My grandpa’s brothers cheated him out of his inheritance. They smiled and lured him with gifts. My grandpa Atanacio was so pure, and believed them. Much like Dionysius, when he believed the Titans before they butchered and devoured him. I heard they’re all dead now. Died from cancer and all their stolen money died with them. I knew Saturn would devour them one day. Meanwhile, my grandfather’s only true son is now vice chairman, and me preserving his last name as a good name in my current company. I’m glad I can keep him alive this way. When the American occupation came to our island, they forced my grandfather to speak only English. He would get hit with a stick if he uttered a word of Tagalog. He never lost his debonair smile. He devoured those American nationalists just like Saturn. He learned the language perfectly, and outlasted their cruel regime. My grandpa survived the Japanese occupation in the 1940s too. A weak for an excuse Japanese soldier threatened to shoot him in the head if he won’t let him inside their house. By the end of the war, that poor soldier’s all forgotten. My grandfather lived till he was in his eighties. I deserve more time with him than a decade. 

Anyway, the Belgian update: Still unimportant much like my two biological cousins who were hardly nice to me in Europe. Cousins are traitorous in dream language. Their loyalty is half divided. It’s true in the plane of reality too. I exclude my step-cousins and extended cousins from this. They’ve been nothing but wonderful to me. I forgot to mention this during Capricorn season (Coin season), but why the fuck does my grandmother from Anaheim still have beef with me for missing dinner at the top of the Eiffel Tower? I already paid her the $2k she said I owed, and then refused my $15k cash to be deposited to the owed party??? I fucking hate this family. And that’s why I shed that weird ass last name last year. Imagine sending small car parts to make yourself feel whole. Couldn’t be fucking me. 

88 more days until McAllen. Oh, my husband is so cooked for his panel session. I absolutely cannot wait. 

France is Spring in my symbolic world; Alcestis traveled to the underworld towards the Day of the dead to keep Admetus alive.  But he faded like a rival mythic ghost.There is no oath broken after waiting for a year a half to someone who drifts and doesn’t return. That thread has been cut by the three maidens. 

Richard definitely had golden retriever energy at the autograph table; he was very hard to keep up with. But he eventually matched my pace.  I keep referring to San Antonio to Versailles (which I failed to visit in France because I didn’t translate the day and hour right from my plane ticket) because it felt like a public Consummation. I felt naked, like Richard could see right through me. 

Be mine. ♥️♥️ 

So you’ll always have a way to look back, and remember me. 

Happy 76th birthday to Richard! He’s finally 26th for the third time! He’s finally safe from Leonardo di Caprio’s clutches. My Saturn is safe and sound xx. Richard is older than the happiest place on Earth!
