I'm Cranked Out....

It's taken all my Excaliburs not to "take the gas pipe" (name that Woody Allen movie!).

I would say, "I'm glad I'm not the only one." But I'm not. It's awful when bad things (even moods) happen to good people.

I can't remember if you like Rufus or not, but here:

"As In Happy"

Wish I could be more less, wish I could be less more
Underneath the dress is a gun pointing at the floor
Wish I could be less me, and a little more like you
I'd finally confess to all the things you make me do

Oh, I've been saying all I can today,
And nothing seems to make me gay

Maybe the critic was right and my work is just therapy,
Or maybe she was wrong and on the rag feeling slightly icky
Maybe I would rather just be on speed,
Or perhaps it would help if I had the right to get my sad-ass married

Oh, I've been saying all I can today,
And nothing seems to make me gay (as in happy!)

I probably should've attempted to be more helpful than that.

Everybody's an @$$hole at times, even the people you listed as Ledgies you love/admire. It's hard to see the good in people, but it's there, even though most of them rarely act like it. And unfortunately, people's actions are what you have to deal with on a daily basis, not their potential.

The world is a crappy place right now, and I don't have much hope that things will turn around. On top of that, I've been having some personal difficulties that have been stressing me out. And in spite of all that, I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I think you have to find something to carry you through all of life's ups and downs, something bigger than the ups and downs.

As for the rest of it, yeah I think there has been something cosmicly (?) wrong with this year. But questioning ain't bad. It's good to reassess things every now and then.

Just remember everyone's on their own trip and how someone else acts has very little to do with you and a hell of a lot more to do with him/her.

Don't bother with "compassion and love for humanity." Holy crap, that sounds like a lot of work and you're right a lot of them don't deserve it. Save your love and compassion for those who have earned it...at least until you build up your reserves. I'm not saying to buy a shotgun and start taking out people at your local convienience store, but don't put yourself out if you're just gonna resent it in the end.

Tired of being cynical? Can't help you on that. I think cynicism is healthy. Why are you tired of it? Again, nothing wrong with questioning motives or intentions.

Don't over think it, and don't convince yourself that if you were just a little less yourself things would be better. Maybe you're just a funky guy. I like funky guys...damn well prefer funky guys. I'm pretty funky myself. For god's sake don't go trying to be some happy sappy pollyanna...thing.

Sounds to me like you just need to reel it in a little. It's OK to pull down the shades and barricade yourself in every now and then. Put "That's All For Everyone" on repest.

Is this making any sense? Told you I was a little funky.

Don't let the buggers get you down.

The only thing I know about Virgo is that all of the prominent men in my life have been one. And I'm just in love with being in love.

How could we be so opposite yet so alike? I'm very weak in the fire signs which you've got an awful lot of and Saturn is my ruling planet. Interesting.

wow towie...I have only read your initial post. I must say that your post is superb. I found it to be very thoughtful and heartfelt. With regard to "me," towie, you are very special to me and I can not imagine my world without "me." Honestly. Off to read the other posts...and for goodness sake PM me what the additional letters are! Is isn't, by chance, Loves Silly Lindsey Dying For Lindsey Dying?

I forgot you had rising aquarius too. I remember we had a discussion about why your Saturn is in fall b/c I had a different perspective of your Saturn. You totally said a bunch of cool stuff I hadn't thought of before. I forget where your Saturn is now. Then I think we had a short pissing contest about who's Saturn + aspects were worse.

I've heard there's more of us out there...but we keep arguing so we don't form a club.

Wow, I didn't think about the Saturn Neptune opposition, and it isn't over for awhile.
Chris, I had some nice hopes for the coming month - Jupiter finally went into Sag, and a bunch of other things do throughout the month. Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter will be making a triple conjunction in Sag. from Dec. 9-11. Luckily, I already have plans to go out.
I guess I feel like for this cycle, the worst is over, so the next month will be good and especially b/c of the Sag conglomeration. I have Moon, Neptune, and Midheaven all together in Sag., maybe I am biased...I guess more accurately, the moon and neptune are conjunct in Sag. in the 9th house, and the midheaven there is just the midheaven. Whatever, nevermind.

I just checked Stariq.com, though, and they aren't forcasting the rosy month I had anticipated. But they are taking a more collective view.
Meh. What is your moon, Chris, I forgot? You're weak in the Fire signs? That isn't so bad. I am Earth weak. Or rather, Earth non existent.

pbbbbblllllltttt.

I'm just going to hope for the best, although the strong presence of Jupiter is reassuring. I am feeling more creative and inspired than I have been for a long time. Sagittarius is my midheaven as well and yes, I am weak in fire. The only fire signs on my chart are Aries in Jupiter and the aforementioned Sagittarius. My moon and my ascendant are both Pisces. Oy.

when in a space of 7 months I lost both Grandfather's & my Father (I was a 7 yr. old kid, and I learned at that age that life abso-tively f**king blows goat parts)

But 2005 proved worse than 1977 ever could be, Losing my Mother has/will/forever be harder than any other death in my family.

This year hasnt been as bad...Hopefully 2007 will be better for everyone.



Btw, Deb's a Leo and I'm a Taurus...We get along fine, thank you!
