who cares about calendars or signs
Well you’ve got a point there Monooq…afterall…time doesn’t exist because man invented it.
I wasn’t thinkin’ astrology… zodiac and all that…
p.s. I am a “Cancer”, which I think was being changed to “Moon Chid” (which would define me…) or something like that… I can’t remember, it was a long time ago… I don’t see it changed in my internet provider’s little page thing that shows the horoscope, so maybe it was just a rumor…
Although I think astrology is rubbish (besides the smidgeon of astronomy), I do read my horoscope daily… kind of like reading the ridiculous headlines of those newspapers at the check-out while grocery-shopping… to be amused, I suppose.
makes sense to me… I don’t think agriculture is the only thing effected by the sun… besides there being nocturnal animals, there are hibernating animals (more on-topic)… Before living in Arizona, I would get ‘seasonal depression’ (as others) (maybe pre-humans used to hibernate?)… I could keep giving examples, but I’m short on time…
I guess the only good reason to celebrate New Years (or begin the year) in the middle of winter is to distract ourselves from all that death. It’s like thinking of “beginnings” when everything is dead is sort of “heavenish”.
Happy New Year! hahaha
I think horoscopes are rubbish mainly because they “might” apply to you. Horoscopes are about ascertaining the divinitory aspect of astrology. While simple astrology helps you understand more about your true inner self, which Future Man very much embraces to its fullest extent, horoscopes attempt to give you a medium of foresight based on your sign’s personality traits, given actions you might make based on certain situations.
Bingo.
While I agree, I find astrology in mundane babble threads to be more amusing than arguing with Monooqs about Kant in philosophy threads.
In good fun, my man.
Go 2012! End of the world, baby!
I celebrate each successive birthday as my new year. This extra new year just throws me off kilter. Of course, it is a reason to drink, and therefore quite impossible to avoid. It will be an early in for me though considering I have to get up a little past the crack of dawn for my shift down at the sandwich factory. Fuckin’ manager is trying to test me because of recurring problems with tardiness. Old fart trying to discipline me… I really wish he would have had a son so I wouldn’t have to suffer the brunt of his lectures.
I 'spose I’ve celebrated already as I have just returned from a trip up to Wisconsin for my step-sister’s marriage. I’ve been sweating chardonnay all day. It was cool though. I got to dance with some purdy ladies and of course I busted out my breakdancing maneuvers to moisturize all ladies present.
Now I suppose it’s time to plan the evening. I really wish I wasn’t cursed with this excess of brain cells because reducing my noggin’ is really testing my liver.
In Chinese:
Year 2005 is the year of the Rooster.
In chinese calendar it’s the year 4702-4703.
in hebrew calendar the year is 57-- something. i should really check that. but its well over 5500 …top that!
Monooq:
Shouldn’t you be at the…what did you call it, oh yes, ‘bumpin’ ass party?’
What happened? Do a few keg-stands, watch the acorn fall and call it a night?
no sir, i’m not going to be touching another beer for a long time. which is a story that won’t be told here.
i was keeping my parents company. i watched blue collar comedy tour. one guy was hilarious.
How mighty-white of ya.’
Your talking about the dude with the black suit and the scotch, right? Think is name is Ron something. The other two, with the exception of Foxworthy, suck.
no its pretty obvious i’m talking about the dude with the hat, and plaid shirt with the cut off sleeves… the others were jokers.
‘i was on my sister’s farm and her horse broke her leg so i went to go shoot it, and now it has a broken leg and a gun shot wound’ …that guy
I believe 5765 is the number you’re looking for…
That dude sucks. Fuckin’ red-neck with lame ass jokes. The idea is to make a mockery outta the red-neck, not praise him.
Like one of Ron’s jokes:
“I took off from the Flagstaff haircare tire and auto center air-port”
Get it? The place was so suburban they had to fit three businesses into one building.
That’s humor. Not that other fat guy with the trucker cap.
don’t be a smart-allic
(joking)
nah the point is to be a red neck and proud. the other guys didn’t belong. he was the only funny one. the other guys were mediocre.
No, Monooq!
The ‘red-neck’ is the greatest calamity of western civilization.
Now I gotta get to bed.
See yuns tomorrow.
hehehehehe… 
If it makes you feel better, the damn bible code says smallpox will kill 14,000 in the coming year…nice eh?
you have offended me in a way i will never forgive. as a canadian, it is something i aspire to.
small pox will kill my ass …its bird flu that will kill MILLIONS (pinky finger goes to mouth)
