My astrological birthchart

This likely isn't interesting to anyone else but me, but if your my friend, give it a quick read-through, and comment, let me know if this sounds like me. Astrology has always been really interesting to me, and every once in a while I'll check out my birthchart on different sites to see how accurate I think they are. I feel like it totally sounds like me, what do you think?

P.S. this is a free birthchart reading, you can get your own done here:

If you get yours done, write a blog with it so I can read it too.

Rising Sign is in 06 Degrees Sagittarius
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times,though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in astraight forward and simple manner -- you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose -- you must be self- directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialize -- your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.


Sun is in 18 Degrees Virgo.

Extremely careful and cautious by nature, you value neatness and order above all else. You rigorously practice very high standards of living and conduct and you demand the same of everyone with whom you come into contact. At times, you are so supercritical that you are merely nit-picky. You are very good at practical skills and quite handy with tools of all kinds. You are also greatly concerned with hygiene, cleanliness and personal health problems. Very likely your health is much better than you think it is -- don't worry so much! Extremely methodical and analytical, you are a perfectionist -- this makes you the perfect person to carry out highly detailed, precise operations. But, at times, you pay so much attention to details that you lose sight of the larger issues.


Moon is in 23 Degrees Pisces.

You have strong feelings and are extremely sensitive. It would help if you had a thicker skin -- you tend to react emotionally to every situation you come across. Kind, gentle and considerate of the feelings of others, you are good at taking care of the sick, wounded and helpless. But you tend to absorb the energy of others -- so avoid those who are always negative. You have a rich, creative and
lively imagination, but you should be careful not to spend all your time daydreaming. Very intuitive, you have good ESP and may be quite clairvoyant or psychic. Remember that you too have the right to get what you want from life. If you are always defensive and kowtowing to others, people will take advantage of you and exploit you.


Mercury is in 00 Degrees Virgo.
Very thorough and efficient, you pay attention to the minor but important details of any project. You are a careful thinker who can learn complicated, intricate techniques. You are attracted to practical, useful skills and are probably good at working with your hands. You are very critical of yourself and others, sometimes too much so, and you get the reputation of being a nag or of being nit-picky. Your first reaction to any situation is to try to organize, classify and analyze everything!


Venus is in 11 Degrees Libra.

A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone. Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities
and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work!


Mars is in 13 Degrees Sagittarius.
Your every action is motivated by high moral standards and ideals. You will work very hard to improve the lot of the world at large, but you demand action about it -- you do not like to just sit around and talk about doing it in an abstract manner. You like to be where the real action is. You resist mightily any attempts to limit your freedom and you will assist anyone who feels put down and restricted. You are extremely restless by nature -- physical exercise is very important to you if you would maintain your health.


Jupiter is in 03 Degrees Capricorn.
You tend to feel that the only results that are worthwhile are the results that are concrete and demonstrable. You distrust abstract solutions and appreciate measurable achievements. An excellent
organizer and planner, you are optimistic as well as practical and realistic about what can and what cannot happen. Very responsible, you consider it a personal weakness to be wrong about anything. This makes you appropriately cautious. You are very efficient but you tend to be cool and detached.


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.


Uranus is in 09 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies
and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.


Neptune is in 28 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued
with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."


Pluto is in 00 Degrees Scorpio.

For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.


N. Node is in 00 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).

Too Unique.

Tonight was a very, very unique night. I had deja vu. Not just any deja vu, it was deja vu that was so pristinely exact... I remember smelling the smells I smelled, the exact facial features of the girl's face I was looking at, after I said the exact phrase I remember saying, during the exact live reggae version of the song I heard, played by a band I have definitely never heard before, in a city I had only been in twice before, in a bar/club am positive I have never once been in before. This astronomically improbable circumstance of events could have never taken place more than once in even a lifetime of someone who does any of these events commonly for any amount of time. I am almost encouraged after witnessing this rare manipulation of circumstance, to assume that there is without a shadow of a doubt, someone or something "pulling the strings" if you may. Call it God, call it "Spontaneous Formulation of Events," call it "Magnificent Absolute Reactionary Theory" or call it pure drunken assumption on my part, but to me, something with so many variables, happening like that more than once, in such a magnificently identical way, alone... proves that if there isn't some god out there, then there must at the very least be some kind of absolute repetitive formula in place that I just so happened to be privileged enough to have caught on to.

But no, this cannot be true, because I am not the only human who has seen this in such vivid purity before, witnessing it formulate in utter exactness of that in which was dreamed of at a previous time and place... sometimes having absolutely no recognition of, until the exact moment or two in which it took place in ones life.

Have you ever asked a question, and not expecting to even get an answer, or any kind acknowledgment or anything... to your amazement and bafflement you get a very exact answer through a short commercial you happen to hear in the background or a sentence you happen to be reading on the back of a novel's description that you happen to glance over and read on the back of the book that the lady in the booth next to you at the dirty spoon you are eating at is reading?

It's these small, SEEMINGLY, random events like this, that happen to me many times a month that truly make me ponder over whether I'm really just "floating through life" or if there is some cosmic RESPONDER to my premonitions...

PS i'm wasted right now.

Irish I had a beer...



The entrepreneurial spirit has stricken again, and this time I've got some fun plans in effect! I'm starting two sites, a cafe-press called "How Humerus" and an Etsy shop at www.forgedbyninjas.com. I know, it's the best .com ever conceived. I only hope I can make equally awesome things to sell on it. I'm teaming up with a few friends of mine who have some awesome ideas, to make some stuff to sell. The cafe-press store will be mainly shirts n stuff, and the etsy will mainly be hand-made stuff, but not quite positive what kind of handmade stuff yet. If you have some sweet handmade stuff you'd like me to sell for you, I'll split the profit 50/50. Just lemme know at Cambiojoe/@/gmail.com.

Goal 1: Get a grip. Goal 2: keep that grip!

A lot of my days lately seem to be blurred by rain trickling down my window.

Mother of F I've been slackin' on my blog lately. I'd like to start off with the fact that my internet connection blows a fatty, and wireless desktop connections can go F themselves. I've been having trouble blogging, or doing anything online lately. I go to work, get home, turn on the computer, and the internet doesn't work for hours at a time, or will for a short while, then stop. I even bought a higher db or whatever antenna on ebay, but it didn't help at all. I think I'm supposed to use the antenna on the actual base station, but the gay Microsoft wireless base station doesn't have removable antennas, but almost EVERY other wireless base station does. Soon however I'll be moving into the basement at my parents house, and have wired cable, and these frustrations shall be a thing of the past. No, I do not care that you know I'm living back with mom and dad, because I know tons of friends of mine who would love to have the opportunity. This'll give me a nice chance to get a few grand saved up, and really focus on some internet money making opportunities I have been itching to work on. Sure, I'll be living the life of a 24 year old total nerd loser living at his parents for a few months, but if that's what it takes to get the money wad a-rollin' then so be it.

I'm so addicted to the internet, I've been kind of lost without it, trying to find useful things to fill my time. I'm planning a total overhaul of my finances among other "to-do's" and this is a goal I actually can see materializing week by week. I've been reading "how to achieve excellent credit" and other money savvy ebooks that I've had nestled away on my computer for times like these, when my internet connection is being a steamy pile of dogshit. Now that I have a job I can stand, income tax return on it's way, and 2 of my cars soon to be sold, my financial woes are quickly dissolving away. It's a wonderful relief, in times like now. I've also been busying myself with other non-internet essential tasks that I've been meaning to handle, such as uploading all my videos to my computer and editing them for later youtubing. I've kind of put my own internet marketing plans on the backburner as I help my friend Ian Delile market the living crap out of his musical abilities, as I've mentioned in previous blog entries. I've been filming him make some music, uploading the vids, editing them, making him a youtube, a myspace, a twitter, anything to help get him noticed. I have faith that he's going to go somewhere in life, and I figure this is a perfect opportunity to try out what marketing knowlege I do have.

Me on the other hand, well, that's kind of where I'm scratching my head. I'm not really sure what I want to do. My sketch of a future plan revolves around going back to college, learning a few new languages, then traveling the world, meeting people in tons of different countries aaaaaand then who knows. That's as far as I've ever gotten. Theres no specific field I know I want to get into yet, I just really like the idea of helping different people communicate. I think that's a pretty solid job in of itself, but it doesn't really have a finish line in it. I think that could be why I'm not pursuing it more actively. The most successful people I imagine can see the finish line, and that's why the push to reach it. I've just got to learn to visualize my finish line, I guess. It's sad that people (myself included) get so "worked" by life, that we eventually forget our most aspired goals, or eventually just become to "busy" to stay on track. Sometimes the only way we can achieve in life is if we believe we can in the first place. The belief alone lays the foundation for success, and the pieces fall into place on their own. I truely believe, that if you want to succeed in something, you need to believe that you can. So in other words, success can be measured in those of us who have perfected the ability to make believe...

If you try to take the remote from my dad while he's asleep, he says a random sentence = FUN!

I have no idea what just happened, Saturn must be making an awkward 90 degree angle with mars or the moon or some weird shit, because I just got seriously paid today, out of the blue. My first paycheck at my job came in the mail (THANK GOD) , then I went and sold some tool bits on craigslist for 40 bucks, then went and sold some copper wire I had also on craigslist, for 30 bucks. I felt like I was on such a role, I decided to pop a few things on ebay while I was at it. If this keeps up I'll be where I want to be financially in about 1 month! I haven't put anything up on ebay in like at least 2 months. (it's hard to find stuff to sell on ebay during the winter. There's no garage sales! And now I work at a storage unit place, Storage One, so that rules out storage unit auctions from any of their 50 wa state monthly auctions! Bummer. Anyone else know any good place to check out swap meets or garage sale type stuff during the winter? I don't bother buying things from thrift stores, unless I can easily tell they are worth reselling. Thrift stores are good however, for searching for college books (a buck a piece!) then poppin em on Amazon.com or ebay.

So I'm slightly struggling back into the originally intended internet marketing scheme of things. I don't remember where, or how I stumbled onto the 30 day challenge, but it's basically a walk through guide on how to take a product, and make your first 10 dollars online with it. It's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. I found out about it like the day before I got hired at my job, and neglected the whole thing until earlier today. I have a lot of catching up to do. Like, 14 days worth! From what I've seen so far, these videos are packed full of good internet marketing knowledge. A lot of things I had already heard about, but some are still new.
I'm thinking about opening a Zazzle. On Zazzle.com you can take any design or idea and sell it on t-shirts, shoes, mugs, mousepads, you know, the norm. I've thought up a few pretty sweet designs in my day though. Kind of along the lines of Katie Kutthroats etsy; Needles & Pins. Ever since I've seen her work, I've been interested in selling my own idea of awesome, plastered all over things...

Free??! I'll take 5.

I have come to realize that true "free" is the new $39.99. When you have something awesome, some useful nugget of knowledge or some bad-ass new product, it really does pay, to give it away for free. And by free I don't mean free, but you have to pay monthly, or free but you have to activate it. I'm not talking about free with purchase, or free after signing someone else up, or free garbage or free brochures or free bowflex dvd. I'm most definitely not talking about the useless or strings attached free, that has corrupted the very words meaning beyond it's original context. See, isn't it sad that your wondering what it is I'm about to try and sell you? No, I'm not selling anything... or giving anything away for free.(at the moment anyways) What I'm talking about is a truly free gift of worth. When was the last time someone honestly gave you something completely free that was actually worth taking? Or even better, when was the last time you gave someone something, or did something really nice, for free, that was appreciated? What about the last time you did something nice for someone, who had no idea you were going to do it, or no idea that you even did do it, without seeking any kind of gratification in return? This kind of thing has been creeping into my thoughts very often lately. I'm not exactly sure why I've been thinking about this stuff, but I like where my mind has been wondering.

Since it's almost valentines day, I'll tell you about an idea I've had floating around in my chamber of secrets for a few months now. Most of the ideas I've had consist of strictly giving things away for free. One of my favorites is about making a website, and on it would be videos of me doing overly romantic things to completely random strangers, and filming their facial expressions. Like leaving a dozen roses on someones car right before they get off of work, or walking up to someone sitting on a bench and handing them a hand written love letter, saying something like "somebody just asked me to hand this to you" then walking off. I want to capture that absolutely stunned "wow someone was thinking of/has a crush on me?" kind of look. I love that look, and I think theres a large audience of people out there who would love to find a place that has lots of videos of people having real romantic things happen to them. I think it's an awesome idea. Of course I would have to somehow find a way to make sure I'm not doing anything romantic for someone who is already in a great relationship. That could probably kinda backfire for the kind of free gift I'm trying to give. But yeah, thats just one of my many silly ideas. What kind of ideas do you have that would be doing a good thing? If you've never really done something nice for someone, and then didn't tell them what you did, you should try it, it feels pretty good, and it's gotta be at least like 1 and a half karma points.

Hey, I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin', but I think unicorns are kick ass!

^Back in the race!^
My new job is a refreshing change of pace. It is good to be back on a schedule, and even better to be working on a paycheck again. I'm working at a storage unit facility. No, it's not the most glorious of jobs, but it's gonna plug that hole in my pocket for now. Since I start working by myself on Sunday, I decided to skip what would have been my days off, for extra days of training, so I've been working 9am to 6pm the last 6 days, in case anyone cares why I used to post daily and now I haven't posted for 5 days. Probably not.




I've been going through all of my old videos, and uploading them onto my computer. Brought back a lot of awesome memories of my fine past, so I decided to start uploading them onto youtube. It's a slow process, and I have a TON of video to upload, but it's gonna be sweet once I have them all up. Along with uploading my own videos, I've also been helping my friend Ian Delile set up an online identity. He's an independent musician friend of mine that I have a lot of faith in. He's definitely going somewhere, if he can get his music out there, so I decided to help him out since he's a little computer illiterate. Check out his blog here, or subscribe to his twitter here and be sure to see what he's all about on his youtube, here


P.S. if you know what movie the title of this blog post is from, you get a 3-pointer.

Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right

"I don’t have any pity for people who think they cannot do something.

We are human and flawed but incredibly saturated with possibility. Each of us. Possibility does not satisfy us, instead we draw invisible lines that we dare not cross for fear of failure, ridicule, or disappointment. So, you hold tight to your dreams, keep them close and wait. What are you waiting for?

Those dreams are yours. Do not fear failure because failure is something you live with. It is not something you live for.

Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right."

This blog post is from here I liked it so much I'm borrowing it in it's entirety.

This plane is deffffff-i-nite-ly crashing!

God I love the Internet. It's usefulness never fails to amaze me. As most of my friends know, I stopped watching television years ago. Because of it, I've missed out on a lot of interesting news about the area and even the world. I just don't watch news, or anything for that matter, on television. Now days with the bachelor islands and the who wants to be a rock of loves it's hard to justify being lazy when television is this meaningless. Well that all changed since I found out how to use twitter. I can hear about all the interesting stuff again, without all the annoying commercials and retarded shows.
I fell asleep really early last night, like around 7PM and was awake, but still just lying in bed with my eyes closed at 5:15AM this morning because I heard my mom rustling around in her room getting ready for the day. I felt my bed shake a little bit. It definitely felt like an earthquake, but it was so quick and subtle I wasn't really sure. I got on my computer and checked my twitter and sure enough, theres already literally around 100 people in the Seattle area twittering about a 4.6 earthquake that just happened! It occurred at 5:25 AM originating from the Kingston area. See how powerful twitter can be? I read once how a man on a plane that was literally sliding down the runway on fire when it's landing gear failed, was twittering about it in real time as it happened! That's just incredible to me. With twitter, I hardly need the commercials, and stupid 20 minute long sets on how walmart is still rolling back prices, that regular news channels put me through in order to find out what is really news. Now days, strait and to the point is becoming more and more worth it's weight in gold in a world where advertisements are being stuffed inbetween every word. It is still at the point however where hardly any of my friends have twitter accounts. But that's not a huge deal, because tons of CEO's video game companies, breaking news sites from around the world, or pretty much any company that your interested in, has a twitter! I suggest anyone to get a twitter, if nothing else, to see what all the hype is about. I think you'll find it's actually an excellent tool! Don't forget to follow me! @Cashmoneysilk
Here's some of the cool twitterers I'm following, that might be interesting to follow:

On another note, I had my first day on the new job today, and it went well. My boss told me she really hopes this works out for me because she's planning on me taking the other boss's spot, after she retires, which will be soon. I hope it works out for me too! Thank you god I'm no longer unemployed!

This is Bob barker reminding you to control the pet population.

I finally just finished Genesis of the bible last night. Man I've been working on that chapter for years. Hopefully now I can finally get to the good stuff. By good stuff I mean non-strict-documentary-like stuff. Half the chapter consisted of Jacob and his ridiculously large 70 person family, and literally every single person that had sex in order for him and his family to come to be. YOU try reading genesis and tell me it's not a hard read! They end it with the beginning of moses, and his burning bush story. It's actually becoming a pretty interesting read. Don't worry people, I'm not turning in to a super religious guy, I just believe every religion should get it's chance to show me whats up, so I've decided to read the entire bible.

In other equally left-field news, it turns out people have actually landed on my blog after searching for Eluda Masun. You all remember him don't you? Heh heh heh. If not go check out Day 18 ( 1-7-09) Yeah, turns out he's still out there trying to scam people with that plan of his. It's sad that I read it actually works a lot of the time. Hell it almost worked on me. Either way, he'll get what's coming to him, I'm sure. Just remember people, if someone on craigslist wants to send you money, or is from out of the country or state, tell em to go shove it. Unless they're willing to call you and talk to you on the phone first, so you can kinda feel them out and make sure they aren't sketch, but I'd still watch out on craiglist y'all.

Today was fairly productive day. I washed my cabriolet, and my explorer, then decided to wash my moms van, because they were so filthy from the snow n stuff. The cabriolet is looking good now, but it got dark fast, so I'll have to take pictures of it tomorrow, to repost it on craigslist. I'm really gonna miss that little car. I secretly really hope I end up keeping it until summertime, then just end up keeping it, because cruising around with the top down and the bass dropping all over the place is just rad like that.After washing cars I went to the gym. Oh man I had such a good workout I almost puked the whole way home. I've never actually gotten to that point before. I'm pretty sure I was really dehydrated there for a while! I need to be drinking a LOT more water. Men's fitness as well as other sources say to drink half your body weight in ounces of water a day. I once kissed a girl who drank that much water daily. Her lips where soft as clouds. I'm not sure if thats what makes me think she was one of the best kissers I've ever kissed or not, but I know it definitely might be, lol.

I've been thinking about starting a video game blog, and a movie blog. Scratch that, I AM starting a video game blog and a movie blog. I think if a movie or game is good enough (or bad enough) it deserves my oppinion to be broadcast. I have movie nights with Cassie, and she knows my movie preferences, and I like almost everything she picks out for me. I wish SHE had a movie blog. I know I'd read it! I really wish more of my friends would write. (ESPECIALLY DAN) I like to read what my friends have to say about different things. It creates conversations and helps me find similarities about them that I like. For instance, if I meet someone new, all I really have to find out more about them by is their myspace or maybe if they have a facebook. (oh yay! you like hello kitty.) It's nice when you meet someone new and they have a blog or something more than a myspace, that I can kind of learn about what they like and who they are, in my extra time instead of just basing everything I know about them off of their 18 pictures of a single drunk night or their corvette background with cool integrated racing gifs.
