My Telephone Horoscope....

Capricorn~

To understand the major shift taking place, you must look at events from a lofty perspective.  A slow-acting liberation process is gathering momentum.  In the next few months, you will be unable to refuse an opportunity to rid yourself of an oppressive part of your past. You’ll shed your old complexesand emerge renewed. Don’t be alarmed if some family relations suffer as a result; the distress is only temporary.

Ideas...

For a while now I have been wanting to write a series of social commenting essays called Green Apron Politics.  With the economy in distress many inquisitive college educated minds find themselves in positions that require nothing of the degree worked so hard for during the “college years”.  The worlds next generation of artist, inventors, politicians, and doctors are found in jobs centered around coffee, booze, and well just coffee and booze. These individuals work obscene hours to pay the bills in hopes of one day finding” a real job” and continue the pursuit of personal happiness.  What, in my personal experience, I find interesting and baffling is how a college educated person in their mid-twenties is treated by the generation of 28-40 year olds in the communities where businesses are only surviving by the work ethic of the staff.

I will be in fast pursuit of making this series of writings witty and impactful.

bittersweet memories

I recieved my Grandmother’s jewelry box today. Mostly it was emptied with only the items that no other female in my family wanted. It is such a shame to see the things that are left for the forgotten.  Looking through i could see my Grandmother in different memories wearing the various broaches and necklaces that lay inside the wooden chasms of the box. It is a very ominous jewelrry box.  In it are mementos from my Grandmothers life. Not only the jewels but other things, like a box of matches from a bar in Libertyville, and another box with a dried rose bud. My mind wants answers to these momentos but that time has passed since my Grandmother is no longer with us. I wonder if I should  just make up stories about them or find out the non-fiction from my dad.
