TMNT : 2014 (From a frustrated UK TMNT Fan)

A new TMNT movie is coming out in August, right? Wrong. If you are one of the many UK TMNT fans ... you'll be waiting until late October to see the (probably spoiled to death)  movie.

..... and, while we wait, we can watch Americans have all the fun with new pizza's from Pizza Hut and generally all the merchandise you can shake a stick at.  Of course, you can order merchandise ... but expect to be paying through the nose for everything online.

I know it's always been a 'thing' for Europe to get big budget movies after everyone else has brought it on DVD. Or maybe a year after it comes out for America on Netflix.

It doesn't mean it's fair, though. Not fair at all.

Don't European fans mean as much as American ones? We'll be shelling out money to see this film and buying merchandise too.

By the time we see this movie for the first time it will be old news for anyone living in the USA.

In this current age, with all the special effects madness and amazing digital imagery, it seems we are behind the times in a huge way.

So, here's the thing. What do we do about it?

Be vocal in your displeasure. It seems the only way something might be achieved.

"Leo? Why are they showing our movie two months after the release date in Europe ..... ?"

"Because Europe isn't important to America, Raph. Everyone knows that."

Jasper 2009 – 2014 “When Gina Met Jasper”

It was a mixed day; rain one minute and sunshine the next. At Hoo Farm there was a general excitement in the air as Gina and Matt prepared for their Will’s Wild Animal Encounter – a whole snuggly hour with their hand-reared meerkat, Jasper. 

Jasper had been hand-reared because the mob (family of meerkats) had rejected him because his parents hadn’t got a great lineage. 

He was a funny little creature, chuntering to himself as he sniffed around the picnic table looking for grubs. 

To Jasper, the prospect of a grub was very exciting. 

Meerkats love grubs!

He allowed Gina to stroke his soft furry back as he wandered around the surface of the picnic table, making little noises of appreciation.  Meerkats aren’t generally tame creatures, but Jasper was a delight; and Gina revelled in being close to such an unusual animal.

After an hour of Jasper’s company, Gina said “Goodbye” to the little guy and wished him well for the future.

Jasper was a right character. 

I’m sure he’s sorely missed by everyone at Hoo Farm.

Task : Emotions

We shouldn’t work.

Everything tells us we should not be friends.

When I look at you, I know that we always will be.

I see kindness in your eyes. I see your gentle nature.

You are protective and you are tender.

I may not be able to express my emotions by words … but by the way I touch you … I convey my intent.

Friendship.

Adoration.

Together, we will survive the harsh world in which we live.

It may surprise some, our deep-rooted union.

But to us, it is natural.

We were made for each other.

Your eyes allow me to reach deeply into your soul and I see how deep your feelings for me lie.

My friend.

Our friendship will never fade.

Always and forever.
