what i want

is a job that i can leave at the end of the day. one that allows me the time and energy to do the other things that interest me. one that will also pay all the bills and be enough where i don't have to struggle financially. i would like to be able to spend quality time with meagan instead of freaking out and trying to decompress enough to go to sleep. one that is semi-active. i want a more balanced life. i want to be able to address my personal transition. one that gives me full medical, dental and vision benefits. this is my first vocalizing of this in the universe. i am still refining the intentions and desires i want to put out there, but this is a pretty good representation of what i want and also what i need in my life. i am very unhappy and i would like to change that.

perfectly imperfect?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "Hey Rob: I was having trouble finishing my novel -- typical writer's block. So I sidetracked myself into making silly creative projects -- papier-mache chickens, masks made out of junk mail, collages incorporating bottle caps and dryer lint. I can't say any of it is 'art,' but I feel creative again and my house is full of colorful stuff I whipped up myself. If you wait to be perfect, I concluded, you'll never make anything. I tried something I knew I'd be bad at, so failure didn't matter. Now I'm branching out with my inadequacy -- not waiting for Mr. Perfect but having a beer with Joe Flawed, forgetting to be right all the time, admitting that I haven't a clue. I've become smilingly, brilliantly dumb. -Inappropriate Virgo." Dear Inappropriate: Congrats! You're doing exactly what I want to advise all Virgos everywhere to try.

so tired.

tired of work. tired of struggling financially. tired of putting my personal needs on hold. tired of traffic. tired of talking. tired of television. tired of stress. tired of everything.
