American Safari.


As an Alien Migrant I crave for more information about the land I have “invaded”. One day I picked up a local newspaper to learn what is happening in around me.


Apparently, most of the crimes are aimed at Transgender black women in age group of 15-34 with odds of 1 in 2600 which is roughly 0.03% as they claim in Hullabaloo in the article here.

I went to USA Stats Office to check. First of all, these are roughly the odds of any American to die from a gunshot. Annually 19 thousands Americans are killed in gun-related events. Divide 19000 by 324 millions and you will get ~  0.01% but these numbers are different depending where you look - you will get ~ 0.0045% if to infer from Visualizing gun deaths on this page.

Every death is a drama though!!! Last week, for example, we had two armed robberies  few steps away from our place. Fingers crossed I will survive American Safari.

Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )

Few days ago my friend Bartek sent to me this picture: It is a view from his window. Transport/communication in Lublin at the time of this white precipitation was paralysed. Bartek asked me to stop uploading pictures of sunny Australia : ) if I want to save him from depression.
