Some days I wish I was Bukowski.

Some days I wish I was Gaiman.

Most days, I’m happy to be me. :)

I guess I really have been AFK.

I’m 480 entries back in my friends’ list, and that’s just until I recognize a post or two.

I’ve posted about three times this month.

Okay, no more internet hermitage for me. *rubs hands* Here’s a horoscope!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): More than 240,000 people died in the earthquake that struck Tangshan, China in 1976. The relief effort was negligible compared to the help that has arrived in response to the tsunami disaster of a few weeks ago. One explanation for the difference is that there has been a dramatic globalization of consciousness. People currently living on the planet are increasingly aware of how intimately interdependent we all are. Thirty years ago no one had heard of the butterfly effect–the theory that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Japan can affect the weather in Texas. Now millions understand the principle. Your assignment in the coming week, Taurus, is to pursue this line of thought further than you ever have. In what way do events happening elsewhere in the world impact your personal life? What would it mean for you to take seriously the slogan, “Think globally, act locally?” P.S. It might be time to start reading newspapers from outside of your country.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Danny Cox is an “accelerationist,” according to the promotional blurb on his website. His talent is to induce “faster movement, higher efficiency, and increased productivity.” I call on you to be a different kind of accelerationist in the coming week, Taurus: one who inspires visions of the big picture, purges pettiness from all interactions, and agitates on behalf of the highest possible ideals. If that leads to faster movement, higher efficiency, and increased production, fine. If it doesn’t, equally fine. Your assignment is to be a soul accelerationist, not an ego accelerationist.

is my hero.

What a retardedly amazing idea. I’m rooting for her, all the way! :)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): All of us have a dark side–a part of our psyches that is unripe, a bit crazed, and out of sync with our highest values. If you try to suppress it or deny its existence, it controls you surreptitiously. If you acknowledge its presence and cultivate a relationship with it, you may be able to harness some of its raw power for good causes. You’ve got to love it without overindulging it; give it voice without allowing it to possess you. I mention all of this, Taurus, because 2005 should be the year you dramatically upgrade and refine the role that your dark side plays in your life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’ll send many suggestions your way in the coming months, Taurus. Some of them will ring true to you, and others may not. Some will be evocative clues you’ll meditate on for days, while others may fade from your awareness right after you read them. Through it all, there will be two constants. First, every horoscope will be offered to you in a spirit of love. Second, you will always be free to take it or leave it. And now I present what I consider the most important advice for you to keep in mind throughout 2005, though only you can decide if it actually is: Consistently cut away the smaller, weaker buds in order to direct all the forces of growth into the few buds most likely to succeed.
