I’m so proud of my hockey club, especially Kevin Bieksa for carrying on the legacy of Rick Rypien, with this new website designed to help our youth struggling with mental illness. Rick Rypien was a long time suffer, of depression, and chose to end his life instead of live it. He’s missed by all of us, but for the ones that also suffer, like me, this website helps bring awareness, to an often misunderstood affliction.
For any of the young tumblr’s out there, thinking they may be struggling, with something going on inside that may not feel right. Please message me and I’d be more then willing to answer questions, or offer a word of support. You’re never alone and don’t struggle all by yourself.

This evening model Nettie Harris came over to my pad for a photo shoot. She begged me to put on The Runaways and tell her stories about those magical days of 1977 with Joan and Cherie. I put on the music, told her the stories and then I took this photo of Nettie!

Stiff coiffures, overdone eyes and defined lips are out, while tousled hair, smudged eyeliner and dewy lips are in.

Whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment, you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.
It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique.
Your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound reinvention.

An article on Monday about Jack Robison and Kirsten Lindsmith, two college students with Asperger syndrome who are navigating the perils of an intimate relationship, misidentified the character from the animated children’s TV show “My Little Pony” that Ms. Lindsmith said she visualized to cheer herself up. It is Twilight Sparkle, the nerdy intellectual, not Fluttershy, the kind animal lover.

The writing is flat from the first. One by one, the characters return in the opening episode in a way that feels as if they’ll be greeted upon entry by Lenny-and-Squiggy-style applause. Plots unfold clumsily, and relationships are teased out past the point of believability. A few hours in, you’ll become able to say a character’s lines seconds before he or she says them. You’ll no sooner think of a question or historical point (what about the Spanish flu of 1918?) than it is suddenly addressed. And a couple of deathbed scenes would give soap-opera writers a fit of the giggles. It’s as if the United Kingdom has finally returned a gift America gave it years ago: ‘Knots Landing.’
