Busy MeMe

I haven’t posted for some time. I’ve been really busy and it seems my cup runneth over daily.
Here’s a quicky:

The heck with “The Secret.” Here is my Rob Brezny Free Will Astrology horoscope:

Pisces Horoscope for week of February 22, 2007
“Think dangerously!” read the headline on today’s bright yellow piece of junk mail. That sounded inviting. I’m always eager for help in overthrowing my certainties. But the product being promoted inside the envelope was just a piece of propaganda: a magazine touting Libertarian dogma. I threw it in my recycling bin along with all the other doctrinaire crap I constantly get from fundamentalists of every stripe, including rightwing religious nuts and leftwing atheists, New Age pollyannas and intellectual cynics, science-haters and science shills. Now here’s the climax of this horoscope, Pisces: *Really* think dangerously. Question *every* belief, your own as much as everyone else’s. French author AndrĂ© Gide said it best: “Trust those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.”

The ironic thing is that I *Really* have been. *Every* belief, word, sentence, eye contact has been under my scrutinous eye. I took one of those Thursday meme thingies today that supposedly measured how cynical I am. Supposedly, I am 28% cynical. I don’t believe it.

I had a meeting with a woman today and I swore I had the right answer regarding the item we were discussing. I didn’t. I’m going to have to write to her and concede the point. I don’t have a problem doing this but I have to wonder why I so totally thought I was right.

My Dogma ate my meme. I have no other excuse.

  1. My horoscope for the day says – “expect commensurate suffering!”

  2. Laochie: You know, Humorscope is actually the most accurate. Today mine says: “Twelve freshly cut rods (made from ash) will be found in a peculiar pattern on the lawn. Two large black crows will watch you solemnly from the top of a parked VW Microbus. The weather will turn colder, and the air, although clear, will seem grey. Don’t worry, though, it’s probably nothing.”

    At the very least it makes ya chuckle and go, “Hmmm…”

    :)

  3. I’m 52% cynical. I’d think you would be at least 65% cynical.

    For the record, I always think you’re right … until you disagree with me, then you’re wrong. :)

  4. “Supposedly, I’m 28% cynical. I don’t believe it.”

    Laughed my ass off. I do so love you, Natalie.

    HUGS! and Lots Blessings!
