I can't believe I am missing the Black Sabbath concert at Hollywood Bowl right now. A combination of being broke, busy and exhausted kept me from it...they better tour again...anyhow, I am consoling myself with videos and wine.

 Like I said before, I never read my horoscope anymore...not for years. It was a fun joke in high school, but that's about it. Since the end of February it has been scary accurate. The below is just crazyness.

"Your professional life is at a crossroads, and if you don't make a decision this month it's possible one will be made for you. There are two likely scenarios at play, and where you fall, depends on whether or not you are following your true calling in life.

If you're doing exactly what you know you're meant to do, it's possible you'll receive spotlight attention for your work. An honor, award or even a promotion may arrive in a most unexpected way. While you'll want to celebrate your success near April 15, however, it's more likely you'll find this change to be quite stressful. You might, for example, receive a fabulous offer -- but with a catch. It may require you to travel more or move out of state, disrupting your relationship and family dynamic. It's also possible that your partner won't be as supportive of your career goals at this time, causing additional tension.

If you're not working in a field you know you belong in, the eclipse on April 15 might lead to you losing your position. This might rattle you -- especially if you were only staying for the job security. Keep in mind that in the grand scheme of things, something as jarring as this needs to happen in order to push you towards what you are truly meant to be doing with your life. The decisions you make after the rug is pulled out from underneath you will be defining for many years to come. Make them count.

If single, romance is on the horizon near April 29. If you're thinking about starting a family or adding to your brood, positive baby news might arrive."

I can't believe how little I remember to do during the day...this is like, week 3 of trying to remember to make a dentist appointment. And now, after 10pm, I remember I needed to go straight to CVS after work and buy more tinted moisturizer. I am completely out. I received the amazing compliment at work today that I "look sick in your eyes, or, something."

Kurt - 20 Years

(photo)

 20 years ago today the world lost Kurt Cobain. 

 

We think. It's actually just the medical examiner's estimate, but one would hope they are pretty good at that. He would not be discovered till April 8th, but it is accepted that he most likely passed away on April 5th. He was one of the most influential musicians of the 1990's and the king of a genre known as "grunge". Many of my favorite bands and lots of the music that shaped my youth came out of this scene, including Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam were bands I loved that embodied this sound. Mudhoney is credited as first using the term "grunge", but Nirvana was the band that brought the scene the most attention.  

 

The entire scene and the amazing music that came out of that perfect time period all fell apart the day it's boy-king was discovered dead in his attic garden. He had committed suicide. I single shotgun blast through his mouth, exiting the back of his head. He passed into eternity, and sainthood. It is widely disputed whether Kurt did kill himself, of if he had help, considering he had injected a large dose of heroin very shortly prior. A drug that ruled the Seattle area in the 1990's and all the musicians lives. A demon that has had a hand in writing far more of the incredible music in this world than one might like to imagine. But, I digress...Today we remember an incredible musician and poet, who for far too short a time influenced the radio waves of an entire nation and then left the world far too young.

Rest in Peace Kurt, we miss your wonderful talent. 

 

Saturday Happy Song - Culture Club - Karma Chameleon

When I was like, 5 or 6, I was in love with Boy George (let's NOT run a psychoanalysis on what this means), and I wanted to be Cyndi Lauper. 
I wanted to be Cyndi Lauper and marry Boy George.
Entirely because they were the coolest looking people, with the coolest music, at the time.
And I was obsessed.
I am blessed enough to still hold the vinyl single my dad played on our record player of "Karma Chameleon". It is one of my very favorite songs ever. The video is pretty great too, but I didn't see it till way later in life, and I didn't take it all in till now. So, this guy is a pick pocket and a thief, and magic multicolored Boy George appears on a rock and through song about something entirely different informs the towns people of pick pocket's shenanigans? And, this is sometime in the 19th or early 20th century, and no one freaked out that magic multicolored Boy George could be a witch?

Fabulous!
