518 scary quote

  "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip
  the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
  double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it
  narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever
  pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the
  leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.
  Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by
  patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and
  gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am
  Caesar." -Julius Caesar

    Taurus
    Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
    Don't get upset if people aren't taking you quite as seriously as you
    might like right now, dear Taurus. It is in the nature of the day to
    keep things light and uplifting. Come out of the dark intensity of
    the last couple days and laugh out loud. Don't stress over what you
    don't understand. Go with the flow and keep smiling. You can't go
    wrong as long as you join in with the good cheer and merriment of the
    day.
    
    
    Gemini
    Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
    You might find that something or someone is purposefully trying to
    make things difficult for you, dear Gemini. You are trying to get a
    handle on the issues, but somehow things keep slipping like sand
    through your fingers. Don't force yourself to make any major
    decisions, and certainly don't try to herd people into corners. Let
    others have their freedom, and consider simply riding out the waves
    onto the beach.
    
    
    Skate nite was cool. A guy named Steve came, but left early. I don't
    think he had much fun.
    
    Then Lourdes showed up, very cute & perky & outgoing. I didn't think
    I was going to like her, but she turns out to be very cool. She does
    stained glass too!
    
    Then Lynn & David showed up, very nice couple. David does archery.
    They skate on the Veloway on Sundays (?). David looks a bit like
    Bowie. Lynn looks a bit like Amy Knox, my old boss, but seemed like a
    nice, sane person.
    
    Also, we had Jason, who is not technically 'no kidding', he is a
    regular, he and Lourdes met at a "single volunteers" meeting. He
    skates very well.
    
    We chatted about other upcoming No Kidding events & just had a nice
    visit, nice exercise. Lourdes and I skated & talked. That was fun.
    She's a nice gal. I actually stayed until 10!

  Skate night was GREAT. People actually showed up. I met a guy named
  Steve, he's an electrician and was disappointed that the skating rink
  didn't serve alcohol (hello? huge liability issue!) then he left
  early, and everyone else showed up: Lourdes, who teaches and does
  stained glass as a hobby, Lynn and David, a really gorgeous blonde
  couple. I swear, David looked like Bowie! Also this guy Jason, who
  works for TWC somewhere. Anyhoo...it was a fun time. We visited and
  talked about the other No Kidding events coming up, and just had a
  really nice time. I stayed until closing. Got a great workout. I
  didn't think I'd like Lourdes at first-she's this gorgeous little
  asian gal, very friendly and perky and cute...and you know how much I
  usually get along with people like that. But then we talked about
  Pilates and Yoga and then we hit on the fact that we both do stained
  glass. She also knows how to do fused glass! Way cool. Jason was
  doing all these dance moves on his inline skates, just boppin'
  around, very cute. I had a great time

    Hasn't anyone ever told you that you're artistic?
    Fair enough. Perhaps they haven't. But now that you know, you must
    become one with your inner self.
    
    Virtues: You look for immense creativity and individuality in people,
    including yourself. You're not happy with anything less than
    brilliant, and you focus on being expressive. You value energy,
    liveliness, and upbeat personalities, but you're not supportive of
    moodiness when you yourself can be unreliably moody. Seeking
    activity, you like the bustle of business but need the secluded
    atmosphere of a studio or private corner.
    
    Aspirations: You feel the need to express your talents, whether it be
    through writing, drawing, singing, dancing, composing, performing, or
    photographing. While you strive to ever improve your work, you want
    to display it as soon as possible when your impatience kicks in. You
    want to be a prodigy but you might not have the means right at your
    fingertips. Trust me, do NOT move to New York to do it. Yeesh!
    
    Quirks: Conformists bother you because of their lack of
    individuality. You're often late or unreliable. You're showy and
    refuse to share the spotlight. You only tell little white lies. You
    worm your way into the hearts of others, but be careful; some people
    despise the show-offs.
    
    Factors: Surround yourself with activity and you'll always have
    material to work with. Involve friends and family in your projects so
    they don't feel like envious outsiders.
    
    Future: Show business or not, you'll settle down happily if you're
    among those who appreciate your natural talents and desire to
    perform. Don't stay in one place too long, and don't be too hasty in
    defining your relationships. Who are you to judge what only time will
    tell?
