The Dragon Age Calendar Project: Save a Life

You may or may not have heard about this, depending on how active you are in the Dragon Age fanart community on DeviantArt buta young artist needs at least 2000 USD to ease her hefty hospital bills. Yes, many of us have never seen so much money in our lifetime but a life depends on it as she is to undergo a heart-valve operation.

So what can you do to help?

You could order the Heroes & Champions 2012 Calendar which features the player characters belonging to the many of the talented deviantART fanartists.

A digital copy of the calendar will be sold for 15 USD. There are some pretty awesome gifts which will be raffled amongst the participants. For those who donate more than the price of the calendar, each 15 USD donated will give you an extra chance to win the raffle.

The price will include a digital copy of the complete calendar and the sketch book with any other characters that did not get a spot on the calendar. Calendar images will come in 3 formats: Pdf ready to print wall calendar, computer wall paper calendar single images, and clean wallpaper images in case you don't want to have them in your computer with all the numbers and weekdays.

Pre-orders will be taken from November the 7th until the release date of the calendar, which will be due on December the 15th.

The raffle gifts are as follow:

· If we reach USD 1000: A printed copy of the calendar

· If we reach USD 1250: A T-shirt with the calendar image of your choice

· If we reach USD 1500: Promo A4 image of Fenris , signed by his voiceover actor Gideon Emery at MCM Expo in London, 28 October 2011

Fake Body Jewelry Annoys Me

I've never been the kind of person to fake anything. I'm 100% honest about what I have and what I don't have. I don't have many morals, but honesty is extremely important to me. This is why fake body jewelry annoys the shit out of me.

REAL

I've had many piercings and have 2 tattoos. I don't have a lot of body mod done, but I love what I have and want to get more stuff done. I don't do piercings very well. Over the years I've pierced a few different things and have had to take the piercing out because my body rejected it so intensely.

I was looking around online for tips on piercing your own nose. While the thought crossed my mind to do it myself, I'm not sure I have the balls to actually do it. One of the tips I brought up said to just wear a clip on or a fake. This made my heart sink.

FAKE

Ok, honestly, you shouldn't pierce yourself. Especially if you are a child, and yes 16 is a child! Sorry, get over it! But if you are a grown adult, and you know how to use a needle, and you can handle pain and not fuck up your face... then and only then should you pierce your own flesh. Like I've said before, let a friend help you. And kiddies... don't even try this shit. Get the real shit done by a professional. Save the money and stop thinking it's rebellious it's just a piece of jewelry not in your ears! And please God, don't wear fake jewelry.

Fake jewelry looks fake. It looks like you are taking the slacker road. Like you can't man up and get your shit done. Fake jewelry is a cop-out. And fake tattoos are even worse. They annoy me to no end. It's so unappealing and only makes you seem like a fake yourself. Harsh reality guys!

If you want to be a bad ass, then get some of the mods done in this video. I mean, when you look at how far these people will go to make their bodies look like art, and then you look at your Clair's clip ons... you just kinda look like an asshole!

Amazing Piercing

Malevolent Death

What do you think of when you hear the term "radical parenting"? For most people, they generally assume parents are choosing to raise their children either with extreme force or by being extremely lenient on their children. Either way, we suppose that parents are using some form of an extreme discipline technique or techniques.

Radical parenting, is a new trend that many first time parents are starting to follow. The idea is that children are capeable of learning things a lot faster than we think. While babies and children still need attention and cuddling, it's becoming more common for families to let their children work things out own their own. It's also becoming a more popular trend to teach children earlier in life.

It's no surprise that children are growing up faster these days. With television and technology use at it's all time high, children are soaking up more information than any generation before.

Is it a good idea? Well, that's kind of the point. Parent's are becoming more vocal about their attempts to create their own style of raising children. I'm not thinking that anyone is expecting a 2 year old to be reading Playboy. However, it probably is a good idea to start teaching sex ed. to children at younger ages.

There's no way to stop our children from growing up fast. Unless you are Amish, or a TV-Nazi! And let's face it, we want to keep up with the times!
