Your birthday, my grandfather's birthday and my great-grandfather's wedding day

I posted this on my Twitter/X on 11 January 2024:

" A think tank piece made excuses for #Bahrain's self-declared king joining #Biden's #RedSea coalition vs #Ansarallah for blocking Israeli ships until Israel ends Gaza op. Real reason: #Iran's historical claim to #Bahrain will be raised again. #Blinken told Hamad, "Join us or them."

(The so-called think tank is Gulf State Analytics and the piece was written by Giorgio Cafieri. I told him that his piece was a nothing-burger because there was nothing in it that I didn't know. I told him that it's obvious he's a shill for MSM because he didn't include fact that you had Ebrahim Sharif arrested for publicly opposing you for putting Bahrain at risk to join Biden's folly.

I posted the below on my Twitter/X on 15 January 2024 from a YouTube video of January 14th in which great Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin was interviewed on a number of subjects including the stupid US/UK military operation against Yemen in which you agreed to take part.

I did not use Dugin's actual words because they would have triggered Twitter's algorythm for hate speech. Instead I said that Dugin had made a grim prediction. Why? He literally said that you are a "dead man walking." Of course I do not wish that you be killed or die until your time has come as God wills it. I also do not wish for my Twitter account to be suspended for what could be interpreted as such a wish.

Especially because, again this year as for the past 58 years, I wish you a happy birthday.

"Alexander Dugin on Jan 14th makes a grim prediction regarding the fate of "Amir of #Bahrain" (who calls himself king) for joining U.S. kinetics against #Yemen, which is supporting #Palestinians through unilateral blockade of Israel-connected ships in #RedSea #BabAlMandab #ArabSea."

Today I changed the words to one of the many songs that I wrote about you or our relationship. The song title is "Does My Memory Linger on?" I kept the 2 verses and the 2 choruses, but added a bridge (or a Causeway, if you prefer.) It's a waltz. We could have danced to it at Annabel's the night David Niven was there with Princess Grace and their guests sitting at a table close to us. I always loved slow dancing with you. I wrote about it in my journals.

Verse 1: What will you do - when I say goodbye to you?

What will you do - after I'm gone?

Will you erase every trace of me?

Or will my memory linger on?

Chorus 1: I tried to tell you in so many ways

A better picture I could not have drawn

Perhaps you'll remember me after I've left

And my memory lingers on.

Verse 2: Do you regret - that August day when we met?

Did I bring joy into your life?

How could you - leave me all alone

And take another for your wife?

Chorus 2: I tried to tell you in so many ways.

A better picture could never be drawn.

Perhaps you'll discover it after I've left

And my memory lingers on.

Bridge: I stood aside

when your mother chose Bride 1.

I did the same thing when you

chose Bride 2.

But when you chose 3 and 4,

I said no more,

And hope my memory lingers on.

My goodness. This morning I got an email from the DNA and Ancestry provider telling me that the 28th of January 1891 was the birthday of my late maternal grandfather. Historically, his family came to America on the Mayflower! I learned that fact this summer when my daughter took me to Salt Lake City for my 75th birthday wish and I spent long days doing family research. Today I also found out that my great, great maternal grandfather was married on the 28th of January. Isn't that an interesting set of facts? Three men in my life had a connection to January 28th: you and two maternal grandfathers.

Meanwhile, I was wondering if you do the same things as your father did when he was the Amir. Do you sit in a chair under an umbrella on the beach looking through binoculars at the young girls and their mothers in their bikinis? Do you send trays of cold Pepsi and Fanta to them? Do you send little plates to them with small pieces of Sara Lee banana cake? Is the beach (where your first speedboat sank because you left the bilge open) still open only to white people from Britain, Europe and the U.S.? Is the vintage video jukebox still in that palace? Are you still entertaining at Safriyya?

No matter. I hope you had a happy birthday. For one day, I will spare you from my political advice and commentary, as my gift to you.

Broken Hearts

Science! It's a scientific fact that females are not the only ones who always remember their first love and suffer from a broken heart. Males, whether they go on to meaninglessly fuck a lot of random women, marry and keep in separate palaces four women due to family and political circumstances, become a brutal dictator who takes orders from another, higher-ranking dictator, signs a silly agreement with the number one enemy of Muslims and makes nice with the most militant country in the world ... also remember their first love and suffer from a broken heart. 

I remember that I was your first love. I remember that you suffered from a broken heart. Look at all the horrible things you've done because your heart was broken.

15 August 1965, A Day Etched in My Memory

Every year I mark it on my calendar. Tonight there's one minute left of this day to honor that day. So I do. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OLD LOVE

 Happy Birthday,

to the one I used to know.

You Look Like A Rabbit Waiting for A Carrot

Seeing this photograph of you with the brilliant President Xi Jinping made me laugh. You think he's got a carrot for you?

David Suchet, the fake Poirot mustache and yours

      I admit that I have been watching older episodes on PBS of David Suchet in the role of Agatha Christie's Hercules Poirot because he looks what I thought you would when you lost most of your hair but still dyed your fake mustache black.

     Since your mustache was never thick in all the years that I knew you, all 17 of them, I wondered if you just glued the newer, fluffy mustache above your lip or if, perhaps, you did to your mustache what Steven Seagal did to his hairline, using hair plugs from the back of his neck implanted into a widow's peak. 

     I knew him when he did that. My daughter and I made a road trip in my old little toy truck from Santa Monica up the coast of southern California and then inland over the San Marcos Pass to Los Olivos where my neighbor and great friend from London was visiting her daughter, Kelly, who was married to Steven at that time. He sat at the dinner table with a little cap on his head to cover up the unsightly plugs and spoke vulgarly to his gun-buying friend Lionel ... in front of the ladies and a little girl. Steven never had a bit of class.

     Nevermind. I digress. The last time that we met you were losing your hair and using Grecian Formula or something to dye it. I guess it must have affected you psychologically to look at yourself with gray hair and, in my view, the silly dyed and fake mustache proves it. You can't bear to look at your real self in the mirror because your personality changed. 

     Maybe watch a bit of David Suchet as Poirot. Bald on top and big brown eyes. Riveting, thinking that you could have been a kind old man instead of one lies through his teeth, who jails his political opponents, allows them to be tortured, denied proper medical care and, like Dr. Singace, even deprived possession of their own writings in your dirty jails.

     I'm think that I'm going to write another book this November. I've written five books in the last 15 years, none of them published yet. So far there have been three about you and two others about 10 years of exploration into virtual relationships which either stayed virtual or moved into real life. Of particular interest to me is the subject of pirates and fake coups, with a fake mustache thrown in for fun.

Golly, I hope this posts before January 28th birthday is over

Happy Birthday, Hamad. It's 4:14 PM here in Seattle so it might already be January 29th in Bahrain. If so, then belated wishes for your 72nd birthday yesterday. My advice for this year:

1) Get more exercise. 

2) Quit using poisonous dye to make your mustache black, especially on the parts you had implanted to make it bushy. Your mustache was never full, year after year after year. Dying beards and hair on old men looks silly. Salman doesn't dye his facial hair, so are you trying look younger than him? 

3) I recognize that you're a debt slave to killer Bonesaw and the egotistical Mohamed bin Zayed, but your support of their dirty war in Yemen to stop representative government, acquire oil, pipelines, ports and islands is going to harm you in the end. Perhaps you might consider just keeping your mouth shut instead of daily sending your reps to condemn Ansarallah for defending Yemen against the coalition committing daily war crimes. If Bahrain is still flying planes over Yemen and contribute to the war by bombing, my advice is to stop it. Retaliation is a bitch.

4) It was a stupid, thoughtless move you made to join Kushner's silly no-peace-for-Palestine plan and turn your back on the Palestinians. Most Bahrainis know it was a dirty, dirty deal that you did because neither you or the Apartheid State want representative governments in the Persian Gulf states run by Arab dictators, whether amirs or self-appointed kings like you. You had your reasons, but there's none good enough for what you did, including the acquisition of Pegasus software to spy on Bahrainis in exchange for your signature on the so-called, fancy-named Abraham Accords. That action is also going to bite you in the butt at some time, probably on the butt cheek with the big mole on it. 

5) As always, my best advice is for you to stay out of helicopters. You know why.
