THE STARS TELL ME WHAT TO DO

May 29, 2006
So many fascinating ideas could have come your way over the past few days, Jennifer, that your mind is spinning. Some of what you heard could be so radical that it'll take some time to make sense of them. You could also want to memorialize your thoughts, perhaps by making some notes, or more formally, by writing an article. Watching TV might get your mind off it all and allow you to relax a little. Go to it!

Fascinating Idea #1: people who come camping illegally, ditch their stuff which is then siezed (some of which is baaad), then come back the NEXT weekend and want to camp in the same spot, telling the staff that they "really liked it here." (something to ponder)

Fascinating Idea #2: people that mass to Whyte Avenue to celebrate the Oilers victories. people of all ages, shapes and forms, people with instruments, people with dogs, people with small children (??!!,) people dancing, people drinking and smoking pot, people in Oilers gear hi-fiving, shooting off mini fireworks and having a good time. people NOT in Oilers gear climbing trees, light poles, traffic lights, bus shelters, cars, telephone booths, trying to break off street signs, lighting bonfires on the Avenue. (IS there a way to separate the good celebrants from those plainly bent on destruction and willing to adopt any guise to do so? Maybe shaking the crowd vigorously. Or a centrifuge.)

Fascinating Idea #3: there are relationships out there in which the participants get along well, are able to plan activities and follow through without argument, are able to live separately and enjoy the time they have together, to be together without jealousy and suspicion about time spent apart, to care about someone without worrying obsessively about what bad thing they've done/gotten into while you were not around, having both participants express mutual admiration and respect and not focusing on the negatives... (do these things actually LAST????)

Fascinating Idea #4: the Edmonton Oilers are only 4 wins away from the Stanley Cup.

Fascinating Idea #5: I can do whatever the hell I like with my life and it doesn't matter what others think or want. When it comes down to it, I am the one it affects. No one else out there should be telling me why not. It should be only me saying why. (now... what to do....)

Now the stars have told me to go watch some tv... I wonder if going to a movie would help? Maybe playing some FFXI... the next two are my days off and I intend on making the most of 'em! :-D
