This one is possibly abit odd for me to write, possibly even more worse for me to try and word exactly how i feel, yet as i sit here with gritted teeth, i can only think of how much i would like to see other people in the situation i'm about to tell you, just to see what they would do, when others did their actions against them.... If that didn't make sense, don't worry it will soon.
Last christmas (2012) 19 month old Millie-Rose Heaton was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma.
Wiki describes it as....
"
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy, with an annual incidence of about six hundred and fifty cases per year in the U.S., and a hundred cases per year in the U.K. Nearly half of neuroblastoma cases occur in children younger than two years. It is a neuroendocrine tumor, arising from any neural crest element of the sympathetic nervous system (S.N.S.). It most frequently originates in one of the adrenal glands, but can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis.
Neuroblastoma is one of the few human malignancies known to demonstrate spontaneous regression from an undifferentiated state to a completely benign cellular appearance. It is a disease exhibiting extreme heterogeneity, and is stratified into three risk categories: low, intermediate, and high risk. Low-risk disease is most common in infants and good outcomes are common with observation only or surgery, whereas high-risk disease is difficult to treat successfully even with the most intensive multi-modal therapies available.
Esthesioneuroblastoma, also known as olfactory neuroblastoma, is believed to arise from the olfactory epithelium and its classification remains controversial. However, since it is not a sympathetic nervous system malignancy, esthesioneuroblastoma is a distinct clinical entity and is not to be confused with neuroblastoma."
Basically it's a stupidly agressive form of cancer, which from what i'm able to tell isn't great for being survived... espcially when relapse occours.
The Heaton family since this news have been doing what they can to try and get Millie the best medical care that she can have, which is how they have come across a proceedure in Germany, which should help Millie beat it. With this though comes a cost, infact, a BIG cost. Since finding out about the treatment in Germany, the family and friends have been raising what money they can, with some people digging very deep indeed.
At the bottom i will link the facebook page for Millie-Rose so you can all go and donate if you want to, or find out info about any events which are taking place.
However, this is not where my problem lies.
Several times now friends and family have posted on facebook to say about certain rumour's that are going around the town, which could possibly stop people from donating to the cause. I'm here to say it stops. Now.
Now we're in June of 2013 and Millie has literally just turned two years old and is trying her best to battle a killer. People around this community seem to have nothing better to do than to try and bad mouth not only the fund raising work that the people are doing, but to try and create some drama. I can confirm that the money raised goes into a seperate bank account, to which, the family will only be withdrawing from to pay for the operation itself.
The family, are trying to carry on as normal under these circumstances, still trying to keep their other children happy, while their sister does battle. This does include going out for meals, days out etc, trying to make the most of their time together. Yet still, some people turn around and say pathetic things like "Oh they went out and had a meal, that was paid for by all the money being raised" or "Its not an official charity" etc.
My current understanding of the charity system is that Millie can only be classed as a cause, not a charity... when it comes to fund-raising that is. Certain business' within the local area have already refused to help host fund-raising events because there's no charity numbers that can be given, which is fine, they're entitled to do so, but it does speak volumes about that company and how much they're really wanting to help Millie's family when it comes to money.
Other people who start saying all of this rubbish, or who pass it on, are also adding to the problem, so let me put it into simple terms.
Medical treatment for Millie will not be around forever. The uk's NHS cannot do the proceedure which from what i can gather, is only available in germany at the moment. We literally are down to month's to try and raise the money needed and we are not making huge amounts of progress, although the hope is still there that we will.
I can only hope that the people who are creating these rumour's are faced with a dilemma like the Heaton family are, let others spread rumours about them... see how much they like it then.
Some people are shameful.
However, on a more positive note.... Please click here for Millie's facebook page.
Thank you for reading.

Could i make such a big change?
No.
Is, well, simply how to answer the topic of this one.
This time round i'm talking about trans people. Pre-op, post-op, m2f, f2m, transgender, transexual.... whatever you call it these days, this is my relation to the trans part of the LGBT community.
This actually is the first time i think i've ever publically given an opinion when it comes to trans people, but mainly it's because... i'm meeting them. Don't get me wrong, i've never held anything against the trans community, i've just never spent much time trying to look into things, although i think now is the time for me to spend abit more time looking into the rest of the LGBT community as we begin to move for futher equality.
I've always held a little bit of respect for trans people, truth be told. I can't imagine how it must be, to be wanting such a change in my life, having to live as a different sex, knowing that isn't the true me. My only slight feeling like that was knowing i was gay and not telling anybody, but all's i had to do was to come out and the job was done, i felt fine as i was. With trans people, thats only the start of their journey and there's always such a long way to go, both mentally and physically.
I also think that some people, wether it's through not knowing enough about trans people or... whatever, it's important to know that despite the whole series of op's and endless mental tasks, trans people are still just that.... people.
It has amazed me recently at how much i've formed a friendship with someone who's still going through the change, for starters, i'd never have known unless he said it to me and i'm amazed that all of my thoughts of what i thought a trans person to be like have been fired out of the window. I mean, with him (You may notice, i'm not naming this person here... that is on purpose... he doesn't know i'm writing this) i've still not sat down and had a good chat about some of the questions that float around my brain. I've seen his scars and have spoken a little bit about what is happening to him etc, but you probably know by now that i'm always the nosie one.
I of course know, even without having to have been told, that each person is going to go through the change for different reasons, i know that each of them do it in a bid to make themselves feel better and truer to them real selves afterwards. I know it cannot be an easy thing to first of all decide, but to go through either.
I do feel that it's all time that we could start to look into the trans community and begin to try and understand it. Of course not everybody is going to agree with it, or like it, but welcome to the rest of the LGBT community.
As i draw to a close, that's about all i can say really. I'm on a learning path and it's a topic that i'll probably never get bored of learning about, but it's also time to join the voices of the trans community and speak out where inequality is seen. I ask you to join me in this and begin making your own learning path.

How to handle a dj, your guide to....
It's actually quite rare for me to do or say something like this, yet as we move forward with all of our techy gadgets, i think it's about time we re-draw the lines on what a dj does, what you can expect and the basic do's and don'ts when it comes to your dj.
Years ago, the typical dj would have some vynal and if you jumped too hard on the dance floor, you'd make the track skip. Then came along cassette tapes, this reduced the track skipping, but was never too much of a popular option with dj's, i mean, who had time for rewinding and fast forwarding tapes? We moved onto cd's, but as with vynal, these tended to skip and of course cd's don't last forever.
These days you'll find most dj's with a laptop and a screen for doing karaoke or playing music video's, not forgetting of course that over the years your typical dj has seen a change in music, attitude and the tech stuff that people have and bring to parties. Here's some of the don't do stuff, that is really going to rub the dj up the wrong way and in the long term, probably make the dj dislike you a little more.
The list really could go on much longer, but i think thats kind of the main stuff coverd there. Now we've coverd most of the don't do's, what about the good to do things?
Us dj's can make or break an event, trust me, it helps to keep us happy!!!!

Here's some of the don't do stuff, that is really going to rub the dj up the wrong way and in the long term, probably make the dj dislike you a little more.
- Don't ask if you can plug in your mp3 player.
- Dj's these days are packed with their own music, if they don't have what you want then try asking for something a little more popular, they're bound to have it. If you want a party where you and your mp3 player are the dj, hire your own sound and lighting equipment. - Don't tell the dj to turn a song off part way through, or complain it's not what you like.
- Dj's are there to play all sorts of different songs, just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's not liked by someone else at the event. It's also possible these days to have an empty dance floor, yet everyone who's sat down to be enjoying the song. - Don't expect the dj to be the baby sitter.
- While it is possible for dj's to be vetted out with all these criminal checks and such, we are there to dj, not look after your children. If a fire door is open and your child walks through it, it's still your child. If a child goes near dj equipment, sure, LED lighting isn't hot to the touch, yet smoke machines can still give off alot of heat and of course cables can be tripped over and most importantly, everything the dj is is electrical, theres always a risk of shock. Look after your children at events!!!! - Don't complain to the dj if your song cannot be played.
- More and more often these days, 10 minutes before the end of the party, i'll have a que of people requesting songs. They forget all the people that have asked for songs before them and as a result, some people get un-happy when told "Im sorry, i've not got time to play that". Always get your requests in early, us dj's know when to play songs and when not to, so if it's not played next, it will be on soon. - Don't keep asking for the same song over and over again, we get bored, so do the crowed.
- This happend alot when gangnam style first came onto the scene, it wasn't rare for me to have to play it 2/3 times per party. I quickly grew tired of the song, but so did the crowed. You may well love a song, but when it comes to keeping the love of that song, less certainly is more.
The list really could go on much longer, but i think thats kind of the main stuff coverd there. Now we've coverd most of the don't do's, what about the good to do things?
- Do give us compliments!
- We're cheap, if we've chosen the right music for you and at the end of the event you've really enjoyed yourself, please give us some feedback. If you see an area for improvement, we will always listen, but make sure you're just going to insult us. - Do understand our job.
- As a dj, our job is to cater to the masses. If you request a song that you and us know, only you are going to want to sing along to, we're probably not going to play it, because we're too busy trying to keep the majority of people happy. - Do speak to us before the event.
- Dj's who work for agencies will know exactly where i'm coming from here. The first time we'll have contact with the person who's party it is, will be at the event... even then it's down to us to say hello to you? No. It's your party and while we are there to cater to the masses, it's down to you to tell us what sort of music you and your audience will like. - Do leave us to get on with our work.
- Even though we may be using a laptop, there's alot of skill that still goes into being a dj that you might not understand. Sometimes it can be playing around with the base levels, mixing, controling the lights etc, theres usually something for a dj to do, even if it's just thinking ahead as to what the next track will be. For all of this, we need our brain, so if you're not requesting a song then please leave us to get on with our work. - Do enjoy yourself!
- Can't believe i even have to put this, but yes, enjoy yourself at an event! You're all there to enjoy yourself in one way or another, so what if the lights a little bright, the music's a little loud, it's a party, enjoy it!
Us dj's can make or break an event, trust me, it helps to keep us happy!!!!

Let's talk about sex.
Hi mum, stop reading.
Hi nana, i didn't know you could use the itnernet but the same applies to you as above.... oh and any other family reading...
As i sit here at 4:10am typing this out, i can feel that my sexual fire's have been relit and it feels... amazing. You see for me sex has always been abit of a "blah" kind of topic, sure i've made endless sexual jokes and certainly had some fun in my time, but for a while now i've kept myself back from the sexual scene.... until recently.
Sex for me as some of you may have read before started at a young age, fooling around. It wasn't amazing, but it was fun while it lasted. As i've grown up and moved from relationship to relationship and of course had the usual one night stands, sex has always been a part of my life. Sex for me has never really been mind blowingly amazing, i mean sure, it was fun, but there was never really something that made me sit up and go "wow, that was ace, lets do it again".
After my last attempt at sex was kind of awful, i wanted to keep myself back, partly through a lack of confidence and motivation. I was busy finding myself out first (in a sort of personality sense). I had a lack of confidence because of a lack of money... yes, money of all things. This was all until recently.
I changed a few weeks ago and it was literally over nothing, but already, i've got a plan in store.
You see, while random sex is all fun and games, it does allow a person to practise and learn, for me, this is just what is needed. Sure i will return to dating soon, but for the mean time, im just having fun and lots of it.
Along the way this time, im learning new things about myself and continuing to impress myself with what im now able to do. Yes, that does reffer to certain things in the bedroom, which maybe one day i'll explain to you about.
But for now... my sex life is making a come back :)

Let's do the time warp... again?
It's commonly known that for MANY years before recent history, LGBT rights and the whole community was subject to some pretty horrendous stuff. Beatings, police raids, death, being forced into mental hospitals etc, all form a part of the history.
Since i've been around, even i've seen massive improvements. You can't help but notice that "gay marriage" is a topic around the world that has got people talking and of course shows a rare bit of progress (either in place or on its way).
Amazingly though, while the different parts of the gay community celebrate world wide, i think many of us are forgetting some of our own kind as we take to our own excitement for progress.
Have a little read of this....
"A law in the city of St Petersburg law equates homosexuality with paedophilia and was passed by the city on February 29 of last year – despite more than 270,000 people signing an online petition against the measure.
Last year, St Petersburg authorities permitted a rally against homophobia, but its participants were attacked by masked thugs, none of whom were arrested."
Yup, thats right, Russia, of all places.
This is something i've known of for a little bit of time now, but tbh, feel kind of limited as to what can actually be done. In most cases you'd be able to try and push your own government to atleast speak up about this issue, but in truth, none of them seem keen to do so at the moment which IS now starting to cost lives.
Gay pride as we all know is held world over, yet still remains illegal in russia under the current laws, those who do attend them are often arrested or face being beaten. THIS is what has to change.
But how exactly do you change russia? You see, this is an age old question i've often asked myself and tbh, i should be watching india given what my friend was explaining to me the other day.
See in Indian law, everybody is equal... that's right, in India, you can already marry a person of the same sex, great news right? Kind of... see while the law has kept ahead of many other parts of the world, it's also kept ahead of peoples own opinion's in the country, which apparently, can still lead to some homophobic things being said etc.
With Russia, i'd love to know if it is just the laws that are changing to become stupidly homophobic, or do these laws now actually represent the voices of the people in the country?
I guess it's something we won't find out for a while yet anyway, but either way WE ALL need to push for change with this, so if you see any petition's, then sign them, lets not leave people open to attack under laws which we all know... are crazy.

The London Incident.
So news on 19/05/2013 was this....
"
A gay couple who were walking through a park in south London during the early hours of this morning have been viciously assaulted by a gang of men with one of the attackers saying “stay down faggot.”
The incident happened on Sunday 19 May at around 12:30am.
Christopher Bryant, 42, and his partner Damon Truluck, 38, were walking home across Betts Park in Penge, in the London Borough of Bromley, when six men approached them.
Speaking to PinkNews.co.uk on Sunday afternoon, Mr Bryant said: “We saw them too late to get away. We ran, and I was getting away, but they caught Damon, my partner, and so I doubled back. I tried to get them off him, and that’s when they thumped me to the ground.
“When I looked up to see if he was ok one of them kicked me in the face, and said ‘stay down faggot’. Every time I looked up to see what was happening to Damon they either thumped or kicked me, and said ‘don’t try anything’. They went through my pockets and took my wallet and phone. But they kept hitting. Before they ran off they pushed us together and told us to stay still for 5 minutes or they’d kill us.”
The assault took place just hours after Mr Bryant celebrated his 42nd birthday. He suffered multiple injuries to his face.
Mr Truluck suffered injuries to his back and hip – and is currently finding it difficult to walk.
The couple have now been released from hospital.
Mr Bryant is originally from Cornwall and Mr Truluck from Essex.
The Metropolitan Police Service say they are investigating the incident and have told PinkNews.co.uk that so far no arrests have been made.
Before the attack, both men were raising awareness of Friday’s International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia through online magazine http://www.polarimagazine.com, of which Mr Bryant is the editor."
The orig story was posted to facebook, but was picked up on by several gay news media outlets, who have claimed that this was a homophobic attack, presumeably going on that he was told to "stay on the floor faggot", but this is where i've yet ANOTHER problem with the gay news.
See to me, this screams out "mugging" and NOT "homophobic attack". How can i come to that conclusion?
A homophobic attack will take place because of a persons sexuality or presumptions over it. Of course, anything can happen during the attack, only last week a man in russia had been found after he'd been violated vith beer bottles to his anus etc, this was confirmed that the attack took place because of the man's sexuality and the country's laws being changed to some quite homophobic extremes.
The attack in london, you may have noticed, didn't take place because they were a gay couple, that was not the motive. This attack had the motive of a typical mugging, which is... "I think you've got what i want and im going to hurt you until i get it, or something of that value". Although the term faggot is thrown around, it's a term which some people have taken from america, where the term is used in a homophobic way, let's still remember that a faggot in the UK is a meatball in gravy thats from scotland.
I do of course though have to face the obv question that everyone has been asking, i mean, WHY are two men innocently walking through a park at night? Where they just walking home, or were other activites taking place?
Of course the pair wouldn't admit to it if they were doing anything and i should point out at the moment that there's nothing to say why they were there for certain, but i personally have my doubts.
I also personally, if i was the one who they couldnt have gotten hold of, would have kept running until i was certain they were not following me, then called for help (Ie, the police) and given a full description and of course helped officers get to the scene once they had arrived in the area, that way theres more chance that the attackers would have been caught, but again, this is purely a split second decision made on the spot and the main person shouldn't face any questioning over his motive to try and save his friend from the attack, which he later found himself in.
There's always going to be attacks like this happening, my reasoning for doing this blog is a very simple one.... simply put, this isn't a homophobic attack, but it is yet again a prime example of how the gay media does love to roll over and play the victim, trying to show the gay community to be under constant attack, when truth of the matter is.... were not always under attack.

The attack in london, you may have noticed, didn't take place because they were a gay couple, that was not the motive. This attack had the motive of a typical mugging, which is... "I think you've got what i want and im going to hurt you until i get it, or something of that value". Although the term faggot is thrown around, it's a term which some people have taken from america, where the term is used in a homophobic way, let's still remember that a faggot in the UK is a meatball in gravy thats from scotland.
I do of course though have to face the obv question that everyone has been asking, i mean, WHY are two men innocently walking through a park at night? Where they just walking home, or were other activites taking place?
Of course the pair wouldn't admit to it if they were doing anything and i should point out at the moment that there's nothing to say why they were there for certain, but i personally have my doubts.
I also personally, if i was the one who they couldnt have gotten hold of, would have kept running until i was certain they were not following me, then called for help (Ie, the police) and given a full description and of course helped officers get to the scene once they had arrived in the area, that way theres more chance that the attackers would have been caught, but again, this is purely a split second decision made on the spot and the main person shouldn't face any questioning over his motive to try and save his friend from the attack, which he later found himself in.
There's always going to be attacks like this happening, my reasoning for doing this blog is a very simple one.... simply put, this isn't a homophobic attack, but it is yet again a prime example of how the gay media does love to roll over and play the victim, trying to show the gay community to be under constant attack, when truth of the matter is.... were not always under attack.

The words have left me....
This isn't a kind of "feel sorry for me" blog or even more of a ranty style, it's just purely for the fact that yet again, i've sat infront of facebook, wanting to put a status update and not finding the words to put there to express what's going on in my life, or how im feeling.
This is not like me.
There's been a few things happening over the past few weeks that have gotten me into this state, i mean, where to begin with the job centre? Who currently think it's fine to leave me 6 weeks with no money what-so-ever, and i swear to god, if they ask me to fill in one more bit of paperwork, i'll be having a meltdown there.
Maybe it's just the depressing sight that yet again, because of a lack of money, the cubards are empty and i'm currently trying to figure out if 5 tins of ravioli and 3 packs of noodles can be stretched over a two week period.
Maybe it's eventually caught up that i'm watching others go off and be able to do their own thing, where as i can't do what i want, when i want, because i simply don't have the money, or more recently, i don't have the ability to concerntrate.
That alone i'm finding REALLY difficult recently, i've often found myself in a mental battle with myself to keep my attention where it should be instead of just looking off into the distance and not saying anything to anyone.
Christ knows what's up with me recently, so for all the people who are thinking i've been abit quiet or off recently, i have, i know it and i will be back one day, it just won't be today. Don't know what it is beating me down, but as per, this won't last :)
