Pigs to pearls and the 9th Gate dinner

 Hello folks!

Are you all in the confines of your dungeons crying your hearts out or laughing like maniacs?

It is a mad world out there, I mean, it was never sane. We just like to think we have it worse than our forefathers..

Anyway, last weekend was our wedding anniversary and we had this nice holiday planned in a nice hotel in the mountains but, of course, something needed to happen.

First, the plandemic prevented me from visiting my family, making me reschedule the voyage ten thousand times and, now, big forest fires cancelled out our little holiday plans.

The mountain town where we were going was evacuated and they were not letting anyone in, so we just gave up and cancelled.

It did snow but not enough and not in time for the celebration.

Therefore, we decided to just go out to this nice and fancy restaurant, where my mother-in-law took us when we got married.

The food is great and it is a nice and cozy spot as well.

So, here we are, eating and chatting and my husband is making this face and I asked him what is the problem and he says with a snark 

"there is this young lady behind us dressed like a little harlot".

She sure was more prepped for a cabaret than a restaurant frequented by seniors but hey, it is none of my business, even though, some folks were clearly staring.

 I was more interested on the mask protocol. 

So, if you are sitting, you do not need to put it on, you are protected from the evil CCPRONA but, if you stand up, mask needs to be on, or you are doomed!

Worse only the parents with their muzzles on but their kids are running amok with no need for anti virus shields...

Don't you all live in the same fucking house?

They can kill grandma too!

If that does not slap the truth right on your face and tells you, we are all fucking slaves and idiots like a little boat at the mercy of the evil sea, I do not know what will.

Ok, there I went, complaining...

Anyway, the folks at the restaurant were quite nice, the manager even let out her worried thoughts on how the restaurant has been so dead during the week, cannot  imagine how they can pay the rent....  

We are almost done with the meal and they bring us some lovely dessert, our waiter takes a picture of us and then brings us the photo printed in a card with all their signatures, how cool is that?

Better, only telling you that the waiter is taking forever to pick up the debit card to charge the dinner and when he shows up, he whispers to us:

 "The lovely couple in the corner paid all of your expenses tonight..."

Suffice to say, me and my husband are looking at each other with a "what the fuck" look ..

Husband asks them why and she says

 "We just saw you were so happy and we just wanted you to keep that smile and enjoy yourselves".

I suffer from proudness, so I try to convince the waiter to please take my card but it does not really work, the tab is paid already and closed and he leaves.

So I ask for their names, thank them, dumbfounded, and we kind of hush out of there and I kind of hear her say something like we or them might die tonight or something of the sort....

Funny thing is that we had re-watched the 9th Gate with Mr. Depp the day before and my husband says it kind of felt this peculiar vibe about them...anyway, it is cold outside and I am putting my coat on and there they are... leaving right behind us.

So, we kind of rush to the car and drive off.

Yes, a couple that we had never seen before in our lives paid off our VERY expensive night...

Let us just say, me and husband love food, we ADORE food to the core, to the point of taking trips based on the gastronomy of the place and we do not spare on these things, and we had wine, yes French white, as they had no Portuguese green one...

So yeah.

Weird thing. 

Next event was today at work, not nearly as amusing though... my dear doctor boss brought us all pearls to wear at work and I was like you want what?

Sure she mentions no one has to put them on if they do not want to, of course, democracy and we are all so friendly but we all know how the ballerina dances to the tune or...

Here you are at your workplace, in a world where every single media vehicle hates a certain person and makes the populace hate him without really knowing why or without using their brain to fact check....but you cannot just leave people work in peace, right?

Kind of like gender and sex shit, fuck, I do not fucking care keep it to yourself.

Why does everyone like to parade everything these days?

I knew what the pearls meant and I played dumb and asked her and she kind of mentioned as women we should pass a message and yada yada and out she went passing them on... I think she thinks she needs to do it because he is bad and we are good... god knows...

I just laid the pearls on my desk and did not wear them, of course not.

All day, all my colleagues had them on, necklaces, earrings, brooches, earrings, barrettes...did they even think?

Do they even think?

Folks just assume shit, don't they?

We all need to think the same, because we are women and we need to stand against the pussy grabber, even though he grabs them BECAUSE THEY EVEN LET YOU, yeah you know, like I said before, the old story, a rich man is never a bachelor. There is always a nice woman to have that fat alimony but he is always the pig and women are always victims.

Yes, that evil patriarchy, keeping us chained to the stove!

Yes, ME the embarrassment of all females, the true misogynist!

 I know, nail me to the cross.

Anyway, I kind of fell dirty just by not having the balls to tell her:

"Hey I am not this or that but I hope our dear citrus takes it home because he does not suck China and WHO's penises, gave us jobs, straightened up the illegal immigration, he is no career politician and he does not fucking snort coke and fondles kids..."

But how would I keep on working there after that?

So, I just made my rage into politeness and assertiveness and kept on working without partaking into the ball.

Us poor and tired peasants have come to the conclusion that we are quite tired of working ourselves up regarding this shit, we do not care, we do not want to talk about it or compete for the hate.

Take it all home.

There is just so much more to the whole thing, so much more and people do not see it, there is just no point in even trying to explain, just like 9/11.... my mother- in-law and sister-in-law would have renounced all blood bonds with my husband if they could, back in 2001... only my father-in-law had his eyes open, army man, god rest his soul.

I was not living here yet or married, but I can imagine the situation, now he knows better, we do not talk about it, we are just bizarre and that is fine.

They are kept in blissful ignorance and just think of us as tinfoil hat wearers and that keeps their mind at peace.

 They probably still believe that Mr. Bin Laden was really the perpetrator and worse, that he got killed by the soldiers and tossed into the sea and that Mr. Hussein Obomba was the saviour....

God.

Look at my Europe having teachers decapitated and people killed by these rats, this fucking scum, this religion of peace that comes to my continent to kills us while these fucking leaders ask us to respect them and open our doors for them.

Fuck them, pawns, rise up Europe, kick them out like our mighty Kings did, do not let them kill you because you drew a cartoon of their pedophile prophet for what he is.

We are condemned to repeat the errors of the past because we live in a prison planet and we are busy with our screens.

So sad.
