin & I & asked where we were from. To my response "Chicago", he said, "Very, very cold". I totally agreed, but had to add, "yes, but warm hearts!". He surprised me by giving me a high five! That made me laugh. Our night was off to a fun start!

Let me try to describe this character Jacques. (He seems like a character to me. From a book or movie. A real interesting sort.) Yes, his name is tres, tres francais. His accent is adorable and he is fluent in english. Here's a man that enjoys life. Or so it seems to me. He smiles naturally & gracefully. I'm not sure his age, but it's bound to be in the retirement bracket. He's been in this business forever, and will forever be. The inside of the place is lined with photographs that date back decades. He's in every single one of them, accompanied by the rich & famous. I'll bet he's friends with each & every one of them, too. I can imagine how the place must be abuzz during the Deauville film festival. It's mostly such a crowd that fills the photos on the walls.

The food there is classic french fare. It's the kind of thing I love, especially when somebody else prepares it well! I could not resist an escalope of veal in a mushroom cream sauce, along with the garlicky sautéed potatoes. The red wine we had was very good, even if I can't remember the name. We had eaten & drank well, but I was really dying to try the tarte tatin. I noticed the women next to us enjoying a piece with a scoop of ice cream, and I imagined that a brasserie-restaurant like Chez Miocque must have a great rendition. There are tarte tatins....and then there are tarte tatins. This fell into the latter category. The three of us shared a piece. We ordered cream with ours. Ulla jokingly suggested to the waiter that the three of us really liked cream & please bring a big bowl. I thought we might get whipped cream, but what arrived was a big bowl of creme fraiche epaisse! It's kind of like a sour cream. Robbin, Ulla & I dug our spoons into the cream even before the apple pie! OMG - we were in cream heaven. This is where the best cream is produced (in the world, if you ask me!). That apple tart had been nicely caramelized as it should be & the underneath pie crust had been light & fluffy & crispy, just like I like it. Our waiter came by to check on us, by now it was getting past 11pm. We raved about it & said we had to sample a 2nd piece. None of us were hungry really, but we did need another bite so that we could taste more of that cream! (Kidding, the apple pie tasted so good that we felt like we "needed" to share just one more piece.) Our waiter said to us in all seriousness, "In this region the way we do it, is we pour the cream on top & let it slide into all the nooks & crannies". (I'm paraphrasing here, but this was the jist of it). And that's exactly what we did. Instead of each of us putting a spoon of cream on our plates & tasting a little pie with a little cream, we slathered it on. Completely. And then dug in. Those guys sure know how to eat a tarte tatin!! It was mighty fine. I'm still thinking about it to this day...

Our waiter couldn't believe we ate the entire "saucier" (gravy boat) full of cream. We then realized that they brought us an over sized bowl of cream, thinking we couldn't possibly eat it all. We sure showed them, didn't we, girls?! Oh la la....we really just couldn't help ourselves.

If that wasn't enough, Jacques, with his entourage around him in the enclosed terrasse seating area, signaled something to the waiter. The waiter quickly arrived at our table with 3 generous snifters of Calvados. We raised our glasses to Jacques & gave an "air toast" to him in his direction, which he reciprocated in kind. We were silly with elation. Having eaten well, laughed a lot, and now feeling the affects of the Calvados starting to arrive, we finally had to call it a night. We were the last customers inside. Jacques & his clan were still out on the terrasse. We talked with them a bit more, and finally said good bye. That's when we realized it had started to rain. Again, Jacques gave a secret signal code to the server guy, and seconds later, he arrived with 3 generous & extremely sturdy umbrellas. We were touched by his thoughtfulness, and offered to come back the next day to return his umbrellas. He said, "No, they are for you to keep". That Jacques sure has a generous heart. And that's how come the food at his restaurant tastes so generous too, in my opinion. This is the kind of place that could become a habit. A Deauville ritual. Jacques, if you are reading this, merci mille fois! You're the best!

Maternity Leave so far!

Thanks for all of your comments on the photo tour of Baby H’s nursery! I am so happy with how it came together. I didn’t have a ‘vision’ in my head when we first started putting it together but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

So as of today I have been on maternity leave for 1 week and have had 5 official days of maternity leave (again not counting the weekend). The past week has actually gone by super fast and I’ve been pretty busy. I seem to alternate super busy days with super relaxing days. I kicked off maternity leave last Wednesday, November 1 by going to the pool for a swim, cleaning the house, getting a pedicure and going to prenatal yoga. Then last Thursday I spent most of the day on the couch reading. It’s been pretty lovely to do it that way!

Here’s what I’ve been up to…

Sleeping in / Laying in bed

One of the hardest things about going to work the last couple of weeks was getting up and getting ready in the mornings. My sleep has been steadily going downhill since about 36 weeks of pregnancy due to being extremely uncomfortable and waking up several times in the night. Being able to just stay in bed as long as I want / need to in the mornings has been amazing over the last week.

I’ve spent a lot of time plopped right here on our couch reading my book and it’s been amazing!

Walking / Swimming / Yoga

I did do an upper body strength workout from Fitness Blender one day last week, but for the most part I am sticking to walking, swimming and yoga in these end of pregnancy days. Over the last week I’ve walked almost every day at the track with my mom, went swimming twice and went to yoga three times.

House Stuff

I have a list of things I’ve been wanting to get done around the house so I’ve been puttering away at those. The other day I took absolutely everything out of our pantry, wiped it out and organized it. Before and After photos above. Also on my list is to wipe down all blinds / windowsills and baseboards in the house. I will start picking away at that today or tomorrow. Later this week / weekend I plan to spend some serious time in the kitchen making some meals and easy snacks (like muffins!) to freeze.

I am working on converting my Group Fitness Instructor certificate through the YMCA/YWCA to a certificate through the BCRPA since we do not have a Y in my current city. This means I have to retake the Fitness Theory exam which has lots of complicated questions about the muscular and skeletal systems so I have been spending about 1 hour a day studying for that and plan to take the exam this Friday. Wish me luck! I hope my pregnancy brain doesn’t betray me.

Self Care

I booked a pedicure for my very first day of leave – and it was ah-ma-zing. I also am going to the chiropractor weekly and had a prenatal massage yesterday, which I wouldn’t say was insanely enjoyable at the time but felt good afterwards! So I am also filling my days/weeks with lots of appointments that I probably won’t have time for very soon plus the chiropractor and massage appointments feel more like necessities these days, especially the chiropractor!

Seasonal Decorating

Well, so far all I’ve done for that is exchanged some of the fall decor in our entry way for these two winter-y / Christmas-y signs. However, I’ve already decided that if Baby H hasn’t made his or her appearance when Eric goes on days off next week we are pulling out the decorations and doing full on Christmas decorating! The cold weather and snow has me in holiday mode.

I think that about sums it up! All of the above and general puttering / tidying around the house has basically filled my days and I haven’t felt ‘bored’ yet, which I thought I would. I think the fact that I’m very large and uncomfortable helps – for example, that pantry clean out took me about 4 hours with a few breaks whereas I’m sure it would have taken me 2 hours max in my pre-pregnancy days or high energy second trimester days.

I’ve had staycations before – usually over the Christmas holidays – but never ones where you don’t know when the end will be. It could be in 2 days, in a week or (god forbid!) in 2 weeks from now. There is really no way of knowing when this babe will arrive and these early days of maternity leave / having a staycation will come to an end so I’m trying really hard to soak up each day as it comes and enjoy this time even though of course it’s only natural at this point to be starting to feel anxious for babe to arrive already. That said, I have a pretty busy rest of this week ahead of me so would be OK with Baby H staying cozy until this weekend at least 🙂

If you had a couple of weeks off work at home what would you get up to?

Podcasts, workouts, books and looks of October!

Happy November friends. It’s baby month for us! With a due date of November 13, we are guaranteed to have our baby in the month of November as the latest we would be induced would be between November 23 – 25. I am also now officially on maternity leave, which I will do a recap of my first few days next week 🙂

In the meantime, let’s take a moment to look back on October shall we?

Definitely my favourite podcast episode that I listened to in October was The Girl Next Door Fall Extravaganza episode. It was laugh-out-loud funny and I’m sure people were wondering why the crazy pregnant lady had such a big smile on her face and was laughing so hard while out walking her dog. I also listened to several episodes of The Birthful podcast in October and really enjoyed them, this is a great podcast to check out if you’re pregnant or have a newborn.

October was the month I really slowed down with my pregnancy workouts. I continued to “teach” bootcamp 2 mornings per week, but really all I would do is demo the move. I only really participated if it was upper body strength stuff or squats / lunges. I also continued to go to prenatal yoga once per week and tried to fit in 1-2 other yoga classes each week, but I am modifying A LOT now. We were lucky to have a pretty gorgeous month weather wise so I was still able to get out for lots of walks with Chloe and I managed to go swimming once per week. Overall though, I really noticed and felt the intensity of my exercise decrease big time in October as I got bigger and more pregnant.

And now at almost 39 weeks it’s looking like walks, swimming and prenatal yoga will be what takes me through to the end of pregnancy.

I managed to read five books in October. I technically finished Origin late on November 1, but since I read the majority of it in October I’m counting it!

My favourite read of the month was definitely Beartown. I cannot recommend this book enough. So well written and such an important and relevant topic. It was hard to read at times, but worth it. I was also excited to find out it’s the first book in a trilogy. The characters in this book are all so complex, the author did an amazing job giving each character depth and you could even find empathy for the “bad guys” in some situations. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things was also an excellent book. I went into it not really knowing at all what to expect, and I have to admit the love story that is at the centre of this book is incredibly disturbing and made me squirm in my chair multiple times. That said, the writing is amazing and I could not put the book down and this is another one where the characters are very complex and have so much depth. Highly recommend both those books!

The other three books were meh. I found The Lying Game to be quite boring for being a thriller. Thirteen Ways of Looking had amazing and beautiful prose – the writing was gorgeous – but the stories were lacking for me and I found it too easy to put down and not pick back up again. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Origin was definitely not the best written book but it was a page turner. However, I found it to be about 100 – 150 pages too long and it really drug on at the end.

Lots of looks to share with you this month as I bought some new maternity clothes at the beginning of the month. Plus, this will be my last time showing off my pregnant looks 🙂

I get lots of compliments on this mustard/floral top every time I wear it! These burgundy maternity leggings are sooo comfy as well. The second photo shows how I dressed up the leggings and top for work with a blazer and scarf!

Still wearing my favourite jean jacket! Though obviously it’s nowhere NEAR doing up anymore. I never did it up anyways 😉 This is what I wore to a coworkers going away party. I am 37 weeks here.

Love this sweater and actually purchased it at Target almost 3 years ago. It’s a maternity sweater, but I would wear it as a sweater dress pre-pregnancy. It’s definitely just a sweater again now!!

Love this plaid top – also a maternity top but I think I’ll wear it post-pregnancy. It’s nice and long.

And of course love my Thanksgiving shirt, which is so perfect for how I was feeling on Thanksgiving this year 🙂

I know I shared this picture in my last post, but I can’t share my looks of October without also sharing my Halloween costume – the avocado! So fun.

We got our first big snowfall in October, and though I can’t really say getting this much snow on October 25 is my “favourite” thing, it is kind of pretty. Plus it resulted in the second photo – a gorgeous winter sunset!

After this it warmed right up and almost all that snow melted, and just this week the temperatures have dropped below zero again and we’ve gotten a few skiffs of snow.

What were your podcasts, workouts, books, looks and favourite photo from October??

Last weekend just the two of us

Happy November! As of today I am officially on maternity leave, since yesterday was my last day of work. I’m currently 38 weeks + 3 days pregnant with a due date of November 13. I have lots of plans for the next almost 2 weeks, but also wouldn’t be disappointed if baby decided to make an early appearance. I guess time will tell 🙂

In the meantime, Eric is back to work for 14 days and goes on days off again on our due date. So it’s entirely possible last weekend was our LAST WEEKEND off together with no babe! Of course I have to recap it, even though we really didn’t do anything too interesting.

Thursday… I did have to work on Friday, however our weekend kind of started on Thursday night as at 6:10pm we made the last minute decision to head to the 6:45pm movie. We saw American Made and it was pretty good. Maybe our last movie in the theatre for awhile!

Friday… I worked most of the day but left early for a chiropractor appointment. Friday night we got vietnamese takeout and my mom and brother came over for a couple of games of Settlers of Catan. We also played some Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit at the end of the night. It was a lot of fun!!

Saturday… we slept in until about 8:30am and then made some breakfast and coffee before heading to our last prenatal class at 10am. Due to Eric’s work schedule we ended up doing private prenatal classes, which were two 2-hour sessions 3 weeks apart. I’m really glad we did them as we learned a lot about the different stages of labour, different kinds of pain medications and different kinds of induction. It’s all information we could have found online, however it was great to have it presented to us and have someone there to discuss it with. Our instructor was also able to check our carseat and make sure it was installed properly.

I can’t really remember what we did the rest of Saturday honestly… I think we just kind of relaxed around the house and watched Stranger Things. Saturday night we made delicious homemade pizza!

Sunday… was another sleep-in day and then lazing around the house all morning. Eric played his game and I read my book. Around 11 we finally got ourselves together and headed out for a walk. We were hoping to do a loop on the local trail system, but it was full of snow and ice from our big snow storm last week so our walk was cut short. It was still a beautiful morning though.

Sunday afternoon I went to my little cousins birthday party and then over to my mom’s house to make my Halloween costume…

It was a total hit at work yesterday, I even won best female costume 🙂

Sunday evening, Eric made us homemade pho for dinner which was delicious! We watched more Stranger Things and went to bed early. I managed to watch all of Season 1 (Eric had already watched it) and Season 2 of Stranger Things from last Wednesday to Monday, so clearly watching that show dominated a lot of our time recently!

And that sums up our potentially last weekend together just the two of us. Pretty laid back and low key, which was honestly perfect. We just hung around the house and relaxed lot and ate yummy food. It was really nice. I am super tired these days and Eric is also pretty tired on his days off from his intense work schedule, so we will take the lower key days!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Doing Homes The Right Way

How to Sell a House Fast

There are an assortment of components that will require you to sell your home for instance a separation from your spouse which will expect you to pitch the house keeping in mind the end goal to part the cash produced from the sell as a court orders each asset that was possessed by the couple while they were together to be similarly shared between them. Selling an old house isn’t a simple task to achieve as a number of individuals may think and this is generally in light of the fact that many individuals would prefer purchasing new houses, along these lines the best alternative you have that will ensure you offer your home in the most limited time conceivable is pitching it to individuals and organizations that purchase houses for cash.

Before you pitch your home to such a person or association, there are two or three basic factors that you should consider to ensure you get the best bidder for your home and one of those components is the cost that that individual or association will buy your home at. To guarantee that you are not ripped off by covetous purchasers, it is best to have a specialist analyze your home and give you the normal cost for it which you will thereafter contrast with the cost that the eager purchasers are putting forth and choose the most sensible sum you are offered for your home when contrasted with your own survey.

Another fundamental factor that you ought to consider before you pitch your home to willing buyers who will pay cash is their originality, thusly ensure that the association that wants to buy your home has been properly enrolled by the government for you to be guaranteed of payment after selling your home. It is also important to make sure that you have all the necessary documents that show you are the true owner of the house otherwise you will not be able to sell it since you will not be able to prove that you are the legal owner of that property.

You also need to have contact information of the purchaser since you will get your payment in cash, for you to get in touch with them if the cash they gave you was fake since they pay the venders of houses in cash terms. With the goal for you to pull in the best costs for your home, guarantee you have some knowledge in the house pitching business for you to know the perfect time to offer your home when there is a high demand for them.

Pixel painter pleads for payment

To honor the 50th anniversary of the pixel, Vienna artist Claude Bosset is offering “Pixel,” a 60cm x60cm blue square on a 100cm x 140cm canvas.
Yes, it’s a blue square. But try to get into the symbolism here: “The pixel has allowed me to unleash my creativity in any form I please, be it visually, musically or written. I am grateful every time I open Adobe Photoshop and am able to create whatever comes to mind. I felt compelled to make a tribute to the invention and the painting ‘Pixel’ seemed like a clear and amusing way to do it.”
Yes. It’s a blue square.

There are so few things in life that are both horrible and fantastic, amazing both for their ability to fascinate and repulse simultaneously, but we’re wagering that Saturday nights Tsunami Aid: A Concert of Hope can’t help but be both.
Imagine, if you will, the likes of Diana Ross, Catherine Zeta-Jones and her sister Norah, mommy Madonna, Bruce Willis, Danny DeVito and Tom Jones all gathered together to entertain the hell out of the planet, still wobbling and shaking from the onslaught last month.
The two-hour gorgefest of celebrity sadness is not just a concert, of course, but also a plea to send in some money because it’s not enough that the south Asians have to suffer because of this disaster — so should you!
It’s tragic camp at it’s most tragic and campiest. Tune in, won’t you?

I’m a fan of short stories. Writing them and reading them. Anthologies, though, are a difficult beast – there is usually a stinker, and they’re hard to get right.

Dark Currents by NewCon Press collects 16 stories by up-and-coming authors, blending weird, SF, Fantasy, Slipstream, and deep geek humour.

It is a Good Thing, bringing together lost love, lost civilisation, lost fear, and lost hope all tied together in a thread. Worth the price on the tin, and part of a movement where small presses publish excellent work via the quiet revolution of ebooks.

Glen BolesGlen was born in St.Stephen, New Brunswick, in 1934 and moved to Calgary in 1953. As a child all his spare time was spent either drawing, taking part in sports or roaming the woods. In 1957 he was persuaded to go climbing by fellow worker mountain climber Heinz Kahl, a native Bavarian. With Kahl and English climber Brian Greenwood he was introduced to the more difficult side of climbing, by 1960 he began to take it seriously.Glen Boles

Glen has taken part in many facets of mountaineering from expedition climbing to mountain rescue and since the early days, he has climbed in the St Elias Range of the Yukon and Alaska, the Alps of Europe and extensively in the Rockies and the Interior Ranges of British Columbia, summiting close to 600. His first love though are the Canadian Rockies where he has topped out on over 450 peaks including many new routes and first ascents. During this time his pencils, pens and brushes had to take a back seat.

Also an avid skier, he has enjoyed cross country skiing, ski mountaineering as well as downhill skiing over the years. He spent 13 years on the Canadian Ski Patrol System and is now a member of the Ski Friends program at the Lake Louise ski area.

Glen BolesGlen is now retired after spending thirty five and a half years with the City of Calgary Waterworks Engineering Division, the last eighteen years as the Waterworks Planner. He has been married to his wife Elizabeth since 1965 and resides in Cochrane, Alberta. Since retiring, he has resumed his interest in art, drawing in pen and pencil and painting with water colours and acrylics.

From his mountaineering experiences, Glen has also developed a keen interest in photography and writing as well as art, these have evolved as enjoyable sidelines. Over the years he has built up a large collection of mountain photos in both colour and black and white to work from.

Glen BolesGlen is the author of a book titled “Glen Boles My Mountain Album“. This book of his black and white photography and his art was published in 2006.

He was also co-author with Bill Putnam and Roger Laurilla of two editions of “The Climbers Guide to the Canadian Rockies-South” and “Place Names of the Canadian Alps”, renamed “Place Names of the Canadian Mountains” for the second edition. He attributes his enjoyment in the mountains to the freedom to explore, to keep fit and to think young.

Glen is an Honorary Member of the Alpine Club of Canada, the American Alpine Club and the Calgary Mountain Club. He acted as honorary president of the Alpine Club of Canada from 2005-2009. During the Banff Mountain Film Festival of 2005, Glen received the Bill March “Summit of Excellence Award” for his contribution to Canadian mountaineering.

Stop the Glendale Land Grab!

Sign the petition to save our business!

Help us tell Glendale Mayor Mike Dunafon to abandon his plans to condemn our business and instead allow us to develop our property.

Our Story

Visit our website:

Mayor Mike Dunafon wants to seize our family-owned business of 25 years, Authentic Persian Rugs, through eminent domain in order to hand the land over to a private developer for the Glendale 180 entertainment district.

But eminent domain is for public use—things like roads and schools—not to give our property to  a wealthy developer.  This is an outrageous abuse of our private property rights.  Plus, we have wanted to develop our property for years—but the city has refused to allow us to   do so.

We came to this country from Iran in search of the American Dream. This is the “land of the   free,” and all we want is to keep what rightfully belongs to us. We are so appreciative of the outpouring of support we’ve experienced from the community and our customers.

The city publicly stated in July that it will not use eminent domain to take our property—yet they REFUSE to remove the blight designation, which is what authorizes them to seize our business. Then Mayor Dunafon presented the plans for Glendale 180 at a lunch, and included our property in the developer’s project plan.

Words mean nothing unless they’re law, and property owners across the country have become victims of eminent domain abuse after believing false promises like those being made by the city. We still need your help. Please tell the city to remove the blight designation from our property so our property is finally safe.  Thank you.

  • Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

    2012 - 02.24

    I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was twelve. Because I was such a voracious reader it made me think it was easy to write a book and be published (boy, was I naive!) but a few things got in my way, inexperience, self-doubt, life in general, and several times, words from another person. Sometimes another person can influence a writer in one of two ways.

    By encouraging a young writer, or really anyone, that young person may go on to reach for the stars, touch the moon…live her dream.

    This is the flip side of that coin. Belittling. If only more people understood what they’re truly doing to a young person, crushing their faith, their aspiration, all with their words, perhaps they’d think several times before they spoke.

    In high school I had an English teacher that, for reasons I never knew, truly seemed to dislike me. Oh, she “got onto” other students but I felt as if she zeroed in on me more than most. Now of course that could just have been my interpretation, maybe I already felt inadequate, but that teacher only intensified my own lack of confidence.

    I was terrified of her. Not of her physically hurting me but humiliating me in front of my peers, something that, as an Air Force dependent, I’d dreaded all of my school life. It’s hard to always be the new kid, always having to prove yourself, always praying that you’ll make friends and not enemies because you’re different. But sometimes it’s not the other kids that are your worst enemies.

    “So Gloria, is that how they would answer that out in Los Ann Gee Leez? Is that the way those people in Hollywood pronounce that word? Well let me tell you, this isn’t California and we don’t do it that way here. You understand me? I don’t know what you want to be when you grow up but I sure hope it has nothing to do with the English language because you will never be able to string together the correct words to form a cohesive sentence.” Then she called on another student, one that hadn’t just transferred from Los Ann Gee Leez. I asked to go to the bathroom, quietly, because I was on the verge of tears. I barely made it to the girls’ room before the dam burst.

    When my first book was published, I took a signed copy to her. She was much older but still sharp as a tack.

    TEACHER: What did you say your name was again?

    ME: Gloria Teague. I was one of your English students.

    TEACHER: Were you any good?

    ME: No, according to you I wasn’t.

    TEACHER: You probably didn’t do your homework. I don’t remember you but if I said that, you did or didn’t do something you were supposed to do.

    And she didn’t even remember me.

    And just like that, it was over. The feeling that I would always fail, that I wasn’t good enough to be a writer, that people would put me down for even trying, it dissipated. I thought back to that hot high school classroom and thought, “How much weight could her words carry now?”

    Not only do we need to be more tolerant, more accepting of others, we need to open our eyes and our hearts. When you speak to anyone, child or adult, look into their face and watch the effect your words are having on them. Had I not been stubborn, had I not been working toward my dream to be a writer, that one, solitary teacher would have broken me.

       So take that, Miss W!
