It’s Election Day.  May the dildo of karma arrive raw and unlubed for a certain R party. 

Some should take the hint.

Reflecting on how good it is to be alive and to never take each day for granted. A co-worker of mine was asked to leave work after yelling at a resident (I work in a retirement home) and yesterday he was arrested for attempted murder for stabbing his mother. Thankfully she is ok, but it's chilling that I worked with someone capable of doing such a thing.

Terrifying. And incredibly eye opening. We can never truly know what lies beneath the surface of 99.9 percent of individuals. This is why I find it hard to trust, often taking years to fully open up to someone. I've encountered my share of individuals who revealed themselves to be deranged monsters. I vividly recall a moment nearly a decade ago when I discovered that one of my closest friends at the time was taking money from my wallet. It changed me forever... I could never be that trusting again. I believed she was like a sister to me, and the realization that I had been so oblivious to her actions for such a long time... struck me deeply.

I'M SO READY for that dark theme of the forum! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. 

A gay Christmas tree.

So my mom used to watch this Spanish telenovela called "El Manantial" when I was a kid and I would watch some episodes with her and the other day I started watching it on YouTube out of curiosity and holy crap, is it insane! Like the mother of the female protagonist was having an affair with the father of the male protagonist and it was so messy and crazy and she ended up getting pregnant with his child, (but of course the child ended up being stillborn). And the male protagonist's mom grew very bitter and angry because of her husband cheating on her and screwing around on her and she opposes her son's relationship with the female protagonist, (and can you really blame her? I mean, her husband is a total scumbag!).

By the way, the one character that I remember from that show all these years later is the male protagonist's mother Margarita, who's played by Daniela Romo. And she's an excellent villain, very layered and complex. She has these moments where she's vulnerable and then she also has these moments where she's angry and raging at everybody. I wish we had a villain like that on American soaps. I'm not sure about the state of Spanish soaps these days, but the telenovelas, (at least the ones back in the late 90's/early 2000's), were very interesting and compelling. I guess now I'm beginning to understand where my journey to soapland truly began.
