The squirrels have been very busy over the last two weeks up and down selected pine trees. This one pine amongst the white snow fascinated me and has such beauty in the snow surrounding it.
The sun has always been a great attraction for me in photos and playing with foreground gives an otherwise normal scene such beauty. The filter used in this photo intensifies the light and darkness at the same time. It’s actually taken in the middle of the day.
Another foreground to the sun for me is the fantastic sheets of ice that slowly slide off of roofs in winter here in Sweden.
This light in the middle of darkness is my take on the closest the moon has been to the earth in 18 years, as of 18th of March 2011. About 10pm at night. Although it doesn’t look it, but I can honestly say it was magnificently brighter and larger than usual.
The tracks of the animal that passed this way a few days earlier couldn’t have a better background than it has here.
I captured a beautiful spring afternoon at the rocks on the edge of a lake, where boats used to be tied up regularly, summertime. I pass this lake every day to and from work. The environment here is beautiful.
The beautiful contrasts in the textures and colours of this micro environment stops me in my tracks. Some will say it’s just a rock on the edge of a frozen lake that happens to have moss and lichen on it, but I know they are wrong.
So this is the first draft proposal to the Throat Clearer episode, that I sent to krumbine. So over the years I have been on this earth I have come across numerous throat clearer’s. I had a Grandfather, rest his soul, who used to clear his throat more than several times in a four-hour period. I’m guessing how often, but it was quite disgusting being in the same house when he cleared his throat. I have worked with a person who cleared his throat every time he would enter a room. I amuse myself with the theory that he is trying to assert his dominance with his throat clearing ability. Sort of like an inferior complex, it’s a game in his own mind. And of course there are others who do have a legitimate medical reason, like an excessive build up of phlegm. I myself have had this problem from time to time.
Now the twist to this sometimes socially awkward problem is inspired by Seinfeld. Elaine, Jerry, Kramer and George would all have ridiculous reasons for breaking up with their partner and this one fits in that category, perfectly.

A
That’s right. Totally weirds me out!
C
Kinda harsh don’t you think?
A
(Resolute)
You wanna talk harsh baby. Like, try standing in the same room when he clears his throat?
B
So have you told him why?
A
Oh, …I haven’t quite told him yet.
C
So we’re witnessing a break up before the break up?
B
Really? Like, like you’re ok with telling us before him?
A
Oh totally cool as a cucumber!
C
So this is some weird shit right here. Give us an example of how he might clear his throat.
B
Yeah and we can tell you if its, like a dumpable offense.
A
Ok then.
(clears throat as if shifting a truck load of phlegm)
C
(blown away)
Oh wow!
A
I know, see?!
B
(convinced)
Oh now that sounds like a cry for help.
C
Cry for help?!
A
No, its shocking! You never know what I might, like, like catch!
C
Have you asked him if he has a problem at all?
A
Like derr! Its clear he has a problem, don’t need to ask.
B
He’s overdoing it, he has issues!
A
Issues?!
C
He might have a dairy intolerance.
A
But he doesn’t work at a dairy.
C
No I mean a build up of phlegm as a reaction to dairy products he eats.
A
Huh?
B
An inferiority complex.
A
Infer-whaty plex?
B
Like, he’s asserting his dominance by clearing his throat, extremely hard and loud, for everyone to hear.
A
(confused look)
C
I’m putting my money on lactose intolerant.
B
Like, inferiority complex, all my money!
C
Is it really worth it?
D
(clears throat)
Is what worth what?
B
If Brittany should drop Drake because, like, he clears his throat like T-Rex would.
(puts hand over mouth, realising the cats out of the bag)
A
Oh they don’t know what they are talking about Drake. Don’t listen to them. How did it, like go at the doctors?
D
(clears throat)
Doc says I should cut back on dairy intake.
C
Boo yeah! Can you feel it?! Feel the righteousness!
B
(defeated)
Oh my god!
D
(clears throat)
So when were you going to tell me? After telling the local newspaper?
A
Like, like I was just kidding Drake.
B
Sounds like Brittany needs to apologise to Drake.
A
Ah yes, like, I need to apologise to you Drake.
D
(waiting for the apology)
OK?
C
Oh this is awkward. Exit stage left.
(turns off cam)
B
(grimaced look of embarrassment as turns off cam)
D
Well …?
A
Wanna get pizza?

So now it’s official as of Monday this week. Exactly a week ago I decided to try one more AdSense application and link it to my Blogger account. I figured the only way to unlock this pause in proceedings is to do what I shouldn’t do. And it worked, well sort of. Sort of in the sense that I got an answer email saying we have denied your application, then a few hours later I received a congratulations email, saying you are accepted into AdSense world.
Now the sooner I get over myself and stop this “I’m tired” inner dialogue, inside the kasim that is my head, the sooner I can get to know the partner features and comforts that lie within. This information isn’t of any real importance to anyone else. It’s just one of those first world problems solved, so that I can promote my ego and image of the ideal man with a little more fervor, now with advertisements on the web.
That’s all from me, keep smiling and bye for now, Ben
Recently I had been approved for partnership on YouTube and since then I have been stuck in the middle without an AdSense account. Without this AdSense account I am like a dog without a bone, not complete. Its like I have the right to be a dog, but I have to tone it down, because without the bone I may as well be a cat. So who out there hears a small cat meowing, hissing and raising his back hairs with complaints? Well these three people whom I call colleagues made a video in support for me to raise that all elusive AdSense account high in the air and chant “We are the champions, my friend. And we’ll keep on fighting till the end”. So while I have the full confidence this will happen, it hasn’t happened yet, but my friends are in my corner raising awareness and fighting the fight. Thank you so much guys, I am officially pouring the sugar on the love. You guys rock!!!
MattyHo07 and Chris LeBrane acting naturally!
Great episode of the “Beanie Boy Show” from krumbine.
I just had to make a vlog on this subject as a last-ditch effort for information that might help my application for an Adsense account go forward instead of standing still.
So I have been accepted as a partner for YouTube, but Adsense has denied my application for an account on the grounds of domain ownership. It clearly says please make a separate page on your website stating you own the website, then re apply, but if you are applying through the YT partnership please apply through the emails you receive from YT. So they seem to have gotten it wrong, going by the rules they laid out. So now they denied my second application on the same grounds and consequent other applications.
Being on the forum in the hope to find out more info hasn’t helped either, but I did learn that the only way an Adsense Pro will look at your account is if a partner talks to the Adsense Pro about your dilemma , then they fix it so you can go forward with your application.
I am sorry Victor (gimmeabreakman) if I seemed too intense when I asked you for some advice, it has dominated my time and the only way it will free me up is if it is solved or I just give up. At this stage I will not give up, but the frustrating thing is I haven’t had any tangible answers as to why and what to do next.
Some people on the forum in the exact same situation as me have had their account move forward after an Adsense Pro looked at their account application. Seems as though they cancelled their first application that was denied so that the next application can be considered. Apparently you are not considered for an account with one already denied and you aren’t allowed two accounts. It would be so much easier and make sense if you could talk to someone directly from Adsense about the next steps to be taken, but sadly that does not seem to be the case.
I really would appreciate any help that is thrown my way. If you know what I should do or can try to get this Adsense account accepted, please don’t hesitate in suggesting what can be done,
Kind regards Ben.
