An Entanglement of Paradoxes

Murr

This was a week of events and it is hard for me to get my head around them. When I don't understand something I turn to key resources to find an explanation. So I tuned in to Murr Brewster, who I use as my own personal Wikipedia and happens to be the best blogger writer in the universe and is a concert pianist and if she were also a ballerina she could be Condoleezza Rice (who is a concert pianist and ex-ballerina and did some other stuff too) except for the fact Murr is a damn liberal and I don't think Condoleeezza is. So Murr explained the Horoscope fiasco to me.

Not Murr

You see I was a Moon Child, which sounds better than Cancer, not that I believe any of that crap. If you were to ask anyone who knows me and tell them that I was a Moon Child they would nod their head knowingly and say, "Yep. He is definitely the easy going, thoughtful type." I think I maybe read my Horoscope three times in my life and if it didn't say I was going to come into money I ignored it because I don't believe any of that crap. But all of my life when I had to make life decisions I always seemed to veer off in the Moon Childy direction. Once I even looked up into the heavens trying to figure out where Cancer the Crab was but could only find the Little Dipper but that's okay because I don't believe any of that crap.

My whole life I have been a Moon Child and I now find that my whole life has been a lie.

Today I find that I am a Gemini.which I learn is 'an entanglement of paradoxes'. Well, that's just great. That is like going to the psychiatrist thinking that I am a calm, cool and collected dude only to find out that I am a great big mess. Does this mean that all of the life pathways I chose are wrong? Does this mean that I may have to get a divorce because I may now be incompatible with my wife? Are others going to start detecting subtle personality shifts?

Thank God I don't believe any of that crap.

The second event of the week was that I saw that video of that woman walking along in the mall while texting on her phone and tripped into the mall fountain. This is something that I would do if I knew how to text. It is humorous and silly and embarrassing and the video quickly went viral and maybe someone, somewhere learned that it is better to text while standing still.

Sometimes opportunity knocks. There are two directions this could go. One is acceptance and embracing a new opportunity much like a Moon Child would. The other is sinking into the dark side of paradox as a Gemini might.

Here was the opportunity to laugh, show off her video, and become the spokesperson of Texting Stupidity. The video is funny and she should know it is funny and use it as a launching pad for a new direction in life. Of course Oprah and Good Morning America would want to interview her and she could have had a fun and important message to be shared. A simple way to turn an embarrassment into a positive experience.

Instead she is suing the mall for releasing the security video which I'm sure caused her irreparable mental anguish and now makes all of America mutter, "What an ass. She must be a Gemini."

So I'm glad the week is over and the events are now history and I can now get busy on important stuff like writing recipes for my new recipe blog which, if you are astute, you will find a link to at the top right hand side of the page. And if you are really astute you will find that I spent an intense four seconds changing the layout of my blog. I clicked on a new design tab. I've been here for a year now and I figured it was time to change clothes and put on some fresh deodorant.
