Bell rings, time for class
Shots ring out - there's breaking glass
And the angels, cry

Cracked Macadamia
This is a Vocal + Assist challenge on Facebook. * The Macadamia nut, ain't got nothing on me, I've been a crazy ass nut, since 1973. My mama and my papa - could never ever agree, how to handle their wild, prepubescent, crazy pre-teen. * Rockin' - 10 years later, Def Lepard's -pyromania cracked to the core, like this flavorful nut I even thought to change my name to - Mighty Macadamia jamming to the juke box - at the old Pizza Hut. * Now that I am older, not as wild as before I still recall those days, in my head The only thing that's cracked these days - are the nuts that I'm preparing to bake my Macadamia bread

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
