I wish I could be as good to myself as I am to my friends.

Cancer:

You are confident about who you are and what you are feeling today, but this doesn't make it any easier to tell others what you want. You aren't interested in showing your vulnerability because of the energy it would then take to protect yourself. You may have less to defend than you realize, especially if you are amongst friends. Being appropriate is crucial; there's no need to say too much in public, yet don't put up unnecessary walls with those you trust.

not much one for horoscopes, but...

there's this one site where the horoscopes have a different feel to them, way more prophetic than "one size fits all" ...if you can even put those two labels in the same category, I don't know. But here's mine for today:

Cancer:

Although you are quite familiar with your emotional attachments, they could pull you in a slightly different direction today. You may realize that your hypersensitivity is a mixed blessing, for you cannot avoid feeling someone's discomfort with your affection. When you understand that this is not about rejection, you may be able to grant him or her the necessary freedom for a new kind of love to blossom. ~from grab.com

Maybe I do believe in horoscopes. Either way, this one tends to suggest something I have been thinking about for a while, about how the best medicine is usually so foul to us. Or how, seemingly unregulated and chaotic traffic patterns tend to work better than overly orderly ones. Like this:

Starting over

Something weird about a blog going dormant but still existing, floating rubbish in cyberspace. But just like rubbish on the side of the road, I don't like to think that I'm creating dead links out here. I remember when the "no littering" campaign was big in the 80's. I had a friend who fundamentally rejected the idea of "no littering" and would just litter whenever! Later on in my life, another friend brought this up and thinking about it now, maybe there was a punk group that advanced littering as keeping our trash in mind rather than pushing it away and pretending it was gone forever. I missed that punk group, whoever they were. If anyone has any clues, let me know. Regardless, my first littering friend is now a crack-head, which if nothing else, proves that her advice is probably not the best.

Anyway, this blog started out as a class project, but has come to a natural end. I've done some weeding, and if you were once on this blog and want to continue contributing to it, please let me know, I will be happy to add you again. I just started adding some other stuff and didn't want it to misrepresent anyone who might not agree with what I added.
