I wish I had a Mall!!!

I was tired, have been walking for some hours. My feet begun to feel like prunes soaked in cold milk. Very cold milk. My legs, my thighs were stones that were about to crush every step and I haven’t managed to meet up with Santa either. My spirit was crushed and Tobi had to be carried, crying in the darkness surrounded only by snowflakes falling and people shopping for the Big XM or just for the habit… I sat down on Rotuari on the steps of the fountain that is only a fountain for 5 months of the year.

Apparently it is immoral, abnormal and antisocial. A police car, a van stopped, engines running. Inside two guys wearing immaculate uniforms fitting wonderfully their pail skin, blue eyes and short, blond hair. They had a video camera and somehow I managed to be recorded by it. I must have aroused suspicion, the way I was sitting there, cup, a paper cup with steaming coffee - I know, but I have 3 a week - in one hand and a cigarette in another. It’s winter. And I sat down outside. Maybe a drunkard! Worst! A terrorist! Worst! The devil! WORST!!! Anti Consumerist otherwise peaceful and innocent bystander!!!!

It’s wasn’t Tobi. He wasn’t there. He went inside to the loo. To Bisketi and I think he must have met some friend or just someone friendly or the Pullas and other bakes must have looked so good that he couldn’t leave for a while. He caught up with me at home and we had dinner together. The whole family.

We didn’t manage to meet Santa in town. Wanted to talk to him about something but he is ever so elusive. I don’t know what’s going on. You think I could just call him but he doesn’t have a phone. Of course one could skype him but I heard that his laptop has been sort of nicked by the elves and the skype connection became a hotline to Amnesty. By the elves. They slaves. They have given up their free roaming, independent and noble savage lifestyle dictated by spirit, the very inner spirit we all have. Freedom. They have compromised for that spirit cannot exist without maintaining its material vessel, the body. Thus elven society was born and subdued to Santa’s reign. (In Finland at least, north of Oulu) In return for giving up freedom they have achieved the physical security but the price is incomprehensible. Now they are trying to get amnesty international to take up their case. Help them brake free from slavery. Unfortunately Amnesty only takes on high profile, winnable cases and we all know that Elves are low profile creatures. Ask any child. Has any of them ever actually really seen one? Of course not. Right?

Elves should know, and if any of you are reading know than that Santa is a slave himself! A 24/7 availability thing. Almost like a prime minister but worst. And of course while it is easy to rise up against a physical structure, a state of oppression if you like it is impossible to rise against the fabric that it is sown from; for elves are a product of their society, a source in essence of their own misery.

I promised no politics yesterday, If my memory doesn’t cheat me but it shouldn’t! I am only coming up 30 not 70...
I wish I was a dragon. They live practically forever.
Tobi says it’s boring. The grass is always green somewhere else eh?
Right now probably under a lot of snow.

We scared a dog out of its skin today. Unfortunately there was no visual. I banged the mopping device against a door by accident. The dog must have been lying just on the other side and although we often get barked at from behind doors by four legged ones who think that we are going to scrub or steal away their precious PVC flooring from the corridors this one was different. It was funny. We really gave it a fright. Tobi still laughing outside fell and rolled in the snow then wanted to get under my coat for comfort. That wasn’t funny. He managed an passer byes looked at me with that typical condemning look where they try to look as if not condemning but one can really tell. Which they know. And they know that you know but they don’t mind it really so much so of course it is curious than why try hiding it?
I guess for the sake of typing.
The keyboard probably tastes of Duck flavoured Noodle soup. I am not licking it. Maybe Tobi will clean it off later…

Yeah, Channel 4 news has grown boring. What’s on the news anyway? I can tell! Wanna know?
Gordon Brown got to gambling, serious gambling
Obama really should be sitting in the oval thingy cause he already calls the shots anyway
It’s scary that people maybe have less money to do their big XM shopping this year, is the world gonna end?
As for the rest of the world? ‘The rest is silence’

So Mikhail Bakunin is an interesting read. Something thay you wont find out from 4news
I hear he really couldn’t stand Marx

The title…

Hi Gabor!
'Was here having an attentive reading of your lines and it all makes a lot of sense! Except for the snow - no snow in Denmark yet.
So to say that of course you couldn't find Santa. Santa went the Pinguin, the Clown, The cat and the Little Rabbit on the train to the Circus! Yes!... leaving the Elves behind packing xm gifts.
I was really impressed with the news on yahoo this end of the week. While last friday it was Buy Nothing Day - may be the short haired blond camera-police-men were looking for some of those consumer agitators (?) I realised that people in need, having less money to ... everything includung buying xm presents, thanks giving meals or clothing, can go over anyone else. And kill someone just because he was in front of the all the people waiting for the shopping mall to open their doors. the poor Wal-Mart worker did died under the feet of dozens of people running crazy for the sales. It makes me feel bad for being a consumer. I need to find a spiritual retirement soon, or I will leave this personallity of mine!
By the other side the heart touching news of the legacy this 11 y.o. terminal ill leaves to the world and is people just by asking for help to those homeless (also on yahoo). Impressive!

How is the weather tomorrow (monday)? If the sky is clear try to see the Moon, Venus and Jupiter aligned together! It is one of a kind picture from our universe! I hope I can catch it on camera!

Oh!?! Do you think that the camera-police-men were taping you because there isn't any clear sky to see the stars???

Greetings,
