I was introduced to this video yesterday and I do agree with some of its staple statements. I'm not sure, however, that deflation is good for the economy ultimately, but they bring some valid points. Check it:

Pay attention to your surroundings
Call me easily entertained, but I find the simple parts of living in NYC to be the most entertaining. I ran a couple errands this morning, all of which were within a 10 block radius, and encountered:
1) A newer pair of men's dress shoes with a flower delivery receipt just chilling on the sidewalk. It's astounding how little phases we city-dwellers! I was the only one who looked twice, then decided to snap a photo to share with you.

I'm having a hard time connecting these two.
2) A woman was trying on hats at at a street setup and asked the vendor if the hats were all 'one size fits all'. He responded without skipping a beat, "Well, they are all one size, but that doesn't mean they fit all."
How's that for an honest answer? So funny.
Ok, ok....
I hopped on the Tony Robbins bandwagon.
"When you're fighting something beyond your control, remember that the bamboo which bends is stronger than the oak which resists."
- Japanese proverb (reminded of a la Tony Robbins)

You know that saying....
"Give me a reason, not a choice."?
Some people should really give that further thought. Who responds well to ultimatums? Not me.
Just sayin'.

Just in case you wanted to know too much about me
I did a little digging on my astro-analysis chart and was amused at how accurate it is. Here's a tidbit on what my chart said:
December 18 1983
1:00 PM Time Zone is CST
Cape Girardeau, MO
Rising Sign is in 19 Degrees Aries
You are a free spirit and you must be first at everything you do. Very energetic, self-assertive and active, things must be done your way. Even though you may feel calm and serene on the inside, you certainly do not act that way. You want to do everything full-tilt, 100 miles per hour! A great competitor, but a poor cooperator -- you must learn how to lose more gracefully. Very self-confident, ambitious and passionate, you radiate positive energy. You are blunt and direct, but at times unfeeling and tactless, especially if anyone offers you any resistance. You fight for your beliefs, but your tendency to act first and think later often causes you much grief.
Sun is in 26 Degrees Sagittarius.
Very fun-loving, spirited and energetic, you have a huge reservoir of physical energy within you that needs to be released. As such, exercise or sports are very important to you. Quite gregarious, you enjoy being with other people, but you tend to avoid emotionally restrictive or intimate relationships. Constantly curious about the broader issues of life, you may at times be quite careless and sloppy about details -- you tend to leap to conclusions before all the facts are in. An avid reader, you are totally enthusiastic about any given subject should it interest you. You are known for being idealistic, generous, sociable, cheerful and very positive!
Moon is in 09 Degrees Gemini.
Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment -- your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. A good jack-of-all-trades, you have many- sided interests and enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression - - you can be a nonstop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.
Venus is in 14 Degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively if you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so -- you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you -- this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.
Jupiter is in 22 Degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right -- be tolerant, not dogmatic.
Saturn is in 12 Degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released -- your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.
N. Node is in 15 Degrees Gemini.
You will consciously seek out many different contacts with others throughout your life. Many of these will be of very short duration, not necessarily because you're fickle, but just because you always seem to be more excited by the prospect of meeting someone new rather than prolonging your present relationships. At any rate, you will learn something new from almost everyone you come across -- intellectual stimulation is what you crave from others. You will be well known to neighbors and relatives, partly due to your curiosity about what they're doing -- you delight in keeping up-to-date about the latest news (and gossip).

Bye Bye Blondie!
After a couple months of hardcore debate, I pulled this trigger yesterday. Being a blondie was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the run, but the return of rocking my brunette locks was a good idea. I find it flattering and I feel fresh.
Ill post some before and after manana! In the meantime...
