No Photography Class and Saving a Houseboat

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 20, 2009, 12:56 AM


All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person.


I'm coming down with the flu. For weeks I have been fighting it, but now, I am coming down with it and it's not nice.
Last night I felt really, really bad, so when the gti called me and told me that my photography teacher couldn't make it to class, I was relieved. I got to stay home, drink loads of tea and get better. :) That's the me part.

Now we're on to somebody else. I think loads of you know :iconphotonig: and read his journal about how he is desperately hoping to keep his business and his house boat "September Song". That journal almost broke my heart and it broke :iconrealta-eireann:'s heart as well. We sit next to each other at work and therefore, the two crazy Germans in Ireland came up with the idea that if people are willing to chip in for somebody who drowned his camera, then in a true Christmas spirit, people would probably also be willing to help good ole Sir Nig keep his houseboat, so he can continue to spread his Nigel joy to the world. Nigel is always a good friend to everybody and can give so much and even during his hard times he thinks of others. I think it is time that somebody thought of him and gave back to him.
We therefore set up a ChipIn Account for the ole man.

Save the Houseboat

Now you guys, let's get donating, so Nigel can keep his home and his business. You have until Christmas Eve before the ole man get's to collect his prezzie!
It doesn't really matter how much you contribute. As long as you got a job and can spare something like $1, that's alright. I guess everything will help to pay the bills. He's not a greedy one you know. He's probably going to cry when he sees this, the ole softie.

That's it for today! :)

I would like to take a minute & thank you folks for doing such a wonderful thing for Nigel.

You must be an awesome person or persons to give straight from the heart like that, this world needs more people like you.

Thank you for doing what you have done, you have made my day & I know Nigel has a big smile on his face because of what you have done, I am sure he will have to wipe away the tears, but they will turn to tears of joy...Thanks again, ~James

Ah, it's really no big deal. Basically, what we are doing is going around and begging for money. :)
Nigel has always had a kind word for me and I think he deserves some kindness back.
Besides, a lot of people can't imagine what it feels like if you are self-employed and depending on your physical health and then fate strikes and you're left with nothing. It's hard.
We both come from a country where people generally fall softly, but living in the U.S. and Ireland has taught me that you can also fall hard on your behind, because other countries don't have such a great safety net in place to catch the unfortunates.
And it's Christmas soon. Time to give a little, before the prezzies come rolling in. ;)

Ah, no big deal ? It took probably everything Nig had to write that journal & for all of you to put together something like that, it gives me hope, that there are still kind & caring people out there...:tighthug: :handshake: Thank you, ~James

Thanks for your nice comment on 'Opossum.' I think they are kind of cute also.
