Something Happened.

9.22 AM (Moscow Mean Time)

9.jan.99

The fact is, however, that although the setting and the

characters of this drama are imaginary but was taken from life,

one of the two persons concerned being very well known to me.

/J.B. Priestley. Four Plays./

I know today is one of the most important days in my life.

I will try to answer why it happened.

I feel weird. I feel time is stopped. What is happened? Did you any time be ahead of time? (Why I wrote time is stopped? I wanted to write simply "stopped." May it's the sign that Somebody stopped time?)

Every man has his story. Now I know my story.

So, a couple days ago I sad to myself "I know everything" I'll know nothing new till my death.

A few months ago I stopped to shave and hair cut ultimate. I have no particular reason. Some people sad to me change yourself, for example go to the barber. I felt I wasn't able to do this.

And on Xmass I had to go to the city. I already told you (see …dec.98) about this. Before this I sat at home and was OK. So what for was it? I became to think about romance and other drivel, what for?

The next step was. A had caught severe cold. I never had such cold after I was 4-5 years old and had one throat decease. (Remember this)

So last few weeks I desperately ill. Even in chat I wrote nick as ColdHeels Ill.

So I feel weird and some people in the net already sad this to me.

Can you imagine I sleep no more than 3-4 hour in the day?

When I had a mustard plaster I could bear its heat indefinitely.

I had my nose desperately bleeding. I don't know how much blood was left.

Interesting coincidence I have got opportunity to use Internet at free. (Now I think I would pay any money. Don't think that there is "affection of novice" to the net. I was there about Year and NOTHING HAPPENED).

So I plunged into Internet. I was surfing. You know it is pure accidental thing. I even don't know what I was seeking.

But my general intention was definite at first. I want to make Diary of Nobody.

Why? Because everyone has habits. I had a habit to talk everything private to my old acquaintance. I wrote about this on my main page a week ago. Now I am using in the same way whole Internet.

You understand that old acquaintance is no definition. It is the girl. She is 28 1/2 years old. (I didn't want to tell anything, but God knows….) I don't know how to call her fiend? She prefers the word "girl-friend". But I think it's not suit the situation. For example we even never kissed in the last year. The truth is a saw her almost 4 times in that year and it was always in public. I like to remember that many years ago we were at the family party of her girlfriend and she introduce me as her BEST friend. If it was truth I don't know the best name can be given to me anywhere.

I didn't want to tell about her. Because I thought it would be unfair to her. She had her own life and I have no right to mess it up. (But I messed it already stiff).

And the second reason is the story of our acquaintance is the story of indefinite unbelievable coincidences from the start to today. It'll take too much time. Imagine we met everyday and almost every day was a new coincidence. I am afraid even to begin.

For example I saw dreams about future (doom) of her relatives, she saw clairvoyant dreams about me. If I presented her book this book had connection with her life and I don't know about it. If I was on the different occasions near her job we almost every time accidental meet each other even in no appropriate time. Imagine, during working day in the tumult of city in the street or anywhere. There were another cases even more amazing but I have no right to tell about it.

So we have close mental connection but it was generally in spiritual. She had (and still has a charm). And she can keep me as on the leash. She tried to cast me off and it would be easy. I didn't know (and don't know by know) where she lives. I don't know even her home phone number. But some years we don't part.

If you read my story about 2.sent.98 you know. I met girls without which I can live easily although they were perfect.

With that girl I failed to part although we have too many different points. In fact we have different lives in the different worlds.

When I saw her fist time I know if I miss her and not to try to make acquaintance I would never forgive myself in my whole lifetime. And I have proofs she had important feeling too.

So SOMETHING HAPPENED. I became older at on or two days as Somebody append me 10 years. I wrote about my wrinkle under eye. It reminds me a leper. I feared not much about this particular wrinkle but that it appeared to me in one day and probably will be with me to the grave.

I sad that to dally I must respect myself and after THIS I lost this respect to one half. (About another I wrote earlier). So I lost confidence in my exterior and interior powers.

Damn it my pills are ended! Have you ever a pneumonia? Funny business I went to general practitioner and sad: "Doctor, I coughs terribly, I can't sleep almost 3 nights". And do you know what she sad? She sad: "Go to the chemist's shop and buy something against cough." Funny, isn't it? And now I even can't cough, (but I want to cough badly).

I don't want to talk turkish but I try to summarize a little bit.

  1. In my childhood I nearly dead 4 times because of strong decease.
  2. My "Girl-friend" had a very difficult, (I don't know how to say. Let it be "difficult"), life with different accidents and what not. I guess she was with a latch-key always.
  3. I have a serious trouble by now.
 Sorry, it's only one half part. I continue. So when we met I felt miserable. It is awful. We always were perfect dalliance pair. Naturally She made mind to breach with me this fall. I continued made her calls but I was sure. She wouldn't meet me in the Xmass. But it HAPPEND even more. I failed even to make congratulations with New Year and Xmass. So we don't talk a few month by now.

May I tell you allegory? Imagine, you are on the big ship, (may be Titanic). And it is drowned. ONE man had a boat. You still are on the board. You take a fancy that it would be bad to use those Boat. Nobody knows why. The ship is at the end. You are in the COLD water. You feel you want to live. (Nobody knows why) And suddenly you see another boat. You know your health and lungs will never be the same. But you are making terrific attempts to reach another boat. And suddenly you realized. It's the boat such as had ONE man. You now it must be another. But you feel it is the exact copy of those one. You don't discern a man's face yet but you know he is as a twin.

You feel unreal. You fill weird. And it's not the dejavu. It is simple your mind messed coil in the time.

Mind you everything what was told. And prepare. If read perfunctory, reread it. Else you understand nothing.

Now I'll tell you another part of story. As you know I was surfing in the net without particular reason. And than, I suddenly stopped. I anchoring. And there was one man who stopped me. I don't know how IT HAPPENED. I did know nothing about him.

And it was my first attempt. I'm always lucky with my FIRST attempt. I haven't read one line from his page. I didn't try to know nothing. By I've got acceptance. After that I failed in it many times, they simply …. me of. And it was as I grasp mere coincidence.

But do you explain me why I sad to a man about whom I don't know nothing with whom we even talk no one time: "I like you" ??? (Mark you I don't mean any sexual meaning, just about mentality, you see.)

I don't say "love" because my old acquaintance used to say: "When I with you I feel at ease and get pleasure". No lust, no passion, no even love. By the way I know I was no single person who felt such to her (my old acquaintance).

Rummy, but the same words I can repeat to this "new" (very bad world) man in the Internet. Of course I say about kind of feeling, not deepness of it. (Am I callous?)

But I'm too sincere man. That is why she sad it would be too difficult to me to survive. And she didn't want to share all these difficulties. (Gosh, what a snivel from my part.)

So the point is that I felt SOMETHING beforehand. If you think I deducted something from something, you are wrong. I already sad I didn't know nothing.

Do you want to know what I have knew by now?

Ok. It was HAPPENED a few hours ago. (Mark you!)

But I must explain some facts about my old acquaintance. Sorry for being a little bit of psychotherapeutic. But there are such people called as Nights of Sorrow Image. There will never be happy with woman. Because they are not ….. (Sorry, every man likes to boast and lament and the same time.) I only can say that more 4 different people in different places and times called me such name.

The cinch is I have seen that she, (by now I'm talking about my former girlfriend), is needed me, needed me really even don't realizing this.

You ask me. So many people needed another people, so what?

I answer. Such people as Nights of Sorrow Image, (no irony please), don't want anything in return. For example, do you now what her question was when we could talk "one to one" on the Subway Station? She asked what I thought should she return to her husband or to take divorce. Naturally I answer: "Try to keep your family" (Damn me! What I was a chump!)

The most UNCANNY thing is how we can discern other people destinies? The distance and time don't matter at all.

Only afterwards she told me HER STORY. Every man has his story. Her story was (is) one of the most grasping and one of the most dramatic. Mark you I don't exaggerate! You think so you are sucker who don't know about life nothing at all.

So I have seen in her individuality, which come through many ordeals and remained kind heart. If you think it is a trite you are in serious mistake. Many people wrench their hearts even in safe circumstances.

Funny! Now is 12.10 AM and sun, which I didn't see more than two weeks come through curtains and dazes me.

If you forgot what it is all about I remind you.

UCANNY things exist in the world. And such thing is told by me atheist who don't believe in anything even when he sees it.

"What's up doc?" You can ask me. So I can even kid a little bit by know. Bolt is nearly shot.

And now I am ready to tell about this trifle incident, happened to me this morning.

So I was surfing this morning (a few hours later). But then I SUDDENLY wanted to go to page of this man. I don't now why. There were serious technical glitches. I wasted about hour. I couldn't reach those page.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I found the other way to express my feelings. (I even don't know what this feelings were.)

Sorry for one more deviation, but do you know what kind of book I presented (without any particular reason), to my old acquaintance? It was J.B. Priestley!!! Have you read anything of his? You have to do this. But if you life is ONE BIG platitude, of course, you don't need him.

UNCANNY thing happened RIGHT NOW.

I was wandered how to explain what is the snag is! And I FIND it.

Please lets return in my story for two days ago. I was surfing and I saw page with the title "Skeletons in the cupboard", I e-mail its owner about meaning of this title but it happened, that guestbook and e-mail were out of service. You may laugh: "Page-Ghost, He-He." May be. May be. It doesn't matter as stand alone fact but you mind all circumstances about which I wrote now you don't say such thing. So I forgot about this "trifle" fact and remembered only in last 10 minutes.

So by know I feel myself free from further explanations on this topic.

(I wonder it would be too bad. The perfunctory reader can't catch no head, no tail about all this. And other man can say I have no right disturb private life of others)

I'm really sorry that I involving in others lives and in the most inmost their parts. I'm really sorry. But it concerns me in the same way. (Please, try to read some of novels J.B. Priestley).

So there is left to tell a little.

Prepared?

So I contacted the man, (at least he must get this). It's true that during this procedure my computer rebooted and even some clusters were lost. But returning to the mutton:

I wrote that I missed him, (or her don't forget about this! I mean "a man" as only a person, as a human being).

And wrote I DON'T KNOW WHY I missed him.

- It's the point of whole story. Now I KNOW WHY, but I don't know how I was able know about that earlier!

Before this I took a look at the photos. Connection was very bad. I look at the photo, and understood that my inmost voice about inner beauty of this man was right by that time.

So I sad in the letter that I saw photography and I have a WISH to talk. Mind you the photo was no reason to talk. We all saw many unordinary people. By that time I STILL DIDN'T KNOW the real kind of photo about which I will care. After that I come to page once more and found another photo. And I don't now what there is on those photo. It was enough to me look only on the inscription.

It was a shock to me. This moment condensed in itself too much for me. It was a revelation moment.

But I didn't know what I revealed.

You wonder: Am I a nut? I answer: "No" And I have proofs. The similar situation was in the winter two years ago. By that time I wrote my philosophic book, (sorry, in Russian). But it also contained very explicit materials about my life and I also made publicity. (At least gave it to those people, who encountered there). By the way I was ill by that time too. But those illness was more "useful" to me. I lost about 16kg. My weight was 82 kg and became 66. Before this illness I was as Arny after that I became as Bruce. (Mind you my manner may be funny and mocking but I always deadly serious).

Where did I feel that this Uncanny business is going to be?

….

Hurrah! Now is the 22.52 (Moscow Time) 9.jan.99. I slept well! It was because I had to change my pills. Why did I not this before? Only now my mother talked with our family practitioner. She (doctor) sad I am all right. It was edema, which can be easily fixed. So there is no danger of pneumonia to me anymore. And I fell better.

So, I'll continue:

About one month ago I was in the Russian chat and boasted to girls about my knowledge of Wodehouse and what not. And suddenly I received a message: "Don't say about Wodehouse in vain. "I answer what do you know about Wodehouse at all?" He sad: "I have read him all partly in English partly in Italy and partly in Russian" I answer: "How about Jerom?" He sad: "Yes." And then I tried other authors. It seems he knew them all. I was outscored ultimate. Before this I guessed there are very a few people which read something profound or have a good musing. I envied him. By the way he is a 31 years old. (Now when I say he I mean he although his nick was as girlish). By the way do you know I have a longing to make a page dedicated to Wodehouse? And what a coincidence, I published it only today.
 
 

I want to say that I nothing with pity or compassion. I am really very callous guy. Do you know what matter was with Sherlock Holmes? He was aesthete. Strong people like power and like to force other people they like to be winners. Good and kind people like other people but their feeling based on compassion and other Christian deeds. Maximalists like everything to the limit they are greedy people. It's the general error to mess maximalists and aesthetes. But if maximalists have motto: Everything or nothing, then aesthetes have motto: Good or no way. By the way aesthetes like beauty. I guess only aesthetes are really interested in people. So it was sad to make to your clear. I never humiliate any people. Pity humiliates. So I never feel compassion to anybody. Mark you I say in philosophical way, you don't need to be afraid of me. But my whole life is a little bit too philosophical sometimes. It helps me come trough such crucial points. I guess for such points may be a wreck or bankrupt or to be getting the sack. I guess it disturbed me a little. In some cases I feel nothing. Is it not funny?

I guess you need a conclusion.

You can say: "Be yourself, be ordinary guy". But its are different things. You may say we all feel yourselves a unique creatures. But did other people often say to you that you are quaint? (I don't like word "weird" it frightens me I always like more "quaint"). I tell you one more story. Year ago I have got fixed up in a job. It was one of the swellest companies. For example, in the company there were only 100 people but our computer system cost more than a million bucks. We had one of the swellest palaces as an office. Many people including American financiers were really shocked by those luxuriance. For example we had (stole from bosses) personal videophones and used them in our department only for fun. So it was a party for company. Everybody was happy. They really rolled in the stuff and hoped for more. I was sitting near other fellows. And one of them sad: "Why are you mocking at us? Why are you mocking and grinning even to the boss? What's matter?" I answered: "I really don't mean this, I only smiling because I have good time at this party." But it was not true. I really didn't know why but I was mocking. I didn't know why. I didn't know that after half year it would go to the nil. I didn't know that we would have to sit on the job in those swelling palace without electricity. Imagine all through two weeks without electricity in the office. It was dreary. It was magic. We had long, long lobbies and walked through them with candles! Yes! We had few RAID servers and walked with candles and stroke against each other in the lobbies. And then we lost ours salaries. And then we lost ours jobs. Was I upset? Not at all! I only WONDER why I mocked to the boss year ago. I even think he was afraid of me.

If you think I'm crazy, look in the SOMETHING HAPPENED by J.Heller. It is one more I don't like this book. It contains some clever thoughts but so what? I don't like this book either. I can't finish to read it. It takes too much time. I could read 5 other books already instead of this book. And one more about INTERCONNECTIONS. J.B. Priestley wrote:

One more example. Do you know why I chose to read J.Heller? Those man who have read all Wodehouse advised me to read Heller's books. So is it no a little bit of coincidence? And I failed to find cacth22 and took Something Happened. Usually I don't take such voluble books. Usually I cancel reading boring books. And it book was voluble and stiff boring. Why didn't I throw it away?

Recently, (yesterday), I have got a letter and there were words "What for?"

And I wonder all through my life, (and you can see about this my musing on my front page), that

I belong to the last category.

SO WHAT ????


 
 

PS: now is 1.41 AM 10.jan.99 Do you know what I'm doing now? I am standing on the stool. WHAT FOR? I don't know. WHY? Because I simply want to stand on the stool. But I still don't know WHY I wanted do this thing.

 Now when I feel much better you can Return to the normal life

10.jan.99 Now, I recovered my temper. I don't want to public this story strongly. I feel no connection with anything written above. I'm absolutely quiet. When I began to write those lines I didn't want to read anything. Now I'm going to read. (May be there is a switch: "Extrovert/Introvert". and choleric subjects have more frequent switches from time to time.)

………to be continued.

9.jan.99 Tricky business one more. Look to the points.

0) You now about "Wodehouse business" already -> 1) I make Wodehouse's Quotes Page and want to ring it. -> 2) I receive highly offensive letter from one guy with a strange name concerning this matter. -> 3) I began to surf on this topic in the net. -> 4) I didn't find anythig -> 5) I walked through my neighbors -> 6) I by accident stroke against Quotes Page. -> 7) I haven't read any of them and decided to sign the guestbook to lament about those guy. -> 8) I suddenly found AMAZING quotation in those guestbook. It's read: "Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer." It was without mention about Author. I looked at the name and saw "Irina". Do you know it's Russian name? I wanted to look her page but she hadn't her page, (strange?). -> 9) So I copied the quotation and e-mail to my file. -> 10) After that I looked at my mail box just to write her a message about authorship of this quotation. -> 11) But at first I have seen a message from the person about which I mentioned above. And just to read I copied contents of the letter in the open file. -> 12) So it occured that two different text parts chimed together. -> 13) And in those letter was written about guy with a name very similar to my own lout, (see N2), and his abusive conduct.

Conclusion: How many items did you count? Have I done this purposely, (for example including N0)? Do you see that all of them condensed in one file? Can you imagine I compared two names and found that they have difference only in two letters and that this difference is lost in their transcriptions?
 
 

I can propose only two materialistic conjecture: "Too close world" and "There are too many identical people with identical cases." It's up to you, to chose.
 
 

15.jan.99 15.18

I guessed it was over at last. Poor thing (me). Ask me, "Why did you call it "Something Happened"?". All that time this book was not read by me to the last page. Now I have read it all. I found key phrase "Something Happened" in this book. Now I KNOW when this phrase was sad. Do you think I was surprised to find out the truth? No. I feel fear but this fear has no connection to this case. Also, I feel that my Angel may turn back to me one day but I don't believe in it. I'm not Faust. This is no first accident with books I have. I'm already told you about "Skeleton in cupboard." Now I'll tell you about another books. A long time ago I have read book "Dog's Star Sirius" by Irzhi Marek. It was very pleasant "home" book about dogs. So when I was contemplating what to give to read to my old acquaintance I chose this book with easy heart. We have met about two weeks later. I asked, "How is the book? Funny, isn't it?" She answered, "I liked this book very mush, but it's VERY very sad book". I was wise guy and sad nothing but then I opened the last page and saw, she was right.

WHY is there purpose many times when I'm acting UNPURPOSLY???

I ……. GORBLIME!!!!!

I Called HER right now!!! (15.jan.99 15.50). She sad She saw me in her dreams two times last two weeks. She sad to me: "Happy New Year! I wish you creative successes in this year." I answered: "Everything, but creative successes. I had them enough by that that time."

(I made a date on the next Monday.) I am not a witch. So She is a definitely a witch. By the way She is not Russian. Do you know there are more than 150 native nationalities in Russia? I even don't understand her native language. I guess there are witches just in such kind nationalities. Now I feel nothing, nothing of fears, except blunt steady pain the spine. Of course I feel relief. I'M myself Again.

Now lets return to our muttons. I have never read "Martin Iden" by Jack London. It happened I occasionally opened these books on the last few pages. I had had a fat lot of Martin to me. I like Jack London I like his Snark and other short stories. But after this book I changed my mind about Jack. I know we would respect each other but we have polar positions. I knew He would have great time but his end would be terrible. Do I hope for another destiny?
 
 

19.jan.99

It was sad by me. It will be sad in the future. Just coincidences, you know, there are just coincidences. I talked to you about J.B. Priestley. I talked about him yesterday, when I have a date with her. The exact time when we have met Play of J.B. Priestley "Dangerous Corner" just began on TV-channel. And another one, please. One time I pulled out of bunch of money 100 bank notes exactly. It was a good sport we had in the Institute, (besides chess). But returning to the yesterday. Of course I made to her paper copy of my (these) proceedings. I pulled out of paper bunch another bunch, smaller, to print it. I picked it by eye. And amount of paper exactly coincided with needed. One can get accustomed to everything. I'm accustomed to things just like this. Proviso, these things connected only with one person, so you see, it is not only my fault.

about 19.jan.00

We watched The Appartments and right this week the movie was shown on TV!

29.March.00
I walked to talk about job and they had, and office in one place and one office on the other side of city.
Then I called to my OA and told her about it, and it happened that she lived right opposite to the main office and she works now in few meters from other branch office.

(a little bit earlier:)
For example when we drove by one street I said: “Look here in that building. I worked there some time ago”, and she said: “Why but I lived there when I was a mere child!”
Funny, isn’t it?
