Marina Abramović - How we in the Balkans kill rats
From "The Star" movie (1999). This video was a piece of "Balkan Baroque" installation in the Venice Biennale 1997, that was Marina Abramović awared the Gold Lion Award.
"I´ d like to tell you a story of how we in the Balkans kill rats.
We have a method of transforming the rat into a wolf; we make a wolf rat.
But before I explain this method I´ d like to tell you something about rats themselves.
First of all, rats consume large quantities of food, sometimes double the weight of their own bodies.
Their front teeth never stop growing and they have to be ground constantly otherwise they risk suffocation.
Rats take good care of their families.
They will never kill or eat the members of their own family.
They are extremely intelligent.
Einstein once said: "If the rat were 20 kilos heavier it would definitely be the ruler of the world".
If you put a plate of food and poison in front of a hole the rat will sense it and not eat.
To catch the rats you have to fill all their holes with water, leaving only one open. In this way you can catch 35 to 45 rats.
You have to make sure that you choose only the males.
You put them in a cage and give them only water to drink.
After a while they start to get hungry, their front teeth start growing and even though, normally, they would not kill members of their own tribe, since they risk suffocation they are forced to kill the weak one in the cage.
And then another weak one, another weak one, and another weak one.
They go on until only the strongest and most superior rat of them all is left in the cage.
Now the rat catcher continues to give the rat water.
At this point timing is extremely important.
The rat´ s teeth are growing. When the rat catcher sees that there is only half an hour left before the rat will suffocate he opens the cage, takes a knife, removes the rat´ s eyes and lets it go.
Now the rat is nervous, outraged and in a panic. He faces his own death and runs into the rat hole and kills every rat that comes his way. Until he comes across the rat who is stronger and superior to him.
This rat kills him.
This is how we make the wolf rat in the Balkans."

I took Doxylamine to help me sleep. I have had trouble sleeping for the longest time due to ADHD, rapid thoughts/anxiety, lying in bed singing nonstop etc. In 20 minutes to a half an hour, I would start feeling sedated and was able to fall asleep. My biggest problem is lying in bed singing nonstop and once the medicine kicked in, I'd stop singing all at once and was able to fall asleep in 5-15 minutes or shorter. The only negative thing I can say about Doxylamine, the sleep aid, is that you wake up feeling groggy and hung over for a good couple of hours...at least with me anyway. Overall, GREAT & EFFECTIVE drug. I noticed some weight gain when I stopped it but my situation is different. I took it for a year and a half (not being aware of how long I was taking it) so my situation is not normal. I DON'T RECOMMEND taking this drug for over a year like I did. Consult with your doctor if you'll be using it long term. I didn't. I know shame shame. I have other factors in my weight, but I definitely gained weight from coming off it. Not sure how much though because like I said, I have other things going on.

EYE CANDY
Model Zdenek Zaboj. Am I wrong or does he totally look like Chris Taylor (of Grizzly Bear's) younger brother. Ugh.
