As usual, my writings carry a message of "read at your own risk!".
In this DC sweatbath, (well okay it has been cooler) it has been observed that "cursing" evolves into an involuntary mechanism while "appologies" take a backseat. Now, that Summer is finally here, according to the summer solstice, whew! (and I thought we've had summer since May!) and I have finished boxing up my classroom for the summer, I can sit back and plan on what to do during my n number of hrs of traveling and transit time! Well, the "pleasure-reading" books I had ordered from Amazon.com have yet to arrive.....blame it on the snail.
Last day of school without children:
"And, I had some of the sperm in my hand... it had spilled!" said Leena, my heavily pregnant colleague. Julia and I had just walked into a graphic conversation taking place in the staff room. "What????!!!! " exclaimed those sitting around my pregnant colleague while Julia and I stopped dead in our tracks. "yeah, and you know those things come in a small vial and I had to be extrememely careful about saving every drop!" Julia, my African friend's jaws dropped in sheer shock, embarrassment did not even factor into it! I took one look at her and started laughing. Julia, apparently did not know that Leena is a lesbian and for the life of her could not figure out what she was doing with a vial of sperm in her hand. "Aand whaad about your husbund?" asked an astonished Julia in a heavy African accent. "oh, I'm divorced! He doesn't care! My, wife and I decided to have this baby!" informed a zealous Leena. Leena was loving all this attention and was capitalizing on her gay-hood and pregnant state to scrounge every ounce of attention from her unsuspecting colleague. "Your wife!!!!!!!!!" asked an even more bewildered Julia. "Ya, my wife... Ms. Julia, you didn't know, I'm a lesbian!". I was surprised that Julia didn't know as Leena had made it her business to educate everyone of her sexuality. Not that, there was anything wrong about it...but, attention-mongering through graphic sexual descriptions was not palatable to every one. Anyhow, since Leena was leaving for good, people let any aggravation slide. "My whut is dis wald comeing to...!!!!" said a thoroughly shaken Julia as we walked away.
Speaking of gay rights always leads me to Bushdom. I can't blame Julia her culture shock... who can I blame Bush for his? "The enemy can't stand the thought of free societies. That's why they attacked us, see." said Bush of Afganisthan, wonder where in the "free society" does gay rights fall. "marriage is to be defined by the people, not by the courts" says the contradictory president implying "he" da people of da US of A. However, we must credit him with acknowledging that "We are all sinners!" and therefore gays are greater sinners????! I sometimes, wonder at the terms "sinners", "evil", "justice"; trite words that pushed Bush into Gabriel-hood of the order of the avenging angels. Give him credit for raising the death rate to double to avenge those of 9/11; Ah no! he was not seeking revenge but justice. How easy it seems to seek justice while deploying sons and daughters of the brave American people. The very same brave American soldiers who personify bravery, patriotism American-ism but for some odd reason do not do not depict the "evils" and "attrocities" of prison torture! Selective modeling... I believe it is called or is it selective memory.
Last days of Clinton's attempt at scraping for attention!!!!!!!! Man, what timing, for Bill to have his conscience attack! ! Kerry doesn't seem too pleased at all the negative attention the Lewinsky case is getting; it seems to show off Bush in his virginal, untainted, un-edited best!! While Bush smirks at the halo around his oval office...ofcourse the moral values have been restored in the White House; stains scraped off, blue dressed auctioned off and.... blueprints of the sale of weapons (of mass destruction) to Iraq, erased. Alas! Alzheimers has struck Reagon, CIA, Condolisa Rice, Bush Sr/Jr, Cheney, Rumsfield, Powell!!! Guess where this deadly strain of rare contagious Alzheimers mutated from?!
"Crash!!! Bang!!!!! S.O.S signals, BEEEP!!!!.......... BEEEP!!!!!!!!!!.... ----------------------flat liner!!!!!!!! DEAD!!!!" Unfortunately, my computer's death was not as dramatic as the ICU of DC General Hospital ( they are still destroying it...for lack of funds!). One fine day...yesterday, my screen went red, then white and then blue then blank!!! Yes, I even saw stars ...!!! After a few strings of unutterable "unmentionables" I prayed and the computer turned back on! Yes, prayers do work miracles but ominous as it sounds, I believe this will be my last post before I can give it a decent funeral.
Have a wonderful and safe summer, everybody! For those in KTM, we'll see you in matribhumi, hopefully!!!!!!!!
