FORTUNE
i've been saving my fortune cookie fortunes during the past 5 years that i have lived above a chinese restaurant. i don't order often, usually a vegetarian chow fun on a sunday or tuesday night, just so you know. but, once a week, 52 in a year, 5 years: it's added up, i have quite a pile.
i'm about to embark on a bit of a journey: publishing my thoughts and vision in the form of a magazine, not to mention leaving this place that has been my amazing home through so many memories. feeling overwhelmed and a bit sad, today i needed a little inspiration. so i dipped into the fortune cup to see what i might find. you can use recycled fortunes somewhat like a tarot reading or a horoscope, don't you think? anyway:
1) YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SHAPING UP.
yes, this is true. the magazine. well, at least someone thinks it is important, contrary to all those "deadline missers."
2) A MODEST MAN NEVER TALKS OF HIMSELF.
hmm.. i must be an egomaniac, what with this blog and all. i have yet to be inspired by this fortune thing.
3) SOCIETY PREPARES THE CRIME: THE CRIMINAL COMMITS IT.
ah, this is much better, i take the blame for nothing! and those flowers i consistently steal from the bar around the corner which adorn my home so nicely, well, why worry huh?
4) THE HEART IS WISER THAN THE INTELLECT.
as someone who has been trying NOT to act on the heart (read the random sexual chemistry of relative strangers) and who has therefor not kissed anyone since march-- march goddamnit!!!-- maybe this is a fortune i should heed. perhaps i should get back to listening to my sense of smell and touch much more than trying to find out if i read the same books as someone or whether our career paths are compatible. at least i would get umm... you know.
5) SOMETHING TRULY DELIGHTFUL AWAITS YOU.
well, maybe if i stick with fortune 4, it will be kisses. i like those.
6) KEEP YOUR PLANS SECRET FOR NOW.
shit! i'd better get going ;)
random fact about me: i have rotational sets of always red sheets on my bed. cotton and satin.

really? i thought each one was special and different and meant only for the person who received it ;)
what's funny, or interesting, is that you remember your first fortune.
