Bieber was born on March 1, 1994 in Stratford, Ontario. Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, was 18 years old when she became pregnant with her son. Bieber was raised as an only child by Mallette, who worked low-paying office jobs, though Bieber maintains contact with his father.^[9] As he grew, Bieber taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet.^[10] In late 2007, when he was twelve, Bieber sang Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” for a local singing competition in Stratford and placed second.^[3] Mallette posted a video of the performance on YouTube for their family and friends to see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of various R&B songs, and Bieber’s popularity on the site grew.^[7]

While searching for videos of a different singer, Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive of So So Def, clicked on one of Bieber’s videos by accident.^[9] Impressed, Braun tracked down the theater Bieber was performing in, located Bieber’s school, and finally contacted Mallette. Mallette was reluctant; she remembered praying, “God, I gave him to you. You could send me a Christian man, a Christian label!”^[9] However, after praying with her church elders and receiving their encouragement, she permitted Braun to fly Bieber, then 13,^[7] to Atlanta, Georgia to record demo tapes.^[9] A week after arriving, Bieber sang for R&B singer/songwriter Usher,^[11] who arranged an audition with Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Def Jam Music Group, who in turn signed him to Island Records in October 2008.^[7]Justin Timberlake was reportedly in the running to sign Bieber, but he eventually signed with Usher.^[12] Bieber and his mother then moved to Atlanta, also the home of Usher and Braun, to base his career

Tanya Davis – How To Be Alone

I have issues about being polyamorous and alone.

Loving more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of my other lovers doesn’t guarantee that I’ll always have someone with me.  I’ve loved people who have lived hundreds of miles away.  My heart doesn’t comprehend the curvature of the Earth; how distance (and not owning a private jet) meant that in one of my relationships I only saw my lover in person twice in the nine months we were together.  But those two weekends we enjoyed were amazing, and all the letters, phonecalls, postcards and emails that travelled between us meant that I rarely missed him.  The relationship only ended when one of us stopped communicating.  Poly and alone is one thing.  Poly and silent is a whole other bag.

Poly to me, means that even when I’m 200 miles from my girlfriend, or when my boyfriend is asleep next door, I’ll sit on the sofa on my own and feel close to them. The times we are able to share together in the flesh means that when I’m alone I rarely feel lonely.

I feel lonely when I’m around bigoted people, especially when I have something in common with them.  Being ignored, dismissed, or treated badly and no one backing me up is something I’ve experienced an awful lot, and it only adds to sense of isolation I feel.  When I am told that I’m not a proper black by a black person, that I’m not a real woman by a feminist, that I’m sitting on some fence by a queer, I feel totally and utterly alone.  I feel lonely because I feel that I’ll never belong.  I’ll just be a little dot on a big spinning globe.  

Christmas used to make me feel lonely too.  Everyone I knew would trek off to their biological families, and I’d end up on my own.  But something I realised is that I not only share my lovers with their lovers, but when it comes to time and energy, I share them with their relatives too.

Poly doesn’t mean living in a big house with twenty people.  At least it doesn’t mean that to me anymore.  Having a better relationship with myself first, and then with others is what’s important.  So let me be poly and alone sometimes.  It’s not the end of the world.

I didn’t; he is simply outrageously incompetent.
