"VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your relationship with time seems to be one of
your biggest problems. There's never enough of it. You're always fighting
against the limitations it imposes. It frustrates you and even hurts you.
But let me ask you this: Can you imagine yourself cultivating a more
friendly and cunning relationship with time? Are you able to visualize the
prospect of you and time becoming more like allies than adversaries? How
would it feel to regard time as a loving taskmaster that compels you to
realize you can't do everything and must therefore focus on only your
brightest dreams and truest pleasures? This is a perfect moment,
astrologically speaking, for you to attempt this magic."

I so relate...
Basically I'm complicated
I have a hard time taking the easy way
I wouldn't call it schizophrenia
But I'll be at least 2 people today
If that's okay
And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?
It's deep how you can be so shallow
And I'm afraid cause I have no fear
And I didn't believe in magic
Until I watched you disappear
I wish you were here
And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?
You see, everybody is somebody
But nobody wants to be themselves
and If I ever wanted to understand me
I'll have to talk to someone else
Cause every little bit helps
And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

Jesus viewed my friendster profile
touch is such a blessing. it really only hit home this weekend (i'm late to the party again, perhaps). another's physical presence can be such a comfort, yet i only realized it in its absence. i swear to myself that next time...NEXT time...i will be aware; i will appreciate; i will wallow in the experience of touching and being touched.

Reach out and touch someone....else
"Scholars have found that Americans, conquerors of the wild frontier, generally prefer more personal space than people in Mediterranean and Latin American cultures, and more than men in Arab countries.
“In the U.S., it’s very closely linked to ideals of individuals,” said Kathryn Sorrells, an associate professor of communication studies at California State University, Northridge, who is writing a book, “Globalizing Intercultural Communications.” “There’s an idea that you have the right to this space,” she said, noting that it was born of a culture that prizes independence, privacy and capitalism.
Dr. Archer tells of a Brazilian man he interviewed who, when speaking to the American waiters with whom he worked, used to casually touch them for emphasis. The man’s overtures of friendship toward his co-workers were always rejected and he wanted to know why. So when business was slow he observed how the Americans interacted. And eventually he arrived at this conclusion: Americans hate to be touched."

Political Activism I Can Get Behind
Speaking of voting, I'd like to call a vote to require more visually "compelling" political protests in the future. Prime example:
