I see Dead people...
Well.... not really, but Saturday night I visited the great know all and end all of mystic story telling convention!
No wait it was a Psychic Convention. Too bad they never saw me coming though, else they would be prepared.
I myself an a skeptical person, well to be honest... I really don't buy into that shit. How can you tell my past, present and future through my palm. What if I had extra dry hands that day, or what if I had dirty hands. How could they properly read, or pretend to read. I guess this is just another thing to place faith into. But honestly, what is the point. We live in a world and age, where shit just happens. It has always been that way. So basically I walked around the convention with my beautiful friend Skye Jackson and mingled with the psychics, or in fact get nagged by there promotional attempts at trying to get me to buy into their crap.
I spent 10 dollars and went to two seminars. The ten dollars were put towards this thing that calculated your birthdate, place of birth and name into six page report. AND IT ONLY TOOK 10 MINUTES. Wow, that is service.
Here are some exerpts:
Emotionally you tend to be cool and reserved --some might say cold-- and though you usually appear self-assured and secure what you are really is insecure and unsure about making a commitment. You are picky about who you choose for a partner-- just as you are a perfectionist in everything. You're cautious and can be very critical of those you care for -- and your love of logic over feelings lets you voice those criticisms even if it hurts the ones you love. You feel the need to HELP and are dutiful and Loyal.
You may take the initiative in love when you are bored but you try to be subtle -- and generally prefer to attract than pursue. Emotionally you're very vulnerable and sensitive and have a deep need for intimacy and security and reassurance that you're loved.
This is just an example of what I was given, and although I think it is funny. I just wonder one thing: How in the hell can you tell all of this from my birthdate, birthname and place of birth. this reminds me of that Simpsons episode where homer was tempted by another women. The fortune cookie said he would find happiness with a new love. Moments later it switches to the kitchen and the waiter says they are out of find new love cookies. the cook says to use the stay with your wife ones. This is sooo simillar to what happened to me. I bet you some guy in another part of the world simple mix and matched several templates together and emailed them back to the lady taking the information. but at least it is fast service. And we are a fast service society.
The seminars I went to were: Lucid dreaming, and Tarrot Card demostration.
the first was the tarrot card demostration. the audience picked a card from the deck and she would read them out. Skye got Moon card, supposively it meant big change will happen in her life this year. I got the temperance card, and supposivily i am healthy mentally and physically and in all the other aspects *cough*bullshit*cough* and that I should seek out spirituality. Which will happen when Santa Claus flies on over and gives me a lift to the Easter bunnies house so we can play some pool before doing to the bar to pick up chicks on valentines day. But at least she was interesting to listen to. I wonder if most of what she was saying just came off the top of her head. all you really need to do is look at someone and throw some things together and THEY WILL BUY IT. We as a people are gullable.
The next seminar was Michael "Telstarr" and his exceptionally boring, please hand me a hand gun and end my misery, speech on Lucid dreaming. My only thoughts on it was, whatever drugs he was doing or was on at the time convinced me I want those same drugs. All I remember from that guy was "look at your hands and you will know you're not dreaming"
Excuse me all for a moment, i will write again, I gotta look at my hands now!
