New Moon, the second movie based on the Twilight series is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Trust me this is not Underworld: Vampires vs. Werewolves for teenagers. Instead, this movie is immoral brainwashing for young adults and teenagers. The subtle and/or explicit themes of statutory rape, suicide, murder, vengeance, love and lust are disturbing.
The movie continues at a slow pace, with a couple of fight scenes between vampires and werewolves. Meanwhile, the heroine engages in high-risk activities, such as riding a motorcycle at full speed for her first ride, cliff diving, begging to become a vampire, and switching back and forth between love interests. Not to mention, her complete disrespect for her father's love and truancy laws for high schoolers by disappearing for 3 days without notice.
Wow this is NOT a movie that I want young girls to see. The heroine is this movie makes dumb, inconsiderate and selfish decisions. Yet, this damsel in distress is guarded and protected by a multitude of people and/or supernatural creatures because she's "special". Ridiculous movie and it's a MUST NOT SEE...EVER!!!

Wow... What the hell? You mean to tell me that, all the bullshit put forth by the CRU - and other environmentalist whackjobs - was just that?
Here is the article from Fox News(articles are italicized):
Hackers broke into the servers at a prominent British climate research center and leaked years worth of e-mail messages onto the Web, including one with a reference to a plan to "hide the decline" in temperatures.
The Internet is abuzz about the leaked data from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (commonly called Hadley CRU), which has acknowledged the theft of 61MB of confidential data.
Climate change skeptics describe the leaked data as a "smoking gun," evidence of collusion among climatologists and manipulation of data to support the widely held view that climate change is caused by the actions of mankind. The authors of some of the e-mails, however, accuse the skeptics of taking the messages out of context, adding that the evidence still clearly shows a warming trend.
The files were reportedly released on a Russian file-serve by an anonymous poster calling himself "FOIA."
In an exclusive interview in Investigate magazine's TGIF Edition, Phil Jones, the head of the Hadley CRU, confirmed that the leaked data is real.
"It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago," he told the magazine, noting that the center has yet to contact the police about the data breach.
TGIF Edition asked Jones about the controversial "hide the decline" comment from an e-mail he wrote in 1999: "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
He told the magazine that there was no intention to mislead, but he had "no idea" what he meant by those words.
"That was an e-mail from ten years ago. Can you remember the exact context of what you wrote ten years ago?" he said.
"Mike" refers to Jones' colleague Michael Mann, who told the New York Times that the "trick" was simply a way of solving a data problem. In this case, the warming trend of the last century was detected in tree-ring samples only until 1960, but it continued in thermometer readings.
Jones' word choice was poor, Mann told the Times, but the calculations were "not something secret."
The Telegraph has posted some of the more scathing excerpts from these emails, which the newspaper suggests points to manipulation of evidence and private doubts about the reality of global warming, though the much of the scientific language in the e-mails is esoteric and hard to interpret.
Others suggest the comments are simply "scientists talking about science." In an interview with Wired, Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, points out that "if you read all of these e-mails, you will be surprised at the integrity of these scientists."
Still, one notable e-mail from the hacked files clearly describes how to squeeze dissenting scientists from the peer review process:
"I think we have to stop considering Climate Research as a
legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our
colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or
cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we
tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on
the editorial board…What do others think?"
But then, I find this article by The Guardian in the United Kingdom, stating that the University of East Aglia would be conducting an investigation on the e-mails and the CRU. Here is the article:
The University of East Anglia
is to launch a review into the theft and online publication of hundreds
of emails sent by scientists in its climate research unit.
Selected and unverified extracts from the emails have been used by climate change deniers to claim that the scientists colluded to manipulate climate data, causing a storm on deniers' blogs. The charge is rejected as "despicable" by those involved and as groundless by leading scientific bodies.
With less than two weeks before the crucial UN climate change summit in Copenhagen, climate scientists and campaigners are assessing the damage the incident has caused to the public understanding of global warming. Opinion was split last night over how to deal with the fallout.
Bob Ward, director of policy and communications at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics, called for an investigation.
"Once appropriate action has been taken over the hacking, there has to be some process to assess the substance of the email messages as well," he said.
"The selective disclosure and dissemination of the messages has created the impression of impropriety, and the only way of clearing the air now would be through a rigorous investigation. "
However, others said an investigation would be a mistake, particularly as some climate sceptics were also calling for one.
Andy Atkins, Friends of the Earth's executive director, said: "Calls for an inquiry look suspiciously like an attempt to cast doubt on the science of climate change ahead of crucial UN negotiations.
"The overwhelming majority of climate scientists believe that climate change is happening, that it is man-made, and that it poses a major threat to people across the planet. We can't afford to be distracted from the need for urgent action."
George Marshall, founder of the Climate Outreach and Information Network, said: "The UEA response has been frankly pathetic. One can only imagine that the UEA's communications team is totally out of its depth. A less charitable conclusion is that they are defending the interests of UEA and are not concerned about – or have not understood – the damage to climate science."
The Met Office, which jointly produces global temperature data with the climate research unit, said there was no need for an inquiry. "If you look at the emails, there isn't any evidence that the data was falsified and there's no evidence that climate change is a hoax," a spokesman said.
"It's a shame that some of the sceptics have had to take this rather shallow attempt to discredit robust science undertaken by some of the world's most respected scientists. It's no surprise, with the Copenhagen talks just days away, that this has happened now."
Michael Mann, director of the earth system science centre at the University of Pennsylvania, and a long-term target of sceptics, agreed the timing was suspicious.
"What appears to have happened is that going into this monumental climate summit in a couple of weeks the other side, which does not favour taking action to combat climate change, resorted to an illegal smear campaign," he said.
"They are going through them and cherry-picking them for any word they can find that is cited out of context and can appear incriminating. I think it's despicable."
He told the Guardian the emails – though embarrassing – did not undermine the body of science. "This doesn't make any difference at all in degree of consensus on climate change," Mann said. "I hope it boomerangs back on the criminals."
A joint statement from the Met Office, Royal Society and the Natural Environment Research Council said: "The scientific evidence which underpins calls for action at Copenhagen is very strong.
"Without co-ordinated international action on greenhouse gas emissions, the impacts on climate and civilisation could be severe."
So there it is. Two different articles. One, full out claiming(basically) that Climate Change is a hoax by CRU and their ilk. The second, more cautious - and with a bit of disbelief - and willing to wait until a review is in before condemning it. So far, Fox News is the only news organization that has reported about the e-mail leak. Which is a bit worriesome for me. They are news organizations, it's their job to report things like this, even if it goes against their political affiliations.
Anywho, I thought others would like to read this as well, so I posted it for you. I want your take on this. Is it a bunch of B.S.? Or, is there some truth to either article? Are you on the fence on this? Have at it!
Until next time...

Here are his words - if you wish to read peoples responses to his blog post, the link is provided above(his words are italicized):
I’m more than a little angry right now. Yes, I’m irate that some sh-tbag Major (“sh-tbag” is often used as a technical term in the Army) opened fire on a group of his fellow Soldiers killing 12 and wounding 30. But that’s not even what is under my skin right now. What is bothering me is the general reaction of our media and those stupid enough to think this was not an act of terrorism, but was caused by supposed PTSD caused at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
You want to know what PTSD is like? I'll tell you. You have nightmares that go on for weeks. Mine would always be the same. Wherever the window was in the room in which I was sleeping I would see a bright white flash. I would wake up screaming to my wife “Get up! Get the f-ck up! An IED just went off!” Sometimes I would just wake up screaming in agony as I relived the moment where my right arm was ripped from my body by an Iranian shape charge. (I may not know what childbirth feels like, but I know what it's like to go an hour with my arm ripped off without painkillers (I'm allergic to morphine).) PTSD makes you paranoid as hell. “Why is that person staring at me? Are they a threat? Where is the nearest exit? Why are these people so close to me? Why is no one pulling security? What was that noise? Where is the nearest cover?
I need to get out of here.” You lie wide awake in bed at night wondering if it's safe to go to sleep or if you should get up and start pulling security. When I got home from Walter Reed and started college (a week later, stupid idea) I would often stay up for days at a time without sleeping. Eventually my body would completely shut down from exhaustion and I would sleep for 12 hours or more only to complete the cycle all over again. (I still cannot believe I got all As and Bs.) Since I was injured in a humvee I am especially susceptible on the road to the effects of my PTSD. I still get nervous and hold my breath every time I drive by a piece of trash or tire debris on the shoulder or median. I avoid guardrails and broken down cars on the side of the road. On a couple different occasions I yelled out “tire!” to warn my wife (who was driving) of a potential IED in the road. There was nothing there (no tire, no nothing). One late night while driving home completely exhausted on our small two lane country roads at slow speed I locked up all four tires on my car to keep from hitting a cardboard box in the middle of the road. At that moment I would have bet the contents of my bank account it was an IED. That's what PTSD is like. At no point in time have I ever felt the desire or need to grab a weapon and go shoot someone or something up. At no point in time have I ever grabbed a weapon and broken a law because I felt the need to protect myself. PTSD urges you mitigate the risk of events that happened in your life. But if you've never had anything traumatic happen in your life, you can't have PTSD.
If you can get PTSD from treating soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center then why the hell haven't more people snapped? Why haven't all the therapists in physical therapy and occupational therapy, and all the staff on Ward 57 ran around shooting up the place? They have seen far more wounded Soldiers than this POS ever did. My occupational and physical therapists, like many of the civilian personnel at Walter Reed, have been there since the beginning of OEF. They have taken care of countless (probably hundreds) Soldiers with a variety of different injuries. Missing arms (like me). Missing legs. Missing both. Missing parts of the face. Severe burns. Whole chunks of the skull missing. Missing jaws. Ears. Eyes. Severe PTSD. Severe TBI (traumatic brain injury) to the point that Soldiers would forget where they were going while walking the 50 feet from physical therapy to occupational therapy (they would be found wandering the halls unsure where they were supposed to be going. I had a buddy who used to do that walking the 20 feet to prosthetics. My TBI is bad, but not that bad).
So why haven't they gone crazy? Because you don't get PTSD from sitting on your ass around Walter Reed. Not only is it not possible to “catch” secondhand PTSD, but it is not that kind of a place. I would know, I was a patient there for nine months. The place is simply not that stressful or chaotic. When I was there my PTSD got better, not worse. And I would be willing to bet my dog tags that I saw far more wounded Soldiers than sh-t bag Major did during our overlapping time there in 2007. I regularly visited Ward 57 to give advice to the new wounded. Other Soldiers and amputees did it for me when I was there so I considered my visits “paying it forward”. I had daily physical and occupational therapy with other Soldiers. I regularly partook in activities in and out of Walter Reed with present and past wounded Soldiers. To say that this guy got PTSD from being stationed at Walter Reed is an absolute farce. The people who are making this sh-t up have never set foot on Walter Reed, let alone met a soldier with PTSD.

On the 9th of November, he added an update to the blog thanking people for spreading his words around the 'Net. Here it is:
Update- Nov. 9
First, I would like to thank everyone who has been reading my thoughts and passing them around the web. When I decided to write this it was not my intention to create something that would go viral. I was simply blowing off steam and debunking yet another ridiculous claim by our fact-less media. Second, I feel it is necessary to address my rather colorful language in this post. A day or so after I wrote this, I went back and reread it and thought “wow… I sure did swear a lot!” As regular readers (all three of them) can attest, I almost never include such expletives in my writing. So how did they come to be? It has to do with the way I “type.” The IED that almost killed me left me with four remaining fingers, only three of which somewhat work (my pinky is just “along for the ride”). So when I type something long like this blog post, I use my voice recognition software. So I'm not actually “typing,” I'm talking. When I'm very angry and I talk I tend to throw around an expletive here and there, like any good combat Soldier should to prove his worth with the English language. Unfortunately, such language tends to turn off much of the general public, and tends to retract from the overall statement being made. So I decided to clean up the language to a more PG-13 rating so that it will possibly get bit more exposure. Please realize I am not doing this so that I can get more attention, but rather to protect the good name of my fellow Soldiers and all the hard-working folks at Walter Reed Army Medical Center by debunking some of the BS being perpetuated by our media. (If you're the kind of guy (or gal) who likes a bit of vulgarity in what you read, you can still view the unedited version right here. Proceed at your own risk.)
I thought others would like to read this as well, however, I posted the "cleaned-up" version instead. If you want to read it raw, the link has been provided. As for the pics, they are - of course - of Mr. Salzman while he was at Walter Reed Medical Center. They, too, were posted on his website.
Until next time...

THE SOUL OF WHITE AMERICA
A Pastor(white dude) approaches me yesterday and proudly tells me that he has issues with the Catholic faith because of infant baptism. They have cooked a meal for us at Salvation Army and goes on to tell me that he is doing his good tidings as a Christian. He even boasts that he knows the Head of the Pentecoastal church, etc,etc. I challenge him to sell all his possessions and donate it to the homeless. His face gets red. Just to fuck with him, I tell him to go to his church or home and place a Black Jesus painting on the wall. I challenge him to accept this fact! He enters his lavish car and zooms off leaving homeless folk freezing in a minus 25 Winter degree wind chill. Little did I know this was my first official encounter with modern Pharisees. Its Black History month and I'm not in the mood to be fucked with!
White America I challenge you for just one year would you humble yourself and kneel down and pray to the concept of a Black Jesus! Not that the color of Jesus matters, but I'm trying to reveal the true nature of white folks. The snakes in the grass, that hide behind a legacy built by Slaves. Don't you see that Jah had sent his soldiers to admonish the hyprocrisy of your political,economic,social and religious institutions.
The pastor then tries to engage me in the canons of the church and that how we should be baptised as adults to receive salvation. I then drop the bombs on him! Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist as a physical sign to the manifestation on the dawning of the Messiah. Where John baptised with water, Jesus would later baptise with fire! Israel, or should I say Black Israel, have historically been a stubborn nation(ask Moses!), so God chose John, a spiritual reincarnation of Elijah to prove to Israel that Jesus was the SON OF GOD. It doesn't matter if you are physically baptised or not, its about the spiritual baptism of your mind,heart,body and soul that God cares for.
Look at the depictions of this images above, and tell me what kind of a human being would be so sadistic not only to hang you but also to lynch you? What kind of beast would be so inhumane to use the Christian church as a basis to enslave and murder an innocent people? Can you imagine if someone come and kidnapped your children and wife/husband and enslaved them in shackles, whipped them like dogs, hanged them and lynched them! Look at the smiles of the spectators as they watch and smell the flesh of God's children hanging and burning. These same people who then will go to church and profess to be Christians. The same people that would see 400,000 people die in DARFUR,Sudan and do nothing. The same people that would turn a blind eye as our brothers and sisters drown in the wake of hurricane KATRINA. The same people that would say they are saved, and then drop bombs on innocent civilians, mothers and children in Iraq and Afghanistan. The same people that give you a fake smile when you go to your job trying to earn your daily bread. The same people that would shoot an innocent unarmed man, Amadou Diallo more than 40 times and get away with it. And you want me to go to church and pray with you on Sunday!!!!!!
White America I am not prejudiced, I love you and pray for you, for I know some of y'all have a good heart and are good professing Christians. But it's 2007 and still there's a lot of RACISM AND APARTHEID IN AMERICA. White folks have segragated themselves by using the law and their POLICE to shelter themselves in their luxury and comfort in a land stolen from the Native Americans. Using laws that indiscriminately imprisons millions of Black folk for petty crimes(a bag of marijuana) while the President and Congress illegally enact laws to enrichen their wallets, sucking the blood of the innocent like vampires. What have our Church leaders done to condemn the evil in our society? YOU HYPOCRITES! A pastor is supposed to be a Good Shepherd, a watchtower of the community. So next time you ask me to attend our service, I will split a blunt with my poor ghetto folk and tell you the KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.
Love all fellow-men as you love yourself (Mt.22:39).
And just to piss you off(the racist ones), I will whistle like Emit Till at this picture of Jen by Canadian vox buddy....LMAO
This has been ve Black History Month Public Announcement .....God Bless Y'all
I wanted to post a poem but instead I chose to post the "strange fruit" powerful lyrical piece made famous by Billie Holiday
Strange Fruit : A Poem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is the fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

This post(i call them bombs) is dedicated to the legacy of Mumia-Abu Jamal a Political prisoner incarcerated In Philadelphia for BULLSHIT....a modern day lynching of our kinfolk....FREE MUMIA NOW!
Excerpt from Mumia "Reedeem the dream", for more click here for his prison radio address:
There are over two million men, women, and children in prisons and jails across America. Think of it: two million! Did you know that there are over 400,000 more prisoners in the U.S. than there is in China? What is this saying about America? .....Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that is two-thirds water?...Why are there billions of dollars to build prisons, but not a nickel to build a school? Why does the government pay a prison guard more than a college professor? Why do parents need to work two jobs or more to feed and house their families? Why do you support politicians who support repression against you and your people? Why do we call cops who beat, maim, and kill us "public servants?" Whom do they serve? Why vote for conservatives even if they wear the label of Democrat?..How can you be free while judges in black robes rival klansmen in white robes in their contempt for Black life and liberty? I know that many of you may not appreciate what I'm saying about Democrats, but I must. When you're being pulled out of your car for the unwritten effects of DWB, or driving while Black, why not flash your voter's registration card to the cops? ....The legendary revolutionary teacher, John Africa said, quote: "It is insane not to resist something that gives nothing but sickness to you, your mothers, your fathers, your babies, your family" unquote. Are you getting power from this political system? Or sickness? Ask yourselves: are you, your babies, or your families better off today than they were eight years ago? Or worse off? If this system give you sickness, well, why support it? No doubt, you'll hear many climb to the rostrum and preach to you of the value of voting. You may even have some politicians come to you today promising the moon. But look at history. Bill Clinton, what some have called the nation's first Black president, savaged habeas corpus for the first time since the Civil War. So-called "welfare reform", his idea has been a war on the poor. From Lani Guinier to Joycelyn Elders, what you saw was an example of the politics of betrayal. The last eight years have brought us an explosion in the prison-industrial complex. And who in all of America is most likely to be cast into those steel and brick hells? You know the answer. Why vote for your own oppression? Why vote for death row? Why vote for DWB? Why vote for the prison-industrial complex? As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, ask questions. These have been some for you to consider.

Stay tuned to next month's dicussion on my views on "Ilegal Immigration:Operation Fuck a Green Card" and "A Glimpse through a Crack'ed Window", the tale of an Antigo Crackhead.
Here's a video for Bob Marley Live in California performing AFRICA UNITE
Howdy folks! Old man winter is back, kinda missed last year's because I was down south at my sister's graduation in good ole Fort Worth,Texas. Well, I am suffering from the repercussions of eating all that greasy southern food, gosh, I have gained a staggering twenty pounds, I need to take my fat azz to the gym and burn off some calories. Not that I look like a sumo wrestler, but the belly fat needs to go. So the in-thing now everybody is talking about is the 2012, end of the world crap, and that damn Swine-flu. I didn't take the vaccine, actually, I have never taken a flu-shot and I have never really fallen sick, so I am sure the doctors have been brainwashing us into one of their schemes. Some people theorize that it is a plot to weaken our immune system while some say it's a way to inject a microchip and tag our bodies.
It's being a hell of a ride this year, lots of traveling and sight-seeing up the northern and southern coasts of America. People ask what I liked most about America and my answer without a shadow of a doubt has been the women. Holy crap!!! Women,women and tons of women to get my drool on. Yeah, I know I am crazy. I really am. I even categorize them in my mental black book- apple head blondes,sassy brunnetes, delicious red-heads, kinky,sassy,leggy,thick,cocoalicious,midnight beauty,asian delights, delilahs,jezebels,salomes, I mean I can go on and on. Maybe I should go to the clinic and ask my doctor if they have a vaccine for my lust. Well, to be honest I really wouldn't get it. Screw that! I love my women, everybody has a vice so I take mine, black and white.
The girls in Texas are heaven-sent, New Mexico girls are drop-dead angels, Missouri girls are definitely cornbread-fed, Florida girls are what temptations are made of, but I will stick to my Minnesota girls, country, curved to perfection and lasagna cooking wife material. OMG, I hope my wife doesn't read this, I'm still trying to convince her that I need another wife and these Americans girls are not trying to compromise with my African polygamous ways. Children of the mountain, Behold! I try and try to stay monogamous but I think my DNA has got King David and King Solomon genetic ties cause I can't stop at one woman. I really am crazy. Maybe, tomorrow I will meet that one woman that will sweep me off my feet and make me a one-woman man, but I really don't think that will happen soon. Too many fish in the damn sea!
At least I'm not some fake dude cheating behind my wife and girlfriends, all I want is for polygamy to be legalized and if my women are cool with it then I don't see what the big problem is. I'm not dropping bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan killing people, I want the world to embrace love. Hey, if you can get me a Middle-eastern wife, I will be glad to add her to my stable. Well, I have to gallop away and go harass this barista at the coffee shop, her name is Char, damn, she is one fine hottie. She makes me the best frappacinno in the world, I told her she is the cream of my coffee.
Life is a jigsaw puzzle crafted by forces of fate, time and the divine. Love is a gourmet plate, cooked to perfection, an entrée of patience, a main dish of affection glazed with understanding, a dessert served with pleasure, forgiveness and commitment. Hate is the knife that breaks the passion of Life and Love.
I love to eat with my hands, I leave the silverware to civilized folks. I get down and dirty, mold a ball of Ugali with my tender hands, dip it in goat stew laced with collard greens, good ole African nourishment. Delicious!
We are what we eat, what we see,what we smell,what we hear. I am craving for a vintage Pinot Noir wine, but with this recession booming, I am obliged to cracking a forty ounce of Colt 45. I am an African wandering in America, searching for milk and honey. I am what I love, I am what I fear. I loathe cauliflower. I really do. I love Minnesota Vikings. I hate Green Bay Packers. Sometimes I think I am a Gemini. My friends swear by the Roman gods, that they see two sides in me. I am Janus. I am a Libra. I hate horoscopes. Touchdown!
I have been blessed to be surrounded by angels and demons. I am the Morning star, I am Son of the Morning.
Mama, I am mourning for love lost, tossed between elephants and donkeys. The trumpets, I hear them calling.
Behold! be still, I am drunk from bloody grapes. Slaveships, cotton fields, strange fruit, brothers and sisters crucified in this land of the brave. Indian Joe, my Chippewa friend, told me the seventh generation shall not pass till they hear a voice from the wild. Go eat grass! We living in the midst of the Second Civil War. Black against white,Capitalism against Socialism,Religion against Atheism, Darkness against Light. Pump your brakes, am I moving too fast for you? Google 38 Dakota.
"Who was your first love?", Dakotah asked me, as she opened the windows, letting in the cold crisp air. I love autumn, the fall colours changing like a kaliedoscope. Dammit, I like to spell colour with a "u". I'm Anglo-African. Civilized and savage.I hate being called black, I'm brown. I really am. I don't think I have ever been in love. Katie, I loved her. Sara, was my wife, Christine was my college sweetheart. Jackie has the key to my heart. Peres was my rock. It's true, you always remember your first love. She wrote me this beautiful poetic piece, some Whitney Houston song, on a blue notepad. That was cute. I was in computer college, way back before Bill Gates gave us Windows, during the era of floppy disks and the DOS prompt. LOL! This is my definition of a romantic date. Sharing a plate of marsala chips. Finger licking good to the last drop. She was a really good kisser. She really was. She was articulate,passionate and dramatic. I knew she was Hollywood bound. Kenya invades America. Now that's some epic shit.
It's funny how the pieces of life come together into a perfect fit. God graces us with friends for a reason, I was too young to cherish the love we had, she was my fast love, a roller coaster of beauty,brains,emotions and lips. An African gem, precious and tantalizing. One who finds a friend finds a treasure.
