Resume the Madness

After nearly a year off.....yeah, I know I said I was gonna blog more often!......here we go again.....

Thanks to Kevin Freeman for inspiring me to figure out how to log back into this thing so that I can ramble on for days about nothing of importance.

Today, I would like to touch on the subject of this craziness surrounding the re-vamping of the field of astrology.

Now, I can really only recall two other such conflicts in my lifetime that had the potential for such widespread chaos.

Though I was not old enough for my voice to have much of an impact, I was there for the Metric System riots of the late 70's. Oh, let me tell you children, it was gruesome!! Family members quarreling over the dimensions of the cup they should drink their morning coffee from. Clothes makers were no longer sure how to measure people so they could properly manufacture their garments. However, the proposed conversion did have it's upside. Drivers could boast that they could now drive a lot faster and kids could claim they were taller. (at least the numbers sounded greater) Over the years, I have gathered that it was the beer drinkers in this country that put an end to the insanity. "Give me a fowty!" just flows better than "I'll have one point four three liters of your finest ale, please."

Then came the dissolution of the solar system as we knew it. Pluto was no longer to be referred to as a planet. Millions of Americans were up in arms...as were many of our colleagues in foreign lands. Pluto was a member of the Mickey Mouse gang.....they couldn't take that away from us...could they?

I'm not even sure what is being taught in the schools these days. It saddens me to think that good ol' Pluto is being left out.

Now we have this zodiac thing.....why?

For starters, I'm sure it's going to lead to a lot of tattoo removals. So that's a good thing....I guess....at least it provides job security for those in the business of removing tattoos.

I don't even know how everyone is going to be affected. Are people who used to think they were bulls now scorpions? Are former crabs now twins? Are old fish now scales? Well, that one we might be able to work with.....

I do know this....I'm still a Leo....ROWWWRRRRRR......hear me roar? Still as mighty as ever. If this had been taken from me, I may have had to pull out a big ol' can of whoop-ass. Though, even then I would be unsure just how much to apply. How is whoop-ass measured? Grams? Ounces? Anyone?

....it never ends
