I'm sure many of my followers (or those who at least still care) are wondering why I haven't posted a yearly Chinese calendar and horoscope yet (seeing as the new year started back on February 19). This delay is largely do to my personal life taking a bigger role of importance over my studies. While I never fully stopped my research into bettering my understanding of astrology and metaphysics, things have lessened my free time to devote to such things. Aside from the lack of free time, I've also not felt the strong artistic inspiration to write with the passion I love to put into these things and anything else I write. While I could push out a full calendar with relative ease, it would not have the poetic soul or flavor that would allow it to breath and flow with a life of its own. My passion is not dead as I have had it strike me hard at numerous times through the past year (as I planned for even larger and legit calendar/book publishing projects) but these moments of passion to write where never when I had time to actually write.

I am not abandoning these astrology projects nor am I abandoning it for this year. When I'm with more free time and I've regained my muse I'll be returning to do these for future years and even fill in the one missing for this year. If anyone who reads this is still interested in what this year is likely to hold for them I'll still give a brief break down of it in the form of a short or standard length paragraph but it'll likely read as dry and analytical (unless I feel creativity creep back for the moment). If people are interested I may even write a horoscope only version of the calendar without all of the data listing for each month and day. Something like that would be easier to post and most people seem to care little about the full analytics of it all and just want to read something new and interesting about how the coming year is likely to turn out.

If you're truly wanting to know your horoscope outlook for this year as it is outlines in the Chinese horoscope, please leave a comment or send me a message on this or other sites where I can be found. I'll get back to you as soon as I can with a response and the horoscope.

A week ago I did not exist, and seven days later I am now an old man.

There is more to perception and experience than people are being told about. What is being taught and is most often perceived is known as the laws or principles of physics. These are simple concepts such as motion and interaction with gravity. Some are even attempting to take it beyond with the invention of quantum physics. But these modes of understanding reality are locked into the third dimension, or physical reality. Physics is only part of the equation of life yet is holding us back from a more experiential existence. We are prisoners to it, so long as we continue to adhere to it. We are like sheep, penned in by the fence of physics; that thing which tells up where we can go. But like sheep in a pen, we see what is on the other side of this short fence. We know there is more beyond and wonder how do we get to it. Some of us have attempted to climb the fence and failed, while others have made it to the other side only to be corralled back inside their former confines. Many of us have glimpsed and experienced what lies beyond physics yet not known that we have done so. It is the stuff dreams are made up, the ambitions of tomorrow, that which allows us to savor every nuance of a moment as if time stood still. Every miracle, ambition, revelation, dream, and vision that has been felt is a part of what lies beyond the limitations of physics. Some people will inevitably learn the secret and as a sheep figures out how to get outside it's holding, others will see, learn, and follow. Open the mind to wonder and the limits begin to erode while the possibilities proceed to appear.

This is an excerpt from a message I wrote to a friend. We've been having various dialogues about our place in life and how well off (or not) we have been. After watching a Simpson's writers reunion video on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtJ28qOEG1g ) I had been reminded of something I saw in a book many years ago and seem to forget from time to time; a secret to life, some might say. I figured I'd leave the message here since it can be very helpful to know this when perusing your own path in life.

---

....also, something that struck me in this was a remark that (paraphrased) "working on the show felt like pulling a big ore to propel a boat forward." This emphasizing a feeling of a lot of effort being put into something tremendous. I see a message in this about how we go about our lives.

We put a lot of effort into grooming ourselves to live the best life, thinking that there's always more we need to do. That somehow we've failed to meet some unknowable expectation of what we want or what others want and this is truly the case. One does not go through life, today, without having to pull their own weight in some way. We still must feed ourselves and take care of our own wants and needs, but pulling the ore that propels the boat is often the subtle distracting element/phase that keeps you from seeing what's in the boat with you and where the boat is. Just as the writer of The Simpsons (I think Conan) thought that working for the show was simply working and not playing. He also emphasized that he was pulling the ore while laughing and crying from laughter.

There are always people with you on your boat but it's how you perceive them that changes the work of life into play. You and me (and likely others) get hounded and annoyed by the stressful and annoying things brought about by people in the furry fandom (and other aspects of life) and we simply brush those people off as having been stupid or mean spirited. While some simply are mean, plenty of those other people who do things that irritate us (like make mention of a rumor or stop talking) simply aren't aware of the impact of their actions. Their thoughts are on other things or think more casually of the subject of that particular action. They cannot be held to fault for not knowing and in many ways, having less of a thought is more pure than having a thought. Such is one of the purposes of meditation (as you already know).

By them not knowing and us thinking they know, we are perpetuating a cycle of harmful inner-thoughts that reflects to and of our ego; thus, changing our perception of the people in our boat from friends into conspiring entities. This is part of what it means to create our own reality and it is happening like this to nearly everyone (including myself). But if we take some time to meditate on some of these things that take our emotions and twist them around, trying to not only understand them from a different perspective, but come to peace with them (through understanding) then we can let go of whatever guilt, sorrow, paranoia, or any other form our internal anguish has taken hold of our lives and acquire the purity of innocence that allows us to see that the crew of the ship is not a bunch of dirty, knife wielding, thugs on an oil tanker waiting for you to drop your guard, but just a bunch of random people trying to enjoy their vacation on a cruise liner, interspersed with friendly and helpful shipmates.

Try meditating deeply on some of your feelings and see where it leads you. This is the first step and core principal of facing your inner shadow. When done to completion it can really change your perspective and improve your quality of life.

The methodic approach to constraint in the scholastic system is inhibiting growth in favor of slavery. When you present the student with the material and knowledge, they will feel their own desire to utilize it or turn their attention toward something of greater interest. By following this method, we can leave behind the concept of "mind molding" and realize the concept of "mind expansion."

All emotions are good emotions. When one has realized this, sadness no longer feels heavy nor does it pain.

Rewards are not what society has led us to believe they are. Rewards are the emotional releases upon meeting with friends, having fun, or being sad; the gratification of accomplishment and meeting a goal. Materialism is not a reward, but a burden.

So what are the big differences between Weasily and FA? i'm curious about joining it as a separate base of operations in case this accounts gets slammed for something (who knows what an admin might cook up). i've looked around weasily profiles to see the layout and i'm thinking they allow some art postings that FA doesn't. does anyone know the real big differences in TOS between the sites?

Mental acuity, not intellect, distinguishes a guru’s wisdom from a scholar’s knowledge.

With clear mind and relaxed body, one is ready for anything.

Bad memories are a gift to remind us how not to live and to keep us from repeating mistakes.

I've been looking for a person on FA (or other site) who can make some custom plushies for me but i'm having a hard time finding people who can do work that looks like it could withstand the test of time and is more appealing than a rag doll. I had found someone on FA a year ago but didn't have money to commission them and have since lost track of this person. I know there are some other skilled plush crafters on FA but can't seem to find them either. Could who ever reads this suggest some people who do plush commissions?

So I'm trying to get rid of the more than 15,000 unviewed art updates I've accumulated in the past 3 or 4 months (was way to busy to check them) and I've discovered something horribly shocking. The "Nuke" button has become debilitated. I received this message while attempting to nuke my backlog of art updates;

The "Nuke all submissions" feature can only remove 3000 notifications at a time.
Press "Refresh" or F5 to remove the next 3000 notifications.
Submission notifications remaining: 9093

WTF?! What is the point of having a button that says "Nuke" on it if it won't actually "NUKE!!!!!!" This is a serious problem that FA should but probably won't fix. How long has the Nuke button been Debuffed like this?

Found this college survey on IB and figured i'd pass it along here. it's short and asks some good questions. Checkout the journal on Inkbunny for more details on it. You don't need to be a member of IB to actually take the survey.

Yesterday, at 11pm, began the cycle of the new moon; and with it, the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. The Dragon is the fifth animal of the Chinese zodiac and is the symbol of divinity among the twelve animals. The Dragon is the Yang wood animal and is associated with the direction of East, the season of spring, the lunar cycle of the new moon, windy weather, the color of green, the sense of smell, and the body’s Liver. This current year of the Chinese Lunar Calendar is of the Water element and is associated with the direction of the South, the season of Winter, the lunar cycle of the last quarter moon, cold weather, the color of blue, the sense of sight, and the body’s kidneys. This year of the Dragon has two Li Chun; the Eyes of Spring. This makes it a very auspicious year and one that is bright with good fortune for things like planed events and goals.

To be born in this year will grant Dragons the persuasive heart of yang water. While the aspects of yin for water are that of a calm sea gently eroding the shoreline, the yang of water is like a powerful river that cuts a path down a mountain’s slop. Water is the strengthening element for wood and acts as its source of nourishment for the plant that is growing, but too much water can drown any plant no mater its size. Dragons imbued with the qualities of yang water will have the persistence of persuasion and a calm mind ambitious mind. They can be very outspoken and opinionated but are calm enough to know when to listen to others and will normally not seek conflict with others simply out of spite of differing opinions. This strong yet subdued quality will also give them the appearance of being in charge and sure of action when viewed by others. The Dragon is a very daunting and ambitious animal that has high sought hopes and goals in life as well as the strength and tenacity to pursue and achieve them. The pleasant qualities of water and how it adds to the Dragon will make it even more calm, sophisticated, and charismatically charming than most dragons which will help it maintain relationships that their strong attitude would likely have driven away. But the Dragon will have to be careful to not overextend itself or it will lose its composure in maintaining activity as well as its life pursuits.

Combined with the yang wood aspects of having full and grown branches and sturdy trunk, the Dagon of this year will be very active with their interests and want to try their hand at everything that catches their interest. They will prefer to dive right into things and let their heart’s desire lead them into new and exciting territories. Yang wood is like an evergreen tree that never loses its color even in the depths of winter and is equally symbolic of the Dragon’s strength of character. Yang wood can also be symbolized by a flower in a vase. While the flower has been cut from and separated from its base the vase holds the water that will help to nourish the plant and sustain its life. The Dragon is an animal that sometimes does not know the limits of its own power and can outreach and overburden itself. It does not do well in situation where intellect and a keep mind are necessary. Just like a tree with its branches burdened by the stress of the wind and animals the Dragon will break when set in these uncomfortable situations, but water brings the qualities of intellect and calms even the most frenzied of hearts just as it revitalizes even a branch separated from the stem. If the Dragon holds water close to its character than it should have little to fear in life’s unpredictable and complex events.

To those already born, be aware of how your own elements react with water. Always remember that there is balance in all things, including the elements. The five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth all react with each other in positive and negative ways. There is also a cycle of interaction for what elements strengthen each other and which elements hinder each other. Starting with the pattern of strength: from metal you get water (metal taking the form of a cup from which water is poured as well as metals initial state being liquid when heated by fire), from water you get wood (wood is like a plant that is nourished by flowing water and falling rain), from wood you get fire (fire cannot burn without the aid of something like wood to provide substance), from fire you get earth (all things burned by fire are turned to ash that becomes part of the earth), and from earth you get metal (the earth being the home of metal before it is dug up).

When viewing the elements and their pattern of hindrance you will find that: metal is controlled by fire (fire will melt metal and return it to a form that can be shaped and molded), fire is controlled by water (nothing extinguishes fire faster than water), water is controlled by earth( the earth absorbs water and helps to contain it for plants or direct it’s flow like a river), earth is controlled by wood (the roots of a tree dig into the soil and acquire a firm grasp, as well as break apart solid stone), and wood is controlled by metal (metal blades can cut a wooden tree branch or shape a piece of lumber).

While these are the elements initial flow of control and being controlled, the elements can interact with each other in other ways. Water may be absorbed by earth, but the earth has its limits and eventually will flood and form a lake, as well as water’s ability to erode the earth and carve its own path through a mountain. Earth can also extinguish fire by smothering it, while fire can break boulders if hot enough. Wood can harden and dull the metal blade that would cut it. And metal can take a multitude of forms, from which it can do many things (like digging and moving the earth, holding water, or capping a flame). There is an endless list of ways in which the elements interact with each other. Be aware at how your elements interact with the element of this year; water.

Along with understanding elemental relationships, someone living in this year should also take notice of how their own animal signs relate with the Dragon. The Dragon is a very active animal and one to seek action. They are can be very upsetting and stubborn at times as is their strong will of determination. Dragons tend to be very passionate about their goals and may seem overzealous but they are not tyrants and simply seek to prove their existence and seek the warmth of appreciation and recognition; love. The Dragon is an animal that is deeper in character than first impressions generally give yet can be summed up in few words. They may seem dominative but they can be great leaders and are the ultimate symbol of strength, conviction, and desire; their character cannot be judged as anything less than the most sought after of poetic heroes and things of the most respected and told sagas.

Animals like the Dog who are very stalwart and restrained will not mix well with the Dragon and thus do poorly in this year unless they can accept some situations as being out of their control and learn to take less of an ethical approach to conflicts that might otherwise call for deliberate contemplation; hasty action is sometimes needed. The clever and shrewd Rat will get along well with the Dragon’s confident and opinionated nature; expect a Rat to do just fine so long as its elements are not in conflict with those of the year. The twelve animals all behave differently and mix in various ways; just as the elements do. Even though Dragons tend to not get along with other Dragons, they can still team up when necessary to achieve likeminded goals. Even if a person’s animal signs are at odds with the animal of the current year, they can still sometimes get along if there is agreement and understanding. Be aware of how your own animal signs relate with this year’s animal; the Dragon.




Here is a list of the months in the Chinese lunar calendar as they match up to dates in the Gregorian calendar used in modern European type societies. Each month is assigned an animal in the same way that each year, day, and two hour segment is assigned an animal. There are also twenty four solar terms that mark the sun at its 15 and 30 longitudinal degree segments. These solar terms are identified as Sectional Terms that mark each 15 degree segment, and Principal Terms that mark every 30 degree segment. Each solar term also marks a special seasonal event. Please note that the months and terms at the end of the list are carrying over into January of the year 2013 in the Gregorian calendar. Also, take note of the occurrence of a second 4th month. This is an extra month that is added every twenty-nine months to readjust the lunar calendar to the solar calendar due to a shortage of days in the lunar calendar when compared to the solar calendar. The extra month always mirrors the month before it.

Here is a listing of the 384 days in this year’s lunar calendar. Each day, month, and fire two hour segment is marked with the corresponding element and animal that is representing it. The elements and animals are assigned a prescribed pattern. The pattern of the animals is: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. The pattern of the Elements is Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. The Yin and Yang quality of the element for the month or day (as well as year and hour) never has Yang or Yin twice in a row and as well as matches the Yin or Yang quality of the given animal for that day, month, year, or hour. This cyclical pattern has been in effect since the first day it was used 4710 years ago, in the sixty-first year of the reign of Emperor Huang Ti.

Use this list of the days, months, and hours to help plan ahead and understand what times of the year you are likely to do well in and what times of the year you are likely to do bad in. Understand that no matter how bad a day is in conjunction with your own elements and animals, it is always possible to change your approach to the given day or month just as an element that would be controlled by another can change to meet the situation and alter its circumstance.

*Note: I am only listing the element and animal of the first hour of each day instead of all of them. This is to save space and maintain the ease of flow for the chart. If you would like to calculate the animals and elements for each hour then continue to follow the flow of the pattern for the elements and animals (if the first hour is Yang Water/Rat, than the next hour for that day will be Yin Water Ox). Also, the Chinese lunar calendar only has 12 hours in a day. Each of these hours equals 2 hours in the Gregorian calendar (our modern time set). Also, the Chinese day starts at what would be the last hour of the previous day in the Gregorian calendar. So, if the first day of the lunar calendar is listed as January 23, than the first hour of that day is actually starting at 11pm (23:00) on January 22 and ends at 1am on January 23.

When one strives for friendship they will often find only empty shells. It is when we are not searching that we find what we are looking for.

Ugliness is but an alternate state of the form of beauty. It only need be examined from all sides to reveal its true nature, potential, and splendor.

When humility is met with humility, it breeds compassion. Friendship is born when two people understand each other and exist on the same wavelength.

Here is a list of the Anime, Manga, and similar books that i have in my collection. I hope to someday do an total inventory of all my u.s. comics but that will have to wait till i can get to them since they are stored at my fathers house in Michigan and i now live in another state. That list will likely be as long as both of these combined. perhaps i should include some of my card collection as well.
