Dear Rolf,

 

he looked like Rodney Trotter and didn't like music, he didn't even own any, no mp3's or cd's or vinyl or anything; which frankly is just plain fucking weird. Plus he gave off a 'cut me up and feed me to pigs' vibe...so no.

Dear almighty,

 

a vacuum shaped like me...inside of him. I still don't quite know what to say about it.

Dear peeps of the Dear thread---thanks for the well wishes and good news props.

These hearing aids are gonna take some getting used to. In some cases there is a slight delay, like music in the car, makes the singer sound like he is singing in a fan. but someone can whisper in my left ear (deaf side) and I can hear it clear as a sunny day. Deafinitely an awesome new feeling.I can walk with someone and we can walk on either side of eachother, and I can ride passenger in a car and not get so frustrated because I cant hear a damn thing the driver is saying. I also found out that Pandora gives me a lil short in the devices.

 

I am very grateful.

i totally missed your announcement.

congrats! that's really wonderful

i hope that you get comfortable with them and it's practically like 'normal' hearing.

 

i read some stuff from helen keller recently in which she was saying that deafness is by far a worse disability than blindness because you get so cut off from everything. i really have tremendous respect for people who deal with that shit. best wishes to you

Dear !@#$%,

 

Thank you.

 

There is soomething i have been thinking about, and would like to really make moves on this idea somehow. I dont know the correct wordsto use or even know where to start- to make some kind of awareness to benefit deaf/hard of hearing people.

Someone had told me to talk to my CPA about getting some type of tax write off for being deaf, because certain handicaps do get one, including blind. keep in mind that even if you have 50% vision loss, you are considered blind.

he told me being deaf doesnt fall in the same category. (yet, i had a client that was considered medically handicap because she had dibeetuz..and was able to take advantage of anything the system has in her advantage INCLUDING A HANDICAP PARKING STICKER!!)

 

Even if when i had insurance, hearing aids are not covered. My older clients who use medicare-it doesnt cover it either. there is no benefits/provisions for deafness.

I would like to SOMEHOW make being deaf legally considered a handicap, and deaf (even if 50% ) people should receive the same provisions as any other "handicap" and at least push that insurance companies cover most or all of the cost of hearing aids.

 

i hope this makes sense, bbecause (typically) it makes sense in my head, i just cant ever translate it correctly..haha

 

high hoping and big dreamin,

xxl.

 

hope you all have/had a good day.

one person can make a difference

half of oprah's show was about people who were turned into activists because they saw a need, and filled it

 

i bet you could lobby corporations to help you.

no limits baby haha seriously.

go for it.

lots of people want to help, they just don't know how

 

all deaf people need is a chris reeve/michael fox type (and you don't have to be a celebrity to become a champion for a cause.)

Dear SM,

The key is in writing letters, to anyone and everyone who will listen. Local organizations, the mayor, churches, anyone. Gather support and then, it will be impossible for anyone NOT TO LISTEN.

 

my two cents...

seeing the last video made me smile, even when life hasn't been so great, particularly not this morning at least. Makes my heart soar, humanity might yet have a chance.

dear all,

 

been on the fence about the graffndance lately, been out of the illegals in this small town for a couple years (except for a couple) and am going back to school in a few months. I'm going back to actually pursue my passion, if you don't know then you don't know. How does one fit such endeavors into the life without putting it ahead of real life things that can make money, which in my case could also build fame/rrecognition faster than the graffndance? Does one leave behind the thoughts of the young mind to pursue those which are also artistically driven and legal, or does one lay very low and do a thing or two every once in a while to continure the contribution and involvement in the scene? I'm torn and confused. Advice and smartass comments are welcome.

dear redeye

 

i continued my graffin career, and sadly, my drinking, throughout pursuing my biochem & molecular bio degree. it was hard.. i also worked full time so i didn't have to take out loans.

i'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.. only thing i'd do differently is not drink so much.

ten years later i have a fantastic career, and i still paint avidly though i don't really do street shit anymore, and i don't care about it... i think i just grew out of it. i have passed on stuff friends have done out of concern for what it could do to my job.. that can also be difficult but sometimes one does have to do the responsible thing...[if that's the right path for you]

long story long, you can do both but it requires a lot of energy and stamina and careful consideration of risk v reward. having a job doing what you love is so essential to living life though, that if you have to quit a hobby to get the job that will satisfy you, then i say just put it on the back burner, sacrifice now too and you have more free time to play later.

dear LUGR

 

i'll have a look when i get there.

but the place is no joke.. you get done, prepare to spend a lot of time in a small cell with no food or water, 1 shitty toilet and 30 other people. possibly get tortured. cannot fucking get done there. unthinkable.

Dear Red

 

for me I just weigh up the pros and the cons, I don't paint all that much but try to as much as possible, I tend to mainly focus on legal walls or chill spots because I want to paint something I am happy with rather than just getting up, however I do go out bombing as well occasionally, I just don't take any excessive risks. Just don't think about it, if you want to go paint do it, if you want to stay home and study then do that, no one dictates what you do apart from yourself, so do what makes you happy.

Dear New Job

 

Hope Monday goes ok, looking forward to seeing what you are like, funny thinking a legal firm will be contributing towards my illegal activities, it is the little things that make me happy haha

dear decy...

 

good luck with the new joab and all that...

 

funny that. i was just thinkin' aboot this boy i knew who bombed the side of a solicitors office, then further doon the line he got lifted for painting, then went to the same solicitor for legal aid when it was his time up in front of the wig...

 

then the boy said "i want £250 for damages or i'm gonna fuck up your case and make sure you get thrown in the tin pail..."

 

dunno what the point of me telling that story was really. just thought you might enjoy theread i suppose...

Dear Rolf,

Dear Bobby,

 

please stop leaving decapitated pigeon heads on the welcome mat. I really do find it awfully upsetting. I'm going to have to have some cake now just to take the edge off.

Dear dears,

 

after a shaky start my day improved greatly, there's even an awesome new pho spot opened literally around the corner from my house...only for it all to be brought crashing down around my ears when...a fucking bird shat on my shoulder. Bloody typical.
