As promised, I said I would post the pictures of random hearts I find when I’m out and about.
This heart was a little stone I noticed on the floor. I just laughed to myself, and a sense of relief came over me.
Sidereal/Tropical? Who Are We?
If you have a love for Astrology, then I’m sure you’ve had your moments of obsession. I’m also sure you’ve had your moments of fatigue after spending hours and hours studying and researching. There’s a vast sea of information available and easily accessible right on the internet.
Interestingly enough, it’s seems like the more you research and understand, the more questions you have. It may take time for some, while others might quickly find certain points that take them deep down the wormhole.
For me personally, it was after I took a long break from the practice that I started questioning our planets role, or lack of role in the system. We live on Earth, and Earth is a Planet, third from the Sun to be exact, but it’s not used. Why? The Earth does rotate around the Sun. Shouldn’t it have a placement in a house.
In astrology we know Planets rule signs, and there were some signs that shared rulers. Saturn for example rules Capricorn, and traditionally it also ruled Aquarius until the discovery of Uranus. How awesome would it be if the Earth ruled a sign? Maybe one day our planet will have an active role in the heavenly used and popular Tropical System that so many of us use.
Speaking of systems, there is another system called Sidereal System. I never studied the Sidereal System, but recently I learned something about it that has me considering a change. In the Sidereal System I noticed the dates of the zodiac signs were different from the Tropical System by a WHOLE MONTH! I don’t know why exactly, but what I do know is the Sidereal System is based on the suns movement through the actual constellations during the year.
If your birth is March 30 then you’ve more than likely always thought you were an Aries. That’s the Tropical System. According to the Sidereal System, you would be a Pisces. This is a major discovery. If Astrology never made sense to you, or you never thought your sign described your actual personality, well, now you know why.
My advice, for those of you who have a sincere interest in astrology is to start reading the other sign. Study it. See if makes sense to you. See if it resonates. Does it better suit your personality and describe who you really are?
This could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
Before ending this article, I wanted to point something out.
I guess maybe I would like to think out loud.
In astrology, there are 360 degrees in the zodiac wheel, and that covers 12 signs throughout the year. (30 degrees in each each house, 12 signs, and 12 houses.)
The year, however, is 365 days.
Is the zodiac wheel missing 5 degrees or 5 days? There are 30 days in April, September, June, and November. February has 28 days, and January, March, May, July, August, October, and December all have 31. That’s 365 days.
The Calendar year could be a perfect 360 degrees if we took one day from January and one day from March and added it to February. Then January through April would have 30 days.
That leaves five extra days, one in May, July, August, October, and December. In order for our year to be perfect we would have to remove the 31st day of those months, and then all the months would be 30 days. 12 months x 30 days= 360 days/degrees.
I guess that’s what they did, but then what if you were born on one of those days that were removed?
Just thinking out loud….
Thank You

Key Win For 76ers
Today was game four for the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets, and it’s starting to look like the 76ers are going to survive and advance from the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
With today’s 112-108 win, the 76ers are up now 3 games to 1 on the Nets. Philly was outscored by 9 points during the first period and Brooklyn was in the lead 33-24. The Nets continued to play well and at half time, they were winning the game 63-57.
The 76ers were down, but definitely not out of it. They hung around and kept the game close. The Nets were winning 91-85 heading into the fourth, but the Spirit of 76 came alive in Philadelphia. The 76ers scored 27 points in the final period and eventually won the game 112-108.
Nets Center, Joel Embiid, lead his team in points (31) and rebounds (16). Forward, Tobias Harris, scored 24 points and had 8 rebounds. Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, at 8:00 p.m.
Thinking and Relaxing
04/18/2019
What’s up eveyone? I hope you’re all doing well.
It’s amazing how life works out. It is a journey, it is mysterious, and if you want, things can come full circle for you. It’s 2019, and I’m waking up in a position I was in when I was 23. This time around things are different though. Its like I’ve been given a second chance to make things right, and set this path straight that I’ve been on now for 16 years.
I was young then, alone, and making one wrong decision after another. I was living for the moment, wreckless, and without a care. I lost. I lost a lot of good friends, a lot of good jobs, and a lot of money.
Eventually, I let it all go with the belief that if I took the time to go within and learn, and keep learning, maybe one day ill come out of it all with clarity and direction. I did.
I’m looking forward to a special future, and I hope someday I can recover what I lost, and those things I let go of, I hope they’ll come back to me.
I don’t hate, I harbor no resentment, and I don’t have any regrets. I’m really excited.
I feel grateful to be in a position where I’m involved actively, while still learning and making sense of the past. Its like living in the past, present, and future all at once. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming, I can’t deny that, but it’s amazing.
Amazing. Yes, that’s what it becomes, and it keeps getting better.
Have a Good Night
Who’s Really The Problem
Example: Your name is Mr. Smith, and Jane is your friend.
Jane: “Mr. Smith is really embarrassing.”
Betty: “Is he? Then why do you hang out with him?”
Is Mr. Smith really embarrassing, or is that just Jane’s perception of Mr. Smith?
If Jane feels embarrassed when she’s out in public with Mr. Smith, then who’s really the problem? Mr. Smith doesn’t feel embarrassed. As a matter of fact, he feels good about himself when he goes out.
Perhaps, instead of passing judgement on Mr. Smith, Jane should just hang out with Betty more, and let Betty hang out with Mr. Smith. Maybe Betty will have a different opinion about Mr. Smith.
Where Foxes Roam
I was absolutely shocked the first time I saw a fox, and I don’t know if it was because I’ve never seen one before, or because I didn’t expect to see one in Pennsylvania.
Is Pennsylvania a state populated with foxes? Is it normal for them to be roaming about here? I don’t know. There’s a park near my house, and that’s the first place I encountered one. It’s a good thing it was a baby because we were close, approximately 15 yards between us, but we were staring into each other’s eyes.
I asked myself, “Is that a fucking fox?” Sure as shit it was. Now they’re running through people’s yards and messing with local pets. The cat and dog population must be terrified. LOL
Today, I was walking, and I saw one lying dead on the side of the road. It’s crazy, but I guess they’re more common than I thought. I hope they don’t mess with my dog Jack. Jack barks loud, but he’s just a little guy.
Variations In Training Routine
What’s up? I can’t believe how popular total body workouts are becoming. I’m not a stranger to the fact that these workouts have been around almost as long as lifting weights has, but the popularity of these workouts change with the needs of those lifting the weights.
Everyone is out for different results, and that’s because we all have different goals. As you know I’ve been training my whole body in a single session, and my workout has been as follows:
Chest- Dumbbell Bench Press: 4 sets @ 16, 14, 12, 8 reps.
Back-Seated Close Grip Rows: 4 sets @ 16, 14, 12, 8 reps.
Shoulders- Seated Strait Bar Press: 4 sets @ 16, 14, 12, 8 reps.
Legs- Squats: 4 sets @ 12, 12, 10, 8 reps.
Tricepts- Close Grip Push Downs: 4 sets @ 25 reps.
Bicepts- Alternating Dumbbell Curls: 4 sets @ 25 reps.
It’s a very basic work, but it’s good, and if it’s preformed at a high intensity, you might puke. I almost did!
I did however, want to introduce a couple of variations that I’m now experimenting with to shock my body a little. Professionals say our bodies can adjust to workouts, which results in minimal gains, so it’s important to keep things fresh. Shit gets stale.
The first thing you can do is change the frequency or time between lifting sessions. If you start things off lifting every Monday, that’s good. Stick with that for a month just to get the ball rolling again. When month two begins, start training once every six days. So that would be Monday, Sunday, Saturday, etc.
When month three begins, change it again to once every five days. If you can get yourself up to once every three days, that’s fantastic. As you close the gaps between training sessions, you can also change the routine.
If you use my workout above as a base to start with, then let’s use chest as our example.
Chest- Dumbbell Bench Press 2 sets @ 16, 14 reps.
Strait Bar Bench Press- 2 set @ 12, 8 reps.
So, as you can see, we’re still doing 4 total sets, but we’re doing two different exercises for the body part. You can do the same thing with Legs, Back, Shoulders, and Arms.
If you want to make it high intensity then check this out.
Start with Dumbbell Bench Press, and do your first set of 16 reps, then immediately, without a resting period, jump to your flat bench (which is already set-up and waiting) for your set of Straight Bar Press @ 12 reps. Rest for 45 seconds to 1 minute, and then repeat. Bam! Chest is done already.
Remember, with total body routines, the focus is muscle strength and endurance. It’s not really a mass-building workout. Think hard and fast. Stay moving.

Have A Wonderful Evening
We Need It
Love is important. It’s important in many ways. I was watching a television show called “Blood Drive,” it was about the state of the world and what was happening in the future, which took place in 1999.
A large corporation pretty much took control, and they were able to clone and robotize human beings. This was just one small portion of the show, but there was a scene when a woman was very robot like and technical, and it was love, and love making that brought her back to her human form…for the most part.
It’s important to feel love, to know love, and to share love, and touch is a basic human need. Touch is a sense. We can show love and share love love in many ways. I can give you a heart, a card, maybe write some type of love-themed poetry to you. I can tell you I love you.
All of that is good, necessary, and perhaps, expected, but nothing can take the place of touch. At some point, all humans will need hugs and kissing. We all need romance and love making.
How are your surroundings? What are the people like around you? Are they serious? Is everyone really tight, and technically speaking? There’s obviously a connection between all of those symptoms, and the depiction of the robotized human, especially technically speaking, technology, and robots. It amounts to serious and stiffness.
Show love. Feel love. Touch. Romance. It’s what makes us caring compassionate humans.
The Devil Is In the Details
The truth, is that signs are all around us. We may not know what they mean, but I can assure you throughout your life there has been a trial of signs following you. You’re making your own life daily. Everyday you wake up and carry on with your plans, you’re allowing it to unfold. You’re creating opportunities and opening doors revealing more and more about the secret-unseen force guiding and supporting you.
The devil is in the details is an old saying many of us are familiar with, and it’s better to just remain familiar with it because in depth, it’s an entanglement. In the end we may look back and think, wow, what have I been doing. The problem arises when we stop to think about “the meaning of life and things.”
Please, don’t take that the wrong way. I’m a spiritual person, and I’m walking my path everyday. Reflection and contemplation are necessary, you just don’t want to get stuck in the awe of it all.
Sometimes, for those of us who are just waking up to this, it can be very very exciting. We want dive in head first and immerse ourselves in research because essentially, we’re waking up to our creativity. We’re understanding that maybe something special does exist. Coincidences aren’t so coincidental anymore. It’s okay to admire. It’s okay to look around and see what dots you can connect because in all actuality that’s part of what the spiritual path is about.
There are companies that have fun with the symbolism, and some use it to mock and slam a joke on the public, but the good thing about symbolism is that the same sign or symbol won’t appeal to every person. At least not in the same way. Some people will look at that advertisement and see nothing more then a pack of cigarettes for $6.66.
Some people will look at that pack of cigarettes and think the price is bad because they’re connecting $6.66 to 666 and then to something cult like or evil and demonic. Other people will look and laugh at it.
Some people might connect the Pyramid to the infamous All-Seeing-Eye and the back of the one dollar bill. There really is an abundance of meaning in symbolism, and professionals or gurus on the subject say the idea or psychological reasoning behind symbols are to wake up the subconscious within us.
When I see 666 it reminds of The Omen, a movie that came out in I think 1980. The main character, whose name was Damien, was a child branded with the number 666 on his scalp making him officially, the Devil. Pyramids make me think of Egypt of course although there are many places besides Egypt that have pyramids. My mind will make the connection between the Pyramids and Egypt and then to the Orion Star Belt, the Dollar Bill, etc.
In reality I’ve never been to Egypt, and although I’ve been known to act devilish at times, I am not the Devil. For me personally those signs or symbols don’t have much meaning, they do however trigger a wide array of thoughts and stimulate creativity and imagination.
There is quite a connection between real living experience and symbolism, but the key is real living experience. Live, and let the story unfold.
Seeing Love
There are so many occasions when I’ll be cleaning, working, walking, or just out and around when I notice these hearts. It’s amazing how often, and what actually makes the shape. The picture on the left is the wire to my headphones. I tossed my headphones on a mattress, and the cord formed a heart. On the right is a smudge of I don’t know what, and it’s been fermenting on my dresser for a while.
A few days ago I decided to use some Pledge wood cleaner on the dresser top and when I looked closely, I saw a crusty heart. lol So funny. A time of love I guess. I’ll post and share the hearts as I see them.
