as long as i breathe, i hope's Tumblelog

an email I received this morning

i’m sorry that i won’t know you
as you know me; that we won’t
share bits of each other over
red wine and cheese, candles
and entrees we both laugh
when trying to pronounce.

i’m sorry i won’t sneak my hand
into yours under the table,
catch your eyes with mine and
hold my breath until you look
away.

i’m sorry we won’t walk home
after dinner, because my place
is down the block, and we
won’t get a chance to hear the
violinist change to something
romantic, that i won’t buy you
that handmade rose from the
man that winks as we pass.

i’m sorry that this won’t be me,
but can you blame me for
being jealous of who it gets
to be?

Irena Sendler
1910-2008

A 98 year-old German woman named Irena Sendler recently died. During WWII, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. Irena smuggled Jewish children out; infants in the bottom of the tool box she carried and older children in a burlap sack she carried in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children. She eventually was caught, and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families. Most had been killed. She helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming.

Wow. She fucking trained a dog to bark in order to muffle the babies’ cries as she smuggled them past Nazi guards. Al Gore does a slide show and SNL appearance. Is the Nobel Peace Prize a notch above the MTV Movie Awards?

EPIC FAIL, guys.

I don’t like the confusion that it brings. I’d rather have the honest truth even if it hurts. Because then I won’t be wasting my time depending on false hope to keep me hanging on.

Peter: Oh my God.
Sydney: That’s a fuckin fart.
Peter: Oh my God.
Sydney: Look at him, crop dusting across your open house, it’s a disgrace.
Peter: He farted in my open house.
Sydney: He sure did.
