Chinese Astrology....

Unlike our monthly Horoscope signs (mine being Scorpio), the Chinese have one animal per year. Below is the description of someone born in 1976....the dragon! You'll learn a little about me, and maybe yourself if you were also born in that year. At the very bottom of this post is the website link to learn more. Enjoy!

The Dragon is one of the most powerful and lucky Signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Its warm heart makes the Dragon's brash, fiery energy far more palatable. This is a giving, intelligent and tenacious Sign that knows exactly what it wants and is determined to get it. Dragons possess a certain natural, charming charisma that ensures they can always influence their peers and often find themselves the center of attention in social situations. This Sign is truly blessed, too; Dragons are considered to be very lucky in love! The Dragon's friends are always keen to hear what this firebrand has to say and when it comes to dispensing advice, the Dragon has the floor.

Its ego can get in the Dragon's way, but even so, this larger-than-life creature has a knack for initiating projects and keeping the troops motivated. According to Dragons, it's their natural born right to lead the way -- because who else could do it so surely and so well? As lucky as they are, Dragons have a good chance of achieving considerable material wealth during their lifetimes, although it isn't mere money that's this Sign's main motivation. Power is what the Dragon wants and truly believes it deserves. Dragons are quite the opportunists, forever searching for ways in which to consolidate their considerable power. Contrary to all this strength and fire, a weakened Dragon is a sad sack, a creature that refuses to take defeat with even a modicum of grace.

The role of leader is the only one the Dragon wants, the better from which to give orders and be king of the hill. They make solid leaders, too, knowing instinctively what needs to be done to stay on top. Crossing the Dragon is never a good idea -- this beast can singe! A valuable life lesson for this clever creature would be to absorb the principles of flexibility, compassion and tolerance. Being high and mighty can serve to inspire others, but it also keeps Dragons from living their lives to the fullest. If Dragons can learn to balance their quest for success with an appreciation for the little things, their life will be more than worthwhile.
The most compatible match for a Dragon is the Monkey or the Rat.

Seven Things. . . .

Seven Things I Want To Do Before I Die -

• Marry & Have My Own Family - know this could count as 2 things, but can't have one without the other....at least for me anyway. How you want to live makes no difference to me. To each his/her own I always say!
• Travel Overseas - preferably to Ireland, Spain, Italy, & Australia. (Note to self - get a passport first. LOL)
• Reconcile with those I have lost contact with due to arguments, & I really miss them.
• Take more time to stop and smell the roses.
• Purchase a home of my own.
• Write more - poetry to be precise.
• Try new things - go to the theater, try exotic foods, etc.

Seven Things I Cannot Do -

• Reach things high on a shelf....I'm 5'4"
• Suppress my laughter

Remakes & Sequels....

Sometimes originals should be left alone when it comes to movies. Take this new guy that will be playing James Bond....what's-his-name (not even worth remembering)..!! Sean Connery is and will always be the only James Bond I'll ever watch!

Then there are the constant remakes & retelling of certain people that really lived such as: Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, The Alamo, etc. Come on how many different ways can you tell one story!!

One more thing before I finish my little rant - do we have to have one certain genre that dominates every year?!? Sometimes it's movies on war, horror, and bore. Geez! Whatever happened to the good old days of Hollywood when most of your movies had happy endings! It's fiction for crying out loud! Who wants to see real life on screen? You want to see reality that's not your own? Watch TV! There's too much of that too! Get a new storyline! A nice romantic movie would be nice for a change. I know I'm looking forward to the new movie about Johnny & June Carter Cash....maybe there's hope yet!

Whew! I feel better.... Thanks for stopping by!
