ROMANANCING THE ZODIAC
I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO READ THEIR HOROSCOPE DAILY, AND BELIEVE IN IT RELIGOUSLY. I AM NOT A BELIEVER. OCCASIONALLY I WILL LOOK AT MINE TO SEE IF I SHOULD WEAR A HARD HAT OR TAKE AN ETHERAL UMBRELLA. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ROMANCE, I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT THERE ARE WOMEN FROM THREE ZODIACAL SIGNS, THAT I AM NOT COMPATIBLE WITH. THE FIRST IS GEMINI AND KATE WOULD BE MY BEST EXAMPLE. I MET KATE AT A PARTY WHEN MY EGO WAS AS LOW AS THE PROVERBIAL "SNAKES BELLY IN A WAGON RUT" DUE TO SOME REALLY BAD CHOICES THAT I HAD MADE. WE TALKED FOR A WHILE, AND I TOLD HER I WASN'T FEELING MUCH LIKE PARTYING. SHE SAID SHE FELT THE SAME WAY, SO WE DECIDED TO HEAD UP TO THE UNIVERSITY TO SEE AN ART FILM. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE TALKED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WENT OUT FOR A BITE TO EAT. KATE WAS HOPING TO BE A WRITER, AND FROM THE FEW THINGS SHE SHOWED ME, SHE DID HAVE TALENT IN THAT AREA. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A SINGLE MOM LIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND EVERY TIME IT RAINED, WATER WOULD POUR INTO HER KITCHEN. SHE WAS POOR AND DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO REPAIR THE ROOF. WE STARTED BRAINSTORMING, WE BOTH HAD FRIENDS THAT WERE CARPENTERS, AND BOTH AGREED TO HELP. NEXT WE STARTED SCROUNGING FOR MATERIALS. I TOLD MY DAD WHAT WE WERE DOING AND HE WENT AROUND TO LUMBER YARDS AND ENDED UP WITH A TRUCK LOAD OF SHINGLES AND ROOFING PAPER THAT WERE LEFTOVERS FROM JOBS THEY DID. WITH KATE AND I BEING LABORERS AND RICK AND JAN DOING THE ROOFING, WE SOON HAD REPLACED HER ROOF. IT WASN'T ALL THE SAME COLOR SHINGLES BUT SHE WAS DELIGHTED IT DIDN'T RAIN IN ANYMORE. AFTER THIS I WAS EXTREMELY FOND OF KATE AND SHE OF ME. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, LOVE IN BLOOM. BUT NOT SO FAST, THERE WAS ONE PROBLEM. KATE WAS GAY. BUT SHE WAS THINKING MAYBE SHE WAS BISEXUAL. WE SPENT ALOT OF TIME TOGETHER OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, PLATONICALLY OF COURSE. WHEN SPRING CAME I KNEW I HAD TO MOVE OUT OF LAWRENCE, FOR AS LONG AS I WAS THERE I WOULD BE SUCKED INTO THER DRUG CULTURE. I ENDED UP BUYING A 5 ACRE TRACT ABOUT AN HOUR + SOUTH OF LAWRENCE. THE HOUSE HAD BURNED DOWN AND ALL THERE WAS LEFT WAS A LARGE CHICKEN COOP SO I GOT IT VERY CHEAPLY. MY FRIEND KENT, ANOTHER CARPENTER AGREED TO WORK BY THE HOUR TO REMODEL THE CHICKEN COOP INTO A CABIN. KATE CAME DOWN AND THE THREE OF US CONVERTED THE COOP INTO A ONE ROOM CABIN WITH 2 LOFT BEDROOMS. AND KATE STAYED. SHE TOLD ME THAT IF I WOULD BE PATIENT WITH HER I WOULD GET EVERYTHING FROM HER THAT I WANTED, AS SHE KNEW I WAS VOTING FOR BISEXUAL FOR I WOULD LOVE FOR OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GO DEEPER. THIS IS WHERE THE GEMINI TAKES OVER. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, GEMINI IS CALLED THE TWINS, BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO OF THEM. AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES WITH A GEMINI- YES, NO, YES, NO, NO, YES, ETC. EVERY GEMINI I HAVE MET HAS AN EXTREME PROBLEM WITH MAKING UP THEIR MINDS. KATE AND I LIVED TOGETHER IN THE CABIN, FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE, THERE WAS NO INDOOR TOLIET, NO RUNNING WATER, AND NO ELECTRICITY. A WOOD BURNING COOK STOVE, A COLEMAN COOKSTOVE AND COLEMAN LANTERNS FOR LIGHT. I THINK THE ROMANCE OF THE PRIMITIVE LIFESTYLE WORE THIN WITH WINTER COMING, AND KATE MOVED BACK UP TO LAWRENCE. I WOULD HAVE GLADLY LIVED WITH HER PLATONICALLY FOR A LONG TIME, BUT IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE.
THE SECOND ZODIAC SIGN THAT I AM INCOMPATIBLE WITH IS AQUARIAN. THEY HAVE LOFT IDEAS AND LOFTY GOALS, BUT HAVE A HARD TIME KEEPING THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND. I ENJOY THEIR COMPANY, BUT COULD NOT LIVE WITH ONE AGAIN.
THE THIRD SIGN IS WOMEN FROM ANY OTHER ZODIAC SIGN. I THINK THAT I WILL JUST APPRECIATE ALL THE WARM MEMORIES I HAVE SHARED WITH THE WOMEN IN MY LIFE. DOES THAT MEAN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, NO. THERE IS ONE WOMAN WHOM I WOULD HAVE BEEN TEMPTED TO BE UNFAITHFUL TO MY WIFE AND THAT IS ENYA. NO NOT OUT OF LUST, BODIES ARE BODIES, HER MUSIC AND HER VOICE ARE SO MYSTICAL AND SEDUCTIVE, LIKE A SONG FROM AN ENCHANTED FOREST. YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD NOT GO, BUT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO. SO IF YOU SEE HER SEND HER MY WAY.
THIS IS A VIDEO FEATURING HER SONG ONLY TIME, AND A MONTAGE TO SOME OF THE WOMEN THAT CAME AND WENT IN MY LIFE, BUT STAYED IN MY HEART.
