I found projects to do.

Upon further reading of Astrology, I found that my Birthday doesn't fall under constellation sagittarius, but rather.. a
Ophiuchus
.

The reasoning behind this change of the 12 sign zodiac to the 13, is that as time passes, the earth tilts, so every few thousand years, the north pole points to a different star. Over the course of time, the tilt has put the constellation Ophiuchus into the Zodiac overlapping parts of Scorpius and Sagittarius.

According some versions of the astrology chart, I am actually a scorpio (birthday falls under constellation scorpius) moving into Ophiuchus.

Traditional astrology still insists that I am a Sagittarian by 6 days, making me a 1st decan sagittarius (If you believe in decanates and dwads, astrology can get pretty precise) making my sun a double sagittarius. Dwads are like decanates except instead of dividing a sign into three smaller signs (same element as the parent sign), the division is by 12, one for each sign of the zodiace. My dwad of the sag sign for my sun is aquarius.

I've taken all planets and angles of my <
chart
and investigates the decanates and dwads.

Either way, no matter which way the astrology has been revised, I have a stellium in the libra/scorpio/sag quadrant of the zodiac, making me a rather unbalanced individual. The only earth elements I have, are located in dwads (internal resources) of some of my planets. (virgo aspects of my leo ascendant and some other planet, got a few virgo dwads.)

browsing along, I found a website that talked about the characteristics of a person born on my birthday.

In light of all this information, it appears that the new hero to represent my aspirations shall be... represented by Aeschylus aka Ophiuchus, rather than Chiron emmissary of sagittarius. I'd back down and say I'm a scorpio, but.. then again, everyone wants to be them. They're intense and make great loves in bed! I'd rather be "different". Besides, Ophiuchus' occupation (for which he was struck down for), was being a brilliant healer. I aspire to be a good doctor, and can feel it in my bones that it is a fulfilling occupation for me.

On a tangent, I found that my bicycle may be shipped for a nominal price that tops out at 40. Decided that it's a good idea to not bring it to Austin. Best to keep things as simple as possible, regardless of the convenience it might provide.

RAID arrays are fascinating. You can daisy chain multiple media storage units to provide unparalleled speed and reliability. Here is a guide on making one. The cool thing about raid is that it will take the task of writing to your HD off your CPU's tasklist. That is handled by a scsi controller, which has enough cache to quee many commands so that there doesn't need to be as much talk across the cable. Once the scsi gets what it needs out of the drives which has it's own caches to queue commands.. it sends it all to the memory, which your CPU transfers to it's own cache of super high speed memory, into it's internal memory (called registers), where it pushes and pops bits and bytes, which down many times a second, will end up as your computing experience of.. listening to music, watching youtube, surfing pr0n.

Raid, amazing.

Lastly, some youtube videos.

Find me a good telescope. Good Earphones. I'll make the speakers. I still want a guitar. My basketball wants to go through hoops.

But all in all, none of that matters. I really want to get to where I don't worry about my parents, and money. That can't be too hard. I just have to want to, hard enough.

little salt makes coffee taste sweeter. Anchovies make spaghetti sauce meatier. Perfect espresso will be made with Illy coffee and 7lbs/in^2 of pressure while tamping, and a 10bar steam compressor. pee has many many applications, just don't tell people or they'll think you're weird.

School requires book knowledge. Study only to get the grades, nobody cares if you know the material, though it will make you more confident as you age.

I find no greater joy than proselytizing the lost. I need to learn to let go, and what the world "humble" really means.
