On Saturday at about 11:15PM, an Oakley Police Officer contacted the occupants in a suspicious vehicle parked on 1100 block of O’Hara Avenue at O”Hara Park School. The vehicle was occupied by a 24-year-old man and a female juvenile.

Following an investigation by the officer, the man was arrested for communicating and meeting with a minor with intent to commit a lewd act (PC 288.3(a) and 288.4).

  Ciudad donde ella con su belleza angelical devora las ilusiones. 

Un cielo.

Lleno de brillantes estrellas, cuyo resplandor produce que las auroras coloridas de la noche, atraigan el romance de los enamorados, enamorados de ella, mujer hermosa, quien juega contigo y luego te abandona a tu suerte.

Moribundo entre callejones oscuros donde la única distracción es el silencio; donde deambulan seres desconocidos que ni siquiera de reojo perciben la presencia, presencia del hombre que en adoquines polvorientos por el deterioro del tiempo, ese que arrasa hasta con los sueños más profundos de tu ser, se desliza entre las hendiduras, lágrimas con un tono más rojo que el color de la sangre, lágrimas que brotan por el destino indeciso y la esperanza no alcanzada.

Simplemente el lamento y el llanto de aquellos hombres que apostaron todo por ella sin esperar el destino encontrado, vendrán más y en cantidades inimaginables crearan ríos de sangre los cuales nadie se atreverá a mirar.

How to Duplicate Burden (1991) Do-It-Yourself Manual

What you Need and What You Should Do:

1. Repressed memories from the past

2. Habitual self-pity / Self-Victimizing tendency

3. Object-A: Mass produced object can be used, however, handmade replica of mass produced objects are preferred for personalization / object should have significance to individual

4. Convince yourself that object of your choice has the power upon you when it comes to the actual event of trauma

5. Object-A becomes the sacrificial object as if the object itself caused psychological burden you have

6. When the object is ready to be fully blamed for, bind it with red strings to protect an object from being empty vessel for wondering souls

7. At the moment you finish projecting psychological burden to an object, internal struggle should end shortly after

8. You should be able to distinct yourself from object of fetishized self-pity and glorified tragedy - the doll. If you still suffer from psychological burden of such, make more blame-dolls
