poltax spirit...it seems england is always the nest of social crisis, of course french people go often in the street but never in this climax of violence, of course even if this other bastard is on the presidence, we've the benefit of a real social state...god save the poor, and be safe guys if you go outside.

seems that there is another mondial crisis coming soon, dollars felt yesterday so the euro so the yen etc...america is in crisis and for a reason i still don't understand world follow this country, we're on a boat for a new krach in remembrance of 2009.

unemployment grow faster than bugs colony even in Alsace which was always quite preserve from it. Anarchist, communist mouvements are nervous and ready for revolution, all are so angry. I'm quite bored of this but guess we can't avoid confrontation for a new order.

It seems ok here but the ship down the road got looted, there is more going on now but in town so I will try to avoid it! Awful

London riots made relevant to tadpoles; Drag City's stock in warehouse blaze

I don't know why that sounds like a headline, but it does.

[Adam]

Now it's getting personal!

Seriously though, I too (along with most of the UK population) am shocked at what has been going on - specially in Birmingham, because it is nearer to where I live, and because there is really no fathomable motive for the 'protest' apart from using it as an excuse to loot and to sate pyromaniacal urges.

[queenofnerds]

Not the newsom CDs gasp!!

Why are people sheep honestly, there is no logic.

[Gerritsón]

Dutch news says the poor background of those teenagers is an underlying motive for the riots

[Jordan~]

We could resurrect the politics thread to talk about the social factors there. Suffice to say I think calling it 'pure criminality', in the words of Theresa Dolores Umbridge May, is arch idiocy.

feel completely crap, result of the italian shooting : lost 1500€ of my own money, never been paid, my images stolen. I'm so vulnerable, poor as i wasn't for 4 years, and those bastards spit on my work of operator. No legal opportunity to turn the situation uʍop ǝpısdn, and even if i had enough proof, i'm too poor to pay a lawyer. I really, really, really want to meet them and broke their legs, and i seriously think about go to belgium to do that...

[queenofnerds]

They stole your work? I swear it is so hard to be freelance sometimes.

[milkisobel]

yep, ask my lawyer, she saif we probably win but with a lot of battle...i'm so tired of it, i think, i prefer to do nothing...

[Riv]

Milki, that's awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

[milkisobel]

they said i've done "not a movie but shit" as on total 10minutes of 14hours rushes we see the mic on the right top border with the wide angle, so the bastard said i'm not professional, i did shit and they don't want to pay us anymore, plus, this other girl act double play with us, and report to the fraudulous productor lies about the way we worked : lazy, unfriendly with her, etc...it's so kafkaish i can't imagine what to tell to them. They're toxic, insane, thief, i wish to them all the worst think ever. I don't care now about the money, but i never let them my tapes. I know the work i do, i know i gave the maximum, yes i made a mistake with the mic but only on the first part of the first tape, in a total of 14tapes! Even if i have to ruin myself for years i will battle to bring me back my work. Because this man is billionaire, because this other man is Wormtail, because this woman is totally crazy, they think they can spit on poors like my friend and i.
In my crapiness, i was promoted at my ice cream shop not really my cup of tea but in that place, the manager is super cool and honest, i guess i prefer to sell ice cream for a few money instead to do cinema for fuckingly crazy billionaire for no money. Yeah that's the darkside of the freelance life...always have a good lawyer and an understanding and helpful surrounding

[queenofnerds]

I found it hard to be freelance, over the years I have lost about £5,000 that I will never see. Makes me so angry. If you do the work and they use it why not pay? Grrrrrrrrr


In other news, my life sorta sucks right now. I am disconnected from my boyfriend, we are like strangers who share the same house.
Work is putting a lot of pressure on our relationship, I work 9:30 till 8:30 pretty much every day and have 4 hours of commuting to do a day. Not sure how much longer I can take it.
Want this to work so much, it's an excellent opportunity but it's driving me nuts!
I'm currently working on a project with a freelancer, she has been working till 1 in the morning and sleeping in the office. Perhaps I am feeling a little Peer pressure from her. Well that all stops on Monday, I am working my hours and then going home, don't care, let her freak out cos I am doing the best I can.

[Gerritsón]

Best of luck to both of you, Queenie and Milki. It sounds awful what happened to you, Milki.

[queenofnerds]

Thank you *hugs* Don't know why things are so bad right now. He is destracted and I am distracted and we can't meet in the middle. I think maybe I deserve nothing better!! The way I behave sometimes.

[milkisobel]

i had a one month break with my bf, and it really helps me focusing of what i really want, and i wanted to be with him a little longer...you can't manage all thing, now it's time for your career, in few weeks/ months you probably could focus on your couple, i guess you both can handle this, waited a few time before evaluate your future?

There are some situations that force us to drop our childish demeanor and force us to become adults.

I found out my best friend, the man whom I loved the most... Well, he violated his ex-girlfriend in June. Some could easily classify this as rape but she refuses to see it that way.

He had shown up at her place at night, drunk, she invited him to stay the night. She didn't say yes to his actions but didn't say no either. She felt that it was her place to not do or say anything. She's extremely submissive... She's blaming and guilting herself. She bears no ill will towards him for this. She feels disgusted with herself and her body... She also blames the alcoholic which is bullshit. I know him drunk. He knew damn well she's vulnerable and he took advantage of it.

Never in a million years would I think he would have done that. But I guess that's what we all would say in this type of situation. It makes me feel sick. He doesn't know that I know what happened... But it explains the terrible mood swings he's been having and it also explains why he says "I'll never tell you" when I ask him what's wrong.

Fuck!

[Riv]

Oh, Mike. That must be really awful for you to deal with.

I am so annoying. I had to delete this.
