Earth, LSD and the incredible lover

I take various quizes on Facebook and i get very strange results. I am either LSD, Earth as a planet and even incredible lover. The incredible lover knocked me down. Me, incerdible lover? If they only knew, I’d have a different man for every day and night. Too bad i am not one. I wish i were but given my experience so far, nobody had me more than once. it may well also be my bad breath or my smelly feet. or my poor bowel cleansing style. or all of them together.

if i, will i

if i wake up now will i have enough time to live
if i stand up now will i have the strength to make it
if i speak now will anybody listen to my words
if i kill myself now will anybody notice that i’m gone
if i vanish now will dust cover my tracks
if i scream now will the man in the moon hear me
if i spread my wings will i look majestic
if i look into the future now will it change because of that
if i swallow my pride will that save me from starvation

comment to “M.T. ‘Homosexualul din debaraua mamei mele’” on gaypride.ro

i came out to my mother a couple of weeks after i came out to my cousin and subsequently to my mother’s sister and her granddaughter. i have to say that i split between telling her and having a weight lifted from my heart and not telling for for the fear of her reaction. i asked my cousin to probe her on the subject but i decided to tell her anyway on the spur of the moment. i was driving her home one day, sometime in november. i remember we were passing by the big house of the parliament when all of a sudden i said ‘mom, i have something to tell you: i am gay’ all in one breath. i remember that she immediately said that if i would have found a good girl this would not have happened. i told her that i think i must have been gay all my life but only now i got to accept it and live by it. now that i think of it, her impromptu reaction is a bit suspicious. she and my father, god rest his soul, must have suspected something and perhaps decided to ‘help’ me stay straight. i wish i could see my father’s reaction to that. really. or my grandfather’s. i know what my grandmother would have said, something like ‘are you sure?’ and ‘be careful’.

signs

later i received some strange signs.
i do the ‘what celebrity are you?’ on facebook and end up as Marylin Monroe. i do ‘what molecule are you?’ and i fins out i am LSD! then i buy a croissant with BEN10 stickers and mine is ‘Ghostfreak’. Apparently my dream job is hero, or at least that is what ‘what is you dream job?’ quiz on facebook says.

conclusion: i am a freak.
question: is this good or bad?

it was a afternoon, about 31 year ago. i would take a nap in the afternoon. my mother was around me at all times. i have never before been alone at home. my mother was with me at all times, even when i was asleep. but that day in particular got stuck in my memory.
i wake up and started to call my mom as usual, as many children do. no answer. i figures she must have been in the kitchen and she can not hear me. so i got off of my bed and went on to look for mom. the apartment we had at the 10th floor was not that big but is was for a 5 yo like me. the kitchen was hear the entrance hall. that is where a realized that i was alone in the house. i paniked. i started to yiel, then to hit the main door with my fists and my feet. then i started to cry. i wet back to my tiny bed and continued to cry. my mom and dad came home eventually. they have gone downstairs to some friends that had running water (we were having problems with that at the time at the 10th floor) to bring some water for drinking. my dad told me then something like that i should get used to staying home alone. it was not the case because when my mom started to work again, they find me a place at a kindergarten downtown where i was ok with the exception of closed rooms by myself.
i never quite figured out this one. i always panik, maybe even now, if i get stuck in a room by myself. that is why i take my mobil phone with me to the toillet. just in case. i think though i went past that. i mean, i am all grown up. i can rationalize being stucked in a room by myself. no need to panik. somebody will come to free me eventually.on the other hand it may be an explanation why i conciously withdraw from any form of relationship.  this constant need for attention and love, this fear of rejection and this pattern of withdrawal… no, i think i am right. i can not make and keep friends, i can not have love and i do not need that or friends. all i need to do is get used to it. after all, i can adapt. there are a lot of things i can do instead. like workout. reading. important stuff.

a murit sora mamei mele

sunt nesimtit.
nu simt nimic.
nici compasiune, macar pentru mama care a fost foarte apropiata de sora ei mai mare.
astept sa vad cum va reactiona mama in zilele si saptamanile urmatoare.
avand in vedere ca de zece ani traieste si se descurca destul de bine si fara tata, nu ar trebui sa-mi fac griji.

cand a murit tata a fost tare ciudat.
luni pe la amiaza primesc telefon de la mama ca tata a fost dus cu salvarea la urgenta cu dureri in piept. toti ne-am gandit ca e infart si ma asteptam sa-i treaca si, cu regim si ingrijire sasi revina. stiu insa ca atunci am gandit asta si i-am spus Aidei (o colega cu care eram in relatii ceva mai bune) ca mi-e teama sa nu fie mai rau.
seara am mers la el la spital. era la terapie intensiva si am reusit sa vorbesc cu el putin. a fost ultima data cand l-am vazut in viata si oricat ma straduiesc, nu reusesc sa imi aduc aminte tot ce am vorbit atunci. stiu ca i-am spus ca de acum in colo trebuie sa-ri schimbe stilui de viata si regimul alimentar, i-am zis ca ar fi bine ca in final sa-mi iau si eu permisul de conducere. el cred ca mi-a spus ceva ca a vazut pe strada un tanar care semana cu mine si cred ca mi-a spus ca sunt un tip bine si ca am tot ce-mi trebuie ca sa reusesc in viata. nu mai stiu exact cum a zis, dar stiu ca a zis cumva, ca urmare a discutiei pe care o avusesem cu o zi in urma (duminica) ca sunt bine si ca pot sa fac orice sau cam asa ceva.
a doua zi am mers din nou la spital seara, inainte sa merg la sala, dar nu am indraznit sa intru in salon pentru ca era in afara orelor de vizita si nu am vreut sa-l derajez. nu stiam atunci ca el era la acea ora la fundeni si ca diagnosticul era altul: anevrism aortic.
miercuri am mers la servici dimineata. pe la amiaza ma suna mama sa-mi spuna ca nu mai este la floreasca ci la fundeni si ca este in operatie. am fugit cat am putut de repede la fundeni. am ajuns vreo ora mai tarziu si am astaptat cu mama pe un hol la sectia de chirugie.
nu mai stiu cat am stat dar la un moment dat am fost chemat sa stau de vorba cu doctorul. acesta mi-a spus direct ca tata a murit. pentru o secunda am avut sentimentul ciudat ca vorbeste de altcineva nu de tatal meu. mi-a explicat ce s-a intamplat.
mult dupa aceea am trait cu sentimentul de vinovatie ca nu am facut destul ca sa-l salvez. sunt convins ca rudele mele si azi considera ca l-am abandonat in spital.
in seara aceea am vorbit cu varul lui tata din austria, care este medic acolo si mi-a explicat ca odata produsa ruptura practic nu mai avea nicio sansa.
dupa ce am iesit de la doctor m-am hotarat pe loc sa-i spun mamei, direct, fara menajamente. primul lucru pe care mi l-a spus, inainte sa izbucneasc in lacrimi, a fost ‘ce ma fac eu fara tata’. noroc ca era acolo si sotia mea. am sprijinit-o amandoi. nu mai stiu ce s-a intamplat in seara aia.
eu nu am plans deloc atunci. in ziua inmormantarii am plans putin si am mai plans vreo sase luni mai tarziu, intr-o seara, in tramvai, cand ma intorceam de la birou, dupa ce intr-o anumita imprejurare in acea zi, mi-am amintit de tata.
la cateva zile dupa inmormantare am trecut cu mama prin lucurile lui si pot sa spun ca am incercat un sentiment foarte nefiresc, ca moartea a fost in acel moment cel mai bun lucru care i s-a intamplat. avea probleme cu banii, incerca tot felul de afaceri paguboase.
iar eu am ramas cu impresia ca m-am impact cu el si cu sentimentul ca sunt putin mai singur pe lume.

Of a Father

the thing about my mother

ever since i was a child, growing up in Piatra Neamt nad then in Bucuresti, my mother was the center of the Universe for me. she always offseted my father. since i hated him, she was all i had left to cling on. i was in love with her nonetheless. there are a lot of things i am and i do today that i owe to her: an accute respect and polytness, gentleness toward others and a deep sense of justice that i try to hide and rid myself of. because of her, i never enter or leave a place without greeting, i always say thank you even undue. i always am quiet and i try to be gentle and obedient. that is how she is, and perhaps that is how i learned to be from her. it is something like ‘live and let live’.
i told her i am gay. well, she is very religious in a very uncospicous way, and she is abiding to she social norms of the majority. her first reaction was ‘how am i gone face our other relatives and the people we know? what are they going to say about this and about me?’. perhaps it was a little bit selfish on her part. i don’t want to judge. we go along OK, and it is really funny for me the way she changes the subject every time i talk about my gay stuff.
i understand her reaction and i accept it. she was rised in a certain way and i do not expect her to understand this. i hope she still loves me deep down inside even if she does not show it. i know i do. deep, deep, inside me.

amends with my father

Dear Dad,

I am writting you this letter because i want to make amends with you.
I hope it finds you well and in Heaven. I hope God took you from here because he really needed a very good engineer up there.
I want to start by asking forgiveness from you for the bad things I said to you while you were still alive. I did not really meant it when I said I did not love you. I was upset. I wanted you to really get me. I was frustrated for all the years when I had to hide my true self from you so that you don’t bruise it. All I wanted from you was to take as I was, to set me free and help me fly. All I got from you was doubt in my powers, doubt in my abilities, doubt in my decisions, rejection of all my wants and wishes. All I got was the knowledge that is was to able and not worthy. When I was 16 you took me to the endocrinologist to see if you was man enough. I was so humiliated when that lady touch my testicles to size them. I was so humiliated that you doubted me.I wish I understand why.
You know, I really want to find reasons to love you. As with your father, I never wanted to be like you. I resented you.
Once, in my scrap book I wrote my role model was Obi Wan Kenoby. I class mate wrote that his role model was his father. You read that book, even if it was meant to be private, and sneered at me because i did not chose you. I can not but to wonder if you actually did not resent me in kind. I always felt that I was a very big disappointment for you. That you wanted me to be different.
Well, to add insult to injury, I need to tell you something, Dad.
I am gay.

Your son,

amends with my grandfather

i used to hate you deeply like the ocean hates the land and everything on it.
you were authoritarian, insensitive, fake, fearful. i hated everything you wanted me to do, the way you wanted me to do it. i feared you and resented you. i did not understand why. i hated when i felt i may become you. i did not want to be like you. you made me doubt myself so many times and that is what broke me into million pieces.
about a year ago i figured something out, though. within the clutter in my head i figured something precious. now, when i come to think of it, you were my first teacher of English, EVER. and you did not even speak English. you took leasson for three month to teach me English. tears find their way from my eyes as i write this. nobody ever did something like this for me and perhaps never will. and for that, i thank you.

farewell
your grandson
