Falling Apart, a Message to Kate Moss

Supermodel Kate Moss, career has fallen apart, in the last week, after we saw pictures of her apparently taking enormous amounts of cocaine. She has already lost lucrative contracts with H&M, Burberry and Chanel; a multi-million dollar contract with cosmetic giant Rimmel still hangs in the balance. Kate has back into rehab and apologized promising to get her life back on track.

Good Luck. Kate you are a great model and I know that most people wish you the best in your recovery, here are my tips for a successful journey.

Accept what you cannot change.

We have all seen the pictures so we know that you have been taking drugs, make the past history. You have a problem with drugs and you need to deal with it before it gets completely out of control. You might have thought that nobody could see the damage you are doing to yourself. Perhaps because you have got away with it for so long you have been kidding yourself. Keep taking drugs at the rate you have been and they will kill you.

Be honest with yourself.

By all means do a TV interview, but there is no need to drag others into it. Don’t try and blame anyone else even if you feel you have been badly let down. Inspire us with your honesty about your addiction; we will respect you for it. Act with integrity, you don’t need the money. Maybe you don’t want to work as much as you are now; perhaps the price you have paid is too high already.

Get clean and sober for yourself first.

In order to be the best mum, to Lila Grace, you need to be selfish and put your recovery first. You are not a bad person, just someone who has got completely out of control.

Seek professional help.

A professional will help you with the many emotions that start to surface as you sober up. Don’t forget there are many well known people who have trodden a similar path to you and have managed very successfully and privately to get off drugs and alcohol, use their experiences.

You are only human.

Thank goodness, you have started to show us your vulnerability, now show us your courageous side. In 6 months time we will forgotten all the sordid images we have seen.

Act as a role model.

Kids everywhere look up to you. Even if every other person in the fashion industry or in the city indulge coke, show them there is life after drugs. You will still be Kate and inspire thousands to follow you.

Trust others.

Your work will come back, if you show your sponsors you have changed. You will be able to leverage your recovery in a very powerful way if you choose to.

Enjoy the journey.

Discover things about yourself you might not like as well as things you actually do like about yourself.

Dump all the people who have colluded with your drug taking.

Your friends who have been keeping you “safe” have resulted in your addictions spiraling out of control.

Sorry is the hardest word to say.

Make amends to those you really care about and have caused upset to. You can do this by just staying clean and sober.

Silly Southern Sayings

If you have a sense of humor, get ready to smile. These sayings are from the deep south.

1. Hinny - Your rear end. Example of use - “Stop doing that or I will paddle your hinny!”

2. Paddle - To spank. Example of use - See above example.

3. Bubba - Any southern male. This term can be applied to a dear male friend or it may be the actual given name of the person you are talking to. Example of use - ” Bubba, I just don’t understand.”

4. Junior - Any southern male. This may also be a real given name. Sometimes it is used to refer to southern males under the age of twenty. Example of use - ” Go ask Junior.”

5. Sed - To say. Example of use - ” I sed I was ready!”

7. Tie a can of rocks to your tail - This saying means what it states. Example of use -
“I ort to tie a can of rocks to your tail!” This statement is usually made to bad child.
It is only an expression. As far as I know, this task is impossible to actually do.

8. About to pop - This saying describes being full after eating a great southern meal.

It is usually said to a child asking for the moon.

11. Wait until the cows come home - This saying means that you could be waiting quite a while. Example of use- ” Why, you could wait until the cows come home for that phone to ring.” In the south, the cows usually return home just before dark but, sometimes they get confused and stay in the pasture, woods or fields instead of returning back to the barn area for feeding. You never know, with cows. They may come home or not.

12. Hit the bushes - To go to the bathroom. Example of use - ” I will pull the car over and you can hit the bushes.”

Example of use - ” I tried to be nice to her but, she is a heifer.”

Example of use - ” Go to the races? That dog will hunt.”

16. Mouth of the south - A gossip. This term is used to describe a southern person who tells it all to everyone. Example of use - ” Why did you tell that mouth of the south anything?”

17. Ruts - Beginnings. This word can also describe the roots of your hair or the roots of a plant or a refference to your heritage or family. Example of use - ” Have you ever researched your ruts?”

18. A mind to - This means that the person may or may not do what they are thinking about doing. Example - ” I am a mind to paddle your hinny for doing that!”

19. Fixin - This southern word means getting ready to do something. Example of use - ” I’m fixin to go.”

20. Cain’t never could - This southern saying means that if you do not try, then you can’t succeed. Cain’t, a southern word, is a cross between are not, can’t and the southern word ain’t.

That’s all, ya’ll!

I hope that you enjoyed reading these southern sayings as much as I enjoyed writing them.

The Last of the Mohicans

The war novel “The Last of the Mohicans” contains a deep morale in itself. It teaches people that courage is the best solution to fear. Any problems that a person faces can be overcome, and it only takes one step to it-courage.

The characters exhibit courage in many different circumstances. The
novel follows three men traveling through the woods. Two of them are
Mohican Indians, Chingachgook and his son Uncas, and the other is a
white man raised by the Indians, Hawkeye. One day these men encounter
a caravan of English soldiers led by Major Duncan Hayward. This
caravan is in charge of escorting Colonel Munro’s daughters, Alice and
Cora, to Fort William Henry where their father is. When the three
Mohicans encounter the group they decide that they will help lead the
English to the Fort, but what they do not know is that the evil Magua
is out to get them, this fact leads to an endless chase.

Through this long game of chase many of these characters exhibit a
great deal of courage. Cora overcomes many fears that one would not
believe she could handle. When the group decides to hide in a dark
cave as being traced by the Hurons, Cora does not seem alarmed by
this, “‘is then our danger so pressing’” . At one point in the
novel Magua captures her sister and Cora is left with a decision to
make, surrender herself to the enemy to be with her sister or to run
away, “notwithstanding the horror excited by the presence of her
captorshe took her seatand held forth her arms for her sister”.
Cora knows that she must take care of her sister. At the end of
the novel Cora is captured by Magua and is being dragged along as he
is trying to escape the Mohicans, and Cora knows that she must stop.
She exclaims to the Magua that she, “will go no fartherkill me if thy
wilt detestable HuronI will go no farther”.

Although Magua is an evil character, he shows both moral and physical
courage. Magua has a strong moral courage, even after he is struck by
Hawkeye; he does not stop trying, “turning a relentless look on his
enemyhe shook a hand in grim defiance”. He knows that he must
not give up. His morals are not good, but he believes strongly in
them, “while he was making this ostensible sacrifice to general
considerationsMagua never lost sight of his individual motives”.

He does not let things stand on his way or change his mind; he
will hold close to his morals not matter what. This is what keeps him
from being defeated, he is extremely, and physically, courageous and
will not stop fighting until he is defeated, but unfortunately for
him, he is overcome by Hawkeye and his courageousness finds a quick
ending.

Uncas shows a great deal of courage in the novel as well, even though
bullets are flying over his head Uncas does not lose his concentration
and keeps paddling on. Most of Uncas’ courageous strength is due to
his physical qualities, he is determined to rescue Cora, and will not
give up. He often illustrates, through courage, a superhuman quality
that ultimately leads him to death, but he lacks courage in the moral
aspect. Uncas is a strong and courageous man, and he is determined
that he will never fail in what he tries to do, even if it leads him
to death.

Through out the length of the novel Hawkeye exhibits all three acts of
courage, expressed in three different ways, inner, physical, and
moral, and it would take all three of these acts to be able to leave
off the land. He has a strong and brave soul that allows him to do
this, he is confident in himself and his actions too.

All of these characters exhibit much strength in the inner, physical
and moral aspect. Cora, Magua, and Uncas, all show courage in
different ways, but lack in others. Hawkeye on the other hand shows
courageous acts abound. It seems like Cooper made the main character
of the novel the most courageous, because of all of the problems that
he faces, not only does Hawkeye have to face them but he also
overcomes them. He is strong at heart and body, which allows him to
overcome difficulties. With The Last of the Mohicans Chingachgook, the
Indian is meant. He and his son Uncas are the last of the tribe of the
Mohicans, and after Uncas was murdered Chingachgook was the last of
the Mohicans.
