A Short Conversation

 


     I saw this post on Facebook just a few days ago: a screenshot of a short conversation between a single mom and a potential partner, and gossipy that I am, I wanted to react. Lol. The mom was thanking him for a wonderful dinner date, but the guy brutally responded by telling her that he didn’t want to pursue a relationship with her because of her child, saying that she should’ve just aborted the baby—which utterly offended the lady. I’m guessing that the child was a product of a flawed relationship, or specifically, a flawed former partner.

     I don’t know if it’s real or just a made-up screenshot to garner reactions. It’s been hard to differentiate real from fake since the advent of AI, but most of the comments were bashing the guy.

     I don’t want to judge this guy, maybe, he was traumatized by some children of a single mom before. And I am not against legalizing abortion. Women are the ruler of their own body, and they should be allowed to decide freely regarding their body, life and their future, as long as it wouldn’t endanger their safety. If giving birth to that baby would imperil their health or if having that baby would punish them and torture them mentally all their life, why should society force them to have it?

     But it would be wrong, almost criminal, to chastise a woman for choosing to have her child. So, yeah, if you’re a single mom who wants a complete family for your next child with a loving partner, it would be so right not to chase this man.

     Find a partner who wouldn’t be picky and judgmental over your past mistakes.

    The fact that one calls it a mistake means that they regret it.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...

Roger Waters, Thom Yorke, Taylor Swift, and an Audacious Instagram User

       Roger Waters (former Pink Floyd frontman) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), two of my favorite songwriters of all time, continue to feud with each other. The quarrel started a few years ago, I think, when Roger wrote and asked Thom not to perform in Israel, which Thom ignored. Roger has been protesting Israel for a long time and asking his fellow artists no to go and perform there. He called Thom “damaged and not very bright.” Lol.      I learned that a friend had recently undergone surgery for myoma, which was a common benign tumor in uterus, and wished her well. I really don’t know what causes it, but no, long-term celibacy doesn’t cause it. Lol.      I have an Instagram account which is empty and pointless and thoroughly inactive, but despite that, one account had the temerity to follow me. Lol. But a few days ago, my one and only follower deactivated their account. I don’t know if it’s a fake account, but if not, I hope...
