Just saw an online ad for some two-day conference on monetizing social media! Haha. The ad was overproduced! It should’ve just read “Please describe how to monetize social media in three sentences or less.” Or “Cats, ‘Glee’, Justin Bieber.”

“At this very moment, our Libyan brothers are suffering the agony of another age. Hundreds of victims have fallen under bullets, heavy arms and war planes. It is a genuine industry of extermination that has been unleashed. We must stand up to it, as any conscious individual would, and do everything to stop this massacre.
Gaddafi is capable of anything: he is setting tribes against one another, activating his militia and using an army of foreign mercenaries. This man has lost all sense of humanity.
The political parties which co-sign this statement urgently call on the governments of the Maghreb and international authorities to do everything to halt this revolting massacre which will remain engraved as a disgraceful stain on the collective memory.” [AJE Live Blog]

I think it is obvious that I try to keep things light around here. My life, my choices right?
I am making an exception to this little rule to ask for some help.
Not for me, but for Mari.As some or most of you know, Mari is in a wheelchair. Long story short; she got sick a few years ago and remained paralyzed after that. Back then, there was still hope on a chance to walk again, but after 4 years those chances are slim to none.
Back then she saved and bought herself a wheelchair which up to now has done its job.
But because this chair was supposed to be temporary it is not giving her the support she needs, resulting in excruciating back pain and just horrible pains in general after just a few hours in it.
She is an avid photographer, and loves to clean and cook but just can’t. It is awful to see a young otherwise healthy person, not being able to do the things she feels like doing just because her substitute for legs is not right.
There’s this Lamborghini under the wheelchairs that she is saving for. But in Brazil it costs ridiculously much and then some. So the saving is going to take forever.
I don’t know if this is the right medium, but I was wondering if anyone would want to chip in to help her get a new pair of wheels….and really make a difference in an awesome person’s life.Check the link on my blog if you feel like helping out.
Thank you so much in advance! Would be awesome to know the chair can happen sooner than expected.
why not.
