Horrorscope

Does anyone else read their horoscope?  I do.  Not religiously, not obsessively, but every now and then I like to check in with it.  That being said, it's almost invariably incorrect.

However, I do think that most of the profiling stuff based on your sun sign (scorpio, thank you) is shockingly accurate.  I just think it must take a very talented person to parlay that into an actual horoscope and there might not be as many talented people as one would hope in the field.  Or something.  In any event, I think it's interesting information that can be used as part of a whole host of other things.

So with that in mind, I read my horoscope for 2010 last night in Barnes and Noble.

And I was put instantly in mind of Chris Rock: "Aquarius--you're gonna die.  Capricorn--you're gonna die.  Gemini--you're gonna die TWICE."

Because according to my horoscope, 2010 is going to suck.  And I'll tell you, not that I like to focus on stuff like this, but 2009 has kind of sucked as well.  There were a few very good things, but on the whole it has been a year marked by disappointment, rejection, and horrifically low fundage.

The horoscope for 2010 read something like this:

Career:  Ain't going anywhere fast.

Money: You have none.

Relationships: What you have will crash and burn, if you don't have one, don't plan on one anytime soon.

And I was sort of like, WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY THIS?!

And then I pouted.

If I'm not getting published at least before the end of 2010, I need something more in my life.  Maybe I needed something more anyway.  I just feel like I have no money, no time, and nothing to look forward to.  All I want to do is write, but I feel like it's one of those things that I need to have a level of excitement in my everyday life that is becoming a struggle to keep alive.

I need a new adventure.

During which I will write.

....Now I just have to figure out what that is.
