SoTD: Beck “No Complaints”

I may have woken up to a fresh coating of snow and sleet on the ground, but I resisted the urge to complain about it. Why? Because tomorrow is April, the best month of the year. April brings us baseball, the first warm touches of spring and birthdays. I know so many people who are April babies like me. I really don’t believe in astrology, but there does seem to me something special about those born under the sign of Aries. We’re the best!

Aries is the first of the zodiac signs. Aries is the sign of the self, people born under this sign strongly project their personalities onto others and can be very self-oriented. Aries tend to venture out into the world and leave impressions on others that they are exciting, vibrant and talkative. Aries tend to live adventurous lives and like to be the center of attention, but rightly so since they are natural, confident leaders. Aries are enthusiastic about their goals and enjoy the thrill of the hunt, “wanting is always better than getting” is a good way to sum it up. Aries are very impulsive and usually do not think before they act – or speak. Too often Aries will say whatever pops into their head and usually end up regretting it later!

That does kind of sound like me and my fellow impatient, impulsive and headstrong rams. I don’t know about that “wanting is always better than getting” part. I’m pretty damn happy when I get what I want. I know the same is true for the other Aries living under my roof. Funny how she always ends up getting what she wants. I don’t know if that has anything to do with astrology or because she’s too damn cute to refuse.

I keep saying I’m going to get back on track and crank out some longer articles, and I’m really setting a goal for myself this week. I’ve been struggling with a lack of creative urges, but it may just take barfing words on a page several times until something comes together. Stay tuned!
