My life partner Samantha and I were swimming the other day when Samantha noticed this woman whom she felt was strikingly attractive underneath the mask and glasses she was wearing. I told her given what I could see of the woman I would definitely wait until she removed both before commenting. From where I stood, I wasn’t seeing what she was seeing, mask or no damn mask. There is some shit not even wearing a damn mask can help.
Liz is a 40-year-old Hispanic female. She is In These Rooms after receiving her 4th DWI. She is a Little Person but has two grown children and an ex-husband, neither of whom will have anything to do with her because of her drinking. She is currently out on bail as she’s facing time for her latest drinking rampage for which she’s also facing a 1st degree hit and run charge. Fortunately for her, the young boy she hit was crippled but will make it. Liz described wearing a mask as symbolic with our character defects. She said “…we need to unmask to see what’s left and that’s who we really are.
“…Speak for your damn self lady. I am more than anybody’s fucking character defect…”

“…I don’t get it Liz. You went from 4 DWI’s, facing time and a crippled child behind your shit to copping to a damn character defect. Really? Sister, you belong on the road with me. Your ass has a future in Stand-Up…”

I was in the bookstore the other day when I encountered my first proverbial ‘Karen’ (google the term if you don’t know what the hell a ‘Karen’ is). She came in the bookstore without a mask and got indignant when she was asked to put one on. Loud drama ensued when she refused. She took out her phone and began a profanity laced rant on one of the social media platforms as she walked through the store cursing and yelling “…this is Texas and this mask requirement bull shit is undemocratic and what motherfuckers do in communist countries. Yea, I’ll leave but I’m blowing your piss ass store up on social media…” With or without the mask as Liz said, what is left here ain’t too pretty. As my mother would say, “…beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone...” Mask notwithstanding.
Wes is a 37-year-old white male whose been trying to sober up for over 10 years. He is on probation for a DWI but has bigger problems. This is his second one, he drives for a living and one is grounds for immediate termination. He is also two years behind on child support for his three children for whom his wife is the custodial parent and he is facing a reckless endangerment charge with his last DWI because his 10-year-old son was in the back seat of the vehicle when the cops pulled him over. In These Rooms today, he was going on and on about how sick he’s been with Covid-19 but he’s better now and how good God is no matter what happens. This he said is “…the belief that has sustained him…” But while he’s sitting here pontificating about how good his God is for bringing him thru this deadly shit, he doesn’t have the damn decency to Wear a Mask even though his ass had COVID within the last 30 days.
“…One could conclude this behavior is indicative of the selfish nature of humanity and/or the selfish application of the teachings of this program…”
The Professor
Sorry Professor, but I believe this shit is indicative of people In These Rooms who would be in Hollywood if their asses could pass a damn screen test. If you ask me, not that anyone did, failure to admit that shit speaks to the deeper mask they’re wearing. Just saying.
