Beaten with a pipe, left for dead and found under an inner-city train; Waking up in a trauma bay with a priest at my side: The fate of becoming an author andĀ writer.
Never did I imagine I would become a writer. If you had asked me two years previous I would have bet the house against you. At the time, educated and world traveled, CEO of a consumer finance firm with well over seven digits in sales our first year, I thought I had found some answers in life. That was the first mistake on a long road of many, starting with a journey that would bring me from the apex of business success in the business district of Philadelphia, to living out of a tent in a wheelchair, homeless for a year. Oh, how wrong I was: Life had some surprises in store for me, includingĀ becoming homeless again.
Having just returned from living two years in South Asia, with my export/import business waning due to my lack of knowledge in contemporaneous fashion trends, it was time to find a new venture. Just a short time thereafter is when I ran into an old Irish Catholic friend from childhood, Dan Sheehan. In time, another local mutual friend, who ran his own successful company at the Jersey Shore, while at a Philadelphia NFL game, warned me to stay far away. He stated, āDan is poison, he will outwit you and cause you tremendous trouble if you do not back out. Steven, get out of the deal while youāre still able.ā Little could I have known the prescience of his statement to me that fateful chilly fall evening!
At this same time, being a supposed āspiritualā person, a big supporter of oneās inward journey, on a profound quest to the soul, an old friend whom I met on a flight to Tokyo in the late 90s, currently a Vedic Astrologer,Ā Alexia, decided to try out her newly minted chart reading skills on me. This reading was not unlike others in the past, common themes of which I was already aware. But this one concluded with her telling me, āSteven, unsure what to make of this, but you will be off your feet if you do not heed the universe; or else, it will be a lesson that you will never be able to avoid or ever forget.ā
Well, nothing at that time could have convinced me different; in my mind, I was on top of the world. Having just turned thirty-seven, and having lived and traveled the world many times over, creating a nascent wildly successful finance company, it appeared to me I was about to come into my own ā that this was I had prepared for my whole adult entrepreneurial life, success was soon to be mine. Unsure if I even knew how to define success at that time, no matter how crude or disillusioned my self-import.Ā
āOn the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom.ā
āĀ Michel de Montaigne
But first a little background needs be injected into the story for proper reference and context. Up to this juncture, thinking I was a āspiritualā person, I thought I understood my purpose and direction in life. As with all events in life the benefits of hindsight allow us later to see connections that were preceding unseen and unknown. Though without any real clarity or vision on life, I could not focus on the red neon warning signs flashing in front of me Ā ā the lessons of life, the illusion of self-will ā and all its confusing options and confounding choices, the branches of life that carry us on our journey can be misleading.
It seemed to me that everything was as it was supposed to be in my life. And it was, however, just not how I had imagined it in my self-constructed reality ā and without my knowing. Our minds are masters or deceit and trickery, often keeping the āselfā in the dark. Little do we understand how the mind works, even after endless years of neurological toil, research and boundless longitude studies. Life, as well the universe, is merely a reflection ā what we see in others we also see in ourselves. The cosmos is forever mirroring back to us lessons through the multiple obstacles and people we meet daily. After all, earth is a school, a place for spirits to ascend their vibration, thus allowing them entry into higher dimensions.
The ability for humans to [re]create their own reality through emotion and memory is utterly astounding. Our minds readily create totally new and previous non-existent events and memories to fit the narrative of our self-designed new reality ā the one that fits the image of the projected life we are all living out on a screen virtually. Little did I know at the time I was where I was supposed to be ā we always are ā there are not mistakes in life. We need what we get and get what we need, as it is said ā insipidly, it is true.
As it goes in life, we have our agenda but life has its own. And whose do you think wins? Not yours ā life always comes out on top.Ā Life as we expect itĀ to go usually almost never plays itself out as we planned or originally anticipated. Alexia was in touch with theĀ Vedic astrology charts, suns and moons and cycles of my birth chart, looking ahead at possible roadblocks to my self-imagined future. It was time for me to change, but was I ready? It was not long after when an old wise friend stated: āSteven, never tie a bow around it ā a sure way to disappointment.ā It was a lesson that would prove harder than any in the past.
Six months later Alexia received a phone call from my sister early on a Christmas week Saturday morning. She was calling from the trauma ward of Jefferson University Hospital in the city of Philadelphia. She jokingly said to me while on speaker phone: āWell, Steven, we now know what off your feet meant.ā We both laughed. Finally, after four hours in the trauma bay they stabilized me. I had been beaten with a pipe and then found under an inner-city moving train. My first lucid memory after getting into the taxi the night before was waking up in a cold dark sterile hallway with a priest at my side. It was a bad night.
Later I would be transferred into the ICU unit, with five nurses caring for me, twenty-four hours a day, for eleven days. In the hospital a total of four months, including time farmed out to a shockingly horrid nursing home (to heal my bones) and a world-class rehabilitation hospital.Ā Magee, as well asĀ Numotion Mobility Company, were both key components in my recovery. I am forever grateful to my surgeon,Ā Dr. Jeffrey RihnĀ of Rothman Institute, my head therapist,Ā Elizabeth Watson DPTĀ of Magee Rehabilitation, and full-time cheerleader and recovery DC, with the 76ers 25 years,Ā Dr. Neil LiebmanĀ of Advanced Chiropractic Center. Ā
āLet us meet with bravery whatever may befall us. Let us never feel a shudder at the thought of being wounded or of being made a prisoner, or of poverty or persecution.ā
ā Ā Seneca
Often, while living in Bali, Indonesia, a local holy man would tell me that all roads lead to the same place, no matter where we find ourselves in life that is where we are supposed to be. Do not fight it ā accept what life serves you, with a big smile ā that only we can control our perspective and reaction to life. The sooner we give up control, the sooner we are happier, he often quipped to me at the local temple. Even though I had awakened a quadriplegic, that was my cross to bear, and the earlier I accepted that branch of my life the sooner I could begin recovering my body and healing my mind. All healing comes from within.
If life is a plethora of different potential roads, each with their own infinite individual reality, all leading to the same destination, although under the illusion of self-will, then I was on the proper path.Ā I was fully engaged in my quest ā a profound voyage into the soul for answers. Surely, I was on my way, but to where? Though it was theĀ greatest gift in my life, I did not choose the method, it chose me. And it was the express train to boot. Thinking I had picked a prudent direction (as if that means anything ā if only to the mind of disillusioned maniac) but life was quick to point out, after many missed signals, and finding myself on liveĀ tracks, that I had taken a detour, and though still on the right path, control was not mine.
Here I was under the impression I had chosen the road less traveled. It was less traveled ā it was mine, all alone. Little did I know my true journey and purpose would soon make themselves known ā they were hiding right in front of my eyes the whole time. But isnāt that often in life how it goes, the most obvious storyline is right in front of us but ethereal life is too complicated a puzzle for our newer, rational brains to crack. It is only through living, in facing our scariest struggles head-on, byĀ Doing The Dirty DishesĀ of life, getting our proverbial hands incessantly dirty in our vaulted existence, do we produce any growth of integral maturity in life. The sweats of our labor yesteryear are the fruits that we will reap of tomorrow.
The bigger questions started to rumble below the surface, my sub-conscious was churning like an upset undulating sea. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose?Ā Was this my fate?Ā What would I do now?Ā How would I move forward?Ā How much free-will did I have in deciding my future, if any ā or was I scheduled for another, even sterner life altering lesson to make it all clearer ā or was the train enough? One of my initial healers, an intuit, friend andĀ world renown nutritionist,Ā Paul Pitchford, to whom I am eternally grateful for his sage wisdom and sensible guidance, told me, āSteven, I am not so sure even a train was enough to knock you down. Your biggest tests will be patience and control.ā He was spot on. Ā
āWhatever happens to you has been waiting to happen since the beginning of time. The twining strands of fate wove both of them together.ā
āĀ Ā Marcus Aurelius
Over the next few years I embarked on an adventure, an extensive quest into the heart, which lead me to my soul, the darkest annals of childhood trauma and all the damaging mental baggage we collect on our way to our own personally gifted crisis. After all, arenāt these crisis our own [internal] creation, didnāt we agree to them before we were born into bio-cosmic [human] form on earth as part of our pre-birth planning session ā where we agreed to every detail and aspect of our life? Why else would we ever get a feeling deep inside our gut that all will be OK ā that soft, reassuring loving voice that comes to us when we think we have reached our final limit ā a cosmic message sent to you by a spirit or angel guide.
It was not long after my accident, while trying to keep my struggling finance company afloat, when my childhood friend alighted me of ninety-three thousand dollars in cash, causing me to close the company and declare a total loss. It was only a result of such a process, being broken on more fronts than aware, that got me to the point of considering becoming a writer. Writing was always a labor of love for me; I did not enjoy doing it ā I loathed it. With time and practice, it soon became cathartic, allowing me to extrapolate further life lessons, illuminating and elevating positive in all situations, even those tragic and seemingly intolerable ā and if telling the story of my internal psychological battles, after ten years of hell, to others so that they too may extract meaning and lessons from my utter tragedy, than I was all-in.
It was also through the help of extraordinary therapists such asĀ Dr. Julie RobertsĀ andĀ Dr. Rodney Napier, among other friends and professionals that helped me begin down the long arduous road to healing. Humans are psychosomatic: the mind and body are directly related. The power of being heard, the power of speaking ones heartfelt inner truth, the power of human connection reserves with it tremendous possibilities of hope and promise. Human connection, starting from the time we exit the enveloped safety of the motherās warm womb, is everything to our development, it is what results in agency.
Only after the continued harassment of some friends who were well established published authors, who eventually guided me to realizing and understanding what power my story and recovery and healing held for others, how my perspective having suffered a traumatic life-altering event and subsequent tremendous (doctors would call it miraculous ā but, of course, they know not of healing) recovery could help others who are suffering in life with struggle, fighting a disease or affliction, if only I were willing to write about it, to share it with others. It was then that I decided I would attempt to write my first book.
āMy hat is in the ring; the fight is on and Iām stripped to the buff.ā
ā Ā Theodore Roosevelt
After a Sunday afternoon of football with some friends at a local bar it was decided that the title of the book would be:Ā Unbreakable Mind, Channeling your Survival Instincts after Catastrophic Injury. Knowing that the title could make some think it only had solely to do with catastrophic trauma it was kept as is, the most accurate portrayal of what happens when shit hits the fan, when all hell breaks loose in your life. Survival, once we get through the acute emergency phase, takes on a whole new and unfamiliar meaning to us. As we change and become a new being, a new self, so too do our surroundings and friends ā those we associate with, and those who influence us ā as does our story, our new virtual reality.
The book, written over a period of two years, with the last seventeen chapters being pounded out by divinely inspired key-strokes in six weeks, through the journey of my accident and recovery, serves as a story for anyone in life with struggle. It also serves as a tremendous story of inspiration and motivation ā the triumph of man, the man who faces his biggest struggles in life, the man who faces his apocryphally agreed upon pre-destiny and foreboding fate. He is the true modern hero. The book has been a great success, sold inĀ audible,Ā electronicĀ andĀ printĀ formats, helping countless others throughout the world.
Having shed the pseudo title of being spiritual, now matching my actions with my words, having forever journeyed into the darkness of the soul in order to discover my light, and meaning in life, understanding that in order to acquire anything of substantial integral value in life it requires hard work, inspired by a Buddhist altruism and analogy for life, I started a new company in order to help others:Ā Doing The Dirty DishesĀ ā one must till his hands in the soil of living, one must live life and all its experiences to the max, with all its trials and tribulations, ever remaining present and mindful, filling your garden with flowers.
āThe man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.ā
āĀ Confucius
Soon after, public speaking, consulting and coaching followed. Though at present, other than mentoring younger men and women, and providing therapy where and when needed, my essence remains focused on writing. Once again able to board a plane and sustain the treacherous trans-oceanic flights, and all that travel entails, I started flying around the world again, resulting in aĀ Travel BlogĀ ā thereafter also starting aĀ Spiritual Blog. One is directed to those for whom travel is a challenge in life and the other for those whom are insightful and introspective, respectively. Both are read in over eighty-four countries.
Never did I plan to be a writer but those were the cards life dealt me. And what was I to do? Sit and sulk, curl up into a ball and cry, dejected, lacking all interest and passion for life, becoming a depressed victim of lifeās unwarranted [yet to be seen] paradoxical fortuitous circumstances? Ā Life is so hard, you might as well fold your hand and exit the game ā or, also one has the choice of becoming an unceasing survivor ā a relentless persevering warrior on the inner-self-quest to slay his dragons, with each new dawnās rising sun a fresh choice of slate of wonder and chance anew, abound with endless unimaginable possibilities.
āThink of the life you have lived until now as over and, as a dead man, see whatās left as a bonus and live it according to Nature. Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own, for what could be more fitting? āĀ
Ā ā Marcus Aurelius
No one ever summated Mt. Everest from their couch. Anything in life that comes easily is not worth having; anything worth having does not come easily. No pressure; no diamond. It is far easier to see fault in others, to pass judgment, than to dig in and deal with āour stuff,ā delving into the internal abbesses of our emotion filled psyches and what needs paying attention to most, healing. The biggest bully you will ever face you see in the mirror each day; we are our own biggest critics. But if we allow love and healing into our hearts our dynamic changes, in every facet. The only person who we ever shall judge is our-self ā and pray that we are a better person than who we were the day prior.
Aside from currently working on a second book, Unbeatable Heart (part of a trilogy ā third: Unstoppable Wheels), will explain what the heart is and what is its true function, how to enter into the chambers that lead to the soul, and what do to what with what you find there ā how to turn that into a meaningful life, replete with purpose and happiness. Plans are in the process to restartĀ Doing The Dirty Dishes PodcastĀ in the coming months. There are plans also for more travel blogs in the winter & spring, Covid-19 travel permitting.
In my single digit years I thought one day I would be a farmer (though the irony that we all till the soil of the earth is not lost on me), in my teen years I thought I would be an international photographer for Nat Geo, then in my twenties I was sure I would end up living abroad as a businessman, rounding out my thirties thinking I would become a CEO of a large company, so when my forties arrived, to my greatest initial dismay and utter surprise, after suffering a tragic mid-life trauma that turned every angle and aspect of my life upside down, it turns out I have become a writer. It was my fate ā and I am grateful.
For, without the aberrant aberrations of life, the dreams that funnel to us through our inner-self, our conscious, the myth we spin in the web of the mystery of life, it is life itself, living, that truly gives us meaning in life, happiness. And only through living by extolling others, with life as our mirror and truest teacher, by tilling our garden of joy, understanding and acquiescing we have no control over life, but only our reaction and attitude, seeking out meaning through a dark and horrific inner journey of the soul, welcoming the quest into the heart, molding our present from the infinite cosmic clay of self-reality, of ultimately, as a result of aforementioned, finding what we love, our passion, our purpose.Ā
Funniest irony, the magik of the trail, as an old friend, Knud, would say, is that if asked my friends would tell you it was always my obvious path to become a writer and speaker. I still find it surprising. But hey, we all create our own reality ā go create yours. All roads [eventually] lead to the same destination ā where you are meant to be. In due time, with attentive introspection and indulgent curiosity, along with a little love and light, you too shall reach your intended journeyās end. Perhaps, upon close enough thorough inspection, you may discover [too] that you are already there ā where you are supposed to be at this moment ā embrace it, live in the now, get into the flow, the Chi of life. Teeth to the wind!

USING A SPORTS EXAMPLE TO EXPLAIN HARD ASPECTS
I waa born and raised in Philadelphia, which is as passionate a pro football town as there has ever been. If you are a great coach or player on their Eagles, you can do no wrong. If you lose or play bad, you can do no right.
Andy Reid became the coach of the Eagles in 1999. His last season with them was in 2012. In the years he was coach, in a 16-game season, his wins per year were, 5, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 6, 10, 8, 9, 11, 10, 8, and 4. After the 4-win season, he ended up with the Kansas City Chiefs and later won a the Super Bowl. Since then, he has been rated a top three coach in the league and won of the best ever.
In an interview after winning the championship with the Eagles, Reid said, "I learned more about myself and the game during those years with the Eagles than from any other time in my life. My failures there are invaluable." He also had a son found dead from drugs during those years!
What Reid said there is exactly what's going on with hard aspects in a horoscope. Unfortunately, when you start out in astrology, everything is lumped into being good or bad. Neither exists in astrology. A horoscope is what you make of it. Steve Jobs had a Cardinal Grand Cross with the Neptune part of it in the 2nd House. Minus the name and data, I put his chart on a social media astrology page and asked opinions about financial prospects. Close to a hundred people trashed the chart and you know why? It's because they have been taught to think that Grand Crosses are bad and Neptune in the 2nd in Grand Cross is especially bad.
If, say, you are born with Saturn square Mercury, it's NOT, "You're stupid." It is saying that your thought processes and/or communications styles are too rigid and if you learn to harness it, you can be a frightfully efficient, constructive thinker capable of a high degree of learning or communicating.
So, what can happen initially is maybe doing poorly in school. Successes happen after failures. Such a person maybe has to study harder than the next person. Maybe they get laughed at in class via the immaturity of young kids. These things are supposed to serve as motivation to get better and that's all hard aspects are. They are instructions to let you know what work has to be done in order to be more fulfilled. They are supposed to provide motivation but if you pay attention to some in astrology, a square means you are just doomed. Like, in my horoscope, the Sun is in the 7th House squared by Saturn. Between the books I read and the few who looked at my horoscope early on, I was led to believe that I would have a life of relational failure, yet, since January, 1983, I've been ecstatically fulfilled in marriage.
Do not define people you know nothing about by planets. Know something of the person's life and then apply the horoscope to that. You might see a horoscope with a Libra Acendant, Sun and Venus in Taurus in the 7th, and think in terms of someone cordial, wanting to please, etc. Yet, that's what Hitler's horoscope has.
Aspects are not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. My Sun square Saturn is different than yours because you were not born in West Philly to Henry and Earlean Fearrington. Your life circumstances and reality come BEFORE the horoscope.
Just like Andy Reid had to have years of failure to find himself before succeeding, hard aspects suggest the same. You cannot correct yourself or get better without knowing what to correct and work on. That's the beauty of hard aspects. It's your personal instruction kit to be all that you can be, NOT SOMETHING BAD! š¹

Chiron Chronicles, Volume 5, October 13, 2020: Mercury in Scorpio Stations Retrograde Today, or āWhat Does It REALLY Mean To Be Well?ā
Hey Truthseekers, and welcome to the fifth installment of the Chiron Chronicles.Ā Ā
Before you dig into this piece, I encourage you to read the first, second, third, and fourth installments of this series. Also, check out a piece I wrote on Chiron back in 2018 entitledĀ āChiron Meditations, Part One.āĀ Ā
As always, I welcome your comments and impressions, particularly if you, like me, are in the throes of your Chiron return, or more generally, are actively pursuing your own personal journey toward wholeness, growth and evolution.
Now letās dig into the astrology of the moment Mercury stations retrograde at 11+ Scorpio on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, at 9:05 pm EDT (set in Philadelphia, PA, where I live).Ā Iāve posted the chart of the moment below; take a moment to read and ponder astrologer Blaine Boveeās interpretation of the Sabian Symbol for the ascendant degree for the chart ā¦ itās very telling:Ā āA woman suffragist orating.ā
Ā In the chart, Gemini is rising, with the first house holding the Gemini North Node (which is engaged in a tense, somewhat disorienting energetic contact with Neptune, currently retrograde in Pisces and in the 10th house).Ā The duality inherent in the fact that Gemini is rising canāt be ignored.Ā There are people who are okay with whatās going on, and people who are not.Ā The issue is that we canāt clearly discern one from the other, mainly because we are coming from widely different perspectives.
Mercury, the chart ruler, is in Scorpio, the sign of elimination, waste, trash, purging, detoxification and cleansing. He is holding forth in the 6th house of wellness, self-improvement and our daily routines, continuing his energetic dialogue with Uranus retrograde in Taurus in the 12th house of solitude, self-undoing and the collective unconscious. Both Mercury and Uranus will receive cues from Venus and the Moon, joined together energetically in Virgo, in the 4th house of family, roots and endings.Ā Ā
While Mercury stands still in the sky, preparing to begin his retrograde journey through Scorpio and the late degrees of Libra over the next three weeks, Mars reaches the halfway point of his retrograde journey through his home sign of Aries with an opposition to the Libra Sun.Ā Not only does he have to contend with the partnership oriented energy of the Libra Sun, he also has to find ways to productively engage with the power-packed planetary lineup in Capricorn - Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter, all of which are in direct, forward motion and gaining speed.Ā In the 11th house of hopes, wishes, groups and associations, Chiron continues to journey backwards through Aries as well, making creative contacts with Saturn in Capricorn and the Libra Sun.Ā Ā
In short, this is āstop being selfish and get your shit together because our overall health and well-being depends on itā energy.Ā The Universe is continuing to gently (but firmly) nudge us toward the historic Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius, perfecting this December. Astrologer Liz Greene writes that Jupiter-Saturn cycles can potentially point to the ādethroning of something old and outworn, a burst of new energy and some chaos before a new, younger thing emerges.ā
Any planet in Scorpio, the sign of elimination, waste, trash, purging, detoxification and cleansing will be up to the task of moving things along.Ā And over the next few weeks, Mercury retrograding through Scorpio gives us the chance to think deeply about our inner relationship to wellness, and more importantly, naming what might be holding us back from doing what it takes to be our best physical, spiritual and mental selves.
I think we can all agree that this year has been like no other in recent memory. The threat and reality of death and profound loss loom over us like a dark cloud, permeating every aspect of our lives.Ā Day in and day out, we have been bombarded by a great deal of new - and often conflicting - information from a variety of sources.Ā With each passing day, it has become more and more difficult (and stressful) to sort out whatās credible and what is utter foolishness.Ā
Over the past 7-8 months, we have asked to shelter in place, wear masks and other protective face coverings, practice physical and social distancing, wash our hands, and be careful. Itās a meditation on cooperation and what it truly means to come together for a reason bigger than ourselves; unfortunately, weāre coming to a sad realization that some people just wonāt cooperate unless they are forced to.Ā Nothing could have prepared us for the over the top dysfunction on display that weāre being forced to witness.Ā Ā
In pondering the questions, āWhat does it mean to be āwellā?,ā and, āWhat does being āunwellā look like?ā, we are being called upon to use discernment to sort out the facts from the bullshit and lies, and then put that information to good use.Ā How each of us goes about this will have a direct impact on our relationships and the larger collective.Ā Ā
Over the next three weeks, approach the process of releasing old and outworn ideas and self-defeating thoughts about your relationship to wellness through the lens of common sense and practicality.Ā Be prepared however, to meet some resistance from those closest to you, some of whom may be deeply misguided because they are getting their cues from those in positions of authority.
The long and short of it is this:Ā Our actions have to line up with our words, which means we have to do what is sound, prudent and practical.Ā Itās not enough to give lip service to the facts and itās not enough to endlessly gripe about how these facts are falling on deaf ears. Pandemic or not, we are being called upon to carefully and calmly rethink the mind-body-spirit connection, why we may have lost our way and what it will take to liberate ourselves and the people around us.Ā Ā
The Universe is gifting us a three-week energetic reprieve to consider the way forward - it is being clearly illuminated; itās all boiling down to a matter of personal choice coupled with a heightened awareness of how our personal choices can adversely impact or benefit the collective. A number of fundamental questions have begun to emerge, the answers to which will become clear by the time Mercury stations direct in Libra on November 3, 2020. Ā

place of birth:Ā bel air, california
occupation:Ā dj / club owner

š«š²šøš°š»šŖš¹š±š
born and raised in las vegas, nevada to a restauranter for a father and a celebrity party planner for a mother, itās safe to say that phillipeās life has been nothing but one, big giant party.
with his father having a chain of luxury restaurants on the vegas strip in all of the most luxurious hotels and his mother rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, philippe fell in love with the night life far earlier than he probably should have.
workaholics and always working on their latest big project left philippe to his own devices more often than not - and a kid with money and nothing but time on his hands was a dangerous thing in sin city.
wickedly smart, but never applying himself in school, he used those smarts for other things - selling drugs on the low, making fake ids for his friends, bribing his way into the hottest nightclubs when he was underage, always with a knack to scheme and lie his way into whatever he wanted.
heās always had laser focus, liking to turn the mundane into something extraordinary, and when he wasnāt running around the vegas strip causing trouble, he was in his room, headphones in, making remake mixes to some of the worldās most popular songs.
he began making youtube videos of his music when he realized that college wasnāt an option for him, considering he was rarely in school, and his videos and remixes garnished millions and millions of views
using his motherās connections, he began to get djing gigs at all the most popular nightclubs on the vegas strip, eventually being a headliner himself.
partying and hanging out with celebrities every single night was exactly the life he wanted for himself. he craved a constant good time, forever wanting to be a peter pan boy that never grew up, and he soon realized that this career path was it.
instead of just making mixes, he began producing songs for popular artists and every time he did, they ended up at the top of the charts, which caused him to move to los angeles and take on a celebrity status, under his stage name,Ā āphoenixā
never wanting anyone to tell him what to do, he started his own record label - that literally only produces his music and collaborations with other artists called āfly guy records.ā
now, not only is he one of the biggest djs in the world, but heās also an entrepreneur, and has opened two nightclubs - sound nightclub in downtown los angeles & hakkasan in los vegas.
thereās not a humble bone in his body, a true nepo baby whoās gotten nothing but praise for doing the bare minimum his entire life, heās used his clout and fame to get him anything, and anyone he wants.
heās a non-committal kind of man, bored easily and treats women like theyāre disposable, but will put on the charming act to get what he wants out of them.
sickly sweet to get what he wants, once he does, a switch flips and he can become the most cold person youāve ever met, but he simply doesnāt care - the world is his chessboard and everyone is merely a pawn to him in this game that he calls life.

Astrology: Birth Charts, Cycles, Angles and Ancient Symbolism
Have you ever wondered what the Pentagram actually means? How about the Star of David (Seal of Solomon), or the Sumerian 8 pointedĀ Star of Inanna?
These symbols are all thought to be references to astrology. The points on the stars are the geometric angles made between planets in the sky; the points on the stars represent planets, and the astrological angles between them.
The Seal of Solomon represents Sextiles and Trines, and the star of Inanna represents Oppositions and Squares.
90 degree angles, 180 degree angles, 60 degree angles, these ancient symbols were geometric codes embedded into ancient artifacts, preserving a blueprint for an understanding of astrology.
Your soul is a snapshot of the Solar System at your time of birth. A photograph.
The geometric angles made between planets in the sky at your time of birth, in your birth chart, define the inherent characteristics of your soul.
Along with the constellations the planets are in, this is how astrology works- itās a mix of geometric angles made between planets, and the constellations the planets are in (the 13 constellations of the zodiac, as all planets except the dwarf planets are on the Ecliptic Plane).
If you go deeper, the individual stars that align with your planets also define you, and every degree of every sign is different.
Looking at your birth chart, an astrologer can tell you your deepest inherent characteristics with 100% certainty. Without ever having met a person, an astrologer can take your birthchart and tell you who you are, down to the most private and hidden aspects of your soul.
Astrology is the clock upon which all events occur, the measure of why every individual behaves in their unique inherent way, and the one sure way to understand the future and the past.
Uranus and Pluto ā The Synodic Cycles of Revolution
Your soul is connected to every planet in the solar system; the planets are physical pieces of the code of your soul, each one of them being a physical component of your being. Every planet in the solar system governs a set of archetypical traits that compose your core being, your inherent self, and your soul.
For example, Uranus governs intuition and the flow of thoughts, ideas, creativity, and revolution. This is more than a mere metaphor; when Uranus makes angles in the sky to slow moving Neptune or Pluto, the effects are seen for years, and revolutions literally occur.
Historically, the accuracy of these cycles is proven again and again.
2012-2015, a kind of awakening has occurred globally, has it not? In 2013, Egypt saw the largest protests in the history of the world, drawing over 20 million people.
These revolutions of the mind and outside the mind were predicted in the 60ās and 70ās by astrologers- weāre currently living through the Uranus Pluto Square.
This was the aspect held in the birthcharts of revolutionaries born around 1933- including Martin Luther King, John Africa from Philadelphia activist group āMOVEā, and more.
After 1933, the next angle between Uranus and Pluto was the sextile, 1942-1944. In this era, the next wave of revolutionaries were born including Huey P Newton of the Black Panthers (Who founded the Black Panthers with Bobby Seale of the 1933 Uranus square Pluto generation).
If you look close, there is a common characteristic between these generations who share the same outerplanetary angles.
The 1960ās revolution
So tell me this; why were the 1960ās so revolutionary? What made all of those people decide they wanted to protest, try psychedelics, form a new culture, and transform like that? Americans certainly didnāt inherit those ideas from their parents or peers, so where did the waves of culture come from?
The 1960ās were the most intense phase of the Uranus/Pluto cycles in the 20th century. 1965-1967, we saw the peak of the wave of culture, and the peak of the Uranus Pluto Conjunction (alignment).
As with any generation, those born in that era of time permanently have that energy embedded into them. Uranus is the seat of nearly all of the characteristics of the 60ās; Uranus is Aquarius, ideas, revolution, creativity, experimentation, freedom, music and the arts, everything that defines the 60ās.
Pluto is a powerhouse, an incomprehensibly powerful beam of light that adds voltage to anything it touches. In the charts of billionaires, Pluto is conjunct Jupiter (the planet of wealth and abundance).
In the charts of serial killers, Pluto makes harsh angles to Mars, like Joseph Stalinās Mars-Pluto Opposition. So in the 60ās, Pluto added power and intensity to revolutionary Uranus, and look at what came out of it.
To sum it up, here are the 7 most revolutionary eras and generations of the 20th century. This goes for the whole world:
Ā Ā Ā 1933 ā Uranus Square Pluto
Ā Ā Ā 1942 ā Uranus Sextile Pluto
Ā Ā Ā 1965 ā Uranus Conjunct Pluto
Ā Ā Ā 1978 ā Uranus Semisextile Pluto (mild)
Ā Ā Ā 1986 ā Uranus Semisquare Pluto (mild)
Ā Ā Ā 1996 ā Uranus Sextile Pluto
Ā Ā Ā 2012-2015 ā Uranus Square Pluto
Predictive Astrology ā Eras of Life and the Outer Planets
It works like this; the planets in the sky at any given moment, they make angles to your birthchart.
If you take your birthchart, and lay it on top of a chart of any given moment, and then see what angles are made between the planets at that moment and the planets at your birth, you have the code of that moment in time and you can accurately predict how you are going to feel, and what is likely to happen.
For instance, if Neptune were at 15 degrees Pisces, and your natal (birthchart) Pluto were at 15 degrees Sagittarius, Neptune would be squaring your Pluto. This is because Neptuneās current position forms a 90 degree angle to where Pluto was at your time of birth- a Square.
If Neptune were instead at 15 degrees Aquarius, it would be sextiling Pluto. That would be a positive and transformative aspect, rather than a shocking, bottomless pit of Neptunian depth mixed with Plutonian intensity like a Neptune-Pluto Square would be.
Over thousands of years, people have analyzed what happens when individuals experience certain angles.
For example, when Neptune squares a personās natal Pluto. When that angle happens to a person, an astrologer takes note of what happens to them. Once multiple people are observed experiencing the same angle and they all have the same things in common happen to them, you have tangibly determined the effects of an astrological angle.
Over time, astrologers have defined every single angle, with razor sharp accuracy.
Because it is as tangible as mathematics, anybody can start interpreting astrology with just a bit of effort- all you have to do is use a Synastry Calculator to calculate a personās angles they are experiencing at any given time. Or if youāre experienced, all you need is the charts.
Then to see what era of their life they are in, you look at the outerplanetary angles- the angles made to their planets by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. These are angles that last months, or a few years.
For instance, if youāve gone through a Pluto transit, such as Pluto Conjunct Sun, youāve had your life completely transformed from top to bottom over the span of about 2 years.
A devastating or life changing event was probably the trigger of this; it exploded on you, and your life was transformed for a year after that. If you are Sagittarius, you experienced Pluto conjunct your Sun somewhere between 1996 and 2008. If you are Capricorn, your experience comes 2008-2024.
Through this understanding, an astrologer can take your chart and tell you years in advance when eras of extreme change strike.
They can tell you when a period of spiritual awakening will come (Uranus/Pluto related usually), when a time of extreme hardship will come (Saturn/Pluto), when a period of lack of focus will come (Mercury/North Node), when a period of economic prosperity will come (Jupiter/Venus), when an era of irritation with others and conflict will come (Mars), everything you can imagine.
The Angles of Astrology and Ancient Symbolism
The primary angles in Astrology include the Conjunction, Opposition, Sextile, Trine, and the Square. Other equally significant but less known angles include the Sesquiquadrate, Quintile, Decile, Semisquare, Semisextile.
The Trine and Sextile are the āeasyā aspects, the positive ones. These are the angles of reward, gain, peace, happiness, pleasure, and the smooth flow of ideas and energy.
This is one trineĀ ā (when two planets are this many degrees apart, a line is drawn between them in a chart):
This is one sextile:
A Grand Trine is 3 trines, a perfect triangle:
And a Seal of Solomon is 6 Trines and sextiles:
The Star of David or Solomonās Seal is composed of 2 triangles on top of eachother- These are 2 astrological Trines.
A Sextile is an astrological angle very similar to the Trine, but not as strong- a Sextile is a 60 degree angle formed between 2 planets- or 2 points next to eachother on the Seal of Solomon.
The Seal of Solomon is thought to be nothing but a symbol of the astrological Trines and Sextiles; thatās why it can be found in ancient cultures all over the world.
The 8 pointed star of Inanna represents the malefic angles. It would make sense, as Inanna/Ishtar is the goddess/god of War, Greed, and Lust.
The Square and Opposition are considered primarily malefic but not unnecessary to the balance of life, causing disaster, problems boiling over, tension, hard lessons, and a need to use the tense but fiery energy towards something constructive.
Squares or Oppositions between certain planets are not malefic, but most are. For example, Jupiter improves and expands everything it touches. Itās almost impossible for Jupiter to be malefic.
The Opposition is the angle of war itself. 9/11 occurred on an exact opposition of arguably the 2 most destructive planets, Saturn and Pluto (When Saturn was in the US War aspect of Saturn in Gemini).
This is 2 Squares, or a T-Square- 2 Squares and one Opposition:Ā
This is the Grand Cross Configuration, an extremely tense and energetic configuration of 4 Oppositions and Squares.Ā This is found in the birthcharts of people like Charles Manson:
Conclusion
Astrology is not a vague or imagined thing. Itās entirely tangible like mathematics; observable by multiple people, the same in each observation during multiple different circumstances.
This is the beginning of a series of articles on astrology that will delve even deeper into the topic.
Please share this with as many people as possible, especially people who need to know that astrology goes infinitely deeper than sun signs.
Astrology is the code of our soul, and it goes deeper than we may ever be able to comprehend. The tangible and objective analysis of astrology is the analysis of self.
Much love to all... go in peace my friends

When Department Stores Were Theater
After the hundreds of jobs going poof and the thus-far inadequate discounts, the saddest thing about the closure of Barneys New York is that its signature naughty window displays will recede even further in collective memory.A Hail Mary campaign earlier this year imploring shoppers to go inside even as the store declared bankruptcy (āSTRUT STRUT STRUT STRUT STRUT STRUTā) was but a faint echo of the era when subversive tableaus of papier-mĆ¢chĆ© public figures, found objects, condoms on Christmas trees and the occasional scampering vermin mesmerized crowds, offended cardinals and even sold some clothes.But āweāre in a post-window-display world,ā said Simon Doonan, the Barneys O.G. window dresser, in a telephone interview, noting the āimpenetrable facadeā of Dover Street Market, heir apparent to the luxury avant-garde. Its New York entrance has only small, high apertures above pedestrian eye level.āIn the old days, window displays were the primary form of marketing ā fashion was the same as butcher shops and fishmongers,ā he said. āNow, if youāre waiting till someone walks past your store, youāve lost the fight.āIndeed, the bustling new Nordstrom on 57th Street dispenses with traditional boxed-in display windows entirely, replacing them with a shallow, wavy facade that John Bailey, a spokesman, assured would be festooned with red and white lights come Black Friday. The facade is āan interactive viewing experience for customers walking by,ā he wrote in an email, āconnecting the shopping experience in store to the energy of the city.ā (And the energy of customersā phones.) A young employee at the central help desk said elliptically that āour windows are our customer service.āGather āround, children, and let Auntie Alexandra tell of when department stores, now mostly glassy, anodyne places you go to exchange online purchases, used to put on a show. Sometimes more entertaining than the theater.First, though, a quick gallop through what remains of New Yorkās holiday windows in 2019, and the hopeful cornucopias within.At the doomed Barneys flagship on 61st Street, there was of course bubkes, just signs reading: āEverything Must Be Sold! Goodbuys, then Goodbye.ā Inside on the fifth floor, female customers were listlessly flipping shoes to glance at the soles and calculate the markdown, as if with muscle memory from the much-lamented warehouse sale. Four creaky flights up, the power lunch spot Fredās, named for Fred Pressman, Barneysā charismatic chairman who died in 1996, was full ā even as a worker held a headless naked mannequin steady by her neck on a hand truck, waiting for the elevator to go down, down, down.A few blocks away preens Bergdorf Goodman, the beautiful princess whose holding company, Neiman Marcus, muscled recently into the Hudson Yards, like a watchful mother-in-law moving into the guest cottage. There are no old-school windows at the gleaming new Neiman, being that itās high up off the dirty street in a mall (and incidentally charging kids $72 per head for breakfast with Santa). But at Bergdorf, David Hoey, the storeās senior director of visual presentation, and his team have gamely produced a concept called Bergdorf GoodTimes. Literally gamely. Like, filled with actual games.One window was captioned āQueenās Gambitā (chess); another, āJackpot!ā (pinball); another, āWinner Take Allā (casino ā perhaps a dry subconscious commentary on the high-stakes state of retail). Around the corner, a life-size board game, āUp the Down Escalator,ā was dotted with fictional gift cards, coin of the online-shopping realm.Mr. Hoeyās sophisticated, colorful creations did not seem intended for little ones ā and anyway those were scampering around across the street, splashing in small pools and peering into mirror-glass āsky lensesā outside the Fifth Avenue Apple store. Paging Dr. Lacan!Further east on 59th and Lexington Avenue, dear old Bloomingdaleās was flagrantly violating several of the decorative precepts set out by Mr. Doonan in his seminal 1998 book, āConfessions of a Window Dresser: Tales From a Life in Fashion.ā Specifically: ādo remember that technology is boringā and ādonāt incorporate sex.āIf Bergdorf is rolling the dice on the future of the department store ā eroded perhaps irrevocably by Amazonās mighty, corrosive flow ā Bloomieās is searching the stars. Not the celebrities whose daffy effigies used to populate Mr. Doonanās windows, mostly with enthusiastic cooperation (Madonna, Magic Johnson, Norman Mailer, Prince, Queen Elizabeth), but a lavish commingling of astronomy and astrology titled Out of This World.Robots were placing ornaments on a tree and sitting at a synthesizer ready to play the carol of your choice at the push of a button. Google Nest, a sponsor, was poised to turn on the tree, the lights; the fire. And astronauts were floating in a ā3, 2, 1, Gift Off,ā or was it a āGIF Off?ā Female mannequins embodying various figures of the zodiac were outfitted like go-go dancers, all pearls and feathers and curvature: propped up against each other on a pedestal as a recording played of John Legend singing, incongruously, āChristmas in New Orleans.ā Inside, on the main floor, one embodying Cancer the Crab hung upside down from the ceiling: eyes closed, suspended over a hoop, hand-claws splayed, rotating slowly. Her bared, inverted legs conjured less the #MeToo era than the infamous āmeat grinderā photo of the June 1978 Hustler magazine that feminists used to protest on Manhattan sidewalks.
Razzle-Dazzle in the Mezzanine
Mr. Doonan had called from Los Angeles, where he was, among other activities, promoting a monograph to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Maxfield, the boutique there. This even though when he was in the window-dressing business, āI was very anti-anniversary and I vetoed all of them. They just made the company seem old and boring. It looks dusty.āThough I agree 100 percent and moreover think the ascription of significance to particular numbers is as ridiculous as astrology, it also happens to be the 40th anniversary of a seismic and undersung event in department-store history: when the performer Elaine Stritch was the M.C. of an elaborate fashion show at Liberty of London, the emporium known for its fine fabrics. (Many women in those years still sewed household clothes from patterns.)Arranged by Peter Tear, then Libertyās head of marketing and publicity, and choreographed by Larry Fuller of āEvita,ā the show somehow managed to cross-promote the low-tar Silk Cut cigarette with a silk congress happening in London. Concordes were deployed with top models on board. Cocktails were concocted by the CafĆ© Royal down the road. Fifty-odd designers contributed special outfits for the occasion, including Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Yves Saint Laurent.Another was David Emanuel, who, with his wife and partner, Elizabeth, would design the showās bridal gown (and later Princess Dianaās).āPeople gasped,ā he said, remembering the Liberty event on a crackly trans-Atlantic phone line. āThey were aching for ālarger than life.āā Mr. Emanuel described Stritch ā subject of my recently published biography, āStill Hereā (hey, itās the selling season) ā in a sequined tuxedo jacket, singing among other numbers āFalling in Love Againā Ć la Marlene Dietrich to the enraptured ladies who lunch who had paid five quid admission apiece for the show, which ran thrice daily over the course of a week. āIt has more punch and pulchritude packed into its 51 minutes than most West End musicals twice as long,ā one newspaper commented.Mr. Doonan theorized that Liberty, fighting a dainty, twin-set image, had taken inspiration from what the storied retailer Marvin Traub was doing then at Bloomingdaleās. āThe whole thing was that the store was the stage ā the razzle-dazzle of flash and pizazz and lo and behold, thereās a swimwear fashion show with Pat Cleveland coming down the escalator,ā he said. āEvery day was ācurtain up!ā at Bloomingdaleās.āTruly, what could be more of an ultimate fantasy set than the department store of yore, with its infinite ācostumes,ā props and built-in risers, its endless potential for comedy, dance, drama and even horror? Florenz Ziegfeldās pre-code movie āGlorifying the American Girl,ā showcasing his Follies, starts in one. The heroic airman in āThe Best Years of Our Livesā returned to work as a soda jerk in another; ennobled by the theater of war, he chafed at his diminishment in the feminine one of trade.Barbra Streisand gamboled through Bergdorf in 1965 for her TV special, trying on fur coats and hats, spritzing perfume and singing a Fanny Brice-ish medley of āSecond Hand Roseā and āBrother Can You Spare a Dimeā to funny and glamorous effect. James Goldman and Stephen Sondheimās āTwilight Zoneā-inflected broadcast musical, āEvening Primrose,ā was set in a department store called Sternās, and featured a poet played by Anthony Perkins remaining after-hours, giddy at the idea of the creativity that his solitude, enhanced by all the products he needs, will stimulate. At one point he stands on an escalator belting, āIām here! Iām here!ā foreshadowing the famous anthem in Goldman and Sondheimās own āFolliesā taken up late in life by Stritch. (Later a young woman he discovers there sings of remembering snow: āSoft as feathers/ Sharp as thumbtacks.ā She had been left there, in Hats, as a child by her preoccupied mother, but now with climate change the lyric sounds like prescient ecological lament.)Even after the fiasco of Andrew McCarthy at Philadelphiaās Wanamakerās (R.I.P.) in āMannequinā 20 years later, and the slow creep of the suburban mall, there was yet another remake of āMiracle on 34th Street.āāWhere did Auntie Mame go when she lost all her money?ā Mr. Doonan reminded. āSelling roller skates at Macyās.āItās hard to imagine, though not impossible, that department stores will remain important sites of commerce and culture much longer. But the largest one in the city is not about to go quietly. At Macyās, which takes up an entire block, there is a jumble of every sort of window.There are old-fashioned windows devoted to the story of Virginia OāHanlon, the little girl who wrote to The New York Sun in 1897 asking if there was still a Santa Claus. Around the corner, there are high-tech windows giving voice to a little girl who wants to be Santa Claus. And around another corner: still other windows filled simply with giant Barbies. Being female in the early 21st century is nothing if not a series of mixed messages, but this attempt to empower seemed already antiquated; if Mr. Doonan were still working on windows, surely he would have gone straight for Mx. Claus?The ghost of Barneys yet to come is at Saks Fifth Avenue, which has licensed its former rivalās name, and where windows have been themed with glittering corporate efficiency to the international blockbuster āFrozen 2.ā This may delight the tourists, but city dwellers remembering the craft and chance and silliness of the old holiday extravaganzas ā when the designers and the famous people and the window dressers were all sticking pins in each other, and the audiences crowded four-deep on the pavement for the free sideshow ā will probably be left cold.

#DailyGratitude HYDRATION. Whether itās inside or outside, our bodies need water. It is the element that makes up more than 60% of who we are as human beings. . My dearest friend and @realityisrael sister @kelseyjpatel once asked me what are the my top three well-being hacks were, the reasons why I am how I amā filled with zest, unlimited energy, and having the ability to go 100 mph all day, everyday. I told her one of them was self care, particularly time spent with water. I believe that genetically itās in my blood to have such a strong affinity to water, and even more so astrologically as a cancer. Thatās why anytime I get the chance to jump in a pool, a river, or an ocean, Iām there...even if merely a few minutes. H20 helps me be who I am, fully.š¦ . Today Iām grateful for the access I have to water even during long road trips in metropolitans around the country. Iām never take for granted how lucky I am to live a life I chose and maximize it in every possible way. Itās truly a gift, one that thank the universe for everyday that I wake up.š

±ļøosts and I appreciate u... I hope you can find better irl friends who aren't trash
HDSKFJKS I completely understand but lucky for u I LOVE to talk !!
1) How are you?
Pretty good, actually!! Which is a nice change of pace. I went to Walmart with some friends yesterday and got a few things, baked a family recipe that my friends LOVE, and finally did my laundry (itās been a couple weeks we love depression and executive dysfunction dfhkjsfd). I went to Cracker Barrel with some friends and earlier and played a 4-way game of Tetris after. :3c
2) Post a picture of yourself.
Here you go !!
4) What is your entire name?
Sierra Alexis and my last name is something constantly misspelled so Iāll give you the name of a historical figure whose name is a letter off from mine: George B. McClellan, to whom I may or may not be related because last name variations are fuckinā WEIRD.
7) Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think it fits your personality.
Iām a Capricorn sun and moon, and Libra rising !! And from what Iāve read on Twitter from various astrologers, like Milkstrology, I LOVE her, Iād say itās pretty accurate with my personality!! I like to say Capricornās arenāt cold bitches but, I Have A Tendency To Be One !!
8) What did you do on your last birthday?
God what DID I do on my last birthdayā¦ it was in January, so like, I SHOULD rememberā¦ OH I went to IHOP with my friends !! I share a birthday with another friend and I got a JoJo notebook and something called a Fuggler! Theyāre stuffed animals more or less but designed to be āugly.ā I got one that looks like Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty because I LOVE Grittyā¦ heās so fun and funky.
9) What is one thing youād like to accomplish before your next birthday?
Get all my requests in my inbox over on my writing blog done KJHFDJKSF itās been a few months and life has been. Hectic to say the least.
13) If you could change your eye color, would you?
Thereās so much weird as hell brown-eye-phobia so likeā¦ I think blue eyes would be pretty neat. OR PURPLEā¦ give me some unnatural eye colors pls...
18) Do you have any tattoos?
Not yet!! Iām going to get one the next time I go back home for break. :3c And I have a few ideas for other ones!! I wanna get a big-ass āDragon Age: Originsā tattoo thatās the dragon on the cover on my thigh. I also wanna get a DA2 and āInquisitionā tattooā¦ and the Joestar birthmarkā¦ too many ideasā¦Ā
20) Left or right handed?
Right-handed !! I could have been left-handed or ambidextrous if I broke my arm AFTER I started kindergarten, but alas that was before.
26) Something you are working on right now:
This !! But also the script for my next podcast episode that I record on uhhh Monday I think. Should probably figure that one out dsjfjhsf
27) Do you have any ārulesā about food?
I answered that in the last ask !!
29) What would you say is your best quality?
I also answered this in the last ask !!
30) What do you think youāre really good at?
Writing, Iād say! And memorizing trivia about the stuff Iām super into. If itās stuff pertaining to āM*A*S*Hā or old movies or TV shows or actors or specific historical events, I will know that shit FOR LIFE. Donāt ask me to do math pls thank u
32) What talent do you wish youād been born with?
I wish I was able to do stuff with music. That was never really in my blood, despite all the music classes they make you take in elementary school. I just never learned how to memorize or read sheet music. :/ I would have loved to play violin, thoā¦ my friend plays and she says I would have been a good cellist.
39) Do you sleep with a stuffed toy?
YESā¦ have for years. I still have my Care Bear from when I was 5, Gritty as mentioned above, a plush of my schoolās mascot, and a little Fugo !! Heās so tiny.
40) What do you think about the most?
Everything and constantly and all at once. But the past really because I can never let stuff go and even the small things I mess up on haunt me foreverā¦ Wish that wasnāt the case but it is !!
41) Share two habits:
Biting my nails and having a very specific routine in which I get ready when I wake up. Like, Iāve gotta go brush my hair before I put my important cards in my left pocket, then put on my silver bracelet, then my beaded bracelet, then my earbuds in my right pocket, then put my earrings in. I HAVE to do it in that orderā¦
And other oddities that include, like, if I need to go around something I HAVE to follow the urge to go one way and not the other, lest I feel the need to go back and fix it. And then which foot goes first before I reach a crack in the sidewalk, or up or down a curb, etc.
43) What are your career goals?
If I can just make people happy or get some kind of joy out of the things I do, Iād call that enough. :)
44) What is your ideal career?
Mmm, either a film historian or a film professor !! Preferably at the college Iām at right now but wherever the wind takes me, Iāll go! Or a Twitch streamer or YouTuber, it really depends on my mood jdhfjskf
45) Is your life anything like it was two years ago?
It was pretty much the same !! Freshman year was pretty lively, I didnāt have a job on campus yet though, or my podcast. Everything else is basically the same!
46) Do you replay things that have happened in your head?
CONSTANTLYā¦ good or bad itāll play back over and over and over again.
49) Do you have any phobias?
HOO BOY, DO Iā¦ fear of heights; fear of insects/bugs/arachnids/bees/wasps; I have a strong dislike of the number 13 but I donāt know if itās a phobia, I just. REALLY hate it; the unknown, more or less what lurks somewhere beyond where I can see. Not so much a fear of the dark with that one, just what could BE in it.
51) Are you allergic to anything? If so, what?
I answered this in my last ask, as well!
53) Ever come close to death?
Two or three times, maybe? Two of them involved whatās called a laryngospasm, typically it can happen when your sick, which is what happened to me both times. Basically your throat just closes up on your for a hot minute and you canāt breathe. The first time I genuinely thought I was going to die (and my dad still sent me to school that dayā¦ HOE), the second time I was also sick and was losing/had lost my voice DURING A JOB RETREAT and it happened in the middle of the night so that was funny sitting there gasping for breath in the pitch dark.
At the FIRST retreat I went on for that job, you had to take pictures as part of a scavenger hunt, and the place used to be an old military fort, so there were still the old bunkers there. We had to take one on top of it and I was taking the picture, and itās a wide shot so I go to take a step back but before I do I look behind me. If I hadnāt I would have fallen a good 10-15 feet down onto solid Civil War-era bunker concrete. Iād consider that being a āclose to deathā moment because I really could have died!
55) A random fact about yourself:
I have a half-brother !! My sis and I finally found him after her 23andMe results came back (which she decided to do despite us being like THE GOVERNMENT WILL COLLECT OUR DATA) and we didnāt think our mom would be happy she found him but she was !! My sis might reach out and contact him, she just wanted our momās permission first to do it.
56) What are three things most people donāt know about you?
Well, that I have a half-brother. I donāt mention it a lot. Aside from yāall on here and my sister, most everyone else doesnāt know Iām nonbinary! Everyone else knows Iām bi though lmao. And that there were times Iād stretch or bend the truth or lie about something just to impress someone else. Itās aā¦ Bad Habit. Another thing is that most people donāt know I like coffee? Like I need to put a shit ton of creamer in with it because Iām a Bitch, but yeah.
57) An unknown fact about your life:
I wouldnāt call this an āunknownā fact but Iād used to go to work with my dad every now and again when he worked at the Home Depot and he was assistant manager. Iād either chill in the back room which was an office he shared with two other guys, or walk around the store with him. I had my own apron, too, which was my name with āMini Macā next to it, āMacā being my dadās nickname and something easier to say than my last name. I actually helped a few customers out so I wonder if I should have gotten paid for that despite being like, ages 9-13 when Iād go jshfkjd
And I guess I technically tested video games as a kid? Basically, when my dad was stationed at Fort Knox, theyād get demos of video games that hadnāt come out yet to test I suppose? and I still have a few somewhere. Heād hand them off to me and Iād play them so thereās that.
59) Five weird things that you like:
Eating globs of wasabi for no reason.
Scaring my friends also for no reason.
I wouldnāt say using cotton swabs to get wax out of your ears because it feels good is weird, just more medically inadvisable if anything.
When I was younger Iād like to floss really hard because the slight pain from it felt good. Young me was a #Freaque KJHDFJJDHF
I donāt know if being fond of alphabetizing and reorganizing things is considered weird but I LOVE doing that.
63) A quote you try to live by:
āIt matters not how strait the gate, / How charged with punishments the scroll; / I am the master of my fate: / I am the captain of my soul.ā Itās from the poem āInvictusā and the last two lines are what Iām getting tattooed !!
65) Weird things you do when youāre alone:
Practice the āLucky Starā dance. I GOT THE LYRICS DOWNā¦ JUST NEED TO DO THE DANCE NOWā¦
69) Leave me a compliment:
āyou seem rly nice and funny from your š
±ļøosts and I appreciate u... I hope you can find better irl friends who aren't trashā
Anon plsĀ š„ŗ I do my best to be nice but my friend really do test me sometimes... my feelings bounce back n forth like if they do something my feelings can switch to angry or like, hate, and then if they do something nice Iāll like them again. It sucks but ! I just take it one day at a time. Anon I care for uĀ ššš
