I desperately want to believe in horoscopes. I do. Why? Cause sometimes they say the nicest things about a person and compliments are hard to come by these days. Who doesn’t like to hear that he is creative, charming, vivacious, inquisitive? It’s always nice to hear that I need to squeeze some ‘me time’ out of my busy schedule, even if I spend most of my days by myself.
I have a uncle. He was passionate about knowing his future. We always made fun of him as he devotedly bought those annual horoscope magazines every year. It was a common sight to see him consulting with a palmist in his room. But not anymore. After getting married and one kid later, he doesn’t seem that enthusiastic. Maybe married men aren’t supposed to worry about their future – their spouse being their handler and all.
Let’s get back to me. I am not married and I don’t believe in horoscopes. But when you have spent 10 straight hours in front of your pc and wondering what are you going to do the remaining 14 hours of the day. checking out the crystal ball doesn’t seem too bad an idea.
The irony of the predictions is that sometimes they are dead on. And sometimes they are just incredulous. Yesterday, I was asking a crystal ball about my future. Here’s the answers that hit bull’s eye:
- Do people like me as a person? – Not at this time.
- Am I irresistible to girls? – This is unlikely.
- Will I travel a lot in the next year? – Probably not.
- Will I ever get a girlfriend? – NO.
The last one was a bit harsh. However, they weren’t very amusing – at least tell me something I don’t know.
It did tell me something I didn’t know. But I am not going to share them here, cause……they’re a wee bit more personal. And I really want them to come true. Okay, just one.
- Will something amazing happen in the next year? – WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Amen to that!
Merry Christmas everyone!
