The Boy In the Striped Pajamas Cheered Me Up!!


It has been suggested to me that I need a caveat preceding this post:  So here goes:  ****Please note that I am not nor was I happy that an innocent child was murdered in a gas chamber.  I was however, cognizant of the bitter irony that a commander of a concentration camp had his son fall victim to the same fate as countless Jews.  Moreover, I did feel glee, yes glee, that a German Officer felt the harsh reality of genocide on its cruelest terms.*****

If you know me, and have had the misfortune to speak to me since the presidential election, then you would know what a deep funk and /or depression has overtaken me.  You could argue that a multitude of causes was the root for this funk...over a year of declines in the stock market, seasonal affect disorder or a slew of other misdiagnosis was my  ailment, my funk or depression if you will, was a symptom of same, not the election per se.  I would differ.  It was clearly associated with the election as the depression began the minute I awoke AFTER the election.

It is not that I have a thing against Obama.  If you read here often you know it is simply the aggressive push to socialist policies that scares the fucking shit out of me.  As I told a friend this weekend, if your are an American capitalist, and an entrepreneur, you are really sailing in uncharted waters now.  Never before in this country has there been more dis-incentive to be a capitalist or to try and turn your idea into your life, your livelihood and your future.

It is a great time, and an almost certainty that when he can Obama will be doing the other thing that scares the shit out of capitalists, raising our taxes.

How the fuck does this tie into that Holocaust movie playing?  It is simple and true.  I swear on the lives of my kids that this is true.  I went to see the movie with my wife and another couple. We wanted to see a comedy but EVERY movie was sold out but this one and I was not waiting till 9:50 to see a movie.  So we go.  It sucks(at least I thought so) but at the end, in the last 10 minutes of the movie, something fucking incredible happened to me.  I actually realized it was happening as it happened which made the whole event surreal.

During the movie, a Jewish kid and a German kid become friends against all odds.  (This is why the movie sucked because it was a simply implausible storyline).  That being said, at the end, the German kid, who's father was the commander of the concentration camp, sneaks INSIDE the camp and within 2 minutes is rounded up with the Jews, thrown into a gas chamber and KILLED!!!!   HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.  HAHAHAHAHAH.  HAHAHAHAHAHA.  HAHAHAHAHAHAH.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

(Is that not just fucking great????)

Now I swear again, on my kids that as this happens, as the father is screaming "Bruno" at the tops of his lungs, and his mother on the outside of the camp hears her husband yelling--and knows her son is dead and falls to the ground crying.......there is a long very quiet pause in the movie....and at this point I am filled with mother fucking glee that the commanders son just ate it too.  I cannot contain myself and yell out, during this awkward silence where you can only hear the movie viewers of all ages sobbing....."TASTE IT!!!"    

That is right commander, taste my mother fucking cock jam down your throat as you realize your son just ate it with the 200 other Jews.    I wanted to scream out HA-HA like Nelson in the Simpsons, but Taste it just came flying out.

So I sat there, for the final minute of the movie, realizing that I felt better emotionally after seeing that than I have in fucking weeks!!!!!!

We went to dinner afterwards, where I could not help but smile all through dinner.  That and comment that it was the best Holocaust movie I have ever seen.

Think I am fucked up?  You REALLY need to get to know me.
