Zodiac Bullshit

57 here,

So, now everyone is freaking out about how the earth has wobbled and changed what their Zodiac sign is now, huh? Odd, my sign changed and I find it really hard to care.

Why? Simple, I don't really believe the Greek Zodiacs very much. I used to be an Aquarius, which means my personality should have been like so:

Poor, unhappy, unlucky, unsuccessful, medium height, rare faculties, self-esteem.

Well, I'm not poor (outside of being a college student) I'm not unhappy, I have pretty good luck, I'd like to think I'm successful, I'm 6'1'', rare faculties=bullshit, the only thing here that makes sense is the self-esteem. Well, that's crap.

Now, I'm a Capricorn, which now means I should be this:

Mean-minded, stubborn, ignorant, miserly, pushful, unhappy, boring, active, meddlesome, obliging, humorous, witty, affable, prudent, firm.

Well, I try to be nice a lot of the time, I'm slightly stubborn at not doing what I don't want to, fuck no I am not ignorant, still not unhappy (though I'm not happy either, I.E. I'm neither happy nor unhappy), I'm not pushful, I take offense to being called boring, sure I try to be active, I steer clear of other people's business (unless it affects me), I try to be convenient, Humorous and boring together here makes no fucking sense, sure I'm witty I guess, prudent or affable make no sense, and firm, not really most of the time.

Wow, sounds a lot like garbage to me.

The Greek Zodiac is based on constellations, not any earthly thing, that's why I don't trust it. The only Zodiac I trust is the Chinese. Why? I like the Greeks and all, but the Chinese Zodiac has been around for much, much longer, therefore it has a better chance and better accuracy to predict people. Sorry, I'll take the more ancient and more accurate Chinese philosophy over the younger Greek.

So, in the Chinese Zodiac I'm a monkey, meaning:

Joker, up for a good time, has a hard time showing self, can understand things and adapt well to them, and helpful.

Yeah that's really more accurate.

Look, I don't get why people are so keen to know what their future holds. To prepare for it? Hey, one of the fun things about life is to live and take whatever is thrown at you, be it good or bad. If you prepare for one apparently bad thing, and it turns out something bad happens, then you feel worse.

The Fun things in life are living and experiencing what live gives you, adapting and having fun. Knowing the future takes that away, takes away the surprise and potential it has. I generally don't worry about the future that much, aside from where I'm going to work and eat and all that, and I have fun.

If we knew everything about the future and the universe, that wouldn't be fun, we'd all just sit around and be bored, moaning about the meteors coming tomorrow or how we know this or that won't last. Taking in the unknown is fun, a new adventure every day. And that's what matters.

I know this is off topic, but hearing about the Zodiac change got me thinking about the future and how little we know. Sometimes there's a reason for us not knowing something, true knowledge, after all, is knowing we know nothing. And there's a good reason for that.

My advise, if you choose to take it, is live by the day. Sure, think about tomorrow, but don't worry about it. We adapt and change to whatever is thrown our way, and that's what makes life fun and partly why its worth living.

Just think about it, that's all I'm asking.
