A friend of mine is the Editor-in-Chief of this weekly paper that goes out in the town of Johnston (GS's hometown, might I add...). And we've been talking about me doing a weekly piece as I have some experience with journalism.

She just posted it on my Facebook actually, the horoscopes are going to be very tongue-in-cheek and RI related. It doesn't have to be accurate, but it does have to be entertaining.

She's doing it for a newspaper column.  I doubt she'll be bankrupting any gullible people.  More likely, she's just going to be an "agony aunt" with a gimmick.

Yeah, for certain values of 'Psychic' which (coincidentally) approach 'Crazy'. My bro's in custody for his own protection, and by mom buys 'New Age Crystals and Angels' as her whole reality tunnel (oh, I almost forgot, don't sign' you're name to anything that has your name written in ALL CAPITOL LETTERS or you're recognizing your existence as corporate-property  :fnord:). It kinda sucks not having any actual coherent communication with nearly 50% of your family for years, but at least they're not painting themselves blue, sleeping in the woods, and trying to burn entire Roman garrisons to the ground (What ar' we gaenna do tan'ght, Brian?)....

I had to crack my own head open from shear survival reflex to my fucked up gene pool.

I just finished the first draft. I almost took it seriously and did some research. Then I added words like, "Gansett", "Butler", and "Balls".

I don't want to post them all right now, they'll be released online, but here's a sample:


QuoteCapricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19):

You're feeling like a mind reader and have become your friends' couch shrink, yet you can't even open up to them over a $1.25 pint of Gansett at Balls! Loosen up, already! And take their advice; don't be oversensitive as you can sometimes be. Take it easy and relax. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

It's really not that big of a gig, and the pay isn't much. Maybe if the paper gets circulated more (It just started in June) or they start charging for it will I start making "good" money, but for now it's a fun way to exercise my writing.

It's under speculation at the paper. They're wary about me going too Italian, for my own protection.
