Make it stop- The story of Angel-Elina

I have been following news lately and my eyes picked up one interesting and topical story which is the story of Angel-Elina. It's a story of a girl who made a tragic and final decision because of bullying: Suicide. And now a writer Minttu Vetenterä has done a book about the subject and that has caused scandal because some peoples question the truth of this story. As example they say that the dying day of the girl is a false one, well of course it is do you really thing that the parents of that poor girl really want to show the real dying day in public, they probably want to do they mourning in peace. Try to realise that this is just a story that is based an truth and some things has been changed to protect the privacy. I also have to ask how far are the journalists ready to go just to get a story. If you ask me this kind of cases should leave alone and let the girl rest in peace even if she was not real. 

This is sad case and I want that instead of wondering is this Angel-Elina real or not you try to prevent bullying in your school, workplace or where ever it could happen. I hope that if you see someone being bullied you go to defend that poor victim and don't just look away.


 So if you want know more here is a link for some of the news about this case (Unfortunately these news are in finish):

I find this story particularly interesting because I have been bullied in school so I know how it feels and there is never too much talk about that subject. I also find it interesting because it's sad and somehow even comical that peoples worry about that has the girl never excited or not when we should instead focus on that what the story tells since it's a sad truth that countless peoples around world plan or has done suicide because of bullying so I must ask that why we speak so much about that is this one case real when that time could be used to prevent new cases.  

I don't know is the story real and I will not make comment about that since it is not in my judgment and I find it to be irrelevant.

Well let all the victims of bullying rest in peace and let their memory be honoured.

Rise Against- Make it stop

And this little Native-American prayer is for those who struggle whit bullying:

Hold On

Hold on to what is good,
Even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if someday I'll be gone away from you.

Where is Rian ?

Well you may have noticed that Rian has not been published for some time... Well reason for that is simply the fact that I have run out of ideas... I haven't told you this earlier because I have had so much to do and I had some minor technical problems also...

So those who whish to see Rian again: Be patient I gather some ideas and write some new ones and start publishing again probably some time during August or September... 

Meantime I focus to my art studies, at the moment I am studying the anatomy of human in order to be able to draw figures better... Main reason for my studies is that I plan a new cartoon whit little bit better drawing style and bit more dark themed actually a lot more dark themed... But no more of that now since I am no even sure will I ever do that new cartoon.

 Well what more I could say: I just graduated from high school and try to go studying graphical design during next year after I have accomplished my army... Or then I try to get in a art university... well I am not sure is it university but something like that... Here in Finland it goes by name: Kuvataideakatemia which is in English: Art Academy

Well In the end I want to say: Adrian Von Ziegler is a great composer... Well let the music speak: 
The Stormbringer
Dance whit the trees 
Breath of the Forest
Feather and Skull

Marmot radio

Comeback of Rock Final.

For the sake of clarify here are the lyrics:
 

WELCOME TO THE ROCK'N ROLL FOREST

There is a story of marmot and a rocking moose, there is a rabbit whit a base and the beard guy on the drums.

There is the rock and there is the blaze, moose playing guitar like a devil, marmot sinning like a howling wind, rabbit whit a base playing like the thunder, beard guy spanking the drums like a crazy goose.

There is no sense in these lyrics, but do you care, this is the rock this is the play. You cannot deny, you like it or not. You decide. But hey if you hate it, be silence and cover your ears.

Wind is howling as the marmot rise shouting: there is the rock and there is the blaze. This is the forest of rock'n roll here is the rock and here is the blaze.

Sanity is overrated, let music take you high, we are here to have fun not to be like a old plum. So haters shut it up and cover your ears this is the music this the blaze.
