On Fortune Telling
August 31, 2006 | Category: Reflections & Musings
What would you do when you have a man who’s had countless jugs beer, dim lights and being half sober yourself telling you about your future?
Laugh? Roll your eyes? Go huh?
I for one am never a believer of fortune telling, and I mean never. I’ve been told and heard many stories of fortune telling and I wonder what would posses a person into wanting to know their future when one could live life as if it was our last day on this god-forsaken earth.
When I was in school (and that was a very long time ago), every once awhile classmates would come up with this unrealistic fortune telling games. From card games to this fortune telling number if you would somehow end up with the crush you’ve been dying you meet. During the teenage years, anyone would believe in all this bullshit and it will eventually get into your head. You will start to hallucinate that your crush was giving you the tongue that when you wake up you find your dog licking your face.
In reality, God gave us a life he has planned out for all of us and why in the hell would we want to screw that up. Why is wanting to know if you will be married, having three kids and a dream home so important? Why can’t we all embrace the life that’s been given to us regardless if we had a shitty day or a wrecked home or even a good life?
I have nothing against fortune tellers and I know they’re only trying to make a living. Despite being such a cynic when it comes to my own personal experiences, never would I want anyone to psycho analyze me to change in anyway the life I have today or even in future. Stories people tell me about their experiences with fortune tellers, telling them how their lives were and will be. If you believe in fate, why don’t you just let nature takes its course, be it good or bad. Afterall, whatever we do in life is for us to learn from it.
Once it gets into your head, you’ll be haunted at that thought of whether it would be the right choice and you might just end up somewhere one never ever wants to be…the assylum. Although truthfully I’ve yet to hear a story of one going cockoo just because they had their fortunes told.
Astrology and feng shui are perfect examples, and believe me…I was very into it years back. Until some blood sucking money minded shit decided to make money of us and making us think that if we don’t buy that certain ammulate, our live’s will be over (I’m refering to feng shui btw). That’s completely and utterly bullshit…and that my dear ladies and gentlemen was what made me become the sceptic I am today. As for astrology, I believe there is some truth in it and I admit I do occassionally check out that little column in the newspaper every now and then. Still, I’m taking everything in just with a little less pinch of salt….just to make myself feel a little better (or worse).
Whatever it is, it’s not my place to tell anyone whether they should or shouldn’t have their fortune’s told. It’s your life and you lead it the way you want it to be.
So, does anyone want their fortune’s told? I know a very drunk man who’s an expert….

Follow the journey of my everyday through my eyes with the occasional diarrhea of thoughts. Pins and needles of life. Joys & heartaches of finding my happy ever after and all the other yadas.

on September 1st, 2006Fortune telling, a simple, simple deed, a dream of happiness inside is just what we all need.
It’s an icon of perfection cast upon the wall where we try to reach the point of idol until the very day we fall.
Why live as a copy of what’s already done? When you can prove yourself as you and show you’ve really won. Our dreams of this fortune telling, will soon come crashing down.
Desire is the drug of life not pot or meth or speed. Desire kills what most cannot, without the notice of what we need.
Our icons lead desire, controlling our very minds. Slow is the process that kills us all through our very souls it winds.
If you dream of this fortune, just know you shouldn’t so. The drug is inside us all although it doesn’t show.
