Evaluation, January 2012

The very first month of 2012, according to some the year when the reign of humanity will be ending (although we know now that the apocalyptic predictions based on the mayan prophecies are no more than a misconception in the interpretation of the Mayan Calendar, which only suggests that there’s gonna be a shift in a paradigm, the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next in December 2012), has gone by.

What is your evaluation?

I managed to po(o)p in to the homeland briefly, only to find out that the vast majority of my friends is just too busy to meet me for a cuppa (…would probably mean a huge effort, UNLIKE paying for the bloody ticket and juggling stuff at work to be able to come to Brno for three days…) and the others fled the country already. Well; out of sight, out of mind. Or, as my friend Tereza once remarked:

„Just forget them, as they forgot you..“

Sounds sensible,..but easier said…

A professional numerologist Zdena Blechová (and he chuckles maliciously..– you see, her surname means „a flea“ in czech, not that I am immature or sumtin..) claims that

„the relationships are gonna go through the major leap forward in 2012. People will learn to treat each other with more respect, equaly. The line between the male and female roles will blur, it is gonna become unified.“

Well..Finaly. I often weep over the fate of my female friends, who very soon after graduating abandon their feministic notions and glue themselves to the stove or the ironing board, understanding it is their feminine duty to support a career-chasing partner by doing the chores and heating up his soup before he comes home from work. And they desperately awaits a cluster of cells to begin to form in their utterus, so they won’t be so alone when they darn the socks in the dim light of the empty flat during those boring hours when they male counterparts make the money somewhere out there.

I do remember times when they confused me for a girl (the ancient times defined by the soft facial features and a ponytail, oh yes, the sins of the past). There was one sweet old cloackroom attendant lady in one of the theaters in Brno, who mistook me for a girl and than laughed, embarassed: „Oh, what was it that the Nostradamus said in one of his prophecies? When the men becomes indistinguishable from women, than…,“ and becuase it would be even more awkward to talk about the end of the world, she finished: „..than we will probably not distinguish them.“

I hope that Blechová is right and I do await the partnership harmony with open arms. Even though I should not complain, my score for 2012 is just a single (but intense) quarrel, which lasted for about 40 minutes before the reconsiliation. Adam in his fit of rage roughed the bed duvet up (fortunately not me), and it was one of those situations which you find hilarious even that very second, but you know that if you’d let it out and laugh, you’d sign your death sentence.

I applaud my self-control.

The numerologist goes on predicting that people will take more interest in communicating and learning about each other.

Some says this Year of the Dragon is gonna be defined by the difficult and challenging /in/decisions, and uncertainty. However I still refuse to give in to the lazy beliefs of the predetermined harsh destiny and I will always preach that whoever sets his mind to flounder and worry will remain being treated that way, and whoever makes the effort and first step towards the happiness will be met with happiness half way through.
