In German class, Jr High

Describe something you learned in high school.

Junior High wasn’t a good time for me. The first year, I was bullied till I had several paranoid/mental breakdowns and my parents threatened to sue the school. Next year, I spent a lot of time avoiding school-my mind associated the place with trauma (wonder why…)

However, between being pelted with urine-soaked paper towels and playing hooky to avoid the previous sentence I took a beginner class in German. That class was probably the best time I ever had in Jr High…

I learned a few words and phrases that cling to my mind to this day. I learned to count to ten:

Einz

Zwei

Drei

Fehr

Fumf

Sechs

Seiben

Acht

Neun

Zehn! And I probably mangled the spelling of a lot of those (I remember the sound of the numbers more than the spelling…)

I learned that a beautiful woman (or a fly honey in 90’s speak) was a honig- also the word for what bees make!

But, most importantly…

I learned that apfelkuchen (apple cake) tastes awesome and kicks MAJOR ASS!! Story behind that lesson is my teacher brought over a custom baked apple cake for the class. I was so enamored by the taste-the caramel over the apples, the cinnamon crumbles-I not only had seconds, I said out loud “Man, apfelkuchen kicks ass!” Which garnered a laugh from my classmates.

Like I said, best time I had in Jr high.

Till next time!

I make memes now, too!

Been experimenting with making memes for a short time and I wanna share what I made! Here they are…

My most recent creation
Made this with help from my cat!

I know this has less than nothing to do with writing-sorry. But I like it cuz it’s a way to be creative in bite size bits. Some things take less than a sentence to say…

Till next time!

What makes us unique

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

What makes us unique

Is in the personality-how we act and react to people and other stimuli

It’s in our experiences-the events both personal and societal that shape us

It’s in our traumas-the bad times and how we deal with them

It’s in our triumphs-victories both big and small.

What makes us unique? One question with a million different answers.

But in the end,

What makes us all unique is… just us.

Oh, Rona

Oh, Rona

Why must you hurt me so?

I didn’t mean to cross you,

And now I wish you’d go

Hey Rona,

How did life make you so cruel?

Life is hard as it is

Without you breaking the rules

Please Rona

Why don’t you make up your mind

Will you leave my life quickly

Could you ever be so kind?

Rona, Rona, oh ohh Rona…

In honor of my coronavirus infection I got over the weekend. Till next time!

R I S E

We have been failed

We are not the failure

The rich and lazy

Are to blame

We are blameless

We have been failed

They take from us

Endlessly

Ceaselessly

Having no shame

No guilt or dissonance

And they call us undeserving?

Fuck them!!

We must not be dulled

We must put an end to the wealthy

And their corrupt ways

We must end the government with which they torment us

We

Must

R I S E

Worried

Oligarchs rake the profits

Off the backs of you and me

Relentless

Cold hearted secret police

Keep the twisted “order”

To Punish and Enslave

For the political class,

The old grifter’s club!

Selling our freedoms to the highest bidders

We have no leaders

All killed by the secret police

COINTELPRO never ended

It only evolved.

We can condemn socialism

But fascism? NEVER!!!

For where would our old grifters be

If they had to deal fairly with us?

Perish the thought!

America is evil

America is bad

As an American, I fear my country like I fear damnation.

For what is hell,

But the absence of a voice?

PIGS (followed by a few thoughts)

PIGS

Murderous

Monstrous

Sadistic

Bullying the weak

Killing

With impunity

Then urging calm to the victim

Calm?

They want calm?!

NEVER!!

The only way to deal with PIGS

Is to stick them

Bleed them!

DEATH TO THE PIGS!!!

…those are my thoughts regarding police in America. I also believe that if our government wants us to get rid of our guns, they should disarm and abolish the American Gestapo first. Otherwise, they just want more victims. And stop trucking them to Israel to train with the Zionist oppressors!! Cop culture is paranoid and dangerous enough without some foreign asshat showing them how best to curb stomp a nonwhite person…!

And frankly, until we achieve police disarmament and abolition? We must never give up our guns. We must not let them make guns illegal either. Sorry to sound so right wing—I didn’t think this way before. I’ve seen the truth with all the brutality happening in this country. Go farther left than the useless Dems, and you get your guns back!

Till next time, my dear revolutionaries!!

My Health-A Quick Update

As my last post (which I still can’t think to classify as other than a lyrical complaint) suggested, I am indeed under the weather. I’ve been that way since at least January 14th, and while it is getting better, I’m still not feeling 100% yet.

More than a week later, I am still feeling tired and sleepy in the daytime, while coughing and hacking too many times to count. I work tomorrow and I still worry that I will be dragging my feet the next two days. Hoping things don’t get too busy…

I felt REALLY bad Monday, so maybe it’s all downhill from here and my health will recover. Till next time!
