Plan of the story

Was it William Boyd or some other sublime author who mentioned the need to have an ending for the story, work you are about to write?

The ending in this case should be somewhat or very vague, with the hero walking into the horizon, without the woman of his dreams – my wife does not read what I write or listen to what I say, but if there is an absurd exception here, this is all about artistic license and it is not about me…after all, everything that has to do with my ‘real ending ‘is absolutely clear, not at all obscure and I will be evicted, I hear, loser that I am there is not possibility to redeem or make the million dollars a month needed to satisfy her endless need for a myriad pets – she now has ocean fish, that digest banknotes it seems, she has made me keep five borzoi (giant breed dogs in case you are wondering) and a mutt, we have two vivacious macaws, three turtles, an aging cat that belongs here, plus maybe twenty or thirty that just pass through the garden, to eat from the bowl and shit in the lawn…I forgot the two doves that keep coming for the food that was given on the terrace table…

Perhaps this present might be more fun, assuming the incidents and crazy shit that is going on can be rendered with a tiny fraction of the humor of the hilarious Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel or the rather sarcastic and gloomy Bill Maher, which I try and see on a regular basis, given that it is a means to see what is going on and bypass somewhat the regular news – which psychology studies, on top of common sense, have proved that help people get depressed, concentrated as they are on what is negative, the explosions, shootings, earthquakes, wild fires, protesters killed on that day…

As it, just now, while writing this, Jimmy Kimmel is in the background with the splendid take on the recent impeachment hearings, in which they have added a comical, stupendous cowboy hat to one of the Trump surrogates, silly Nunez and then extracted the segment where the inadequate, outré, bizarre counsel for the minority – Castor was it? – asks the serious, valiant, noble ambassador Taylor about the backchannels used by the Mafiosi that are now ruling the world to promote their ‘drug deal’ – as their own man, Bolton, referred to it – and trying to ask and at the same time suggest that these alien channels are not ‘as outlandish as they could be’, to which the ambassador relied laughing that they are not ‘as outlandish as they could be’ and Kimmel goes on to say that the president could have send someone else…they do have so many deranged supporters out there…

Seth Meyers had another parody, just as amusing, when he used the segment from the Impeachment Hearings – perhaps they would materialize into convictions, Insha’Allah! – where the continuation of this absurd, surreal dialogue has the same extraordinarily decent, reserved, Ambassador Taylor - one who would make a president that would be one million times better than the catastrophe they have in office right now – manifest a very comical attitude when the same counselor for the republicans tries to make other ‘outlandish’ statements and Meyers compares this reaction to that of a passenger in the subway who is approached by a man with a lizard on the shoulder…

Would you touch my lizard?

On the bright side, we look at this and appreciate, are grateful for what we have and is so many times better that what the Americans have chosen to represent them, our own Klaus Johannis in a different league from the corrupt, man with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Dementia, scoundrel, gangster that tries to bribe and blackmail the president of the Ukraine – otherwise an individual who proves to be weak, shallow and lying in the promises he made, for, although it is next to impossible to stand up to the most powerful man on earth – at least in theory and considering the position of that office, for the man temporarily holding it is as feeble as one can be – Zelensky was too eager and ready to say that he has his own man in place and he would do what he asks and therefore we can see that corruption is still there and the new leader of our neighbor is just as willing to order investigations as the old guard.

On the John Oliver – not one of my favorites though – show they have presented one segment from the previous activity of Zelensky, where he plays the piano with another man, using his…penis; after all, this comedian seems to be controlled, if not completely, to a large extent, by one of the oligarchs, the billionaire who is the owner of the television channel on which the comedian used to portray…the president of the country, and the billionaire has had many disputes with the law, being accused of embezzlement – was it? – and some other crimes, resulting in his defection and flight to Israel.

The other absurd and jocular aspect -well, one of the many – has to do with the phone call made by the ambassador to the EU –by the way, they dealt with that other piece of stupid shit, sending the representative to one group of countries (28 of them) to another and take responsibilities which are not his, just because he is eager to engage in anything, corruption, bribery, extortion, you name, he has no qualms and regrets over that – to the American president, in a public restaurant(!), where other could and did hear it, prompting the same phenomenal Seth Meyers to state that this is such a stupid criminal that he does not follow the rule of the gild…a ‘good criminal ‘would ask on the call if ‘you are alone’, only Trump, with his disorders and low IQ, asks if you are alone and then asks you to bring others, if you are alone, to listen to what you plan to do…

Then there is the issue of the check and the explanation of Sondland – ‘Trump is a businessman and never signs a check before he gets what is owed to him’, only the joke on the late night shows –and the grim reality – was that this crook ‘never paid for anything in his life’, he was always a swindler and not the ‘celebrated businessman’ that his foolish mob see in the founder of the scam Trump University, the foundation for which he has had to pay recently $ 2,000,000 in fines, because he used money others donated to it (?!) to buy huge portraits of himself and other shameful schemes – the former president Obama, on whose birth place the then private citizen Trump kept mumbling, addressed this problem at one time…

This is such a comedy, but with such horrendous overtones alas…
