SOMEDAY MY PRINCESS
WILL COME. BUT WHAT IF SHE IS A SUNNI?
ZEYAD
That told me that she is Sunni, and
that her relatives had been driven
from their homes in the sectarian
"cleansing" that has swept most
Baghdad neighborhoods.
Early problems.
We'd been on the phone only a few
minutes and already there was a
potential glitch in our relationship.
Suddenly, I realized the problems of
trying to court someone in a Sunni
neighborhood. First, I would have to
win over her parents, convincing them
I was OK despite being divorced and a
Shiite. Then, I would have to bring my
Shiite parents into a Sunni district
to meet their potential in-laws and
convince them they would not fall into
the hands of sectarian killers along
the way.
I dialed the other numbers. All were
Sunni girls except for two Shiites,
neither of whom tempted me. In the
following days, I kept in phone
contact with four of the Sunni callers,
including Huda and another woman, whom
I will call Rana.
Huda and I became friends, but my
relationship with Rana became more
serious. One day, after many phone
conversations, Rana said she wanted to
meet me. She said she had fallen in
love with the sound of my voice. We
arranged to meet at a busy market in
her mainly Sunni neighborhood. In
keeping with Iraqi social custom, I
agreed not to speak to her. We would
only look at each other and decide
whether our phone chemistry translated
into physical attraction.
I was happy, but nervous. What if our
romance blossomed but her parents
later rejected me? I dreaded becoming
attached to someone, only to be forced
to say goodbye because of her family's
feelings. I urged Rana to talk to her
family before the meeting, due to take
place in a few days, and explain that
I was divorced and Shiite. She agreed.
The next day, I did not hear from
Rana. This was odd.
A couple of days later, she called.
She was angry and sad.
Just as I feared, her family had
vetoed her plans to meet me. For once,
though, it was not because I am
divorced. It was because I am Shiite.
"I asked my mom, 'What do you think
about the Shiites?' " Rana told me.
"Her answer was that she used to hate
them, but now she hates them triply."
The war had turned her mother's heart
against people like me.
I am still in touch with a couple of
the girls I met through the Venus
channel, including Huda. They have
become good friends. Maybe one day I
will send another message to the Venus
channel to try to meet someone new.
For now, though, I'll just watch other
people's messages scroll across the
screen.

I hate you
Mimz
I hate you.
Let me rephrase that - UGHH… YOU ANNOY ME SO MUCH AND I HATE YOU MORE THAN
ANYTHING!!!!
I don't know why I have to put up with your crap... this has been going on for
such a long time now I just need to let it out.. I need to be able to breathe
again.. properly without you suffocating my every inhale and exhale!!
I'm guessing right now you're thinking "man, where did all this come from?"..
I'm unfolding it all. Right now.
I don't know what you take me for. You think I don't notice your extremely
obnoxious behavior? Your uncalled for hints and remarks? Your frequent lies?
Your always wanting to be the center of attention? Your constant attempts to
screw me over, to make me jealous, to ruin my relationships with my friends
and loved ones, to mess my life up?
You were always intending to hurt me… and you've always succeeded at it.
And every single time that you triumphed and I lost, it felt like someone has
just stuck a knife deep through my heart… but you know what, moments later I
let it go, just because I don't like to rock the boat.
And the next day the cycle continues… and I let it.
How naive of me.
Why do you always do this to me?
The thing is, when you do it it's always so obvious. I can always see what
you're doing. You may be able to deceive every other person in the room, but
you can't deceive me.
Sometimes I get homicidal urges. When you talk and I'm forced to listen, I
wish I had a gun to shoot your brains out so you can shut up. Great riddance.
For everyone.
And sometimes I just think, why do I sweat it so much? I mean you're nothing.
You're nobody. I shouldn't let you get to me. You must've had some serious
issues growing up… Actually I should be concerned for you.
Other times when I see you… I see you pass by… walking toward my way… I wish I
had some razor-sharp blades on me. To mess your face up and leave you
disfigured, for life. That would be the end of the world for you… I know that
for sure.
Or better yet, blades that have been used over a hundred times so they're not
so sharp anymore. So it hurts even more when I mess you up… and afterwards I
can pour a whole jug of lemon juice mixed with five whole bags of salt on your
bleeding face.
You arrogant, good-for-nothing, thoughtless, self-seeking, insensitive,
self-absorbed, inconsiderate little …..
I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU.

Tales
of an Ass

I've just been reading the Family Law column in today's edition
of the Daily Nation. It is enough to cause you to sink into a
depression.
If you are a woman.
And maybe even, if you are the right kind of man.
Women cannot confer citizenship on their spouses. So if you
marry a foreigner who wants to become a Kenyan citizen, he will
have to jump through all the same hoops that everyone else
applying for Kenyan citizenship has to jump through.
Men on the other hand, can confer citizenship. Surprise,
surprise, I know.
Women can also not confer citizenship on their children. That
means that if you are born in Kenya of a Kenyan mother and a
foreign father, you are not a Kenyan citizen until you apply for
and are granted Kenyan citizenship.
It goes without saying that a man can confer citizenship on his
children.
So be sure to specifically direct your gratitude for your Kenyan
citizenship toward your father because apparently, your mother
had nothing to do with it.
Also, a widow who gets life interest in her husband's property
after he dies (she can profit from it but cannot sell it without
going to court) forfeits that life interest when she remarries.
Of course a widower who gets life interest in his wife's
property when she dies does not lose it if he remarries.

The theory of feminist relativity.
My neighbor has been having major
girlfriend trouble. The girlfriend has been keeping everyone in the
cottage court awake with her antics.
I can hear everything that goes on in the cottage next to me.The
girlfriend is doing that crazy intense stuff. Like getting up in the
middle of the night and going to sleep on the sofa, because she
wants attention and her boyfriend has the nerve to sleep, instead of
paying attention to her, at 2 am.
So the neighbor gets up and innocently asks her why she is on the
sofa and then boom, insane, nutso, psycho!!!
She attacks him verbally, she attacks him physically. She bites him
and throws his stuff against the wall. She breaks glasses. He
wrestles her out of the house and she comes right back in like the
terminator, 4 times. He is squealing like a stuck pig.
She screams "I hope you fucking die! I hope you fucking die!" about
a hundred times.
This goes on for hours and hours. Just when she's winding down, she
gets going again. Just when we are falling asleep, we are woken
again. Everytime she wrestles him into the kitchen, and he squeals,
I fear she has stabbed him.
A day later, she was at it again. At 4 am.
One of the lesbian neighbors went over the first night and told them
to break it up or she'd call the police. It didn't work, the
girlfriend continued to behave in a psycho way for a few hours more.
The next day the lesbian neighbor told me that she could not take
it. "He called her a cunt," she complained.
"Wait a minute I said, she was
being a cunt. She was screaming, "I hope you fucking die!" Telling
someone you want them to die is worse than calling them a cunt. Not
only that, but she was physically attacking him. She was biting him
and breaking his stuff."
Lesbian neighbor just shook her head.
Whenever the girlfriend walks down our communal walkway Devil Dawg
growls, low, because he really doesn't want to tangle with her, but
he can't help himself.
