An Open Letter to the Little Girl who No Longer Believes in Unicorns

  • May 14, 2012 12:02 am

Dear Little Girl:

What I saw happen to you this weekend was a travesty that broke my heart so I feel that I have to write about it in the hopes that you will read this and not give up on your dreams. And that you’ll continue believing that magic does exist in the world.

You see, I was at the same Mother’s Day gathering as you and I overheard what that grown-up woman said to you about unicorns. She told you that unicorns do not exist and that if you wanted to be a big girl, you must stop believing in them. I saw the expression on your face when this woman said that. I saw your look of disappointment. Your look of sadness. That all-too-familiar look of the innocence of youth being crushed like an aluminum can at the recycling center. I don’t know if the woman who told you this was your mom or a friend or a crazy homeless woman who had randomly wandered off the street, but whoever she was—she’s a lying whore!

Because I am here to tell you that unicorns are real. They are as real as the sun up in the sky. As real as the breasts hair $2000 Louis Vitton purse on the woman walking by my table at this very moment. As real as this bottle of Jack Daniels I’ve almost killed off while writing the previous sentence. And how do I know this?

This weekend I got my ass kicked…by me.  OK, it wasn’t really me that kicked my ass but a scrawny, little asian fucker kid who exhibited a rather uncanny resemblance to me as a high school student.  This mini me was about 5’3″ tall, skinny as a broom pole (he weighed 105 pounds, tops), tan as a piece of beef jerky, and had super cool hair (kind of like Justin Bieber’s but black).  Yes that was me in high school.  And for some twisted reason, God, karma, or Cyberdyne Systems planned for me to duel my doppelgänger to the near death.  He as the ass kicker.  The real me, as the ass kicked.  It would not be pretty to say the least…

Michelle Kwan Island – a Greek Tragedy of Opportunity…

Greece is screwed.  The home country of Mt. Olympus is bankrupt and no spell conjured up by any naked God from atop the Acropolis will be able to save it.  Normally, when a country cannot pay off it’s debts, the government can quietly print up a whole bunch of new money via a printing press (ie. out of thin air) to get the creditor pimps off their backs (that’s what the United States does).  How cool would it be if we all had our own little, secret printing presses hidden in our closets?  Credit card bills too high?  Just print until you’re in the black.  Want that $1.5 million dream house but you got no coin?  Just run off 15,000 one hundred dollar bills.  Got a Korean girlfriend?  No problem at all!  Just give her a mini printing press hidden inside a LV or Prada bag and 98% of all your future fights will instantly disappear.  Unfortunately for Greece, the nation cannot print it’s way out of their financial mess like the United States because Greece’s currency, the Euro, is tied to 22 other European nations.  Basically Greece doesn’t have the keys to the printing press and today, finds itself in a financial checkmate to it’s world creditors.  Zeus is dying.  No, actually, Zeus is dead but is being kept alive via an IV, life support, and Wheel Of Fortune reruns.  Greece is pretty much laying in the coffin, just one nail short of stepping into it’s own mythology.  What is this great Hellenic nation to do?  Athena has an idea…
