I first began exchanging personal email on July 29th this year (over a misunderstanding so glad) with beautiful Bernard or Sir B as I like to address him. I’ll always remember this day as one of morning joy and shock sadness afternoon. In the morning we had become friends then in the afternoon Bernard told me of the lung cancer that had spread and was causing “brainy complications” nothing tragic as he put it. / he believed he could beat it! after 4 months of chemio it all became too much…. so for the miraculous way you fought so hard to survive, I applaud you, for your genius art I stand in awe and for our friendship it has and will always be a privilege to have known the great Bernard Lacoque, see you in the next life..Sayonara Bernard had sixth sense sensitivity…. always my hero! rest in peace Sir! / T.S.Neale alias banrai
“*if only tonight we could sleep / in a bed made of…
if only tonight we could sleep / in a bed made of flowers / if only tonight we could fall / in a deathless spell / if only tonight we could slide / into deep black water / and breathe / and breathe… then an angel would come / with burning eyes like stars / and bury us deep / in his velvet arms and the rain would cry / as our faces slipped away / and the rain would cry don’t let it end… (click the lyrics to listen to the song) Today I received some sad news. My little Jordy man has Cancer again. :( I am at a point right now where I am very lost. Anyone that knows me well enough, will understand the bond I have with my Three Boys … but especially so with Jordy … my little Alien. When Jordy was about 4 years old, he got skin cancer in his ears. Something a lot of animals with white fur get. Luckily Kim and I got him to the Vet before it had a chance to spread and they cut it out. Since then, Jordy has been my no ears little Alien. The Ironic thing is that when Kim brought him home as a Present … I said he was the ugliest cat I had ever seen …. he is now the most beautiful thing I have had in my life. The vet has told me without Chemo, he probably has about 3 months to live … but that is with pain. :( I can’t afford the Chemo for him sadly. :( And even with the Chemo, the cancer is too far spread … it won’t cure him this time … just prolong his life. With a heavy heart I now need to make a decision on timing :( At some time soon I need to figure out that Jordy is suffering and allow him to be free of that, so he can forever watch over me. This will be one of the hardest things I will have done. I am going to share the next few months here …. some of this may not be nice, but it will help me too. I am going to miss …. this gorgeous Monkey on My Back so much!!!

Over Christmas and New Year I took a couple of weeks off work. But I also had a couple of weeks away from the computer, from the internet, from answering my phone. Of course what happened was I started to think. About photography, the nature of creating things and releasing them to the world, but mostly about the meaningful interactions I’ve had online. One of the things that first drew me to RedBubble was the positive response to my photography. Heck, it feels good when people like your stuff and say so. But it went deeper than that. I’d admire someone’s favourites list and start to pay attention to them. Then I’d notice we were commenting on a lot of the same stuff. Not knowing anything more about that person, I’d feel closer to them, connected. Like I’d made a friend. Online we reveal some of our most personal feelings and thoughts. Whether directly through our words, or indirectly through our actions. The internet is house to a true society of people, with a full spectrum of personalities and desires. Perhaps it is the (thin) layer of online anonymity which allows us to expose ourselves and embrace vulnerability. There is something very cathartic about saying to the world ‘this is me and I am not afraid’ (even if you’re shitting yourself inside). Over time relationships develop and mature. Many of my closest friendships were established here on RedBubble, and much of our communication happens in bubblemail, on facebook, and in emails. I met my partner who I now live with on RedBubble too. These relationships are just as important and real to me as any other. They give me everything other relationships do – joy, entertainment, heartbreak, sorrow, confusing, tension and love.

This piece isn’t about the writing. It is however about the message itself. I just throw it together, but not as a creative piece. Thank you…. Many years ago some friends of mine and I were in a band together. We had a lot of good times jamming, but as life would have it we all grew up and went our separate ways. The guitarist’s name in the band was Jeff and he was an extraordinarily talented musician, but had always been apparently troubled. Over the last couple years I’d heard rumors that Jeff had had a very rough go of his life and had become a heroin addict for years and as such had been ultimately sent to a facility that dealt with these sort of individuals. / Well, word has it that Jeff decided one day that he no longer wished to remain cooped up in the facility and so jumped out a second floor window where he broke his back. / He’s been a paraplegic ever since, confined to a wheel chair. He has as well suffered many other physical maladies in regard to not only that injury, but the ongoing emotional and physical effects of heroin abuse. / Recently a High School acquaintance named Dave and I have become pretty good friend on Facebook. I never knew Dave per se as he was an upper classman, but only knew of him / As a result of our newly founded friendship on Facebook I’ve come to find out that Dave has been in close contact to Jeff throughout his struggles and is still quite close to him. / Recently Dave informed Jeff that he’d been communicating with me via Facebook, which made Jeff very happy apparently. / Two days ago Dave was talking to Jeff about the good ole days and when he and I and a few others used to jam and have fun and he said to Dave, I feel horrible that I’ve wasted my life like I have. I feel like I’ve let everyone down, family and friends. / Dave came to me on Facebook and told me what Jeff had said so I wrote Dave a little short snippet. I chose my words extremely carefully as I always try to. I don’t remember exactly what I wrote but it must have had an impact. / Today Dave sent me this email below. Steve, / Just got off the phone with Jeff. / I read to him what you wrote in regard to him letting his friends down, it really (I want to stress really!) made him happy that you said what you did. / He went on to say what a class guy you are and have always been. / He said to tell you that your words meant “More to him than HIS words could say!” Your a good man Steve! Dave The point of this journal and the message I’d like to convey is simple my friends. For those of us who write or simply create beautiful art like so many on this site my hope is that you never take for granted the power of a stroke, whether it be a brush, a photo or a word. / We have the power my friends to change a life in the blink of an eye, so please I implore all of us to make the very most of the talents God has granted us because someone’s life could be hanging in the balance and WE could be the one to save them. This simple email above has brought me to my knees because I love people as much no even more than I love writing and if I help one person at one point in a life that was needed then I say praise God because THAT is what fills my heart. I’d like you to consider if it had been a loved one of yours, a mother who had been contemplating suicide, a father who no longer felt like a man because he’d recently lost his job and could no longer support his family, a woman who had been being abused by her husband and felt like there was nowhere to turn, or just a lost and lonely soul sitting in a tiny apartment feeling like they didn’t belong to this world, etc. We have more at our fingertips than we realize my friends, so let’s not take ourselves and our talents for granted please. God bless all of you. Steve

After being with Niece and family on Christmas eve I was driving home. If I could have closed my eyes I would have. LIke the poem I wrote yesterday called How Is It I felt warm and I felt a presence of arms wrapped around me that made me smile and reminisce once again over my last 2 years since coming to RB and choosing to live again. / . / Right before I was to arrive home I came out from my attention to driving and my reverie and looked at the time, it was 11:11pm and then I looked at my miles in gas… 111.1… omg.. I thought.. it is the Universe supporting my thinking and letting me know how LOVED I am indeed. I was beaming and again I chose to think of people and situations that felt good to think about. My appreciation level was off the charts. I came inside and did my thing for bed, and snuggled up with RB.. (you) and saw that my choices for the front Home Page has been chosen for Christmas Day Morning 12:00am… it was just that time. The artists I have come to know since enjoying the amazing and loving group over at HOMEPAGE has been expanding my heART and I feel even a more ‘part of’ this bubble which frankly I feel was instrumental in showing me just what I needed to come out of a deep depression that was lasting way too long a short 2 years ago. / . / / The Artists who comprise this set of features are ones I have never met before (except my beloved keesor or Keith) but you can bet I have most of them in my watchlist now. / . / It pays to love what your life is giving you right NOW… your vibration rises to all your treasure trove of desires and you find out that the law of attraction is about the principle / ‘That which is Liken to Itself Is Drawn’... when I am feeling the appreciation for my NOW.. and choosing thoughts that feel good, my life just keeps getting better. / . / Merry Christmas Morning Friends.. / We Are Surely Blessed!! / . / Linaji

Sorry to make this come as a journal entry but I can’t do what hosts can do, which is mass mail my friends. A bummer but probably a goo thing. LOL! What I have in my mail now is HUNDREDS of things I can’t ID and can’t weed thru either. You know how you sometimes get “Ooops! I forgot/messed up a link” four times in a day and three times in a row from the same artistic (read “neurotic”) host? Know how you have friends that host and hosts who are friends but used to be able to tell their messages apart? Know what it’s like to NOT want to enter 12 challenges/votes a daily? I’m sure most of you do. It’s a lot like homework in high school. Each teacher assigns a ‘fair’ amount for you to do for the night, completely ignoring the fact that 5 or 6 OTHER teachers are ALSO assigning an additional ‘fair’ amount of homework for the night. Well, there’s only ONE night and 6 times the amount of work you can do in one night’s ‘fair’ amount of homework! Now I have something like one teacher (i.e. hosts in RB) dishing out solely a fair amount of Bmail yet I can’t tell the forest for the TREES when there’s scores of Bmail from everywhere. Add in all of you: friends I want to chat with; maybe a half dozen urgent requests from group members; compliments/hate mail about my work (Not really since NOBODY hates my work. Hehehe!); “new to me” people who want to network around common interests; inquiries about specifics in a piece I produced, and; easily 20 or more other things I can’t remember while ranting. Suddenly I don’t know who is who and can’t even tell dates and times mail arrived without open every single conversation. I’m not sure what a “conversation” is or how Red Bubble tells them apart. I doubt it’s by reading every single word from every single one daily. (If so, I’m in one HUGE amount of hurt! ROTFLMAO!) Amanda, I just lost every single thing we’ve talked about, every single word. I don’t even know how it deleted much less what you said in the unopened Bmail. Worse, you probably don’t know what I opened already or haven’t even seen yet. Hopefully this new mail system will allow you to cut and paste everything on a new Bmail and send it all back to me. Otherwise we start over right now: “Hello, my name is Lenny…” LMAO! If there’s a new incoming mail filter, I don’t know where it is and would LOVE to hear about it. Bottom line, if you don’t get replies to Bmail from me in a timely manner, or you don’t get replies at ALL, your message lost somewhere in or accidentally deleted from (currently) 56 “live” Bmail from both friends and hosts, some of which are very prudent with group Bmail and some…. well, you know. I’m writing the advisory email to Red Bubble while hoping/urging everyone who’s now feeling like I do – totally buried in a tidal wave of completely unsortable incoming mail – to let your feelings be known. Red Bubble listens but they will need to hear something to listen to it. I’m one voice in the wind unless others who are also in the wind make yourselves heard. Honestly, I’m not complaining about change. Changes recently have been extremely good here in RB. Even this one has the SUPER benefit of allowing you to read what someone is replying to that you wrote but can’t remember for the life of you. LOL! However, the loss of control is so radical I’m afraid I’m going to lose track of many of you and lose the mail I really WANT to read from people I really what to talk to. My only other option is to pull everything out of groups and quit them to filter my mail to just people who want/need to reach me. I’m not giving up on a single one of you and losing all membership to groups is a tiny price to pay to achieve that. Only friends and strangers have purchased my work, only friends and strangers have supported my work. I thank and cherish you ALL. I consider every one of the wonderful featurings and mentions within groups to be from individuals within groups because that’s what they are. I’ve won no challenges nor contests, which would be ‘group’ related/created. Yet, people who have only seen a single thing I produced and submitted to a single group have honoured me. That didn’t come from a group; that came from one group with the fine people in the Red Bubble community. :-) So, I’ll write to Red Bubble and beg for a return to some sort of the former normalcy in Bmail or dump all groups except the ones I host, co-host, or moderate by the 20th of this month. That’s about as long I can stand not to have contact with you: my friends receiving notification of this by watchlist along with those following my contributions – hitting my site to the tune of 37,000 hits in 12 months or 3000 HITS PER DAY!!! That’s my indication of your incredible support. :-D Thank you most sincerely. That MORE than warrants my every possible effort to stay in touch with individuals I dearly hold in high esteem. You people ROCK!

I think we all take ‘something’ for granted, whether it’s heat in the winter, or that the television will turn on when we hit the power button, we’ll have food in the fridge when we open the door, and yes sometimes we even take friendships for granted. We just know that those people will always be there. Sometimes we get busy with what we want to do and get involved with the ‘me’ outlook. “I need to get this done”, “I want to work on this”, “I have to go there” that when there is a friend in need and calling out for help or comfort, we just know they’ll forgive us and everything will be fine….so we don’t take those 15 minutes to drop everything to lend an ear or a shoulder because they are old friends and will understand. / I got a letter from a dear friend of mine recently, her mom was diagnosed with luekemia, given 3-6 months to live. She took her mom to spend a few days on the beach and when they returned she passed away. That got me thinking about all of this, how much and how often we take each other for granted, assuming “they’ll be there tomorrow, I want to do this right now!” / In June 2001 I was diagnosed with Cancer and given the option of surgery or death. Very simple terms and not really much of a choice, I was very blessed to have a skilled doctor who removed every bit of it, but I live with the knowledge that any day at any moment it could come back and start growing inside of me again, trying to take my life from me. Any one of us could go at any moment…......will those 15 minutes we couldn’t spare for a friend…...be the last 15 minutes we could have had with them??? I know that I don’t ever want to have to wonder that about anyone that is near and dear to me, just some thoughts that have been going through my mind while all this crazy drama has been going on in my life. / I’ll fill you all in later about the drama, but right now I can’t get into it in public, because if the wrong person sees it before it’s time, my children are the ones who will suffer. Sorry for the downer journal entry, but I feel better now that it is out of my system. / Thanks for for the 15 minutes, you could have used doing something else.

30-12-09 Abso-bloomin-lutely Phantasmagorically Good News!!!!!!!!!! That ‘on-loan’ Canon EOS D60 camera and its associated Canon 28-135 USM IR Lens I have been using since my dear departed Milady Fuji (S9600) suffered death by salt water, is now / ALL MINE!!!!!!!!!! It is all thanks to the generosity and friendship of my Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend Greg Brayley and the love and generosity of my youngest Son Michael. My mate Greg rang me two days before Christmas and told me to consider the camera as a Christmas present and the very next day I received a Christmas card from young Michael containing not only well wishes but a Money Order for enough dough to cover the cost of buying the lens from Greg. I cannot find the words to fully describe my feelings of gratitude and admiration for these two men. I am over the moon and forever in their debt. Thus endeth Dennis’ Fuji bridge camera era and thus beginneth his Canon DSLR era. Wotta blast eh?! GB all. / Dennis

It was really delightful to be informed by Karen Cook that my Love Is Lighting Up Somebody Else’s Darkest Moments is being featured side by side with Karen’s at the RB’sFeatured Wall Art And Greeting Cards :D It’s my first feature there, so exciting!! :D Many thanks to the Singapore Group for featuring both Heartstrings and Wish Upon A Star too!! :D My sales in zazzle have also started to pick up, I have 4 sales this week… Sales at Zazzle was really slow for me initially…no sales for first 2 months, it got really discouraging…but thought I would just press on and see how,glad I did because I made close to 20 sales in the last 1 month plus or so,really counting my blessings everyday for that. I am about 3 plus months into Zazzle :D I want to mention special thanks to Ujean for being that constant beacon of light for me at zazzle…for those who are in Zazzle, maybe like me,you may feel like a small fish in the ocean,so tiny and lost there at times. Ujean visited my gallery many times and often gave me encouraging comments and suggestions,enough fuel from her to help me last another 3 months,haha!
