|  8 mai 2012: Human Stupidity by Ion CreangaOne of the best known Romanian folk stories is that of "Human Stupidity", as told by a Moldovan bard, Ion Creanga. I haven't found an English translation online, so I decided to translate it myself with the help of Google. First published in Învățătorul copiilor..., ed. III, Iași, 1874; as usual, I translate with Google and make a few quick correction, so I apologize if the quality is low: Once upon a time, when it was, because, if it hadn’t been, we’d have no story to tell. We are not from those times, but we are two to three days closer, when the flea wore ninety-nine lbs iron heavy shoes to a foot and it still felt too light. It’s been said that once there was a married man, and this man lived together with his mother-in-law. His wife, who had a suckling child, was rather dumb; even the mother-in-law, was no smartie. One day, our man leaves the house to go about his business, like every man does. His wife, after she bathed the baby, swaddled and nursed him, then she put him in bed next to the stove, because it was winter, and then swung it and sang a lullaby, until he fell asleep. After he fell asleep, she sat there thinking, then began to wail as loud as her mouth alllowed: "Aulio! My baby, my baby!" Her mother, who spun behind the chimney, startled, threw away her tools and, jumping up selflessly, asked with dread: - What is it, mother’s deares, what’s with you? - Mother, Mother! My child will die! - When and how? - Here's how. See the salt block on the chimney? - I see it. So? - If the cat climbs up there, it will throw it straight to my baby's head and kill him! - Woe to me, right you are, my girl; the little one’s days are numbered! And, looking ahead to block of salt on the chimney and with their hands clenched, as if someone had tied them, they began to wail both, like crazy, as if the house was boiling. While they were in the midst of self-disfigurement, the man of the house entered the door, hungry and worried. - What is it? What startled you, witches? Catching their breath, they began to wipe off their tears and tell him while mourning about the happening that had yet to happen. The man, after listening to them, said with wonder: - Yo! I saw many fools in my life, but never like you two. I’'ll go roam the land! And if I find anyone dumber than you, I’ll be coming home, but if not, I won’t. So saying, he sighed heavily, leaving the house without saying goodbye, and left angry and bitter! And he walking batty without knowing where to, after some time, stopping in one place, it happened to see something that he had never seen before: a man was holding a bushel with its mouth to the desert sun for a short while then quickly grabbed it and ran back with it in his shack, and then he’d come back out, and put its mouth to the sun, and so on ... Our traveler, puzzled, said: - Hello, good man! - Thank you, friend! - But what are you doing here? - Well, I’ve been toiling for the past two or three days to carry some sun into my shack, to have light, but to no avail... - What a drudge, yo! said the traveler. Have an ax handy? - Yes I do. - Grab it by the tail, break here and the sun will go inside by itself. Once he did so, and sunlight got into the shack. - A great wonder, good man, said the host. Had God not brought you here, I was to grow old carrying the sun with my bushel. "Another goof," said the traveler to himself and left. And on he went. After a while he reached a village, and, by chance, stopped at the house of a man. The man of the house was a wheelwright, and had assembled a carriage in the house, in its entirety; and now wished to take it out, so he pulled the hitch with all his might but the wagon would not come out. You know why? The doors were narrower than the cart. The man wanted to demolish the walls to take it out. Luckily however, the traveler taught him to take the cart apart, take the parts outside one by one and then put it back together again.
- Much obliged, good man, said the host, you taught me well! Just think about it! I was about to demolish this good old house for the cart’s sake ... From here on our traveler, counting yet another dimwit, went straight ahead, until he again reached a house. There, what do you see?! A man with a big fork in one hand, was trying to throw some nuts into the attic. "More and more idiots," said the traveler itself. - But why are you so troubled, good man? - Well, I want to throw some nuts in the attic, and this damned big fork, cursed be its name, not is no good ... - You toil pointlessly, uncle! You can curse it all you want, the fork won’t work. Have a bushel? - How could I not have it? - Put the nuts in the bushel, take it on the shoulder and climb up to the attic; the big fork is for straw, not for nuts. The man listened, and work was soon over. Traveler did not linger there any more, but left, counting one more idiot. Then, from there he went on, until he had to see yet another silly deed. A man had tied a cow with a rope around the neck and, having climbed up to a barn where he had thrown some hay, was pulling the rope hard to get cow up on the barn. The cow was in pain, and he was getting tired ... - My man! said the traveler in stupor, but what are you trying to do? - What am I doing, you ask me? But can’t you see? - I do see, I just do not understand. - Look, this cow is very hungry but would rather die than come up here on this barn to get some hay ... - Hold on, Christian, you’re hanging the cow! Take the hay down to the cow! - But won’t it get wasted? ... - Do not be sparing of bran and cheap on the flour. The man listened and the cow escaped death. - Well you taught me, good man! For this little hay I was about to strangle my cow! So, our traveler, wondering and this is great folly, said to himself, "the cat could have possibly pushed the salt block off the chimney, but carry the sun in the house with a bushel, throw walnuts to the attic with a big fork and drag the cow up to the barn by rope, NEVER! " So the traveler returned home and partied with his own, whom he considered more enlightened than those who saw in his journey. AND I rode on a saddle, and so told you this ditty. AND I rode on a wheel, and I told it still. AND I rode on a strawberry, and I lied to make you merry! The story seems to equate female passivity and lack of agency with stupidity. Women are passive and complain while the man is the doer – he makes things happen, he is the agent of change. Yet this is not what the story is about. After roaming the land in search of intelligence, our hero goes back home where things are not as bad. I included below for good measure links to the original in Romanian as well as the audio version + other stories by Ion Creanga made into movies. Finally, you can find the movie Idiocracy (imdb).

|  8 mai 2012: between 12 and 12-BI really don’t have the time for this, but yet again, someone on the internets is wrong. There were many foreign students in my childhood Bucharest, most studying to become doctors in our University and most speaking Arabic. Everything was cheap in petrodollars and especially Romanian women, who, according to the Arab students were the best looking and cheapest in Europe. Most were willing to have sex even for small gifts, such as coffee, stockings and even cheap chocolate. The foreign students were renting cars and rented cars had plates starting with 12-B, hence Mihai Stanescu’s caricature. In this internship-like version of “schimb de experienta cu expertii straini” (“cultural exchange”?) Romanian women were not only acquiring small gifts, but(t) also, due to the low availability of contraception methods, a new style of walking. If you were to ask them after many years about their Arabic paramours, these pitzis would’ve said about each one “and I really loved him, but he broke my heart and colon; and after all this, he really was a Jew: he wanted his bong back.” The following are real comments from “Adevarul” – the paper I wrote about in engrish & 13 to such a story: You might think that comments don’t make a tabloid; then again, the content is not far off that genre either. Yet it probably wasn’t the reputation of Romanian women the major factor in forming my ethics, nor was being on my own in my teens in Bucharest with an apartment to take care of, school to go to, a guardian aunt who was cheating on my uncle at my place and also keeping my pension and whatever my father was sending for herself in a crumbling infrastructure and disappearing morals. Let’s just say it was mostly my earlier childhood experiences that informed an oversized sense of fairness. Injustice made me literally sick (I ascribe my childhood asthma – “bronsita astmatiforma” – to such emotions) and it still has an almost paralyzing effect on me. It’s nearly impossible to discuss issues of fairness or ethics with others as most people assume that you do so from a position of superiority, a “hollier-than-thou” attitude, but I persevere. One such issue is paying for sex. Paying for sex is something I’ve never been able to bring myself to do – at least, I didn’t think so. I was in such a situation a few times, but nothing much came out of it. For instance, once in Paris, during one of my Euro trips, I had a few hours to kill before leaving, I was too tired of museums so I spent this time roaming the streets. I checked out a few brothels with menus and did strike up a conversation with the girls at reception who got mad when I told them I’m not interested. A while later, a black girl coming from the opposite direction started sticking her tongue out at me (in Paris brothels this seemed the one method of enticing potential clients). I was curious what would came out of it and even though I was actually turned off by this impolite act, I followed her into a seedy apartment where – long story short – I ended up a few hundred francs (yes, it was the year before Euro adoption) lighter and with a knife at my throat. Another time I was in Krakow but that story too is better left for another article. The point is, giving a woman money, under any so-called “romantic” circumstance, instantly makes her unattractive to me and it completely excludes the possibility of a serious relationship. This is a bitch, because often times, women I have found attractive seemed to expect me to pay for dinner even when they invited me, while I may not find women who go strictly “Dutch” too attractive. I always offer to pay and sometimes even insist on it if I get the feeling that this is what she expects or that my paying will make her happy, but the end result is that she ceases to interest me sexually or otherwise. I find that even women with careers and high-paying jobs, who have their finances together, still take pleasure in having their date (me) pay for dinner; I feel insulted if they offer to pay for mine. I’ve been in situations where women – some older, some younger – treated me a bit like a plaything and wanted to pay for my hotel etc but I did not accept. I even went as far as conducting an informal survey among my female friends on their attitudes on this sort of thing and it generally went something like: do you think it’s a man’s obligation to pay for dinner? – no, of course not, but it’s nice if he offers would you ever pay for dinner? – sure, if I invited him have you ever paid for dinner? – the answers varied from “no, but I would” to “yes a few times” for the “yes” I continued: more than he paid? – the answer was invariably NO Yet that shouldn’t be surprising – if it is, listen to girlwriteswhat / donkey / responsibility. Why is this important? Well, obviously, it’s not the amount of money. In our society, if I don’t offer to pay, I will be considered “a Jew” as the comments below indicate and nothing further will happen because she will most likely not be interested. If I offer to pay, she will probably accept and nothing further will happen because I lose interest. I tried a few times to pretend I am interested, but the relationship was doomed and never recovered. This is obviously one of the many reasons some of my [potential] relationships fizzled, but it’s a pretty serious one. Furthermore, it never happens that both halves of the couple have the same financial circumstances – usually, one is a have-not. How do you deal with that? Should the couple engage only in activities that are accessible to both? Should the “richer” one fully and unconditionally subsidize the other until running out of money? Hard to answer, eh?! Let us now move on to the actual story. Sources / More info: ft, ro-ro-p asa.zamo.ca, prostitution, prostitutie, anal sex, prostituate, prostituata, Dragoste modernă (Tags)

|  10 martie 2012: Rose is more than a rose ;)Imediat ce am vazut-o acasa la ea, adica pe blogul Cristinei , am stiut ca Rose va fi a mea. Trebuia sa fie a mea. Parul ei nazdravan de rosu si cirliontat, ochii mari si verzi, rochita ei roz-prafuit si zimbetul subtire-sugubat m-au cucerit. Am asteptat-o cu emotie....imediat ce a venit i-am gasit si locul de unde ma va supraveghea in timp ce lucrez ;). E tare cuminte.....si dragostoasa. Seara o las asezata asa : As soon as I see her , on Cristinas' blog, I knew that Rose will be mine. She must be mine. Her enchanted red curly hair, big green eyes , her dusted-rose dress and the thin-funny smile make me sure that she'll be mine. I waited her to arrive with such emotions....as soon as she was here, I found this spot from where I'll be watched over during my work. . She's so good....and loving. In the evening I left her in this position :
Cred ca ii place sa verifice, noaptea tirziu prin atelierul meu, daca am stins calcatorul, daca am pus toate acele la loc, si daca am inchis laptop-ul ....si de multe ori dimineata o gasesc zimbind enigmatic , asezata asa :
I believe that she loves to check, in the night around my studio, if I turned off my iron, if I put all the needles in the pincushion, if I closed the laptop.....many times, in the morning I find her wearing an enigmatic smile sitting like this :
Si dupa ce o mingii pe cap si o intreb cum a dormit, imi intinde minuta ei dreapta cu un trandafir infasurat....o roza....care nu e doar o roza. ;)
And after a short comfort on her head and asking about her sleeping over the night, she gives me a rose with her right hand. A rose that isn't just a rose ;)
Nu-i asa ca e adorabila ? e noua mea prietena....
Isn't she adorable ? my new friend..... [...]
