Would you believe it’s already the second new moon after the winter solstice?!? In a few hours it will be beginning of another year in the Chinese traditional calendar. (In China the new year began at 8am today Pacific time.)

This is the year of the rooster. To be more specific, in the 60 year cycle this is the year of the wood rooster.

May you all have a happy and prosperous new year!

People keep telling me I'm a turkey. I'm just waiting for my lucky year to roll around. Just when is the year of the turkey anyway?
 
Reminds me of Alice in Chains "Rooster"

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die

Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through

Sorry you too had a bad 2004, Jake.

Born in the year of the Tiger (1962) Monkey years are supposed to be bad for tigers, their calendar opposite. I can affirm this was true for me. We invested early in the year building decks, household stuff. Mid summer, a neighbor went off his nut- tride to kill himself, then (after being released) tried to kill some of other neighbors- he'd swerve his van at people walking dogs, probably trying to run over the dog, but not caring if he hit the people. Cops at the house, undercovers watching for days. He screamed at children playing. Psycho. His son was a murder-suicide, killed a cheerleader then himself. Nut-job told me he just wanted to go to hell and be with his son.

So he realized he couldn't live on our street anymore, and sold.

Partys were held on our new deck, overlooking the water, in honor of his leaving.

2 short weeks later, Hurricane Ivan put 10 feet of water through all our homes.

Deck gone, dock gone, garage gone, living room & kitchen too.

Now I live in a cursed FEMA trailer- buildings all wrecked- waiting on contractors.

But you know what- as of tonite at sunset, it's a New Year.

Everything's gonna get better. The curse will be lifted. I believe.

Good luck to you in the new year.

I'm a dragon according too the Chinese Calendar.:D How does the rooster affect the dragon or does it?
I thought the dragon was immune to all the other animals?:confused:
Barb is a rabbit but we still get along very, very, good. We never fight, and seldom use hard words even.:D :cool:
 
Im a dragon too. I once knew which animals got along with us, but then I spilled some wanton soup and the secret was lost forever.
 
Thanks Howard.:D
The horoscope got me pegged pretty good but they sure messed up with the good health.:grumpy:
I'm glad that the dragons get along well with the rooster! I could use a good year.;)
 
Hey! I was born in the Year of the Rat.

People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex.
Wish that were true! :rolleyes:
