Room at the top?

In the Catalonian tradition of castelling, common sense is just as important as strength. Competitors use their bodies to carefully build human towers—lifting and holding each other in structures that can reach eight or nine people tall. The tradition is recorded as far back as 1712 in the city of Valls and over time, it’s become an important symbol of Catalonian pride. In the 1980s, when women were allowed to join the formerly all-male competitions, the towers became lighter and taller as a result, and castelling reached what many consider its golden age.

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
