Strong genetics

Love will tear us apart
again.

This week has knocked my dick in the dirt, my lovelies.
Top Five Positive Things In Cait's Life

1. I am employed.
   
2. I am alive (sign of the times that this is secondary to employment and means of income? Or Freudian slip? But I digress ...)
   
3. I have both my parents (knock wood)
   
4. I can draw and I can paint to maintain sanity, and when all else fails
5. there is always sushi and beer.

P.S. Just tried Sierra Nevada's Kellerweis Hefeweizen.
... Not sure how to feel about it.

If I didn't have bad luck ...

As of Saturday my father has a broken collarbone, broken shoulderblade and four fractured ribs because someone didn't see him on his motorcycle and cut him off in traffic about two blocks from our house. He has no spinal or head trauma, which is good. However, I'm begging, I'm imploring, look out for motorcycles and bicycles on the road. We watch for you, please watch for us.

Update on the patriarch:
good news: he's been moved out of the ICU and took eight steps from his bed to the gurney they used to transfer him.
moderate news: he's still an asshole.
And I would not have it any other way

Throwback

Just like saying you love someone, saying goodbye multiple times only retains it's meaning for so long. However this is the first time I've been able to say goodbye to her in the ten years I've known her. Sadly it didn't seem as though there was much of a difference
On a completely separate note: Faire season is fucking NIGH.
Speaking of fucking nigh, ever hear of the Cardinal Cross? I don't buy into/know much about astrology or anything, but this sounds really strange, and if you've been having a few bad (checks watch) weeks like I have, take a gander. Original article from realitysandwich.com
Always,

Summer Climax: The Grand Cardinal Cross

Right before the moment of coherence is the point of maximum chaos. We are now there at the topof the roller coaster, zero point, chaos point.

Just two years before the Mayan calendar end date of December 21,2012, in the summer of 2010, 2 transpersonal planets, Uranus and Pluto, 2 social planets, Jupiter and Saturn, and 2 personal planets, the Sun and Mars, will confront each other upon the Cross of Matter in one of the most intense formations in all of astrology, often experienced only once in a human lifetime, a Grand Cardinal Cross. The waiting is over....

The Cardinal signs are the initiators of the zodiac, the outward, expressive thrust of energy in each of the four elements and seasons. Hence, Aries is Cardinal Fire and the spark of spring. Cancer is cardinal water and begins at the summer solstice. Libra is cardinal air and marks the equinox. Capricorn is cardinal earth and initiates the dark season at the winter solstice. Since they rule the seasons, the alignment of many planets upon the Cardinal Cross can literally change the face of the earth. We are about to embark on a time of dramatic change, mounting tension, and the aching pulse for a whole new paradigm for human existence.

In his Cosmos and Psyche, Richard Tarnas describes the rare experiences where multiple archetypal cycles overlap, involving Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto, as begins in 2010. We find this explosive dynamic during the French Revolution, the years 1964-67, and 1929-1933.

Tarnas writes, "Especially problematic in such eras was the extreme intensification of both widespread revolutionary upheaval and violent authoritarian repression in a tightly bound dialectic, mutually activating each other."

Those specially affected by this transit, with an important role to play as initiators of this will have planets at the first degrees of the Cardinal signs and the last degrees of the mutable signs, Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces. There will be a surge of intense stress, motivation, and passion in the planets located at these positions. Let them be your guides for your next phase of evolution.
