Something I just have to get off my chest.

What the Stars are Saying

I had stopped reading my daily horoscope because it was really, really frustrating me. For some reason, I am unable to dismiss that hokey shit as hokey shit. But, my attention has been drawn to horoscopes once again.

Quickie:
First you let go. Now you're enjoying the ride. This is one way to find the answers.


Uh, yeah, armed with that little tidbit, I've now found a large pile of answers. Good stuff there. Jeez.


Overview:
If it's not beautiful, glamorous or sensually appealing, you won't want it -- and you certainly won't shell out one single hard-earned cent to have it. If you're shopping, be nice. Explain that to the sales associate in advance.


Yeah, state the obvious there. But am I really supposed to proactively announce to a sales associate that I don't want any crap? Should that not be obvious as well? It's like saying: "hey, you look like a real idiot, so let me go ahead and tell you that I don't anything crappy, so you'd better act accordingly." And how is that being nice?

So the quickie and the overview are useless, but not at all difficult or thought-consuming. But then the extended forecast rears its ugly head...

If you feel like standing out in a crowd, do it. Pay attention to that inner drill team instructor who is telling you to march to the beat of a different drummer. While you're doing that, remember to listen to what your partner really wants -- it could be very different from what you assume they are asking for. The more willing you are to hear someone and to make room for their needs, the more welcome your requests will be.


Why,it's easy and useless too! The horoscope writers have obviously taken the day off and left their helper-monkeys to take care of business.
