The Truth About Cats and Dogs in Black and White

Truth is just one person's reality. Here is mine in black and white (maybe some shades of gray). This blog has little to do with Cats or Dogs - just humourous sarcastic antics about my life or occasionally, someone else's. You know, intercepting volleyballs with my face, egg dropping, etc. The truth has seen some changes and in fluidity with change expect to see more artistic expressions posting up - so give your two cents worth!

Gong Xi Fa Cai


You don't post for a couple days and people start throwing stuff around getting all rowdy and nonsense. Just Kidding. Well it is a special day, I'm sure Google already enlightened you all. Happy Lunar New Year! It's really no secret that I am a bit more in tune with cycles of the moon than the sun... for multiple reasons. Being a Fire Dragon, I am not very compatible with Dogs, at least the lunar astrological kind, which doesn't necessarily project a stellar year for me. You may find one of many projections at this site:

Chinese Astrology

Here is a subjective cut/paste selection of what I have to look forward to (I went back and highlighted the parts I found most, well, interesting or amusing):
  • OVERVIEW: You'll devote much of your time and energy to the task of bringing to a successful conclusion the projects that you have your heart set on, but some unexpected obstacles will slow down their progress and put your patience to the rough test. Also, you'll often be set against yourself, for you will have too much ambition and will forgive yourself no weakness or shortcoming. Try to be less tense and you'll be promptly rewarded, as this year the stars will greatly favor patience and tenacity. Casual encounters may very well end up as profound friendships. These relationships will prove most interesting to you since, apart from their sentimental aspect, a common intellectual research will give your exchanges a non-conventional character that will delight you. Remember that 'friendship doubles joys and reduces sorrows by half' (Francis Bacon).
  • FIRE DRAGON: Savor pleasure fully as it comes along, however transitory it may be: That's the philosophic stance you will adopt this time, and you'll be determined to enforce it in all fields. In love, particularly, you'll show no desire to ask yourself unnecessary questions.
  • LOVE: First quarter - Your love affairs will tend toward stability; but this won't prevent you from living a more intense sentimental life... As for single people, a change may prove very favorable and based on a stable and serious union. Second quarter - The love affairs that you may have will be passionate, zealous and clearly nonconformist; but they do not seem made to last. Third quarter - The star Hoa Khoa will station himself in a sign in harmony with yours. This way the goddess of love will awaken your sensuality and greatly increase your power to charm. This period will prove particularly favorable if you're single; a very important encounter is possible and even probable. Fourth quarter - planet Long Duc will bring you luck in all areas of life. But it's your love affairs that will first profit by the good influxes... Above all it's single natives of the sign who'll profit by this celestial influence that promises them a first-rate encounter. Singles: Open your eyes; amorous happiness could befall you in quite a casual way!
  • CAREER: First quarter - Numerous planets will favor your professional expansion. The stars Thien Dong and Nguyet Duc will awaken your ambition. The stars Pha Quan and Long Duc will give you the support of chance. And the star Thien Viet will incite you to see your ideas and projects through... even though nothing important is happening right now, remain confident that everything is evolving in your favor. Second quarter - The star An Quang in beautiful aspect will persuade you to devote much more attention to your career and professional projects than before. This astral movement will allow you to exploit all your potential to its best and will grant you the support of exceptional chance. Those of you who want to reorient themselves or to carry out a more independent and more creative activity should take the plunge; you'll have every chance to succeed. Third quarter - The star Thien Khong will awaken your desire to organize your professional life as you please and to reach your dearest personal goals. On the other side, the planet of chance and success, Long Duc, will help you avoid all possible pitfalls. Fourth quarter - There'll be in your career a turning point that you expect and fear at the same time. This time, thanks to the benevolent presence of Dao Hoa, the changes imposed by Van Xuong will be carried out smoothly. The support from a friend should smooth the progress of your new direction.

Doesn't sound too bad? Slightly thwarted by the "unexpected obstacles" Nice doggie...

Comments...

Not too bad at all. I liked the part where your "goddess of love will awaken".

Now I must look at mine.
