How will ASEAN lead to climate action?
By: The Asian Affairs
Tags: Asean, Japan, Climate, South Korea, China

Asian climate leadership is rising, with three major economies, Japan and South Korea by 2050, and China by 2060, recently promising to decarbonize their economies towards net-zero targets.

In particular, our area is exposed to threats from climate change, including increasing sea levels and weather changes that can affect agriculture and food production. One reminder of the vulnerabilities is the recent extreme floods affecting Indo-China and the Philippines.

The threats have been acknowledged by any country in the region and the Paris Agreement has been approved. Among other priorities, each has vowed to reduce pollution and energy usage or expand the use of renewable energy. The road to execution, however is not easy, particularly as attention and resources have been diverted to pandemic management.

But though climate change adaptation commitments have grown, more will and will have to be done. In order to complement and scale up the individual efforts of nations, cooperation among Asean nations will be fundamental.

At present, it’s fledgling. ASEAN countries issued a large and very limited joint statement at COP25 in 2019 on sustainable forest management, energy intensity reduction, sustainable land transport and fuel economy, as well as mitigation of climate disaster risk. But it contained few implementation specifics.

Bilateral agreements will jumpstart the drive towards a region-wide climate initiative. Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu, and Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Pandjaitan, highlighted the benefits of creativity, investment and cooperation at the recent Singapore Dialogue on Sustainable World Resources. Three areas have emerged as exciting immediate regional cooperation opportunities.

The need to build resilience to future risks especially climate resilience, has been underscored by the pandemic. For real change, a genuinely multilateral effort is required. The first move for Asean is to come together as a climate action-focused group, take stock of and re-energize efforts towards joint objectives ahead of next year’s COP26.

You might like my series on Climate Change “Living in Bomb Time” or my article “It’s Raining in Antarctica and the Arctic is on Fire”. I’m trying to give a realistic picture of where we are with Climate Change because I don’t think most people realize just how deep the shit we are standing in has gotten. I was not exaggerating when I said that we are looking at reaching between 2–3C by 2050 and 4C by 2080. That number represents only the amount of CO2 we have already put into the atmosphere and assumes we get to Net Zero by 2050. It is at once both conservative and optimistic. The reality is likely to be worse.

The IPCC estimate is that if we reach 4C the capacity of the planet to produce food will decline by 50%. In the reports it is always assumed that this will gradually happen over the next 80 years. We could easily see a drop of 20–30% by 2050. This is going to be incredibly destabilizing as I don’t see over a billion people quietly starving to death “in place” because it’s inconvenient for the rest of us to relocate and feed them.

The role of navies in piracy suppression is going to explode because the oceans are about to get infested with pirates and refugees everywhere. Bandits are going to infest roads again and I expect warlord-ism to spread as already weak central governments start to collapse. What’s happening in Guatemala in response to the current cycle of droughts is going to spread as the warming continues to destabilize the global climate.

I spent every Summer of my childhood from 4–14 on one of my relatives farms. I lived on a commune for a year in the 70’s and spent a year in an off the grid cabin in the 80’s. When you farm and live off the land, hell even if you are just growing a garden, weather instability usually means hunger and death. We live in a very heavily armed world. The next world war is bearing down on us and it’s going to be in the form of dozens of conflicts like this happening all at once, all the time.

I would love to write a piece on the military implications of this. Something deeper than “there’s going to be a lot of fighting over resources”. For example, I don’t think we can afford a “Great Power” war with China in either the hot or cold variety. We need to rapidly be reaching an understanding and engaging in cooperative projects, like keeping the world’s sea lanes open.

We really need to be building a new style fleet for this and changing the current force mix. We are still building a fleet for the last war and the 20th instead of the 21st and what’s coming. We should also be increasing the size of the Coast Guard by a factor of at least 5. It will take decades to do, and we are going to need it. If things get as bad as think they will, we are going to have coastal communities' in the US raiding each other by 2050.

Anyway, I enjoy your articles and would love to hear if you have any thoughts on what Climate Change is going to mean for the world’s militaries in the coming decades.

Priorities for Administrative Action on Carbon Removal in 2021+
Tags: Climate, Climate Action, Carbon Emissions, White House, Policy

Below is the executive summary of Carbon180’s Transition Book: Priorities for Administrative Action on Carbon Removal in 2021+. Please direct any inquiries to hello@carbon180.com.

We are at the inflection point for stopping climate change. Growing public awareness and mobilization alongside increasingly devastating impacts from wildfires, hurricanes, and drought make clear that this moment is critically positioned for addressing the climate crisis. The next administration will need to take bold action in 2021 and beyond to drastically and swiftly reduce emissions across all sectors of the economy. And while there have been many decarbonization roadmaps that chart that track, there remains a critical piece missing from the climate fight: carbon removal.

The scientific consensus finds that cleaning up the carbon already in the atmosphere — in addition to reducing emissions — is essential to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change and protecting frontline communities across the globe. To hit our climate goals, estimates suggest that we’ll need to deploy a portfolio of solutions on the scale of 10 billion tons of CO2 per year by mid-century. While there has been significant promising innovation over the last decade, investments from the public and private sectors still do not match the scale needed.

Beyond their climate benefits, carbon removal solutions offer enormous economic and social advantages, including generating high-quality jobs, creating new sources of revenue for rural communities, developing new carbon-negative industries, improving biodiversity, and positioning the United States as the leader on carbon removal.

Though there has been growing interest in and action on carbon removal from Congress, there remains a foundational gap between our goals and the current efforts to make them a reality. The next administration should establish leadership on carbon removal in its first 100 days, taking early action to lay the groundwork for and begin actualizing the just carbon-removing economy of the future.

This report serves as a guide for transition teams as they explore pathways for administrative action on climate. We make recommendations for high-priority steps the White House should take within the first 30 days, as well as additional priorities for the first 100 days. For each agency, we outline key actions that can be executed within existing authority and funding. We also propose legislation and a draft first-year budget that the president should pursue in partnership with Congress. Together, these pieces form a comprehensive roadmap for ambitious administrative action on carbon removal.

“Callista Womick statement following West Roxbury, MA #ClimateTrial Verdict” Peter Bowden (Mar 27, 2018) Youtube

“My name is Callista Womick. I live in Dorchester. And my primary motivation was spiritual. We are all part of this planet. It’s an illusion that we’re separate from this. We are all one species on one spherical rock in space, which is easy to forget, you know. You can lose track with all the borders and nationalities and different languages, but we are all one. And what we are putting into the air and the ground right now is poison. We know that it’s poison. It’s poison to us, it’s poison to other things that we share this planet with, and it’s hubristic to think that we can keep poisoning the planet we live on and continue living on it. I don’t know of any other good nearby options and I would rather invest in keeping this place nice, rather than jumping ship. So, it felt unassailably right as part of my spiritual practice and also my duty to my fellow human beings and fellow life forms to do what I did.”

Inspired

Inspiration is all about being curious about life. Seeing everything from a beginners point of view. A perspective of continuous learning, where it’s never finished.

If you believe you know everything you won’t be curious about anything and won’t find inspiration because you will feel you have seen everything. Creating the feeling of excitement and being excitement is the secret of inspiration.

Continue learning and everyday, see things from a completely different view you are usually looking at things. Success is from living a purpose filled life that can only come from continuous excitement and inspiration about life.

Seeing beauty in everyday life, in every situation. Knowing all the challenges and setbacks are meant to test your mindset and the strength of your inspiration, how much you believe in it.

How much hunger you have for what you are interested in will be the cause of what you achieve. Open yourself to life, become inspired by everything, there is so much to be interested in and the more time you spend researching the more inspiration you will create!
Christmas alone

Tags: Present, Hopes And Dreams, Christmas, Alone Time, Magic

The hope is lust forever vain

to strive for more than is the share

of joy as dots on planet earth;

What do you want from this,

the “best time of the year”?

I used to share the hope

of something yet unknown

a light that flickered gold

to mute all darker thought.

But then I saw it raw

the meaning, the complot

the fakeness of a hope

for something yet unknown.
Magic man
Tags: Love, Magic, Poetry, Secrets

A man full of magic

Obsession in his eyes

Breathe in, I’ll find his secret

Breathe out, I’ll find his secret

He desperately aches

and all of his hopes die

Now that he’s alone

all of his hopes died

Here’s this man,

Who’s better

Claims his trick is diff’rent

Similar though to his trick

His secrets

Are they bound in this book?

His writing is ciphered

The intense looks,

Key to the journal

Is this where it ends?

joy eternal

We fall beneath

the slight in the back of our hands

and fail to breathe

because the tank is locked



She had a summer smile

with winter skin

And all along

with his lies and tricks

she went cold within



We fall beneath

the slight in the back of our hands

and fail to breathe

because the tank is locked

You come to me, in your tattered soul way.

Limping a little, some days a lot.

And I bring you coffee.

And you cheer me on, my writing, my sales, my dog walking.

All my victories are our victories.

Your victories are mine too.

The supper that came from nowhere, deft hands mix stir chop.

And there it is.

Wife magic.

And the password needs resetting, and it is obstinate.

To you it is an infraction on your day.

So I fix it, and make the log in work.

Husband magic.

And some days with the kids, it seems there is no magic, only conflict.

Teenagers with heads full of sand castles and digital whispers.

Some days, some days we are their heroes.

But telling us, telling us would be admitting weakness.

So just between you and I.

Just between you and I.

We work our magic, and the house stands for another day.

The sun sets, and you can rest, soon I will close my eyes too.

I can hear your words echo in my head, I cannot imagine my life with anyone else.

Wife magic.
Full Moon Magic.

The Powerful energy o a full moon is “Magical”

As always i apologize for my wording, English is not my primary language.

It’s no secret that witches love the moon, and knowing how to harness the power of each moon phase can amplify your powers and make for some amazing spells. As a matter of fact, regardless of if you identify as a witch or not, most humans feel a connection to Earth’s natural satellite. Witches tend to think of the moon as the mother energy and the sun as the father energy, and I remember looking up at the sky when I was in middle school and feeling comfort in the moon and the knowledge that I could see it the moon from so far away.

The comfort in that particular moment that I derived from mother moon may have had something to do that I had also recently gotten my period. Neither magick nor witch abilities depend on gender or sex, but the menstrual cycle is often compared to the cycles the moon goes through. Considering the moon controls the tides and up to 60 percent of the adult human body is water (the brain and heart are 73 percent), it would make sense to wonder how the stages of the moon affect us. So let’s get straight to the point: We can use magic (devote meditation & energy channeling ) to harness manifesting power of the full moon to help get you the things you want.

To start, as my mentor, friend, and astrologer J. Maters always taught me, the most powerful ingredient in any magick is the spell caster. If you want to do a spell to cut cords with someone (handy when getting over a breakup) but you’re texting the person while ordering this spell, it doesn’t matter that the moon is full — you still need to put down the phone. Likewise, if you’re feeling ultra-aware of your power and want to take your career to the next level, you may feel compelled to do a spell for money and success, so we can use the energy of the full moon and do it.

The full moon is no joke. Some of the wildest nights of my life went down on full moons, what about you? Emotions run high on full moons, and everything is extra intense. We can use this intensity and apply it to basically any spell you like, with the knowledge we have of a bright ball of shining power to aid us.

Spells for the full moon

The Doorstep Dilemma

I had the shampoo all over,

You were there for me before never.

I could see your eyes speak to me,

I was anyway too weak to see.

You wanted to take me for a ride,

With my condition there, I almost cried.

There you stood staring at my face,

As if I had given you any maze.

All the people out there,

Had seen me very rare.

As you stood there with fear,

I moved back and decided what to wear.

Had it been any other summer,

I would have never got to bother.

But this time, you made the move

I couldn’t disagree, just groove!
BALANCE
Tags: Banksy, Balance, Baloon, Life, Magic

Crawling around my lifecycle I fantasized a perfect rescue mission, A magic balloon. A magic balloon that would help me lift the strings of my cycle of life and stretch it linear. A magic balloon that would severe me from the clutches of my beloved planet (not so beloved then) A magic balloon that would take me to the kingdom of stars reigned by the moon queen (or is it queendom). A magic balloon that would help me out of the pointless homework and ultra-pointless humans.

I had my fairy god mother to grant me my magic balloon that would take me to my hearts deepest desire (or that’s what I thought). My magic balloon took me to altitudes I had longed a lifetime. I probably have no clue on how to speak of my mere pleasure experience. But I can assure you that it was pleasure enough for me to wish for another magic tool. A magic anchor to be precise, which would help me be close to the bluey-bluey oceans and surrender to laws of gravity (JK maybe or maybe not).

I still had my fairy god mother all set to grant me the anchor that has turned out to be my hearts newest “deepest desire”. A very happy me took no time to release the anchor. My magic anchor took me lower and lower, every second quenching my thirst for my newfound longing.

Alas! My magic anchor wouldn’t take me any lower nor would my magic balloon take me any higher. For my dearest companions were never supposed to be together nor did I have my fairy god mother to help me with this dilemma (it isn’t me being too greedy to let go of one). So, did I hang in there not so low not so high longing for the touch of stars and oceans. Wondering if I were stuck or balanced….

We have been using magic without even realizing it?

Tags: Newbie, Magic, Paganism, Colors, Magick

Yes !! you read it correctly. We have been using magic without even realizing it. Do you have that lucky shirt you wear to an interview or the your comfy sweater to lift you up. Color magic.

That’s what we will be talking about in this.

What is color magic and how does it work?

Did you know that colors have the abilities to attract different things, and different brands may or may not be using it( lmk if you want me to write about it next)

Lets take a look and color and its correspondences:

Red: courage, strength, power, health, passion and ambition. So when you want to show that you are in charge, and get then to obey you, you know what color to wear. This can also be worn in work place environment.

Orange: energy, vitality, luck. you can wear this to a job interview, or to let people know that you are outgoing person.

Yellow: Creativity, communication, learning. Next time you have exam and need to remember what you studies, wear this color.

Green: health, abundance and nature. Wear this to decrease the chances for getting sick (this does not mean you will never be sick, but it decreases the chances to some extent).

Blue: peace, hope, healing and patience. If you are feeling anxious this color will help you relax

Purple: intuition, wisdom, connection with higher self. This color is good to meditate in, and increasing your intuition of readings.

Pink: affection, friendship, optimism. Good color to wear to make new friends or even ask someone out.

White: New beginning, imagination, purity. If you are feeling foggy wear this color to clear thing out or to start something. *I might or might not be doing it*

Black: protection, silence and elimination. Wear this color to get rid of negative emotions.

Gold: success, courage, setting boundaries. Its a good color to get to know someone better.

Brown: grounding, home and stability. To make people feel more comfortable, or at home feeling wear this color.

*white is always a good choice if you can not choose*

Point to be remembered, Magic is belief so if you correspond red with protection and purple with success it is OKAY. Do not change your beliefs. The above mentioned correspondences are the most common ones if that does not correspond your belief you can change it according to your own.

Now that you know the color magic. You can use it to your advantage. You go boo !!!!

If this helped you and you are interested in learning more about magic, or paganism or anything else let me know, I will try to provide the best content to you.

‘till the merry meet !

Manifesting money to Get out of Debt.
By: Shiloh Cyrus
Tags: Money, Manifestation, Spells, Magic, Finance

Getting What You Want should become a habit that you love as you use the art of manifesting. Money made Manifest

As I tell you about manifesting money, i ask that you please pardon my writing skills for the English, they are atrocious. but I try and here we go.

There is a degree of mindfulness accessible to you that you are likely new to. It broadens upwards and rises above the customary degree of cognizance that you’re generally acquainted with.

At this higher plane of presence, which you can access voluntarily, the satisfaction of wishes isn’t just plausible — it’s ensured.

At this level, your desires — every one of them — can for sure be satisfied. By utilizing your creative mind and rehearsing the craft of accepting the sensation of your desires being satisfied, and unflinchingly declining to permit any proof of the external world to occupy you from your expectations, you will find that you, by excellence of your otherworldly mindfulness, have the capacity to turn into the individual you were bound to be.

What follows is just a groundwork for going into that domain wherein you have considerably more state over what comes into your life than you may have imagined. We have mastered the art of manifestation.

This is certainly something you can learn to do on your own, but if you don't have the time to invest in the learning process — please allow us to help.

My Pen Is A Magic Wand

Photo by nine koepfer on Unsplash

I am a sorceress

With magical powers.

My pen is a magic wand,

And it can manifest anything.

With my words,

I cast spells,

Enchanting

The minds and hearts

Of readers near and far.

I can influence opinions.

Create new worlds.

Give birth to characters.

Make or break reputations.

Nurture relationships.

Educate.

Entertain.

Empower.

Heal.

All with some smudges

Of ink on paper.

I always try to use

My powers for good.

But if you ever hurt me

Or anyone I love,

My words will come for you.

I am a sorceress

With magical powers.

My pen is a magic wand,

And it can manifest anything.
I Believe

Tags: Poetry, Christmas, Poetry Sunday, Santa Claus, Magic

Of course I do,

I do believe in

this jolly fat guy

who repeats “ho ho ho”

all the time

and pushes his huge belly

through too narrow chimneys

just to track down

and gobble up

all the ginger cookies

and other goodies left

especially for him,

while elves are busy

doing all his work.

Of course I do believe

this white-bearded boss

rules a fairy-tale-like town

that can’t be found

on any maps,

where toys are made

for all children

in the whole wide world

to be delivered

in just one night

in a sleigh pulled by

goofy reindeer traversing

the dark blue starry skies.

Of course I do,

I do believe in

Santa Claus.

As a fan of my inner child,

as a mother, as a writer

I’m keen on: “who knows?”,

“you can never be sure!”,

or “why not?”

I’m in the know

as I know

denying Santa is about

denying magic in general.

And what life would be like

with no magic to dive into?

There’s definitely more to life

than dry facts.

Facts can feed your reason,

but never your soul or heart.

This is hard for me to say

I didn’t want anyone to know

That day in the forest

I felt magic in the trees

My apple fell once I took a bite

Wishing for someone to like me

I wished and wished

I hoped beyond hope

These memories mean everything

So don’t diminish my love

Or make me feel bad

I look at the sky and see

My past from years ago

I was a child then with dreams

Naïve and innocent I read

Books teaching how to bottle true love

But it can’t be bought or taught

It leaks out from our very pores

And we are covered in its scent.

Magic is real and magic is me

I will use it to spread light

In a world that seems to be getting darker

With each setting sun

The dawn seems far but it will come

With the magic that is in me, that is in you

Lets bring a brighter tomorrow for our kids to see

Or maybe just for us to see when we are done

Let us believe, believe in magic

It is in nature, no, not just that

It is in my thoughts and it is in yours too.

The Magic Of Christmas

Photo by Misty Ladd on Unsplash

There is energy in celebration. What you celebrate doesn’t matter, what the celebration is or does. We sometimes we celebrate different things at the same time. Easter, birth, death, beginning, love, hate, Christmas, lots of emotions.

Sometimes to remember.

Sometimes to forget.

This universe is made up of energy. Some use it and don’t know it. The energy doesn’t care how it is used. It just is.

We can use it for good.

We can use it for bad.

It can heal.

It can harm.

It is explained a little in this article

created by me on ingflip

https://medium.com/the-intoxicating-unhinged-mind/magic-is-a-state-of-mind-75f5de789efe

Those that know use it for their benefit. They use their intent to guide it. That is where the Magic happens. When we guide it towards giving with love in mind it creates happiness on many levels. It benefits the giver. It benefits the receiver. Good all around.

The celebration of Christmas is not all about getting. It also Is about giving.

Sharing the positive. No excuses or reason.

That is the magic of Christmas.

Celebrate the positive.

The universe is waiting.
Winter Solstice provide power to manifest wishes.
By: Shiloh Cyrus
Tags: Winter, Spirituality, Manifestation, Spells, Magic

The manifesting energies of a winter solstice are very powerful.

Inspiration can manifest anything you desire.

The solitary thing preventing you from turning your dreams, desires, wants, fantasies and or wishes into a reality is you.

You might have heard about manifestation or the laws of fascination & attraction. It’s something I have spoken about frequently, yet being able to do it yourself is all together something you miss out on everyday.

You control a great deal by your considerations, ponderings and fantasies. but you lack the focus needed to bring them into your life in the way you want. At the point when I began to sort that out for myself I began my life long journey to learn everything i could about the power to manifest things desired.

after about 40 years of pure dedication to the art of manifestation, most of my clients say that i have become a master of it. It helps that i do hold a degree in reiki, as energy channeling plays a he role in the Manifestation process

Manifesting someone's wish is an amazing thing to partake in. I have witnessed it again and again. in case you don't know what i talking about, i will be more than happy to try to explain it to you.

Basically, its about bringing something unmistakable into your life through clarity, conviction, focus and the transmutation of energy for example in the event that i think it, it will come. it will materialize.

if you have the will power and time to invest, you can also become a master at manifesting the thing you want in your life. But if your not sure that's a path you want to take, However you still have a wish you want to become a reality, the winter solstice is the perfect time to ask for my help

There’s a Great Conjunction coming, and it only happens every 200 years.

Jupiter and Saturn, the giants of our solar system, are aligning on December 21 in one of the rarest transits any of us will see in our lifetimes. However, it may not seem that way at first glance. The two planets are conjunct, aligned in the same sign at the same degree, every 20 years or so. In the grand scheme of astrology, a meeting every 20 years may seem like a mere blip. But this kind of meeting between Jupiter and Saturn only happens in signs of the same element for approximately 200 years. That means Jupiter and Saturn will only make this special link in signs of Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini for the next 139 years. They might move through other signs, but this starry arrangement is super unique. That fact alone is era-defining. So, this meeting on December 21, 2020, is the first time the two have been conjunct in Aquarius (or any air sign at all) in at least 600 years.

The two planets just spent the last year together in Capricorn, but they did not meet in this way. The last time they met like this was in Taurus in May of 2000. They only met up in earth signs over the last stretch of this conjunction cycle. Moving away from uniting in the earth signs means a shift in the planetary energy. We move from a collective focus on material security and gain, and into a period where we collectively dismantle and reconfigure our big-picture structures in society and our individual lives. In Aquarius, these two planets will transform how we communicate with one another. The last few decades of rapid technological expansion have only given us a taste of what this explosion of Aquarian energy will do to and for us. Our guess: science fiction is about to become a scientific reality.

Jupiter and Saturn meet on the December 21 solstice at 0º Aquarius, marking a new era that connects the wide-reaching dreams of Jupiter with the demands for structured reality by Saturn. This combination of contrasts is the perfect time for making your dreams a reality. (This is especially true for the dreams we share as a community.) Aquarius is the sign of societal progression. It’s the sign of the humanitarian; everyone, from every walk of life, is considered.

Entering into a 139-year era of air should inspire your imagination. How will our ways of communication change and evolve? How will our relationship to information and truth transform? Those are some big questions, but you might want to get used to those as we enter this new Aquarian moment.

Jupiter and Saturn come together to help us let go of who we’ve been, and allow us to start transforming ourselves into someone new. It’s magic, what these planets do together! They expand and contract, they dream and they build. There really is no way of telling what’s to come, but the only way to find out is to move forward.

Magic

The feeling when you wake up and are immediately blinded becasue the world is so bright is magic. The excitement that takes over brings out the child in everyone. It doesn’t matter if you have a test or a meeting or an outline due, because it’s time to play. The child that you had to bury to get through life can finally reemerge. Snow is some kind of fairy dust. Everyone is outside whether they are shoveling or sledding or building a snow man. It is like you’re in a movie. Seeing trees covered in the white powder makes you feel like your waling in a gingerbread house world.
The Story of Magic
By: Jordan Dozier
Tags: Conversations, Opinion, Energy, Ideology, Magic

Now, I’m not going to lie, the idea of magic is a controversial one but one that I firmly believe in. I have ever sense I was a child and I hope I can bring some insight to others although I understand if one were to think I’m crazy.

For me, magic is simply energy. The natural energy that flows throughout our earth and it’s natural systems. This energy can then be siphoned through different objects as everything holds it’s own energies. Those that have the ability to wield magic can use the siphoned energy to transform and change it to their will with enough training and focus. Such as into a shield for protection or what would seemingly be a gust of wind.

This idea falls in line with science and many founding principals such as “energy can not be created or destroyed” which is in regards to the first law of thermodynamics. Which may help to convince the more analytical minds. But for those still not convinced, let’s look at magic from another angle. Many argue that magic is simply undiscovered science but, the issue is are instances where one may say magic is used are discovered. We know of them because they’ve happened. So while it may not be understood by science, they are events that we can understand. Because of this, I’d argue that magic is what science cannot explain. That magic is maybe not all about the supernatural and superpowers but rather the controlling of the natural energies that flow throughout the natural world and its systems.

All this said, I know it’s a pretty crazy idea and not everyone has to believe. But toy with the idea because this idea of magic may just grow on you…
COVID Christmas: Squeeze from the Bottom to Get Just a Little More Magic Out of Mom

My darling children,

You are the wind beneath my wings, and by that I mean you keep farting while we’re sharing a blanket. My blanket. In my bed.

You are both the debris I am constantly sweeping AND the feet that run through my pile.

You are snack goblins.

Your voices ring in my head day and night because YOU ARE TALKING ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT.

You go from loving each other fiercely to fiercely pummeling each other, in the blink of a black eye.

You draw straws to decide whose turn it is to make that terrible anger/hurt “OWWWWWW” sound.

You time it just right, so that when one of you leaves me alone in peace in a room, another one enters immediately, as if choreographed in a sitcom. Your dad is in on this, too.

You drop things on the floor and then they’re just part of the tapestry of life and you don’t even see the when it’s time to clean. Like it’s an art installation of Jolly Rancher wrappers in the middle of the dining room floor.

You’re home ALL THE TIME, and almost never asleep, so guess what, Tiny Tims, mom’s not Christmas elfing this year! All of your presents are getting dumped into Happy First Birthday gift bags, and in my tornado of online purchasing, I may have mixed up, and you may be getting a man’s monogrammed terry cloth robe. CONSIDER YOURSELF MAGIC’D.

You have…curious bathroom timing. When we’re in a hurry to leave the house for a real estate showing, you ALWAYS have to make an epic poop (which you hysterically refer to as “taking a dunk,” so I’ll allow this one). Or, if we’re already out of the house, you definitely need to pee, which is really cool, since a) it’s frigid, b) it’s COVID, and c) we’re in a well-populated area, so your choices are hiding behind a leafless tree in a neighborhood park, risking arrest and scrotal hypothermia, or going into an establishment where we’re sure to get bitten by virus-infested zombies and all surely die. But it’s fine.

NBA Draft 2020 Review: Orlando Magic
By: Adrian Holman
Tags: Nba Draft Review, Orlando Magic, Nba Draft 2020, Cole Anthony, Magic

The Orlando Magic qualified for the NBA Playoffs for the second season in a row. However, the Magic need to make the next step from playoff qualifier to playoff contender. Finding another scorer would help this team remain in playoff contention in a much-improved Eastern Conference.

Image from Pixabay.

Round 1, Pick 15: Cole Anthony — PG — North Carolina. 6'3", 190 lbs (18.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4 apg). Anthony would have went higher in the NBA Draft if he was not injured for about half of the season. He has the potential to become a high-level scorer in the pros due to his all-around point guard skills. He only needs to improve his shot selection.

Grade: This pick works out great for the Magic organization since D.J. Augustin, last season’s back-up point guard, signed with the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency. His play off of the bench will allow for the Magic to remain an offensive threat at all times. Plus, Orlando will also be able to exploit mismatches with him and starting PG Markelle Fults in at the same time during games. I give the Magic a B+.
