Retrograde @ MindSay 
Some several or a few years back I coined the word "fudking" [gogoogleit]. It is, actually and with intent, a dynamic acronym with each letter being open to representation of different descriptive words or adjectives.
You see: fascist foolish foppish fraudulent fucking unpatriotic uneducated uncaring dumb-ass despotic demonic dangerous dispiccable know-nothing knuckle-headed kind-less knee-jerk ignorant imbecilic neoconservative ghoulish Godless goon etc, etc, etc. Ya see?
Fudker: fascist unpatriotic despotic knee-jerk egregious Republican etc, etc. Ya see?
Sincerely in pursuit of happiness and freedom from insane fascist retrograde tyranny in AUSPONA [gogoogleit].

Back home in Tecumseh, Michigan; in Lenawee County I am know for being "different" and, therefore, dangerous.
I have been evicted from McDonald's, WalMart, Meijers, my alma martre Siena Heights University, from my polling place during the 2004 vote for attaching a small "American flag" to my sweatshirt that stated "Voting Is For Brave People". For the offense of pursuing my happiness these things happened to me.
Ya wanna see the videos. I got 'em. No falsification here. I have them back in AUSPONA.
I have been openly surveiled by the Adrian Police Department for the offence of carrying a Kerry For President sign while walking my dog down Main street.
Further, two Lenawee County Sheriff patrol cruisers, yes two cruisers with lights flashing [no sirens, though] once pulled me over [got the video] and detained me to ask me why I staged a one-person picket line on public property to protest in front of a business because that business was proud to advertise on WABJ Radio where Rush Limbaugh was at the top of its' programing.
When I was allowed to resume my ligitimate right to pursue my happiness and freedom of speech and expression it was done with the assurance, from Deputy McCrate, that I had every right to do what I was doing.
I told him of my knowledge that I had that right and, if I did not say it I was surely thinking: What ta fuck are you stopping me for, why impede my pursuit of happiness being conducted in a lawful manner to tell me I had the right to do what I was doing? Why?
Back home, in my beloved Michigan in AUSPONA, I will most certainly be openly and aggressively called an ignorant and unpatriotic creep. So, my MINDSAY friends, I am looking to and counting on you to help me face the gauntlet I must and am willing to run. The crucible of retrograde imbecilic Republicanism, of fascism in southern Michigan is really quite daunting and not, in fact, of just Republican political stripe.
Some of the hardest political fights I will face will be from the old-line Democrat leadership both local and statewide. I include both the Michigan senators, Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow as, in the least, Republican fascists enablers.
You have been and will continue to be some salve for some of my emotional wounds. The prime reason for my return to AUSPONA is to work actively and aggressively to see to the ligitimate inauguration of The Brave Sen. Barack Obama as its' next duly elected president.
Sincerely in pursuit of happiness and freedom from insane fudking retrograde tyranny of whatever political stripe,

So what does it mean astrologically? Well Mercury is traditionally the ruler of communication. It can bring frustration blockages and the likes to us all especially the signs that Mercury rules, Gemini and Virgo. However it can also bring it to the other signs of the zodiac too. Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; breakdowns in communication between friends, breakdowns of technology etc etc. However on the flip side there is evidence to say that paranormal contact is enhanced during this period. I have an open mind but it does seem to me that this is very familiar ground to me, I’ve been looking at the other periods over the last 2 years and each time I have felt like I am hitting my head against a brick wall as I do now over certain matters.
Anyway for further stuff visit this excellent description. http://www.astrologycom.com/mercret.html and all I will say is roll on the 25th when I hope to the Gods things start to go back to normal!
This got me thinking about me so I went to my favourite astrology site http://www.cainer.com and found out what my astrological chart looks like. Below is my chart. If you want to see your chart I suggest you use the excellent link from the site to

This has explained a lot to me about me and am sure it will be an eye opener for many of my friends. Mercury is in Libra my sun sign hence I guess why retrogrades effect me so much, Mars is also in Libra which I suppose explains why I am often a peace maker when it comes to arguments between my friends. Venus is in Scorpio, guess that's where I get my sting in the tail from. If anyone has any observations to add please do as astrology is not my strongest subject but I did find it interesting all the same as I hope you do.
Anyway not much more really to say, except I am back in Cardiff on Tuesday for another agency visit and will probably now arrange to see a few others whilst I am down there.
Love to my friends, have a great weekend, if you can't do that well hugs for ya and well if I am online feel free to drop on in and say howdy!
