Heya Folks!

It’s that time of the week again: the one when I give that free reading for a celebrity while Rosie, still in the kitchen, concentrates on readings for the commoners, like you folks.  Here goes my modesty.  Who said I had any?  So if you must know and may be this will help you swallow the dreaded harsh reality pill: I’m not the one getting paid for what I do, Rosie is.  What’s da point then I hear you ask.  May be I get spotted as da best celebrity psychic and start earning a fortune?  Nope?  You don’t believe in me?  Well, my friend: be gone.  Yes, go and wallow in your brown gooey stuff.  Hate me as much as you like, you’re just another voice in me head.  Rosie!  Will you stop the dogs barking and let me concentrate on Miss Fenty’s reading? Gee, all that noise.

Ok, folks, sorry if I’m not pleasant today.  Just read on.  May be you’ll find some enjoyment.  Today, I’m reading for Miss Fenty, also known as Rihanna of the Robyn-hood round table.  Yes her, da beautiful lady, born 20 February 1988 – an Aquarian-missa, gifted and too big for me small me even considering doing a reading for.  But here you go.  I’ve gathered some bravado and drawn three cards:

Hanged Man + Devil + Moon

Cough.  Hmm.  Cough.  Miss, with all due respect, I think you should reconsider some work arrangements and not be trusting of some person(s) within your circle of close friends.  You actually can see very clearly through this and you need to act on it even if you don’t enjoy having to have that talk and face a battle head on.  Don’t let it get to you.  Remember: you’re free to think and act as you will so don’t let another person influence you on your projects.  You need to believe in your projects, they are a reality soon knocking at your door.

You may currently be in an introspective mood as you feel the need to stay out of the limelight and seek inspiration.  It is really important to withdraw from the world at times to seek some form of enlightenment to let your new ideas come to the surface like bubbles, unaltered by outside external influences.  You like to be creative?  So be it.

Such is life: be blessed child: how to get into a deeper relationship with a loved one when you can’t see an end to your work load.  Errr.  What can I say: break a contract, don’t let those around you dictate what must be done if all you want to do is eat pop-corns and strawberries with your current or soon to be boyfriend while watching Michael Jackson do its best to scare you as a Were-woof-woof.  I think you have too much respect for your work.  Be free and open your heart to your youth and the man-to-be in your life if you need to.

Quite tellingly, I feel that you’re soon might be choosing to break free from the music industry for a while, even if this means letting go of some lucrative contracts and seeking an army of lawyers to defend your choice and human needs.

Rihanna, Ma’am, your past shows as having been uncontrollable at times, unmanageable but that you, as a queen of upper creativity escaped unscathed from it all except when, like we’ve seen earlier, you feel the urge to break free and be a normal lay person in the same manner Lady Gaga might wish to do sometime.  Know what I mean?  No, I’m no example, Rosie is and so are her dogs (they do behave like humans: they bark when they want to, they sleep on a normal bed and no one expects them to poop outside the flat even though they do).

Ha!  Ha!  What did I say?  I feel very strongly now that you’re going to bring the necessary changes to let yourself be charmed by life and by what you need most: a lovely relationship that makes you feel as if you’d never sung before and like you’ve had a fresh coat of paint and the plumbing sorted out.  There’s definitely a frog-to-be-turned-into-prince around you and he shall enter your scene within the next six months.  You’ll let me know about it, wontcha?

I’d advise you to listen to the advice of a creative and very positive man around you who might help you make the choice you have in mind – but won’t admit to immediately – as only this man is sincere.  It’s easy, when and if you wish to break free to live a normal life for a little while, there’s only one man who will help you and encourage you towards that decision.  Anyone telling you the opposite and not truly listening to you in that way is to be ignored.  All righty, Ma’am? (and if you ever happen to think I might be this man, and even though I’d be overly flattered since I don’t qualify as a man, beware: I’m merely the fruit of virtual hallucinatory project).

Rihanna-na, be prepared for the newcomer in your life.  With him come the changes you don’t dare to expect at this point in time, shall I say any more?  That’s all here. BE PREPARED.

As to your next endeavour, I gladly announce that there’ll be none except that you’ll take the necessary time off to live the life you actually own to be yourself, enjoy your relationship and ponder about what your next step might be.  You’ll feel like the Good Girl Gone Gooder.  Enjoy.

Hope you enjoyed this reading.

PS: A couple of tickets for me and Rosie before you give it all up for the greater good would go a long way in making us feel like we’re wanted as your audience.  Please?  Thank you.

Astrological sign, Folks!, Good Day, High priest, Humor, Jennifer Lancaster., Reading, Recreation, Rosie

Good Day, Folks!

Would you believe it?  We’ve got another author with a year as a birth date, ‘1967’.  So it says on the WeakWordWeb.  Seems it’s the new fashion: it’s how old you are that matters, not what birth sign your genetic material may be attached to or cloned from, nor if you were born on the day God took a rest.  Thing is, it would help wouldn’t it?  Could someone out there in cyberspacedom fix this for us, PL-EASE?  Rest assured, Ma’am, that we’re all aware you were hatched and purchased out of a rural goose market and never came out of any mammal’s back end.  Yes, that’s you, Mrs Jennifer Lancaster.

Rosie is present with me here on this stage, she’s sitting nicely on a straw chair she’s bound to.  O’course she’s gagged (for convenience) and I shall set fire to her chair without any hesitation should she dare bat one single eyelash to signal any form of discontentment.  So folks, if this occurs while I’m doing the reading, please let me know and I shall perk things up and provide some sparks for all, no kidding (don’t try this at home – I can ‘cause I have a special permit).  Ms Lancassyssy, with your wit and so-called self-centred narcissism, you might have been born under the shadow of the Lion, combined with a speck of Cancer or Pisces sprinkled all over you.

Now, on to me sheep-who’s-no-sheep-at-all.  Here, Mrs Jen Lan-cashier, three cards drawn:

Empress + High Priestess + Star

Now this is one hell of an amazing combination Mrs Lancasta-baby.  Whatcha doing?  You talking with psychics to know your future-present-past? Ha-ha!  I see you, I know you, I can tell.  So you need advice?  Well, let me tell you, there’s gonna be more than just one psychic you’re gonna visit and not just for your pets.  There’s me, there might be Rosie (God willing, the poor sod might be gagged for years to come unless you’re willing to compromise with me [read: take Rosie on a trip with you, for a long, long time, right?] and there might be Rosie’s good and sometimes imaginary friends who’ll all want to talk to you and analyse your life and tell you where you’re headed if you don’t know it already or can’t give it a good guess.  ‘Cause that’s what we do here and you’re welcome to come here for a consultation.  You like fun?  So do we.  Here’s the main question circling your mind like a hawk on fire these days (just don’t overanalyse).

I knew it!  I knew it, fuckity-fuckitymuck-munch.  Yeah!  You wanna travel, you wanna spread your wings and let your pooches, lizards, cats and guinea pigs under the umbrella of a legal guardian for a while, by the fire.  Yeah, they’ll miss you but they’ll be fine.  Step ahead, Mrs Jenny-Lancabean and revisit the world with passion as well as the youthful spirit that inhabits you.  You have the means not to give a shit in the world, for now, so use those means and do as you please.  Lucky you!

Not sure what you’ve just been through but your imagination has been playing up on you lately and you feel as if your writing needs refreshed with new ideas and especially, a new approach.  There are things you don’t know and wish to discover in order to re-direct the purpose of what you write and how you write it.  You’ve been under the weather, under some sort of pressure and getting refreshed is the key.  Funny last week’s author should have been under similar influences.

You wish for a ‘no bad surprises’ life and to throw caution to the wind at the same time.  You wish to express yourself spontaneously, or more spontaneously than you feel you’re allowed to as authors’ constraints sometimes don’t allow you to speak your mind as freely as you wish.  Why not, Ma’am?  What is it you have to say to the world that you don’t dare saying?  I’m waiting, I’m always interested.  Wordy debate is my kingdom.  It can be yours too.  Let me know, will ya?

You’re taking time to rest and meditate ‘cause you feel others aren’t worth what they say they’re worth and may be robbing you of more of your energy than you’d like them to.  Perhaps they’re overly daring in their approach to annoy you and take advantage of you and if this is so, yeah, do take the time to recharge your batteries and confront those lunatics (there might just be one, two max. around you) who wish to harm you.  Once you’re better, please realise that they can’t do much against you, just ignore them and let them wallow and sink deeper into their own mud.

It seems that, in your past, the fear of ‘not having much or enough’ was strong in your family and that it had the tendency to dispirit you.  When things got better, the rug got pulled from underneath you and the material world in which you lived and believed got spirited away for you to discover hidden talents never really considered previously.

As to your need to travel and have fun, it is also clear that you don’t need to go away and give up everything for ever.  You can travel a month, two or three at a time, come back and do it again in a few months’ time.  You know how to organise yourself.  You don’t have to be away from those you love for too long if you don’t want to.  Besides, if others close to you dare criticise you for your need for freedom, just explain to them you don’t intend to leave forever (even if, at times, you feel like it… you do?  Ah.  As a ‘what if’ type-thingy.  I get it.)

Hey, Jen, let go of this idea that you can’t quite work out where you’re headed right now.  ‘Go with the flow’ like they say, even if easier said than done.  Be generous to others, it makes you feel good.  Go see that part of the world you fear to go and observe, you’ll be surprised.  It’ll do you good.

Your next story…. Aaaaah.  Boy O boy do I love to predict what someone’s next crafty-farty endeavour’s gonna be.  For you, Flash-Jen, it’s the funny story of someone – some female – who gives up everything ‘cause they’ve got enough thinking the way they do’ and who goes for a very different lifestyle, giving up career, crack and cocaine for the betterment of one’s soul and spirituality.  Some burned-out case who moves somewhere poor and derelict, only to suddenly win the lotto or get into some huge fortune unexpectedly and who gets back into their old ways faster than an eye blink to pursue a decadent life like no other could have done such as wearing a Prada bag in an unemployment office.  Some pretty cynical and sarcastic story.

Hope you enjoyed this reading, Ma’am.  Do send us your next book, would ya? (signed).  Thank you.

LORDE

Down-Under, Ella Maria Lani, Folks!, Good Day, Lorde, Moon, Peter Jackson, Rosie, Thought

Good Day, Folks!

How’s life?  Shitty enough?  Welcome aboard its wild train, (if you’re just born), else keep your head out of the window and drive it as fast as you can, there’s no other way…  God bless!

How can one keep up with new comers just out of nappies?  Well, one can’t.  Today, we’re welcoming Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor, better known as LORDE of the marvellous mountainous swamp beyond the land Down Under.  You are born on 7 November 1996, an almighty powerful and intense Scorpio.  Such a voice, such a face, such youth… Peter Jackson could do well in using your talents in your own home environment.  Me & Rosie, we’re hooked to your voice, pure heroin it is, forgive us the pun.

What da ya know?  Rosie’s pissed off – yeah, what’s new? – let me finish though: she’d wanted to do this reading ‘cause she suggested it to me but she’s taken to the bottle lately, unwittingly (I mixed her daily apple juice with blue cherry and the crushed gummy bears and now there’s no stopping her).  Never mind.  She’s stuck in the kitchen once more, she of the never, never more.

Now, let’s get onto you, Maria-of-the-worldly-wisdom-words, you, young lady drawing Lordly rings of sounds inside our heads.

I drew the following three cards for you:

Empress + Judgement + Moon

There is incredible energy and strength coming out of these cards and the arts, what else? are highlighted in a big way.  It is clear that a lady close to you is constantly empowering you and providing you with suggestions and encouragements of all sorts to enable you to finish your studies and combine it with your burgeoning life as an upcoming and promising singer in your own right.  What I’d like to emphasise to you at this stage, is to keep strong in believing your instincts (which you are already doing in your career as a singer).  I mean here for you to focus on the financing of your earnings… do what you feel is right and trust your mum too… but don’t place too much trust in the ideas and suggestions of the men around you… because should life present you with one or more of its funny/not so funny twists and turns, you’ll be glad to have done your own thing… do what you believe must be done and trust it.  Just a thought, for what it’s worth.  Besides, it’s the cards talking, not me.

Now, moving on to the chore question drawn by such youth and such talent… Well, Miss O’Connor-of-the-Yelish-Lani-Ladida-Land, you of the Royal-Queen-Bee-Who-Might-Be name, fear not for da sun’s shining bright ahead of you.  Let it all out; don’t let anything or anyone stop you from being the new singer we’ve all been waiting for.  Sing songs that speak of truth, let the word out, out there, that tells us it’ll all be all right, even in the dead of night and at the darkest hour.  Sing songs Madiba would have loved to hear (may his soul rest in peace), tell us more about freedom, and never surrendering.  May you be the Captain leading us to our untamed souls!  I make myself cry like a turtle, talking like this.  Fuck.  I don’t need no-one to tell me where to go, thank you.  Where was I?

In your fears, lady-bug-Lorde, yeah… leaving home for ever and being away from it for long periods of time do creep up in your thoughts at times and ya know you’re gonna have to deal with it sooner or later.  Still, don’t let it get to you in any way: everything in its own time.  You’ll grow out of wanting to retreat in the warmth of your nest quicker than you think, as fun surprises delivered by life itself will ask you to act on them and you won’t think twice about not going ahead with what is proposed to you.

Ella, ya know, it’s perfectly fine not to want to get involved emotionally with anyone and be the loving woman some people expect you to be.  It pisses you off and it would piss me off too, with or without dick.  Be yourself, you’ll see, those men whose who suck up to you, (I’m thinking stupid assholes after your know-how and money – men who haven’t yet resorted to the latest medical trend: the growing of extra organs, in particular extra balls, men whose brains are boosted by the recent addendum to what they consider the ‘crown jewels’*), will wither and melt when faced with your talent and will agree anything to accommodate your needs and wants rather than the opposite…  Got it?  Rosie would approve of what I just said so take it in your stride ‘cause I know you’re ‘under age’ for all that stuff but you know I mean you no harm.

For now, all internal and outside influences, good or bad, are not really affecting you.  You are protected from all sides and if there’s any legal battles looming out there (God forbid!), you won’t know about it and/or it’ll all die down pretty quickly as it seems your interests are well protected and you don’t have to deal with it yourself, for now and which opens the path to you’re being free to create without much of a care in the world.

You are fortunate in that you leave in a safe and happy and nurturing environment.

Ella-Miss, you’re strong and you’re very aware of your own power and gift already.  We love you just as you are and if you wish to change how you present yourself on stage, please think twice about it.  Why would you do so?  If it’s to match how you feel you should be doing things, then fine, but if it’s to comply with some big TV douche-bag whose suggestions may feel more like so-called creative endeavours that are for the best of the entertainment industry, then run a mile from it, don’t be scared, everyone wants a piece of you and as I said before, trust your instincts.

I suggest that you don’t sit, think and linger for too long about what you should or should not do.  Grab life by its horns and have a dance, there’s no stopping you, not now, it’s far too early.

Look, I must reiterate: grab the opportunities only YOU love and that feel right for you, not the ones that appear all glossy and shiny.  That way, you’ll know exactly what to do, how to do it and you can implement your own creativity as you like it and as the Gods out there and in your head intend it for you.

Hope you enjoyed this reading.

PS: Rosie and I would be thrilled and honoured to see you live, so… you know the drill by now, right?  Here ‘tis again, just in case: send us a couple of tickets PLEASE, wherever that may be.  We’ll be there, no shit.

Aisling Bea, astrological signs, Folks!, Fool, Gandalf, Gollum, Good Day, Rosie, Santa, Wheel of Fortune

Good Day, Folks!

That’s right guys & girls, ladies & gentlemen (for some of you), you understood right: once again, today we’re concentrating on funny people.  It’s just that time of the year, I guess, ya know?  Nights getting longer, pays getting smaller and Rosie slurping spaghettis the way a horse chews a mouse: you can hear the slurp and the crunch but you can never forget the sound of it going down one’s throat.

So to compensate for hard, sad and dark times (no, I’m not depressed but if any of you folks looks like Santa, then give us a buzz), we might as well bring on the podium of fame, fun and frangipanis another one of o’them folks who are known for no other one reason than they are hillllllll-a-riot and today this is Aisling Bea, or might it be Ailing Bee?  Da joke’s on me.  Who cares?  Fact is, she’s young, healthy and masters the art of being born under all of the astrological signs in the one bag.  Born in 1984, there appears to be no other details on the day and month of Aisling’s birth and this is why I can only conclude that she’s an all-encompassing woman, whatever this may or may not mean.  In a nutshell, she’s a funny folk.

Here are the three cards drawn for you, Miss Busy-Bea.

Wheel of Fortune (X) – Fool (XXII ) – Temperance (XIIII)

That’s the thing with being still young, Missa-Bea, there’s plenty ahead of you.  With the Wheel of fortune and the Fool next to one another, chances are that, for you, things are moving forward and changing very rapidly at this point in time and that travel is highlighted.  There are signs of strong choices to be made and wisdom, ah wisdom, needs applied.  Love is knocking at your door if it hasn’t already and this is where the crunch may come: having to be on the constant move for show attendances as your public awaits you.  It’s about how to strike balance.  You needn’t be afraid of it, just don’t let worries creep in too obnoxiously and take the necessary time to withdraw and think of your craft and your life and how you want to mix & match them to your heart’s and everyone else’s contentment.

You’re a lucky and fortunate lady, with brains & beauty (I mean you just have to take one look at the likes of Rosie and be forever happy of who you are and what you look like).  Let us not stray…  you’re fortunate because all is showing up as a success and this appears in the heart of the question asked which to me seems to say that I don’t really need to do a reading for you (except I need – sorry, require – a couple of tickets to your next show*).  Any conflicts you may have been experiencing – if any – is resolving happily and all around your professional life and home life is looking PRET-TY good.

In the area of your fears and negative influences, there are no surprises, life is carrying you gently on to other and better things and so long as you accept the changes coming happily, all will be well.

In your wish and hopes, it is clear that you will never put up with anyone who is overbearing or who might attempt to control you in any way.  This may also be related to conventional situations which you dislike very much.  No, you hate them.  You’d kill the God damned square-but-not-fair situations if the opportunity was there to shoot them in the butt.  But you’re not like that, are ya?  Anything that gets you feeling stuck: an idea, a person, a situation and you get onto your better-get-the-fuck-on-the-move-&-onto-something-better horsey.

Currently, a brand new creative opportunity may be presented to you or you’re going to get a brand new idea/concept over how to broaden your craft’s spectrum.  It seems that this opportunity is excellent but that it may not bring the financial results with it, at least not immediately.

In your past, Ais-linga-ling, it is apparent that you’ve always been an artist with plenty an idea to work with and whose sense of play, imaginative skills and energy are endless.  It looks like up until now, your craft has always taken first place before anything or anyone else and I believe this is soon to change as love will make its way through your heart – ah romance, hmm, err…  It even seems that to begin with, you’ll reject this new love coming and/or that you will not see it as love.

Well, there might come times (in the next year or so) when you won’t feel so fit and so full of beans… dunno, may be you don’t eat well enough or you just over-exert yourself generally and you should take care to look after your physical/health needs a little more.  Your passion to perform and be creative may dominate you and you are required to heed this stance as your batteries may be running on low or empty; nothing serious but do take your vitamins, Bee-Sling, Ma’am.

I suggest you select one opportunity at a time and don’t chew more than you can swallow, or you may choke onnit and ya know it’s simply isn’t worth the trip, so take your time and look into your mind’s eye a second time before over-committing to many a thing you don’t need in your life.

Your next show will have all the hallmarks of your wild creative streak, spirit and energy brought together for a full one and a half to two hours of absolute pandemonium about people who can never take a rest (interesting projection, huh? – just sayin’).  There might be plenty of jokes about Jesus walking on water and the Irish trying the same, as well as descriptions of bad sex occurring and rabbits being buried for it.  The entire performance will be told in a known and recognised EU language that has nothing to do with Frodo’s, Gollum and Gandalf’s native languages, we got that.

BTW, folks, you have Rosie’s greetings: she’s taken a trip inside the toaster (yes, she’s still in the kitchen).  How did she manage that?  Well, you know I don’t have a tiddly-tiny-thought-form idea of her reasoning and abilities so why d’you even ask?

*Reiterating:  PL-ease, could you muster a couple of tickets for us to your next show?  Thanks, you’re a darl.

Howdy!  How are you today, folks?

Me?  Fine,  Sis Rosie?  Do you really need to know about her today?  Haha!  Thought so.  She’s seeing her psychiatrist right now for those of you who really need to know.  Not seeing as consulting but seeing as seeing.  He looks like our character today, a real life character, artist, actor, writer, director, and fire fighter no 56, also known as Bruschetta-the-great, on fire engine no 55, aged 55.  A Sagittarian born on 13 December 1957, a fire sign, whose talent cannot be extinguished, what else and what not?  Oh, btw, his name is Steven Vincent Bruscemi, a shining star of the third kind.

Well, Sir, the three tarots de Marseille cards drawn for you today are:

Temperance + Strength + Tower

Hm.  There are two elements appearing in these three cards:

1. Your independence is about to pay off in a big way in that you’re gonna get a lot more work than you thought you’d get at first.  It’s like you’ve been working very hard and you’ve been achieving really well up until now but not to your entire satisfaction because you’re a lot more demanding on yourself than you like to admit and more demanding than your peers know of you.  If you’re expecting some big contract and major career breakthrough to be bestowed upon you then bestowed it’s about to be.

2. Aaaaaaah relationships.  Gotta love them… Makes you feel human even in the wake of crooked teeth, huh?  Look, you’re not out of the woods I’m afraid (I mean out of your trouble with that person whom your flame shines for, not your teeth, silly).  How come artists like you who have it all when it comes to the art and skill of communicating how one feels and transmitting it to the whole wide world find themselves in the dark with their loved ones the way you do?  I dunno.  If I loved Rosie, I’d know how to tell her.  Fortunately, I… but that’s another story.

Here’s for the remainder of the reading:

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, are we?  Can’t go away or be spontaneous…  Yet, by the same token you can no longer bear the lack of creativity and all things conventional.  Stevo, what’s that all about?  I don’t mind talking about contradictions within anyone but this is a bit much even for me.  Listen, Mate, just make a decision, will ya?  What is it you want?  It’s the difference between this and that, black and white, dog and cat.  You know where this leads to, right?  Let me point the right direction for you: infinity, the never ending circle of life where opposites meet in a streamless fashion.  It’s not that complicated and if you think it is then go consult your doctor, Man!

It doesn’t help either that in your house of fears and negative influence we find the high priestess and page of pentacles: for God’s sake, Stevie, me little friend, the rationale is for you not to fear the irrational and let yourself being lifted by day dreaming and mental disturbances: do not fear the implausible impossible as it becomes your day-to-day reality.  Deal with it and stop whinging, that’s all I have to say because I’m getting angry seeing that the artist you are should be scared of my superstitious nonsense because it’s not non-sense.  Ask your friends.  Ask your beer and ask your wine.  They’ll tell ya.

Was I tough?  So sorry, Stevo-boy.  Didn’t mean it.  It’s on paper now however, so deal with it.  Look, it’s all right, we’ve all got the need to be alone and disengage ourselves from worldly endeavours, to take our time and ponder, you included.  So do it if you must but don’t stay in that place for too long and even you need to shed light on why some people around you decided to leave for good.  Leaking one’s wounds is ok but set your timer on it, Mista Bruschetta.

Besides, there are signs of a new relationship (or the renewal of one?… don’t think so) pointing its nose in your direction and you ought to prepare yourself to shine by oiling your armour with the right stuff.  Stars in your sky are gonna shine brighter soon.  Don’t be the old man you think you’ve become, there’s still a child within you: let it play, let it pull you where this time of life’s pulling you to.  Nothing is as bad as you make it to be at the moment; you’re just acting bad in your head and acting bad in front of your friends who’ve had enough trying to understand your antics.  But good times are here for you to grab.  I repeat for the last time: to understand yourself, take a hell raising good look in that mirror you smashed earlier today!

I can see and sense that, in your past, you don’t come from an easy place, one where you had to try to make sense of your world in an utterly thoughtful-and-nothing-but-the-thought process.  It was hard work.  Besides, you’re a hard worker, far too hard for some, far too hard for the enjoyment of some of your friends and/or family.  But you made it through because of your spirited approach and your – how about that? – belief of the greater good and all things spiritual… at times.  Nothing escapes you.  You’re generous to a point but you won’t tolerate fools and you’d rather spend your day working at your craft or on a tank engine… or did I mean fire engine? Dunno.  Some engine.  Some tank.  Dumbo.  Me, I meant me… than with some lovely drunk soul drinking more drink at a bar.  It’s a choice.  Who am I to judge?

Your resources can be drawn from your ability to chameleonise all your behaviours and you can use your moods to alter your skin colour by the mere click of your fingers, unlike many of us.  This means you can switch from being happy a nano-second earlier to being suicidal the next nano-thingy.  This is to do with what happened earlier and that someone leaving.  You’re not one to cry over your fate or to linger for too long in an uncomfortable place but you must make an effort for it.  Thank Gotye for that!  What?  Who cares?

Now, there’s a funny feeling that you’re not intending to fight your way through.  Through what?  I’m not sure what this is about but you’re soon gonna emphasise you’re refusing to follow all that is conventional and me advice here, Stevey, is to let it happen, the childlike way, I mean to let life happen to you rather than you attempting to control it ‘cause it’s just what the doctor ordered for you at the moment.  That’s you told.  Have a nice life.

Lastly, Vincente, Man, as to your next endeavour, and like we saw at the very beginning of this reading, you’re about to be very creative and the opportunity and opportunities you were looking for are gonna
come knockin’ at your door like basically never before: it’s bigger, it’s more lucrative and it’s more inspiring.  You’re gonna love it.  You know what?  My theory is that, (yeah, you’re gonna get it like they all do on this blurb), you’re going to be the co-director on a freakingly funny TV series that’s gonna be records breaking and your source of inspiration is gonna be very much of a never ending one.  I give you ten years: not on a fire engine, not in any prison cell, nor in any steady relationship, but of that weekly show you’re about to create.  Please, send me your first reel like they used to say, for the sake of old times and for me yet inexistent collector’s items.  Just like you, I wanna get there some day.  So long, Stevie!

Good Day, Folks!

In this barely beginning sweltering Swiss summer of 2013, let me introduce you to someone you already know: Mrs Ruth Barbara Rendell, born on 17 February 1930, an Aquarian, most wonderful writer of our own kind, Rosie and I, same sign, same heart, same mind.  We too love to evolve under a pseudo.  You as Barbara Vine.  Ms Rowling as Mr. Robert Galbraith.  The list goes on.

–           Don’t you dare, Feralbulb!

–           Rosie!  What the hell are you doing here?  You’re in no shape to—

–           —Read for Mrs Rendell if you must but don’t compare yourself to her or anyone you’re not worthy of.  Try and incorporate some modesty into your—

–           —Whatever, Rosie, whatever.  You get back to your health farm and or forget about going back to dreamtime land.

–           You promised.

–           And you promised you’d get back to full health before you came back to be your usual self, a major interference in whatever I do.

–           How can I heal when you keep treating me like this, huh?

–           Deal or no deal:  ticket or no ticket.  Which will it be?

Ha.  She’s gone now.  See?  No need to tie her anywhere in the kitchen anymore, she goes away of her own accord.  This gives us a few more weeks respite and then…  But let’s get to talk about you dearest, sharpest of Ruth’s.

Mrs Rendell, your cards are those of a shining light that never fades, a pristine mind attached to the most refined understanding of how the human heart works.

You feel blessed by the Gods of mysteries and thrills at the worst of times.  Most of all, it is that sense of relentless movement that goes on within the confines of your skull that cannot be hushed or tamed which keeps you going to way you have and this is just as well.  Inspiration is your way of life: you’re an inspired person, one who cannot stop putting pen to paper or else you lose the meaning of it all.

There is a clear indication that more work is coming your way.  It seems that those who have been with you all along have new business to propose to you and that they may want you to be there to attend to the making of more series, more movies based on your books.  They need you to add that sense of weird & wonderful to the way the series and movies are being filmed because only you can recreate the spark, tension and much, much else that is needed.  Your revising any script is of the essence.

On another note, Ruth, it looks very much like that, as a person (not as a writer) you’re always sparkling and that your court is never short of admirers of all kinds.  There’s always one man or another wishing to take you out to dinner to probe and pick your brains and get some nourishment from it.  Sometimes, you wish you could pick up men’s brains in return but, what do you know, it seems you find it hard to find a match, even if merely to get a good conversation and so you’d rather stay home and write a good book, not to mention read one.

Ruth-Barbara Miss, your wisdom has reached a height difficult for us common mortals to ever reach, not to mention fathom and target, even for me, with all the modesty this implies on my part and regardless of what Rosie may think.  Your generosity and kindness you feel through your bones, deeply.  This is what keeps you going: believing that your work can help those who have less, on a big scale.  At the same time, this also gets you exhausted, even if you pretend to be as energetic as ever.  See, Mrs Rendell?  You can’t hide anything from me.  I understand your reasons for not wanting to display your energy being depleted at times, but don’t you think it’s about time that your public looked after you and became aware of your needs rather than the opposite being a constant?  Well, I’ve said it now and you have no choice in the matter.  Incorporate this in your wisdom.  This is you told.

There are conflicts within you even though you’re ever so careful not to let it show and I will respect your wish not to extend on the subject except to say that although your imagination rules, you needn’t fear as it’ll never let you down nor will you ever get confused between what is real and what isn’t.  Night inspires you and you love to work at night, yet at the same time, you’re afraid of the night, afraid of shadows that bring back old feelings and emotions to the surface as you get tired as you write.  You wish you had more choice over how you conduct your business but you no longer have the time and the inclination to do it all yourself.  You wish you could travel a lot more to explore other alternatives – like you used to do – and explore the world again.

There is an indication that you wish you knew where you’re going at the moment.  What?  You?  Not knowing where you’re headed?  It drives you quite mad, Mrs Vine, quite mad.  There’s an impulse, an instinct, a deep wish inside you that requests, no, begs for life to bring you surprises and novelty yet at the same time, you enjoy your life to be organised to a tee and you do not wish to be led blindly.

Currently, you’re not looking inside to drive your life in any direction.  You’re just waiting patiently as well as not so patiently to see where you’re headed even though you don’t like the present state of being.  Whatever comes your way, you’re not really scared – mostly annoyed – as you know you won’t be defeated in any way.  Besides, defeat isn’t a word you like to use, unless you make it appear in one of your novels.  You’re currently not being as constructive and decisive as you could be and you’re trying to ride the wave until you can get your acts together again.

You come from a place of little consideration as far as your presence was concerned.  Fortunately, ideas and perspective are what was instilled within you.  You are also born ‘on top of the hill’ for a better view and broad vision.  It seems that when you came into this world, you were given three gifts that grew along with you: these were the gifts of passion, understanding and transformation, the ability to transform using your hands to let the previous two generate and regenerate through your craft.  Also, you were taught never to hesitate for too long and never to let profits linger without purpose.  Especially, you quickly learned to use finance and education to help and inspire those who have less because you know all too well what having next to nothing means.

Right now, and because you’re not feeling exactly at your best, as if you can’t feel what you’re supposed to feel and being unsure where to be headed, you’d be best to attend family and friends’ gatherings as this would bring back some well needed enjoyment and fun.  There are many invitations in your letter box, chose carefully who you wish to see and have a good time, Ms Rendell-Wexford.

Me advice, Baroness, is to simply stop thinking for a while and take life as it comes.  Stop those nasty thoughts take your spirit away at times and stop dubious people around you steal from you.  What I mean here is to not let petty people steal your ability to enjoy yourself.  Don’t let any influence around you be overbearing and chose your company carefully, as I said earlier.  There are good times to be had so take them as they come until such time as you know better what you wanna do.

As to your next project, I believe you’re going to oversee an old novel of yours being filmed as a major block buster.  It isn’t exactly for now, but when it happens, you’ll feel on top of the moon again as you’ll have find your mojo to lead your blessed life where it’s supposed to go, which is, much like for most of us, forward.  This project will speak of someone being stuck in a miserable of a life, without any means to improve it and who therefore hides his/her resentment (it may be a couple), enjoying the darkest of thoughts and bringing them to life.  This would be about kidnapping people, young people, and raising them in the basement of their house, as prisoners.  One of them would develop some psychic skill that would same him/her in the long run.  I’d be pleased if you’d let me know when this takes place so I can be on the look out of that movie being released, even if in a few years.

It’s been good doing your reading, Mrs Rendell, hope you enjoyed it.

Howdy folks!

Today, we are doing a reading for Rebel, also known as Rebelicious of real name Rebecca Wilson, born on 3 February 1986, an Aquarian, an actress, writer, director in Sydney, Australia.

Well hello there Miss Wilson,

Had we known that you and us were linked by our birth dates, we would have dealt with your reading much earlier.  Such is life on the cards and I, Feralbulb, of the never-ever-whatever-whatitis salute you and your funny gift with all my might.  You know where to find Rosie if you need her but trust me, it’s worth ignoring her at the moment.  So let us see your first cards:

To begin with, it seems that there are new and happy events occurring in terms of a possible relationship that has been on the cards for a while now.  It’s like you weren’t quite considering it and/or not taking it too seriously but now the time has come for you to take stock as this person is coming strong and with an honest relationship proposal.  You’d better be in romantic mood or set your clock to ‘romantic’ because the time has come for you to realise that there are people who truly care about you and that – despite you never feeling alone or lonely (where would you find the time for it anyway Miss?) – You may well deserve more than just good friends.

Indeed, you’re looking back at all that you’ve achieved already in such a short time and wondering where you should be headed now, not that you don’t know but it is more a question of choice and being organised.  And of course, looking in that direction, you can’t see what’s coming your way: a new exciting proposition.  There’s the one from a prospective relationship as well as that from a studio for some new movie where you’d have a lot of say, possibly lots of writing as input from you and co-directing, and this you don’t quite expect but it will sure help you make your selection because this one’s one big and god damned fat opportunity you won’t wanna to miss.  What, with ozzie directors and casts, what else could you do but beat the odds and put Mick Dundee from Walkabout Creek back where he belongs: in the past and get onto the world stage that is your oyster?  YEAH BABY!

There you have it: all that you fear is for procrastination to knock at your door because all you wanna do, Miss Rebeli-Rebelo, is to work, enjoy it while it lasts and put those fun earned pennies where they belong: in the ‘hard-days-to-be-had-if-any’ basket.  Worrying not being your motto, there are still times when you get grabbed by it and when you need a reality check.  Well you know the ozzie way out of that predicament Rebel-child: chill out when necessary and all will be well.

Right now, you wish for change and all I can recommend is for you to be prepared because as I said earlier, change is coming your way and as big as change comes.  Yes, again I insist that you knock into your head that you will be able to unleash your creativity the way Russell Crowe unleashed hell in Gladiator.  Get it?  Good.

You come from a place in the past where you felt stuck, unable to go the way you wanted to go because you didn’t know exactly what you were made of and it took a lot of trial and error until you got your future career worked out.  Never mind the mistakes: at least you had the courage to try anything and everything to see what suited you and showed as well as lead the way for many.  Sorry Miss Rebelicious but when I look at you I just giggle and Rosie, when I give her the opportunity to have her meals and she’s not tied up to her chair, slaps me to knock that stupid grin out of my face and senses but I can’t help it Miss, and it’s a compliment.  I’ll come back to Sydney soon just to attend all of your shows.

What you could do at the moment, to stop looking backward and prepare yourself for what’s coming, is to look at everything you do with a renewed sense of purpose.  Say when you put cornflakes in your plate in the morning and add some milk to it, stir the damned flakes the other way around and crunch them using your tongue against your palate instead of your teeth… see how it feels and get inspired doing every little thing in a different way and see where it leads you in terms of new ideas.  Trust your mandatory psychic, me, because I know, goddammit and trust your beloved, friendly advisor too (there’s one around you, could be a father figure).

What you could easily rely on too are the people in the street, the ones with no experience, the ones with nothing but their imagination, lay people: they could help you out and you may find true gems, should you be recruiting new faces to play on the down under screens.  Really, try everything that those in your industry tell you not to do – be a rebel and show ‘em it can work your way because you have a fresh mind, a fresh approach and a fresh outlook on life.  You go Miss, you go, oi, oi, oi!

Around you, at this point in time, is a lovely man who feels he has lost almost everything although he hasn’t.  He is the ‘King’ of creation in Sydney – I don’t know his name but you would – and he can and will be a source of inspiration and help to you – he will trust your new ideas and endeavours and will want to try them out without suspicions, just because he likes the way you do your stuff.  So pick up on this Miss Wilson-of-the-never-never and come back to tell me that I will soon be able to attend one of your shows.

As to your next movie, this will have to do with thieves who still everything from a very rich man and you being in the middle of them, trying to be diplomatic because you’re friends with all parties and don’t want to upset any of them.  You’ll be like a chameleon, behaving well and according to thieves’ rules when you’re with thieves and behaving according to the well-off’s rules when with them, until the police get involved and you unwittingly create more and more chaos around you and… well no spoiler, right?

Good luck, all the best to you young lady, God bless!

Howdy folks!

Today, I’m going to introduce you to a lady, a woman I’d like to see by my side – aside Whoopi Goldberg who hasn’t yet taken up my marriage offer – a woman of substance: Gillian Anderson, born on 9 August 1968, a Leo in all its flaming and shiny splendour, red mane and all.  She has played in the X-files as well as in classics as the House of Mirth and Bleak House.  A versatile woman, one of multiple faces, costumes and accents and whose beauty… but boy, o boy… Will you marry me Ma’am?

–           Feralbulb!

–           Oh stuff it, Sis!

–           A little respect would —

–           —and what would you know about respect, huh?  You’re interrupting me at the beginning of me show, once again.

–           She’ll never want to marry you.

–           I didn’t make it personal, did I? So why do you always add a twist and a sting in everything you say to me, huh?  Tell me, Sis?

Silence

–           And don’t slam the door like this!

Well, Ms Anderson, truly sorry about this.  But you know what Rosie’s like by now don’t you?  My question to you remains the same and remains open for as long as I shall live.

But here it goes, dear Gillian:

Life hasn’t been as smooth and rosy as it could have been Ma’am.  There is a feeling of grief and loss that got the better of you as you didn’t expect it.  Not only that, it also affected you longer than you wanted it.  It’s affected the people around you too and created arguments and conflicts.  There was conflict within you – and it stills appears to be here; don’t try and deny it.  Sometimes you wonder if you’re ever going to get out of that dark cloud and the trouble is that you feel guilty for even wanting to get out of the darkness.  Why Ma’am?  Why?  It’s perfectly all right to move on… I know that other people have already told you this but you keep dismissing their advice… don’t dismiss mine.  Here, I know what can make you happy – yes, just as much as you do…- drown yourself in work: it’ll bring you back to normal in no time.  The outcome card is good too: your relationship, if it went through rough patches, is on the mend and will be going deeper than you ever thought it could go, although not quite immediately.

Currently, it’s like the pain won’t go away, whichever way you look at it and your heart suffers, not just figuratively.  Ms Anderson, Ma’am, do check with a doctor if you have chest pain won’t you?  People come and go, it’ll never stop.  Besides, you have big plans and yes, you can incorporate the pain into your plans to help yourself and carry the ones you miss in your heart, always.  Now is the time to move on Ma’am.  Don’t let the pain get the better of you and get to work.

I know you feel dispirited and as if you lacked imagination and tools to pick those parts of you that you have left behind.  Take a rest.  Sit on a high chair somewhere in nature and let the queen within you rise again.  You can transcend your thoughts and emotions with your inner guide and let your subconscious show you the way.  You only need rest, observe and feel.

You are totally averse to anything rash, spontaneous, egotistical and dislike the celebrity status very much.  You wish you could snap out of the game for a while and do your own thing, anonymously for a long time, if not forever.  You’re all substance and the shine and polish that is required from you at times has begun to be a burden because there are people around you that you wish you’d never met or and just as much as you know how to protect yourself, there is always a journalist or a friend-who-isn’t-one who have the’ best intentions’ for you.  You might get to a point where you’ll just tell them what you think bluntly and not care what they might think or say about you; and why not, Ma’am?  Why not?

Your past shows that you come from a family that mixed science and art and that gave you a broad perspective of how you should approach your life and its multiple facets. As a kid, you were fascinated by the type of conversations your Mum & Dad could have because even though the two were very different from each other, they could sustain conversations that enlightened you; they had respect for each other and you were able to understand what each was saying and assimilate it.  This is why you are now able to listen to people for hours on end, because you can grasp their essence and understand them fully.

For now, you need time to yourself.  I would say you need to try and understand yourself on a deeper level than before and you are opening up to spirituality in a way you never believed possible and would have dismissed had things not turn out the way they have.  It’s simple Ms Anderson, the more time you spend alone trying to understand the world as well as yourself, the more you’ll develop an incredible useful insight which will not only make your own path more visible and clearer, but that of others too and if you were to find another activity aside acting, then advising people on their well-being would be your gift (you’d want to do it anonymously and that’s fine).  And on that one, Ma’am, if I may, Rosie and I would be delighted to help you out so do not forget to seek us out.

It seems as if you’ve reached a stage in your life where you don’t have to try and live those rituals which we all go through at some point such as  getting married, having kids, getting a house, etc.  You have all that plus you’ve been able to play them in movies and on stage many times.  You are a very keen reader and love literature and since you like to ponder and wonder at the world by staying in one spot, you might consider writing too.

Well there you have it, Ms Anderson, what you can do now is to let your imagination loose and get onto those new projects you have in mind, and if I’m not mistaken, there are at least six projects – possibly stories? – on your mind, not to mention two smaller ones you don’t like to talk about at this stage.  You also like to work at night as you don’t need much sleep and night inspires you… and then by day you gather those nightly thoughts and put them to good use.

Ms Anderson, I’m very excited to see that your next movie involves spirituality, as if you will be part of a new TV series where you’ll play a psychic who can never get it right if she’s being tested publicly but gets it right at all other times, i.e. when real event happen around her and no one knows what she does… which implies all sorts of difficulties for people to believe her…  A nice, new and smart little British series that would cheer you up and help your own beliefs.

Well there you are Ma’am.  It wasn’t so bad after all, was it?  I know I put you on the spot, but that’s because I not only like you but I’d like to marry you, don’t make me repeat it.  This ain’t wrong, right?

With all my love.

Folks!

As I promised you a few weeks ago, Rosie and I were going to tell you how we survived our ordeal as Astro Cop’s hostages and how we liberated ourselves from his clutches.

–           We got inspired by ‘Argo’, the movie with Ben Affleck.

–           Oh boy we did, Sis, we did.

–           We had to mingle toaster, TV and psychic particles.

–           T’was scary.

–           But my scientist background saved us.

–           Don’t forget my movies backgrounds had a strong part in our freedom too.

–           You’re conceited, Brother.  Without my psychic power and physicist knowledge, you would still be stuck there.  I came back for you once I was able to get out myself.

–           And if I hadn’t called my friend Ben Affleck to convince the TV particles that we were mere Hollywood particles, the TV would never have taken us on and the transfer could never have occurred.

–           And if you’d never boasted that you were ‘real news’ to the newsreader in it, I wouldn’t have had to come back to get you out pretending I was a psychiatrist from ‘Nurses & Doctors’ and inject the both of us through a dialysis machine to ensure we were considered urinated material.

–           You irretrievably and irremediably damaged the plasma TV when we got out.

–           You’re ungrateful, Feralbulb.  How can you do readings when—

–           —Fuck, Rosie!  Enough!  The readers know all they need to know; can I do my reading while you learn to look pretty and shut up?

–           Well folks, she’s gone again, sorry.  In a huff.  But that’s Rosie, what can you expect?  She’ll be back.  Today we’re going to do read for Kathryn Bigelow.

Dear Kathryn,

You are born on 27 November 1951, you are a Sagittarian.  A few cards only and already there are numerous themes coming up in your draw:

1.         Firstly, ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ brings no surprises here: you’ll get an award.  Not the one you might expect, however, but one all the same.  This doesn’t affect you because you do movies displaying in them what you believe in.  There is a sense of loss at the moment, as if all this excitement about directing dies off each time you’re ‘off the hook’ to rest and ponder what next.  Not that the pondering ever extends for any length of time.  There’s always more that you can do and you don’t like to stop.  You draw wisdom and sheer intuition from the depths of your being and you can see through people and their intentions and want.  Your non-judgemental approach tells us heaps about your characters and yourself.  With your next movie, you’ll wish to change: no more war themes for one or two movies.  You want something lighter as even you need to rest.

2.         Secondly, you need to watch the people/public around you.  You made a strong movie bringing subjects close to many people’s heart.  But some people aren’t inspired.  They are resentful and they hide their feelings from you.  I believe you have or are receiving death threats on top of some officials accusing you of exaggerating and lying and, as tough as you might be, you must gather your strength and not let it affect you.  Your talent resides in making people believe that you think in black and white… yet nothing is as it seems as you are in fact multi-faceted.  You know this and you only let those close to you get an inkling of all the different shades of grey (and not just grey) you keep locked within yourself.  In seeing this, Ma’am, I’m looking forward to what it is next you might bring to the big screen.

Oh Ma’am!  But of course: do take time out.  It’s time to celebrate and time to have fun with your close friends.  Why feel guilty about it?  It’s not uninspired to do so, it won’t take away from you.  You’ll never be short of ideas.  On the contrary: get out and let your hair down, it’s always needed because it does stimulate the imagination.

Ms Big-low, with all due respect, why is it you fear not being in touch with what is popular?  You’re also afraid to end up alone at some point… though this is something you don’t like to admit because you’re so busy that indeed you wonder how life could supply you with a charming influence, be it friend or lover or both.  I hear you.  Well no, it’s never too late.  God dammit woman!: it’s never too late to learn the ‘way’ again.  What way?  That of being in love, loved and loving.  Accept it because it’s coming to you big way now, Ma’am.  Yeah, even you a true feminist at heart.  Don’t squirm.  I just say that.  You know what I mean.

As to your wishes and hope, I have a nice sequence of events here: victory and fighting to keep your rights over it; not letting yourself being affected by whatever others might say or think.  There are plenty more victories to come if this one doesn’t exactly turn the way you want it.  Yes, you think you made a hard facts movie.  The thing is, a lot of people will react emotionally to it as they feel hard done by one way or another.  This movie is going to be seeped in more controversy than you ever thought it would be.  However, somewhere, somehow, it is indicated that justice might be brought for those who go too far in trying to dispute your beliefs and/or that torture and its surrounding laws might get a good shake up and be revised, tightened, just like the right to own weapons in the US might get a good shake up.  Your movie isn’t in vain and you feel it already.

At the time of doing this reading, I haven’t read anything about you on the web except comments on your latest movie.  So it is interesting to see that you come from a very nurturing environment, very soft, very emotional and very, very sensitive.  No hard talk, no tough and unwelcome ideas to hurt who you are and although your upbringing, I sense, may have been unconventional, it was always done with your welfare and well-being being considered, at all levels.  You always remain calm and poised in all circumstances anyway as your consciousness overextends and ‘soaks’ itself into realms only few of us have access to.

For now, I’d recommend to stop being on the defensive and to look at things from a different perspective: let life unfold.  Take your well-deserved rest and enjoy.  It’s like the next few months and all the blabber that surrounds you and your movie controversy will die down… let it go, let it happen.

Best at the moment is to think rationally, that’s what’s going to get you through.  Seek the help of male friends.  One in particular who can help you see clearly through things as you feel a little uninspired in some respects.  There’s nothing more you love than a ground shaking conversation that brings on new ideas and cuts through what needs to be cut through.  There’s a man around you in particular who stands taller than all the others.  Trust him.  He means no harm.  Talk to him.  Who am I talking about?: he wears a large colourful stone ring on his left hand middle finger.  Also, although his emotions are well guarded and kept under check, a part of him loves to ‘communicate’ with nature and he needs to sometimes be alone in nature/talk long walks/travel to see the world and how it really is as opposed to something with a rosy and fake vision.  Now you’re told.

Lastly, it seems you’re not embracing changes at the moment and that you’re better off living your life in the present.  It seems you’re far from home or that you’re often called away from your home and this weighs on you at times.  Not only this, you sometimes wonders where your home is.  Well, stop the questions.  Don’t go home if you’re not sure and don’t even think about it.  You’re not alone in wondering where home is: there are numerous souls who belong to several places at the same time.  I mean, the world is their oyster so make it yours too and stop those nagging, useless questions.  We’re not all the same.  Our lives, as you know, are all very different from one another, despite appearances and one must learn to live with that.

Well, as to your next movie, I did say not another war story a little earlier, didn’t I?  And I’d be right because next comes the story of a war raging inside one single soul who wonders all his/her life what would have happened if he/she had dared moving out of his/her small village but never did.  So that person’s life, which is ending, is going in flashes before its eyes, as you show your public what was imagined and what was real and how that dying person dealt with it.  Very beautiful, very insightful.  War has many facets and you’ll know how to demonstrate this with successful results too.

Well that it’s for today, Ma’am.  I wish you a good week.

Feralbulb.

Andes, Death of a Salesman, John, John Malkovich, Kenny Rogers, Rosie, Sagittarius, Television

–           Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today I’ll be reading for Mr. John Malkovich, born 9 December 1953, a Sagittarius.  Rosie is with me to give me some much needed support.

–           And supervise…

–           To give me support.

–           This is my show.

–           I deserve some trust, you’ve seen me do this before and you know I’m good at it.

–           Feralbulb taught me not to let loose on the goose.

–           I’M NOT FERALBULB!

–           All the same, this show is mine.

–           You’re a control freak.

–           Don’t you insult me in public!  You’d better—

–           —Ladies & Gentlemen, apologies for we’re at it again: I’ve sent Rosie to join her brother, Feralbulb, in the kitchen.  I took the TV, radio and toaster away so they don’t dab into any form of particles to escape.  Here, John, your reading is ready:

Dear John,

You’re just recovering from heartbreak and difficult times as far as relationships are concerned.  You are trying to concentrate on new projects and it seems you’re looking for young blood to replenish castings.  A very wise woman inspires you and is always present to attend all your new projects.  It seems that at times inspiration fails you but that when this lady is around, things kind of happen for you.  It is indicated it is good for you to be supported in this way as you find yourself in a period of fragility.

Currently, the difficult issue is to infuse a new and fresh breath in all your activities as the home front isn’t exactly what fulfils you at the moment.  You need to move, run and see people.  You currently want to explore new horizons, as if you were an explorer visiting the Andes for the first time.  You need to woo your sense of mystery and adventure.

It seems spending ought to be curbed a little or at least, finances shouldn’t be left aside.  It seems also that your generosity is divine and that you give all to those who love and/or close to you.  It may be commendable to be so altruistic but you would be urged not to let your instincts and passions rule your head.  Yeah, yeah, it’s your choice, I get it.  Still, reading your cards, I can only recommend that you use a little caution, righteo, Mr. Malkovich?

Well, well, well John.  Why?  Why are you refusing entirely to see what can’t be seen but can be felt?  Not all is fact.  You’re a man of the craft, you know perfectly well nothing is what it seems when you try and look beyond the beyond.  Actors will have accidents and not turn up on stage, lights will break during a show, a few lines will be missed or pertinent words switched.  Nothing is perfect even if it mostly works out fine.  Something has gotten into you.  What can I say?   Grab the tweezers and extract that something with painstaking patience and resolve.  It’s just a stage.

Your past is full of contradictions.  You’ve been there, done that and yet you don’t feel as if you’ve seen that much.  It’s like you opened up your horizons and shrank it up all at the same time… such is your sense of the surreal.  Everything can be so big, so wide, so magic and everything can be so small, mean and down right down to earth.  There’s a duality within you, an ambivalence that needs looked after and nurtured, but for the sake of balance, one side must not take over the other.  They must remain equal at all times.

What you need is simple: you need rest, calm, balance.  Seek quiet spaces and sleep or meditate or do whatever it takes to find peace with yourself.  It seems that re-reading Shakespeare plays, tragedies and anything that fills your headspace with what is worthy of you, and only that, will help you find solace.

You’re not without resources.  Again, and in moderation, do give to those around you who need it.  It fills that gap in your heart you have currently trouble to listen to.  Also, it seems you believe that working as if work was all you could do on the planet and working very hard at it puts you in a trance that refreshes your mind, as if not thinking too much at times and do physical work or work that is routine, and plenty of it, takes your mind off the numb stage it is currently stuck at.  So pay attention, Johnny M., try and avoid that belief as what you really need at this point in time is let your body rest and make peace with your mind.

Now, let me say this: what you have accumulated should be left where it is and not touched or thought about as it only adds to your worries whereas it is happy sitting where it sits just now.  Also, the explorer within must be let out into the wild.  Go and explore what it is you need to explore.  Move and move on.  Those you love will not go away and will always be here to greet you back.  Go travel within and out.  It is like a pilgrimage you need to attend to as you need to rediscover the world from a different perspective.  You must also relive some emotions and let them out for all and for you to feel.

Interestingly, it feels as if your next play, because you’ll be writing one (and direct it) in which you’ll appear only briefly, will be some very cynical and ironic about a ‘gentle’ psychopath (as opposed to a dangerous one), a hardworking man who never opens up and never let his sensitive side out of the closet, shutting it out as such side might not even exist inside him.  His family will incur major disasters, such as he might have a child permanently sick, another turning to crime his wife leaving him, his friends not being real friends and still, this man will be happy and content working, working, working, accumulating incredible wealth and feel fulfilled, which might be just as depressing as Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’, if such comparison can be made.

I look forward to seeing your next work Johnny Man.

Till next week.
