i am:1. uhh, tall.
2. looking for friends of all different sorts, variety is the spice of life. if you are only surrounded by people that are similar to yourself, your life will be stagnant and repetitive.
3. really easygoing, till my toes get stepped on a few times. i hate people who preach; do what you gotta do, and shut up about it.
4. i grew up on my pop's surf records and old time rock and roll till i found metal at about age 6, which i listened to mainly till i found punk and hardcore in '86. that led me thru goth, industrial, experimenta., Oi! and ska, big band, jazz, country and whatever else. in the pre napster days i was downloading all kinds of stuff all night keeping the phone lines busy. my musical tastes did a big bang theory and now i listen to everything.
i am starting to seek out and have more adult friendships. i still have some that are completely NOT, but i hope those to be the minority in a few years.
adult mind you does not mean BORING, just that i don't have to worry about someone fucking up my shit, going to jail or dying.
i suck at small talk, i just can't do it.
sometimes i sound like spiccolli or bill and ted or something. lotsa "right on" and "waay cool". old grammer problems from being a late 80's skateboarder.
August 13th
The Day of Long Odds
numbers and planets- 4 and uranus
tarot- death
strengths- indomnitable, spirited, courageous
weaknesses- quirky, oversensitive, insecure
Normally 13 is not an unlucky number, per se, but those born on August 13 at various times in their lives have to face seemingly unsurmountable odds in their fight to come out on top and stay there. Securing a desired position, struggling to reach personal goals, or searching for a fufilling relationship are lifelong challenges for them. Whether born unusual or made unusual through circumstance, August 13 people have a highly unique personality and outlook on life.
One might think that those born on this day would be depressed by the sometimes crushing weight of difficulty or challenges. Yet, although they occasionally suffer from quite deep depressions, understandably, and feel beaten down by life, they more often maintain a cheerful, bouyant disposition to the world. Highly sensitive to criticism, and prone to thinking the worst of themselves, the may nonetheless keep any insecurities to themselves and manage to remain friendly, open, and above all, active. One should not make the mistake, however, of thinking one can get close to an August 13 person easily; those born on this day generally have to know someone for months or even years before they allow that person into their private life.
Being unique, even strange individuals, August 13 people are attracted to others of an unusual nature as well; conversely they have little in common with straight-laced or highly conventional people. Yet, while those born on this day may soar toward the highest forms of idealism in their own philosophy or projects, they generally remain suspicious of those whose ideas seem unrealistic or overly optimistic. A powerful urge to rebel against any form of imprisonment, facism, or oppression marks this day. Yet, as they themselves have leadership potential, August 13 people must keep their authoritarian tendencies in check.
Many August 13 people have an attraction to danger that is not so much about risking death or injury, but trimphing over great odds. Achieving the impossible is what they are after, and even the timid born on this day generally reject a life without challenge where saftey or security is assured. Indeed, those August 13 people who have somehow been protected from accident or misfortune are quite capable one day of amazing those around them by taking great risks. All August 13 people have the strength of the long breath- they are willing to wait for what they want, and most often they know the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, what they achieve or aquire is not always of lasting value, as ironic misfortunes seem to dog their footsteps. Those born on this day that recognize and take pleasure in how unusual they are are unlikely to even bother to achieve social stability or acceptance but prefer to cut their own strnage path through life. But through all their trials and tribulations, just enough good fortune seem to smile on August 13 people to get them through, and they can recieve help at the most unexpected moments
