A True-er Story: By Jeffrey Barbieri

It's 2011. The world is ending in roughly two years from now. Hope everyone enjoyed their second to last New Year's celebration! Another revelation that has come about in this 14-days-old year is that apparently the powers that be (.....God?.....Your local fortune teller?) have determined it necessary to change the zodiac signs, rendering tattoos, facebook apps, and entire life outlooks completely destroyed and useless. Wait a minute people, this was a three THOUSAND year old tradition! Next thing you know, they'll be changing the names of the months, or bringing back the dinosaurs.

Am I still a gemini? Not sure. Not sure I care either. I tried to find out why they could possibly want to do something so catastrophic as changing the zodiac signs, and all I could find is some bullshit about the Earth's rotation and how it changes the dates. Translation: "We are damn sure the world is gonna end soon, so we figured we would mix it up a little bit." So for those of you who always wished they could be represented by a different ethereal mascot, now is your chance. For those of you who changed but didn't want to, there is an easy solution. If they can change the zodiac signs on you like that, certainly you can change your birthday! Heck, celebrate your birthday whenever you want! Wanna try out that weird new zodiac sign they added? All the power to you.

In any case, while I'm here, I'd like to welcome Melissa to the blog. Her contributions will certainly be appreciated going forward.

  1. Thanks for telling us how to feel about things, I don't know what I would do without you now that my horoscope is invalid. Seriously though shut the fuck up about the 2012 bullshit, even as a satire you're doing it wrong. And majorly overusing it.

  2. On the contrary I can take it. That was not me, as perhaps you shouldn't have jumped to an equally hasty conclusion
