9/16/2004 - Horoscope III

I have never known anything to be so out of touch with my life as my horoscope...

Your dreams are starting to come true, one by one. After all of the waiting, you can't believe that you're finally here. This kind of success is better than you hoped it would be, isn't it? The stars match you up with someone who has been desperately seeking your presence. True love spices up everything to perfection, wouldn't you say? Who could ask for anything more?

My dreams are coming true? Where was I when this happened? True love? I got your true love... right HERE!

However, horoscopes are open to interpretation. So let me try to interpret this as it applies to my life...

"Your dreams are starting to come true, one by one." When I was a kid, I always had that "falling dream". Yesterday, walking down the stairs at school, I missed a step. I totally came inches from a flailing swan song, nearly crashing to the floor in front of all of the kids, backpack sprawling, dragging my self respect across the dirty floor with it. Huh! That dream was almost fulfilled!

To the dream-analysis-inclined, the "falling dream" is symbolic of a fear of failure and lost control, which makes that dream that much funnier when applied to my life. Fear of failure? How many divorces define failure?

"True love spices up everything to perfection, wouldn't you say?" I'm trying to make sense of this one, outside of the obvious "nyah-nyah." Maybe it's all about inflection... maybe there is a brand of spices called "True Love Spices." And maybe "up everything" is just one step beyond "up yours" for those of us who are frustrated. True Love Spices up everything? Yeah, that would be perfection. So yes, I would agree with that statement, Horoscope. Lucid.

"Who could ask for anything more?" I think that this is going back to the old Abbot and Costello "Baseball" routine. That's a classic...

Lou: "Who could ask for anything more?"
Bud: "Exactly!"
Lou: "What's your problem?"
Bud: "No, you're my problem. What's on second."
Lou: "I don't know!"
In unison: "Third Base!"

So, while my horoscope is more out of touch with my life than I am, I still enjoy it.
