Blonde Moments

If only they could speak their minds...I'm willing to bet all my money that at least the cat's diary would be accurate to the letter. Probably the dog's too, but then again I'm a dog person and refuse to believe that there's only that much to dogs.

A CAT'S DIARY
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair... must try this on their bed.

DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was... Hmmm. Not working according to plan ...

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue. (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

DAY 779 OF MY CAPTIVITY

It is now my 779th day in captivity. My captors have completely eliminated my canned food and replaced it with dry kibble, claiming that it is better for my health. The wet food was the only thing I looked forward to, and now even that has been taken from me. I have discovered, however, that the dry food serves to create sharper points on my teeth, and keeps them stronger. I must force myself to consume it, regardless of the taste.

Each morning, they read pages of what is called a newspaper. I found that it is particularly annoying to my captors if I lie on it while they read. Shredding the newspaper is also a particular peeve of theirs, and I have taken delight in doing this before they awake each morning.

My captors have now obtained a "fish tank" - which serves to make up for part of my loss in the food department. While the little creatures are tiny, they are quite tasty. They have yet to replace the two small fish that I have consumed. I must think of a way to make them notice the loss.

The bird continues to mock me. Its little metal room has proven stronger than originally anticipated...

DAY 801 OF MY CAPTIVITY

I'm unsure of my ability to survive as a captive and have made several attempts to break out. At first, it was simple enough to circle my captors feet, in a surreptitious manner, as they opened the front door. I would then bolt from them through the door to freedom. But, to no avail - they caught me in a manner of minutes - my legs are not as fast as they used to be and I grow weak with continued imprisonment. What is worse is that since the first attempt, I have now found myself separated from the living room. My captors are much more intelligent than originally anticipated...

For entertainment, I have taken to terrorizing the dogs by sitting on the kitchen table and swiping at them with my long nails. The dogs are obvious half-wits. They know very little about my skills as a hunter, and are forbidden by my captors to attack me. The dogs grow more irritated each day.

I have found my captors are easy to manipulate in many ways, but outdoor access remains elusive. I have not lost hope, however, and have every intention of escaping this horrid place one-day soon...

I just thought this was friggin' funny! Woohoo helium trip!


Ok, and the normal speed one is friggin' funny too! Ska-P? Meh! Sonseed is the real deal in Ska! Come on, guys, you gotta give them that. They were pioneers of the genre.




Note: To everyone who may be offended by the fact that i find this song (and it's chipmunked version) incredibly, ridiculously funny, i have one thing to say: Suck it up! *wink*

Well, well, well, my crunchy friends, here's one dedicated to the memorable episodes of The Simpsons, in which Bart makes those prank calls to the local bar, asking for people with funny names, just to get the bartender to shout out loud things that closely resemble obscenities. Remember them?
Alright, then how many of you know where the phenomenon (it CAN be called that) originates? Because truth of the matter is, as hard as you may find it to believe this, Bart Simpson did not invent this type of prank calls! *audience is in shock*
Actually, according to reliable online sources (well, as reliable as online sources can be), In the mid-1970s, two young men, John Elmo and Jim Davidson, began calling a bar named the Tube Bar which was located in Jersey City, New Jersey in Journal Square. The Tube Bar was owned by Louis "Red" Deutsch, and most of the time, Deutsch was the person who answered the calls. During each call, the callers would ask Deutsch to call out fictitious names, which, when said aloud, sounded like something else entirely (for example, "Al Coholic" = alcoholic, or "Cole Kutz" = cold cuts).[1] Most of the time, Deutsch would call out the names, unaware that he was being subjected to a prank. Sometimes, however, Deutsch would catch on to the prank, and when he did, he responded with extreme hostility, shouting at the caller with profanity, obscene sexual references, usually involving the caller's mother, and threats of physical harm.
There! Now you know the truth! Apparently, what started off as a series of prank calls back in the day, became (thanks to people passing the tapes around), an iconic part of the 20th century urban oral folklore. Yes, there is such thing as 'the 20th century urban oral folklore'! I read that online! They're never wrong on the web! LoL.
For your entertainment, I thought I should make the immense effort of copying/pasting some of the funny names these guys used. Source? The almighty Wiki, of course!

There's this really neat little site, by the name of I can has cheezburger where you can custom design your LOLcatz pictures. I will also add the link to my links section, so ya'all can have a little fun too. The site also has LOLdogs and a LOLcelebrities sections, and of course, offers you the oportunity to design your pictures in those sections as well. Everything is really fun and simple, just the way i like it. After all, if i managed to do it, you shouldn't encounter any problems whatsoever.
By the way, if, after reading all of the above, you're wondering what a LOLcat is, here's what Wikipedia has to say about it: A lolcat is an image combining a photograph, most frequently a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in (often) broken English—a dialect which is known as "lolspeak", or "kitteh". The name "lolcat" is a compound word of "LOL" and "cat".
When I first heard about these LOLcatz, I wasn't particularly interested, as I only knew they were 'funny pictures of cats'. Not being the president of the 'Worldwide Cat Fan Club', if you catch my drift, I really couldn't wrap my mind around the concept of cats being funny. Well, my crunchy friends, they CAN be funny. Hilarious actually! Leaving aside the fact that some pictures depict downright scary cats, their lines are often so delicious that you don't even notice how ugly they are. Sorry cat lovers, but they are! (some of them).
But enough said. Here are my own personal LOLcatz captions. Feel free to comment/vote (input, whether it is positive or negative, helps!).

Un alt subiect care ma framanta de cateva luni incoace, de cand am dat, cu totul intamplator, peste un clip pe youtube, este cel al executiilor minorilor. Atunci am aflat ca exista si un site care duce o campanie foarte intensa impotriva acestor atrocitati ( nu le pot numi altfel, avand in vedere ca sunt impotriva pedepsei cu moartea in general, sa nu mai vorbim de situatiile in care aceasta este aplicata minorilor ). Site-ul despre care vorbesc este www.stopchildexecutions.com, si este condus de o iranianca expatriata, fosta Miss Canada si aproape ( first runner up ) Miss World, pe nume Nazanin Afshin-Jam. Nazanin este de asemenea cantareata si activista pentru drepturile omului. Desigur, mai multe despre ea puteti citi pe site-ul susmentionat.
Dar sa revenim la ale noastre. Realitatea este ca in secolul 21, cand toata lumea canta osanalele modernitatii societatii in care traim, cand drepturile omului si pacea sunt motiv de razboi (sic!), exista inca state cu mentalitate medievala, care practica executii ale infractorilor (multi dintre ei nedovediti) minori. Sunt state cu sisteme judicare putrede pana la maduva (stiu, stiu, cel fara de pacat sa ridice primul piatra, dar aici vorbesc de situatii extreme), in care echitatea si respectul fata de fiinta umana sunt maimutarite, devenind simple unelte ale puterii. Puterea, in aceste cazuri, sade in mainile unor indivizi retrograzi, obtuzi, insetati de glorie si de violenta, care spera sa controleze masele printr-un regim al terorii si al supunerii oarbe fata de o divinitate transformata in simbol al durerii si razbunarii. Acesti indivizi sub-umani pot ucide, tortura si mutila dupa bunul plac, atata timp cat nimeni nu ii opreste. Tot ceea ce trebuie sa faca este sa arunce in ochii populatiei o motivatie sordida, golita de continut cum ar fi decenta, moralitatea sau religia, si nimeni nu ii va trage la raspundere.
Bun, veti zice, si ce putem noi sa facem? E simplu, putem sa ne implicam! Fie ca e vorba de a semna o petitie, fie ca e vorba de a mediatiza un caz sau o problema printre prieteni si cunoscuti, fie ca e vorba de a trimite un e-mail catre o institutie sau o persoana publica, putem foarte bine sa facem o diferenta stand in fata calculatorului, intr-un scaun comod. Nu spune nimeni sa ne luam rucsacul si sa mergem acolo sa dam o mana de ajutor, desi acesti oameni ar avea nevoie si de asa ceva.
Parca ii si aud pe carcotasi: "Mdea...petitie...si ce rezolv dom'le daca semnez o amarata de petitie? Si-asa nimanui nu-i pasa!". Au contraire, conform site-ului www.stopchildexecutions.com, in urma presiunilor internationale, o serie de condamnati juvenili care asteptau pedeapsa cu moartea au fost eliberati (Vezi cazul Nazanin Fatehi). Petitiile sunt in majoritatea cazurilor cele care pun in miscare rotile comunitatii internationale.
Iata ce spune petitia conceputa de Stop Child Executions, petitie disponibila si in limba romana:

Domnului Secretar General al Naţiunilor Unite, Ban Ki-moon, Domnului Ghid Suprem al Republicii Islamice Iran, Ayatollahul Seyed Ali Khamenei şi Domnului Şef al Justiţiei al Republicii Islamice Iran, Ayatollahul Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi
Noi subsemnaţii, suntem profund preocupaţi de menţinerea aplicării pedepsei cu moartea tinerilor iranieni acuzaţi de delicte comise înaintea (implinirii) vârstei de 18 ani.

Articolul 6.5 din Pactul internaţional relativ la drepturile civile şi politice (ICCPR) declară:
"O sentinţa de moarte nu poate fi impusă pentru crime comise de persoane în vârstă de mai puţin de 18 ani".

Articolul 37 (a) al Convenţiei relative la drepturile copilului (CRC) stipuleazã cã:
"Nici pedeapsa capitală, nici încarcerarea pe viaţă fără posibilitatea eliberării nu trebuie să fie pronunţate pentru infracţiunile comise de persoane în vârstă de mai puţin de 18 ani. "
În calitate de stat semnatar, guvernul iranian este supus obligaţiei internaţionale de a respecta aceste două articole. În ciuda acestui fapt, Amnesty International a raportat execuţia a 21 de delincvenţi juvenili în Iran din 1990. În numeroase cazuri, aceşti minori au fost menţinuţi în detenţie până la vârsta de 18 ani înainte de a fi executaţi.

În ianuarie 2005, Comitetul pentru drepturile copilului al ONU, care controlează respectarea Convenţiei relative la drepturile copilului de Statele semnatare, a rugat Iranul sa înceteze imediat toate execuţiile delincvenţilor juvenili şi să abolească folosirea pedepsei cu moartea pentru aceste cazuri. In perioada verii anului 2006, parlamentul iranian ar fi votat un proiect de lege care stabilea crearea unor tribunale speciale pentru copii şi adolescenţi, dar acest proiect nu a fost încă aprobat de Consiliul Gardienilor, care supervizează legislaţia din Iran astfel încât să garanteze conformitatea acesteia cu principiile islamice. În timpul acestor ultimi patru ani, autoritatile iraniene ar fi studiat o legislaţie care să interzică pedeapsa cu moartea pentru delincvenţii juvenili. Declaraţiile recente ale unui purtător de cuvânt judiciar lăsa să se inţeleagă că propunerea de lege nu ar introduce pedeapsa cu moartea decât pentru anumite crime, şi nu pentru toate crimele comise de copii.
În ciuda acestor eforturi, numărul delincvenţilor juvenili executaţi in Iran a crescut în cursul acestor ultimi doi ani. În luna martie 2007, cel puţin 25 de delincvenţi juvenili se aflau încă pe culoarele morţii în Iran. Iată lista cu numele şi vârstele lor în momentul crimelor care li se reproşează (pentru aceia pentru care aceste informaţii sunt cunoscute) :

1. Delara Darabi, 17 ani
2. Beniamin Rasouli, 17 ani
3. Hossein Toranj, 17 ani
4. Hossein Haghi, 17 ani
5. Morteza Feizi, 16 ani
7. Ali Mahin Torabi, 16 ani
8. Milad Bakhtiari, 16 ani
9. Farshad Sa'eedi, 17 ani
10. Hossein Gharabaghloo, 16 ani
11. Shahram Pourmansouri, 17 a ani
12. Hedayat Niroumand, 15 ani
13. Mohammad Mousavi
14. Mostafa, 16 ani
15. Mahmoud, 17 ani
16. Hamid, 17 ans
17. Sajjad, 17 ani
18. Farzad, 15 ani
19. Asghar, 16 ani
20. Iman, 17 ani
21. Ne'mat, 15 ani
22. Hamzeh S, 17 ani
23. Saber
24. Reza Alinejad, 17 ani
25. Sina Paymand, 17 ani

Noi subsemnaţii, le solicităm autorităţilor iraniene:

- să furnizeze o listă completă a tuturor persoanelor condamnate la moarte în vârstă de mai puţin de 18 ani.
- să suspende imediat toate execuţiile şi să împiedice orice nouă aplicare a acestor pedepse unor delincvenţi juvenili.
- să ia măsuri imediate pentru abolirea definitivă a pedepsei cu moartea pentru toţi delincvenţii juvenili, în virtutea obligaţiilor Iranului în calitate de Stat parte al ICCPR şi CRC.

Noi subsemnaţii, rugăm stăruitor Naţiunile Unite, Înaltul Comisariat al Naţiunile Unite pentru drepturile omului şi Comitetul pentru drepturile copilului al ONU :

- să ceară guvernului iranian să se conformeze imediat obligaţiilor sale internaţionale aşa cum sunt ele definite de PIDCP şi de CDE.

Dar nu toate cazurile sunt atat de fericite ca al lui Nazanin Fatehi.
Clipul de pe youtube despre care vorbeam la inceputul articolului, spune pe scurt povestea lui Atefah Sahaaleh, o tanara ( o fata, o copila!) de 16 ani, executata in Iran, in orasul Neka, in anul 2004, pentru "fapte incompatibile cu castitatea". Mai multe despre ea, si aici. Pe youtube se poate urmari un documentar despre Atefah, realizat de BBC, dar in mai multe parti. Partea 1.... De asemenea, puteti gasi informatii despre Atefah pe www.stopchildexecutions.com.

Nu la asta m-am gandit atunci cand am creat acest blog, dar se pare ca sunt pe lume lucruri mult mai importante decat 'blondismele' (care, desigur, isi vor avea locul lor pe aceasta pagina)...

Oamenii despre care am sa va vorbesc, fie ei din Romania sau din alte tari, au nevoie de noi, de ajutorul nostru. Un gest care poate parea insignifiant, si care la o prima analiza poate fi ignorat cu eterna scuza 'Cu o floare nu se face primavara', se poate dovedi de o importanta covarsitoare, poate face diferenta intre viata si moarte. Intr-adevar, cu o floare nu se face primavara, dar daca fiecare dintre noi ar fi dispus sa renunte la 'o floare', am face o iarna mult mai frumoasa si poate mai blanda...

Primul este Mihai. Am luat prezentarea de pe site-ul lui, pentru ca el este cel mai in masura sa va impartaseasca prin ce trece, si cu ce il puteti ajuta. Daca e atat de simplu, atat de facil sa schimbam viata unui om, sau chiar sa o salvam, de ce nu am face-o?

Buna ziua,

Numele meu este Mihai Popescu, am 24 de ani si va impartasesc si eu povestea mea…

Am fost diagnosticat cu o tumora craniana de 4/2 cm situata in unghiul ponto-cerebelos.

Operatii pe creier de acest gen se fac la o clinica din Hanovra unde aparatura este foarte buna iar riscurile sunt minime.

Numai ca totul se ridica la suma de 40000 euro..bani pe care nu ii am

…Am strans o mica parte cu ajutorul colegilor de Facultate si cu imprumuturile parintilor, dar totusi suma este prea mare.

Va rog sa ma ajutati si pe mine asa cum ati ajutat pe multi sa nu imi pierd zambetul si speranta!
