Once again, I didn't listen to the "little voice in my head", which told me to prepare individual presents for my workmates. I didn't do this, as I think making it individual is too personal, and I do this only for friends and family.

My last night at work before Christmas, was the 17 December. I like the team I'm working with, so same as the year before, I prepared a "thank you present" this time a crate of 5 kg clementine and about 1.5 kg small chocolates for the whole team. I bought all this with my own money.

The muslim guy working the evening shift said he doesn't eat sweets, but took a few clementine before leaving, that was ok. I told him that the present was for everyone. On the morning of 18/12, before going home, I presented the present to the morning staff... people who I've been working with for almost 2 years. They were happy and thanked me.

I returned to work on the 26, and everything was gone, even the presents we got from the families of the people we take care of. Last year, there was still some available, even until the new year.

On Monday night, first night in the new year, one of my workmates for almost 2 years, who is also one of the women who received the Xmas gift, told me that on the morning of the 19/12, there was nothing left of my present to them, but 2 others had had their boxes filled with clementines.

Tuesday morning, before leaving work, I asked another long time workmate, if she had gotten anything from the present, she replied "no", but 2 others were eating lots of clementines on the days after I had left the present.

This pi$$ed me off, made me upset and very, very angry, to the point that, not even listening to a book on the way home (I usually do this to and from work) calmed me down. I had breakfast, showered, went to bed, but couldn't sleep, I was crying, I kept thinking of what those 2 young muslim men had done. As they were working yesterday afternoon, I felt like instead of sleeping, I'd go back to work and confront about their behaviour.

Not wanting to cause problems, as I know I would have done, being as angry as I was (If i cry when I'm angry, it means I've reached, or am almost to "the point of no return"). I called and talked to one of my bosses, who calmed me down and I was able to sleep, but she said when I talk to the 2 men, to do it in a calm way, and say it wasn't nice of them, to do what they had done.

Some days before Xmas, I was talking to those 2 men and they said they don't celebrate Xmas, as it isn't part of their religion or culture.

My point with this blog is, why the hell did they eat and or even take home all of what I had left as a Xmas present for everyone...9 including then both. I've been working with the team for almost 2 years, 1 of those men started working with us 4, the other 2 months ago, which is also the same amount if time they've been working in the nursing home.... You don't celebrate Xmas, but your should still have something called a conscience, and respect for others and their cultures.

I'm not sure if I'll see them the 2 nights I'm working next week, but 1 thing is for sure, even if I'm off duty when they're working, I'm going to go to work and have a serious conversation with them about this. Not only that, I'l tell then that before their ramadan begins, they have to buy a big cake for the team. I'm not going to threaten them, just say it in a nice friendly way, whilst hiding the "poison" behind my smiles.

Seems we have lost the art of conversation.... Have you sat down recently, coffee in hand at a little coffee house? What do you see? People bent on their phones, tapping away instead of enjoying the smell of freshly baked bread, or the smell of freshly brewed coffee? People do not even have a conversation with the person they are sharing the table with!

Gone are the days....

Can't two people from the same gender fall in love?

Sure they can.

Then, why does it become about their sexuality more than love ?

People believe what they want to believe, no matter how much contrary evidence you show them.
Last week, someone commented on an old blog that Obama wasn't born in America. Yeah, the birther movement, it's still alive... started by (name omitted) and years later, after America became divided and wasted millions of hours in dispute, were unable to prove that statement. (name omitted) admitted it was fabricated. Everyone heard he came from Africa. Apparently only a few heard it wasn't true, or at least don't want to change their belief.

Some people believe the insurrection on January 6th was a peaceful protest.
Believe what you want to believe...

You may not have heard of him. Much of mainstream news has chosen not to report on him. He was 5 years old. Outside playing when a 25 year old man came up and shot him point blank in the head. The shooting happened 4 days ago.

Why has much of news turned a blind eye to this horrific murder? For me the answer is simple: because the little boy was white and the alleged murderer (in police custody) is black. Now i don't think it should matter a damn in a situation like this - this story should be front page news everywhere. It is a horrific murder of a very young child. But i think we also know that if the skin colors were reversed there would be a whole different kind of coverage. Now i don't pretend to know if the motive of this murder was a racist one. It certainly could be. The murderer could have been clinically psychotic or off his head on drugs. I try not to assume. Just as i didn't assume motive with George Floyd, i'm not going to assume it here. Let there be a thorough investigation and the facts come out. But really it is very very VERY sad that this story is not getting more coverage. What kind of world are we living in where a 5 year old boy out playing can be shot in the head and many news outlets choose not to report it?

If there's anything more attractive than intelligent women, it's funny women.

The cases against the orange rat are about to swallow him up one way or another.

In chess a gambit is offering up of relative value to be in a much better position.

What is about to be offered is Ivanka.

In a CRIMINAL case against the orange rat, Ivanka has been invited to testify
about what she witnessed, when she asked her father to please make the insurrection end. To tell the insurrectionists to go home.
Now, this is her real opportunity to be a real patriot. She can tell the truth and save her butt as a bonus. Sure, it would help convict her father, but that's just a matter of time anyway.
It would spare jail time for her, and that's a bonus.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect that is what will happen. Indeed, most people don't.
More likely, like Eric Trump, she will attempt to cover up for her father with evocation of 5th amendment cries. So far, they have been effective in delaying justice in the Congressional and the Civil cases against the orange rat.

But, this is much different, It is a CRIMINAL case. They do not play that game,
If someone refuses to testify, they are held in contempt, arrested, held in custody and then, when the prosecution is ready, forced to answer questions under oath.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe Ivanka has the integrity to testify against her father. She will likely ATTEMPT to evade answering. It's just not going to work and it will likely force the DOJ to make it's first public move in siding with the prosecution.
That initial public involvement will hasten their own case against the orange rat.
So far, they have just quietly laid back, collecting evidence without publicly appearing to be involved.
So, Ivanka has a choice, But, the case against the orange rat will likely be strengthened either way. Do you feel lucky Ivanka ? Do ya ?

People these days , often complaint , that there's not much room left for honesty..

But folks .. I think that's really not the case at all ...

I mean , I agree that , there are too many dishonesty everywhere , but , if you look wisely and carefully with positivity , you will surely find Honesty Within Dishonesty everywhere as well !!!

For example ...

There is a contract killer who commit murder in exchange of money ...
Yes... I know , He is a murderer ..
But...
When he received the money and agreed to the agreement to kill someone , have FAITH , he will Definitely fulfill the agreement !!!

Isn't that HONESTY !!!

There are some kidnappers who have kidnapped your kid ...
And they threatened you that , if you inform the police , they will cut the fingers of your kid..
So next day when they get to know that you have contacted the police , they immediately sent you the amputated fingers of your kid !!! They kept their PROMISE !!!

Isn't that HONESTY !!!!!!

A corrupted officer , asked a huge off the record donation in order to complete a task..
Well.. You have to pay of course ..
But..
He will complete the task at least !!!
You can mark his words that , he is the MAN OF HIS WORDS !!!!

Isn't that HONESTY !!!!!!!

So what's there to be so sad about after all guys !?!?!
CHEERS !!!! Let's just celebrate soooooooo much of HONESTY !!!

Important Note :

I was very confused about where to put this blog .. In Society or in Comedy section..

But then I thought , What's the difference at all !?
Our SOCIETY is NOTHING BUT A JOKE after all !!!



Enjoy your weekend fellas ...

I'm getting a history lesson today about Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England. Sadly in 1536 at the age of 35 she was beheaded.
There are a few paintings of her, none were impressive... but I found a video that did her story and at the end they did some computer animations of what she would have looked like in modern times. The suggested creation (at 20 minutes into the video) is stunning.







If you don't have time for the video, the comparison is here:
