MEMOIRS
*********************
For a number of years I worked in a five-and-dime store.
I must have been good at it
because I was soon promoted to assistant manager.
The manager I worked for was an ambitious little bugger
who once bragged about the fact that
he was the youngest manager in the Province.
Soon after the department store went bankrupt
and ceased to exist.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

Saturday, November 19, 2016/ON OLD AGE /At least once a day I stop and wonder: If I am here for a reason, what is the reason?*Because I refused to be a taxi-driver like him he thought of me as a daydreaming megalomaniac and a fool. I thought of him as a loud-mouth idiot. With old age come second thoughts. He was not the idiot. I was. He understood Armenians better than I did; and he understood them because he was one of them.#

ON GENOCIDE
************************
Genocides are not improvised on the spur of the moment.
They are premeditated and planned with great care.
If we didn’t see it coming it’s because
we were brainwashed to believe
if we are spat upon by certain people,
it will be to our advantage to pretend
it’s’ raining.

ON PROPAGANDA
*******************************
Our propaganda has been in business
long before I was born
and it will continue to be in business
long after I am gone.
Transgressions may be forgiven
but not habits.
*
ON REPETITION
******************************
If I repeat myself it may be because
our propaganda refuses to shut the f*** up.
