Why are we silent???

we’re silent because we didnt know. thats the whole problem. how can we talk about a problem we literally dont know about because of a media blackout.

here are some links.

Shahd Khidir uses her platform to spread awareness

Nahid Jabrallah tells DW about the sexual violence

Authorities Are lying about the death toll

Government is killing people during an internet shut down

Central Committee of Sudan Doctors confirms that it’s still going (i linked their whole facebook for updates. these doctors are sided with the protestors)

a lot of information is from the 3-4 of june but this appears to still be a problem. stay aware.

Giving being pescatarian a go. Mostly for health reasons but also becoming more aware of the environmental and ethical implications of eating meat.

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.

Never tell yourself you missed your chance.

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.

You can do it. Whatever it is.

Coffee cravings

I realise now how good we have it in Melbourne in terms of our coffee culture… Can’t find a decent cup of java in the USA.

I just used Shazam to discover Loan Me A Dime by Boz Scaggs.

This music makes me feel alive and puts me in a naughty mood.

That awkward moment when your grandma brings her friends from overseas to tour your house and she opens your bedroom door and you feel naked as they peep in.

Today I found out how effective a testosterone boost from a hot chick being in your vicinity during a workout can really be. Moved an extra 30 pounds no sweat. My mate also demonstrated that anger can be just as effective!

Quarter life Crisis

These days as I near the end of my academic life I reflect on what I have done. Inevitably, 'what I could have done' also creeps up in the back of my mind. This is only amplified when I see my colleagues and their achievements. I guess that's what comes from not taking opportunities by the scruff of the neck.
