Establishment of Corruption This morning, I received an email blast from the Santa Clara County Democratic Party saying that Cindy Chavez has their sole endorsement because of her leadership and dedication

to the values and policies Democrats support. They forgot Teresa [Alvarado]!

Last January, I had a conversation with Steve Preminger about the core values of the Democratic Party and how his organization lacks independence when they keep supporting the same establishment, ignoring candidates who come to their interviews.

They forgot to say how this Santa Clara County Democratic Party endorsed Mr. Shirakawa and stayed on his back all the way to the end of his corruption case. They forgot to mention how Cindy Chavez had her alliance with the past supervisor.

We cannot afford to make the same mistakes; we need a “fresh face” on our district.

AARÓN R. RESÉNDEZ, PRESIDENT STORY ROAD BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

Mug Shot Has anyone ever taken a photo of Cindy Chavez where she doesn’t have that expression on her face (“Chain Mail,” SanJoseInside, May 15)?

KEVIN RILEY O’KEEFFE

Pot Shots Go ahead and try to regulate [medical marijuana]. It will only encourage people to grow their own. It seems as if Mayor Reed and the rest of his regime have forgotten all the fires that were started because of illegal grow houses, you can expect that number to climb . I for one do not use, but it is crazy to treat marijuana with stricter regulations than alcohol. People in need will continue to use.

DISGUSTEDINSJ

Several weeks ago, I sent a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein about the recent flap over the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) proposal to change its policy on the length of knife blades permitted through airport security checkpoints.

What I received in reply was a form letter acknowledging my opposition to the TSA change—the exact opposite of my position. Does anyone on the senator’s staff actually read constituent mail? Just to make a point, I wrote back complaining about the response and received another form letter saying, “The truth is, my office receives thousands of letters and telephone calls per week and, regrettably, in your case we made a mistake. I have made note of your comments and am aware of your point of view.” “... receives thousands of letters and phone calls....”

Yes, what a bother.

The truth is, neither Sen. Feinstein nor any of her colleagues would send such careless responses to any of their big campaign contributors. This is because U.S. senators have two classes of constituents—the masses like you and me, and the big contributors, who have the private phone numbers of senior staff to be used to personally discuss an issue of concern or to make an appointment with the senator to make their special pleadings in person.

Even for those of us whose political preferences align with Sen. Feinstein, we insist on not being taken for granted.

Pronounced pa-CHOCK-oo-cha, the idea began in Tokyo in 2003, when two architects craved a more informal, cafe-style setting to present their ideas.

Enter San Jose’s own Ric Bretschneider, one of the folks you can officially blame for PowerPoint’s existence. A longtime software designer and technologist, Bretschneider spent 17 years at Microsoft and finally got sick of people blaming the software for their own inability to give clear, focused presentations.

“I love the application, but I knew the application couldn’t guide the creation of content, without being intrusive,” Bretschneider said. “The example I use all the time is, ‘Well, you can’t blame a hammer for a poorly built chair.’”

Skip to 2009. No longer at Microsoft, Bretschneider discovered the informal PechaKucha phenomenon spreading around the world and realized that San Jose needed its own event.

He took the initiative and launched the first gig in October of that year at the San Jose Improv. Now, specific parties go down around four to six times a year. Any venue of just about any size can host an event with any topic.

Last year, for instance, dozens of folks jammed into the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art to see presenters articulate what San Jose meant for them. Politicians, urban planners, artists and publishers all made the evening a successful San Jose lovefest. Councilmember Sam Liccardo’s presentation was called “Downtown San Jose: Land of Biscotti and Cannoli Trees.”

A few months ago, successive events—PechaKucha San Jose, Volumes 9 and 10—unfolded at the new Cafe Stritch in the former Eulipia space on South First Street. The bar and cafe setting proved to be ideal, with a stage against one wall, plus work by local artists hanging everywhere. It was a jazzy, Bohemian environment, not unlike a neighborhood art cafe in Europe—with local gadflies waxing poetic to PechaKucha technology.

And just last week, another party unfolded at the San Jose Museum of Art. This one was titled “My Design Vision for San Jose,” another lovefest.

The main gallery was between shows—the Eric Fischl exhibit had just come down—and the lobby wall was painted white, a perfect backdrop for a large screen, enabling local business owners and advocates to envision the San Jose they’d all like to see.

Presenter Michelle Beasley kicked off the night by advocating a San Jose dominated by people, not cars. That is, people who walk, exercise, float, dance and connect. People who window shop on foot. Urban spaces catering to pedestrians first and foremost.

She said (I’m paraphrasing) that pedestrians want to walk by interesting buildings, not ugly blank façades and parking garages butting up against the sidewalks. Any public art should reflect the history or people of San Jose. We’re not Anywhereland, America.

The other breath of fresh air was Tracey Ariga. Her unabashed optimism about accessibility, approachability and transparency concluded with her declaring that she just loves San Jose, plain and simple. Thunderous applause followed.

That sentiment was the theme of the whole night. Steve Borkenhagen of Cafe Stritch also made a presentation, articulating what many of us have noticed about downtown in the last two years: that a new generation of people aged 20–35 are starting independent businesses and trying to make awesome stuff happen, all at the same time, right now. It’s never been that way before. Even a terminally unimpressed columnist can say so.

All in all, PechaKucha is an effective presentation format for teaching people how to focus their thoughts into a concise production without wandering all over the place and boring the audience.

“It isn’t, strictly speaking, the way you’d do all your business presentations,” said Bretschneider.

“It’s more like an exercise you do to teach yourself techniques on how to focus and how to bring just the points across.”

The Comeback King LL Cool J is back with a new album and a tour featuring some of the biggest names in early hip-hop BY MATT CRAWFORD

W

HILE LL Cool J might not be knocking out hits like he did early in his career, the veteran emcee has orchestrated one of the biggest hip-hop shows of the summer concert season with the Kings of the Mic Tour, also featuring Ice Cube, Public Enemy and De La Soul.

Stopping at Shoreline Amphitheatre on May 25, it’s a tour far removed from the lean and molly scene found in

popular rap music today, but just as relevant for the role each act had in shaping the genre and their diversity of styles. LL Cool J was its first sex symbol, Ice Cube and his partners in N.W.A introduced gangster rap to the world, Public Enemy brought revolutionary rhymes and political assassinations to the mix and De La Soul added depth with their brand of NYC bohemian hip-hop.

for folks to check out the “in-your-face, custom-made walk-in cooler” Toppings Tree in Santa Clara is one Filipino restaurant on the forefront of this next to the main bar. Guests can gaze at the unique direct-draw draft venture. It is part of a slew of newer Filipino restaurants that are starting to take system—the tap handles are connected to the kegs, eliminating draft hold. Many of these restaurants differ from the traditional turo-turo (literally, lines and helping to keep the beer at the highest quality and freshness “point, point”) restaurants, in which food is prepared ahead of time and sits in levels. Having 30 draft beers is a manageable number for staff, Ted says: steam baths for customers to choose from. These new-generation restaurants “I want them to know exactly what we’re serving. I want to be able to are smartly decorated, offer descriptive menus and produce dishes that are give genuine beer recommendations, so ongoing beer education will be aesthetically pleasing—a purported detriment of many Filipino dishes. important.”

Here, the pork Some examples from the tidy menu of 25 items include pork belly ruffles are served with a zesty vinegar jalapeño sauce. Very good, but because it is offal calls for a level of adventurousness. The tocino ($6.95/$10.95) served with pickled green papaya, steaming rice and an over-easy egg, is one of those unexpected dishes that opens one’s taste buds. The meat is cured for several days and traditionally pan fried, although Toppings grills theirs. Reddish in color and glazed in appearance, it has a smoky and caramelized richness.

I was curious about the beef pares, one of the restaurant’s newest dishes and a common street food. Pares means “pair,” because the seasoned beef is usually paired with garlic fried rice and soup. The brisket was slow-cooked and topped with heaps of toasted garlic and green onions. The soup and rice were nice afterthoughts against the robust backdrop of the meat. There is truly something for everyone here, from the foodies to traditionalists looking for the tastes of home. The flavors are exciting, alluring and largely unexplored.—Kristine Bautista TOPPINGS TREE 1171 Homestead Road, Santa Clara; 408.615.1804

Any time I am at a Mediterranean restaurant, there is no doubt I’m having some baklava. Apparently, the owner told me, both Turkey and Greece claim ownership to its creation. Instead of honey, Five Star Falafel’s baklava is made with a liquidy, homemade syrup. This results in sweeter flavors. An order comes with two and is $2.50. The highlight of my meal was the kunefe, which tasted kind of like a sweet grilled-cheese sandwich. For $3.99, it is made from a unique Turkish cheese they call “sweet cheese” that is used almost exclusively for kunefe.

The cheese is encased in shredded filo dough, cooked for 10 minutes and served hot with the same sweet syrup as the baklava.—Aaron Carnes FIVE STAR FALAFEL AND KEBABS 3099 El Camino Real, Santa Clara; 408.241.1900

SKRATCHPAD SAN JOSE WITH DJ TRAPS Paddy’s at Johnny V’s, San Jose Wed – 9:30pm; $3 Amateur turntablists or just fans of the art of scratching should be sure to check out Skratchpad San Jose, a monthly gathering at Paddy’s, where people can take turns showing off their scratching skills or just watch as the pros show them how it’s done (with both planned and improvised sets). Skratchpad started in San Francisco in 2003, with similar such events for DJs at all levels.

Chapters have since cropped up all over the West Coast, with Ichy the Killer, DJ Vex and Cut Fresh

It should also be an interesting night in that show organizer Nelly Calvo has gathered approximately 15 South Bay artists to sell their paintings, jewelry and clothing. A couple of the artists include Laura Amy, Monica King and, of course, Calvo. (AC)

MIDTOWN BEAT

The place will stay open late, encouraging other businesses in the area to do the same (so far the Arsenal and Current Tattooing are on board) and bringing live jazz to the store.

For starters, Art Boutiki wants to do its own version of First Fridays over on The Alameda—but on the fourth Friday of the month.

It is being called Midtown Beat.

Cosplayers nationwide have been waiting anxiously for this year’s FanimeCon. Part of the fun at FanimeCon is seeing the creativity fans put into their costumes, usually based on popular anime, manga and videogame characters. This year the convention plays host to stars like

Chris Patton, 7!!, Hiroyuki Yamaga and many more. In addition to special guests are all sorts of exhibits, panels, dances and themed parties for three days, all with the purpose of celebrating beloved names in Japanese pop culture. (AD)

Qwel and Maker, two of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best underground hip-hop artists, are coming to San Jose. They got their start, separately, in the early 2000s, Qwel as an emcee in the throwback crew, Typical Cats, and Maker as an independent producer (and then later for Glue).

They joined forces in 2004 and have since released four albums together. The mixture of Qwelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought-provoking, introspective lyrics with Makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soulful, classic boom-bap beats were immediately a natural ďŹ t. As their partnership progressed, Makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beats have gotten grimier and more hypnotic, while Qwel has really pushed the boundaries of personal expression, with some sophisticated, rapid-ďŹ re delivery.

Logic and Impulse 9== Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Kirk (Chris Pine) take on the universe again in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’

DXib\k ]fiZ\j glcc k_\ ]iXeZ_`j\ `e knf [`i\Zk`fej `e A%A% 8YiXdjÊ JkXi Ki\b @ekf ;Xibe\jj

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

Chris Pine’s resemblance to our Shatner is mostly physical, a babyfaced thuggery; he’s more lowdown, and he has motorcyclist’s hooks to the cut of his sideburns. There’s no Shakespeare in him, though, as there was in the Shat. Pine’s Kirk is made out of almost pure proactiveness.

Ultimately, the enjoyable sequel to the highly enjoyable reboot doesn’t show Kirk growing, no matter how the film assures us that he is growing.

God bless him, Kirk is impulsive.

The capacity for self-sacrifice is

strong—from a reverse angle, Star Trek Into Darkness replays the single most powerful moment in the Star Trek movie series. But Kirk’s consistent refusal to follow directions is always ultimately applauded as his greatest strength, and never here as the true weakness it can be in the military and in real life.

As a fantasy, the film moves along: visual density is kept up with flying debris, contrails in space and director J.J. Abrams’ trademark lens flares. If the Enterprise had zoomed past a black hole, Abrams would have given it a prisming shaft of spreading light. But like the show that foaled it, Star Trek Into Darkness is earnestly trying to be about something—you can understand the reason it’s dedicated to the soldiers who serve in the War on Terror, because it could easily be peacenik-baited.

Like Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness is nicely transparent allegory about overreaction to a terrorist act.

The plotting gets unlikely—sometimes it seems the Enterprise is trying its best

flyy right into a hostage situation. situation But to fl the film gives the villain the benefit of a reason. He is called John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). He coldbloodedly commissions the suicide bombing of a London archive. The sequence is thoroughly effective, from the picking of the victim to the reveal of Cumberbatch’s startlingly feline face to the ingenious way in which the destruction is carried out.

Harrison then flees to the one planet from which he cannot be extradited.

Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the vaudeville-accented gang fly to the planet to pilot (essentially) a drone strike. The legalities of drone strikes cause a rift in the crew, some of whom feel Harrison must be brought to Earth and given a trial.

So there is some chewiness here in between battleship broadsides and a starship crash right into downtown San Francisco, including a warp-speed dog-fight that is short but rousing.

The script seems to have been retrofitted with women. Not counting the alien chicks, there are three. Zoe Saldana’s Uhura gets at least one opportunity to almost save the day, but mostly she ends up in a womenare-from-Venus, men-are-from-Vulcan situation with Spock. There’s a blonde semi-stowaway (Alice Eve, and if the

name sounds fabricated, that’s the way the actress looks). Most baffling, there’s a bald, lipsticked androgyne, a red-shirted lieutenant who keeps catching our eye but who is otherwise unexplained.

Speaking of crying games (if that’s what’s going on), when you watch a franchise that you’ve been watching since you were old enough to have eyes, it’s impossible to watch with completely clear ones.

Sometimes J.J. Abrams and the three credited scriptwriters overdo the attempts to get you to fog your 3D glasses. The best of these tear-pumpers are the simplest: the passing mention of a starship called the USS Bradbury, or Kirk helplessly extending his arm to a crewman falling past him to his death. emo The bigger emotional climax is, m sadly, mush. To make it plain: I want to be the weakling who snivels when manf Spock looks manfully at Kirk, barely em concealing his emotions.

I don’t want sni at each other. to watch them snivel Quinto is an od odd duck—a pale overexplainer so pedantic Poindexter, an ove you feel for him. I loved the way Spock dropped his jaw a little when Ki Kirk kd declares l hi his ffriendship, as if what the captain had said was shockingly indecent. When Quinto’s Spock and Pine’s Kirk look at each other, it’s clear there could be no other serious affection in each other’s lives: the prophecies in the slash fiction are fulfilled.

These reboots are a fight between market forces, between what a friend dismissively calls “gamer crap” and the sturdy roots of the Trek mythos, whose lifeblood (and sap) come from 20thcentury moviemaking.

The tensions resemble the same quarrel between military ardor and technical expertise played out in every giant-insect movie ever made; eventually, the white coats and the top brass patch up the differences between them over the bodies of the dead alien invaders. Maybe I’m being too hard on the Captain. Kirk is still essentially out of control when the movie ends, but maybe, just maybe, he’s beginning to see the light of logic. No, probably just another lens flare.

(1957/1956) Two marvelous features by neon-dazzled madman director Frank Tashlin, a former animator turned celebrator of 1950s excess.

Ad man Tony Randall finds his life upended after he signs up the greatly-bosomed Rita Marlowe (the amazing Jayne Mansfield) to shill for his lipstick company. Tashlin claimed this was his best film. No, that would be the Amercian Idol–icious earlier version of a similar plot, The Girl Can’t Help It, which is double-billed with Success. Suffering promo-man Tom Ewell gets hired to make a singing star of the mistress of a quite dangerous gangster (Edmond O’Brien). Only problem: even if her figure literally stops traffic, her voice could etch glass. Too many rock legends to name show up to enliven the story, and the priceless jewel that is Little Richard finds a solid-gold setting here. You seriously need this movie.

Mad Doctor AN INTERVENTION brings the three members of the Wolfpack together again in The Hangover Part III, with three times the enervation: “We want to tell you all about an awesome place called New Horizons ... ” The intervened-upon one is Alan (Zack Galifianakis). During the gang’s drive to the drying-out center in Phoenix, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and brother-in-law Doug ( Justin Bartha) are kidnapped by a gangster named Marshall (an understandably weary John Goodman) who wants them to find his nemesis, Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong).

The boys track this criminal from Tijuana to Las Vegas.

The actors are short with each other, as if they’d had enough of each other’s company. Not that the only purpose of women in guys’ movies is to refresh the men (even if it sure seems that way), but there are no women to refresh them. Wait, there is a short, badly written reunion with Heather Graham (they need to find her because she used to be a prostitute), and Melissa McCarthy gives 10 good snarling minutes as a pawn shop cashier. In this grouchy movie, Helms gets a few moments. Battered and grimacing with anxiety and behind the wheel of a car,

Helms shows the makings of a serious film noir patsy.

Jeong, however, is first, last and foremost in this movie. “He is madness,” Marshall declares. Jeong is a real-life physician turned comedian who has achieved the performance artist’s dream of using nudity as a weapon and the immigrants’ dream The Hangover of using pidgin English Part III to put the well-spoken in R; 100 min. their place. His Chow is Opens seen sailing in a parachute Thursday over the Vegas skyline screaming, “I love cocaine!” and posing as the John Woo cool killer in wraparounds and cowboy boots—a bit diminutive for the role. He is a satyr ordering “girls, boys and bath salts” in the penthouse of Caesars Palace.

To find Jeong’s like, you need to go back to Peter Lorre movies, when leading ladies and manly men alike were upstaged by a furtive, short Hungarian with bad teeth. Lorre wasn’t above Asian dialect—the Mr. Moto movies are not what they seem, and that Stanfordgrad man of mystery was nobody’s houseboy. The Hangover series is spent, but the weird trickster Jeong has more to give us.—Richard von Busack

CONCERT

St. James Park Downtown, San Jose BIG TIME Organizers say Music in the Park outgrew it’s home at Plaza de César Chávez.

JOHN MAYALL RUTHIE FOSTER ROY ROGERS

Music Criticism The announcement that Music in the Park would return as a ticketed event after a one-year hiatus stirred an online debate about the festival and what it means to the community in San Jose.

& the delta rhythm kings

GIRLS GOT THE BLUES

Instead of a free weekly event this year, Music in the Park will return with just one announced show featuring Ozomatli on July 19 at St. James Park to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

“By gating the park and charging admission, we believe the focus will be on the music,” said Blage Zelalich, deputy director at San Jose Downtown Association in a release about the announcement.

The announcement quickly went viral with varied responses, from agreement with the changes to accusations that organizers are pricing out San Jose’s low income community: “[It] has nothing to do with outgrowing the venue, it’s all the lowlifes that ended up showing up and causing trouble. Let’s be honest about it: I got so sick from smelling the pot all over the place and disgusted with how people behaved. I was glad and upset that they cancelled it.” ~ @prncslea71 “Wack! Again depriving the poor and “underprivileged” the right to experience art. Massive FAIL San Jose!” ~ Chrystie Mariano “I went to Music in the Park various times the last summer it existed. I was also very disappointed they canceled it. But I wasn’t mad at the people who canceled it, I was mad at the gangsters and people doing drugs and getting S!@#faced and fighting.” ~ Peter Prciado

Admission:

“More like keeping out the riffraff. 16 year olds need to be home studying or working, not trying to kick it with grown folks. If you’re grown and can’t pay $10, you should be looking for a job not hanging out on a work night. Just my opinion, though.” ~ Kimberly Pena

“Yeah, so we cancelled a free event with more than two decades worth of momentum because the Santana Row types don’t like the ethnic and cultural makeup of a decent clip of our neighbors and fellow citizens. While it seems like only hedge-fund managers and software engineers can afford to live in the valley, the facts for now still show otherwise, with disenfranchised youngsters hanging out at McDonalds blocks away causing most of the problems (no one os shutting down Micky Ds though, unfortunately).” ~ @Manodenada —Matt Crawford

You, like many people, get so caught up in being irritated at somebody’s behavior that you forget that you never asked the person to stop. You did try other means of communication, but unless you’ve had success moving dishes to the sink with your thoughts and then getting whoever’s dining with you to wash them, you should probably consider telepathy a bust. And sure, persistent pained looks could suggest that you are very much not up for a drink and a thigh rub—or that you forgot to eat your Activia again.

Having held in your feelings for so long, it’s easy to explode and blurt out “You need to stop hitting on me!” or, referencing the woman she’s publicly disrespecting, “Touch base with the fact

you have a girlfriend instead of my inner thigh!”

With either statement, you’re accusing and criticizing her—and rightfully so.

The problem is, as psychotherapist Dr. Carl Alasko wisely points out in Beyond Blame, criticizing a person leads to anger, denial and defensiveness, not change.

To get Miss Wanderhands to listen instead of blowing up, remain calm and use passive language that focuses on the action you want changed and your feelings about it, for example, “This level of touchy-feeliness makes me very uncomfortable.” This tells her “The petting zoo is closed” as opposed to “You’re a bad person!” If she persists or makes some unwanted confession, you can be more direct: “Look, I’m not interested. Please stop.”

As for your friend, keep in mind that she may not be ready to see what’s going on, as this would require her to take some sort of action she may not be ready to take.

Like many people in the early stages of a relationship, you have some questions about your partner, like how you can get him to stop using so many squares of toilet paper. On a positive note, you don’t mention anything about his following the Great Pacific Garbage Patch on Twitter to see whether any of the litter he tossed in the ocean made its way there.

That said, if your immediate world will be a dark and horrible place if the man in your life refuses to rinse and reuse his aluminum foil, you may be with the wrong man. Otherwise, the question is, do you want to be in a relationship or a twoperson political movement?

If it’s a relationship you want, forget trying to lecture him into changing (which tends to create rebels, not converts), and accept that you may be able to influence him. You do that simply by being who you are, doing what you do and being passionate about it—and all the better if you do all of that while wearing the hottest in hemp lingerie. Who knows, you two lovebirds could soon find yourselves enjoying the first few of a lifetime of romantic nights dining in the garden— chewing on plants to avoid dirtying dishes and increasing your collective carbon footprint.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21–April 19): “I’m still learning,” said Michelangelo when he was 87 years old. For now, he’s your patron saint. With his unflagging curiosity as your inspiration, maybe your hunger for new teachings will bloom. You will register the fact that you don’t already know everything there is to know ... you have not yet acquired all the skills you were born to master … you’re still in the early stages of exploring whole swaths of experience that will be important to you as you become the person you want to be. Even if you’re not enrolled in a formal school, it’s time to take your education to the next level.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman admitted that physicists can’t really define “energy,” let alone understand it. “We have no knowledge of what energy is,” he said. “We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite amount.” While it’s unlikely that in the coming weeks you Tauruses will advance the scientific understanding of energy, you will almost certainly boost your natural grasp of what energy feels like both inside and outside of your body. You will develop a more intuitive knack for how it ebbs and flows. You will discover useful tips about how to make it work for you rather than against you. You’re already a pretty smart animal, but soon you’ll get even smarter.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): Giant Sequoias are the biggest trees on the planet. Many are more than 300 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Their longevity is legendary, too. They can live for 2,000 years. And yet their seeds are tiny. If you had a bag of 91,000 seeds, it would weigh one pound. I suspect there’s currently a resemblance between you and the Giant Sequoia, Gemini. You’re close to acquiring a small kernel that has the potential to grow into a strong and enduring creation. Do you know what I’m talking about? Identify it. Start nurturing it.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): Don’t take yourself too seriously. The more willing you are to make fun of your problems, the greater the likelihood is that you will actually solve them. If you’re blithe and breezy and buoyant, you will be less of a magnet for suffering.

To this end, say the following affirmations out loud.

1.) “I’m willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.” 2.) “I’m sorry, but I’m not apologizing any more.” 3.) “Suffering makes you deep. Travel makes you broad. I’d rather travel.” 4.) “My commitment is to truth, not consistency.” 5.) “The hell with enlightenment, I want to have a tantrum.” 6.) “I stopped fighting my inner demons. We’re on the same side now.”

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): Would you buy a stuffed bunny or a baby blanket that was handcrafted by a prisoner on death row? Would you go to a cafe and eat a sandwich that was made by an employee who was screaming angrily at another employee while he made your food? Would you wear a shirt that was sewn by a 10-year-old Bangladeshi girl who works 12 hours every day with a machine that could cut off her fingers if she makes one wrong move? Questions like these will be good for you to ask yourself, Leo. It’s important for you to evaluate the origins of all the things you welcome into your life—and to make sure they are in alignment with your highest values and supportive of your well-being.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): Having good posture tends to make you look alert and vigorous. More than that, it lowers stress levels in your tissues and facilitates the circulation of your bodily fluids. You can breathe better, too. In the coming weeks, I urge you to give yourself this blessing: the gift of good posture. I encourage you to bestow a host of other favors, too.

Specialize in treating yourself with extra sweetness and compassion. Explore different ways to get excited, awaken your sense of wonder, and be in love with your life. If anyone calls you a self-involved narcissist, tell them you’re just doing what your astrologer prescribed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): The German word Fernweh can be translated as “wanderlust.” Its literal meaning is “farsickness” or “an ache for the distance.” Another German word, Wandertrieb, may be rendered as “migratory instinct” or “passion to travel.” I suspect urges like these may be welling up in you right now.

You could use a break from your familiar pleasures and

9p ROB BREZSNY n\\b f] DXp ))

the comforts you’ve been taking for granted. Moreover, you would attract an unexpected healing into your life by rambling off into the unknown.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): We call it “longing,” says poet Robert Haas, “because desire is full of endless distances.” In other words, you and the object of your yearning may be worlds apart even though you are right next to each other. For that matter, there may be a vast expanse between you and a person you consider an intimate ally; your secret life and his or her secret life might be mysteries to each other. That’s the bad news, Scorpio. The good news is that you’re in a phase when you have extraordinary power to shrink the distances. Get closer! Call on your ingenuity and courage to do so.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Are you ready to go deeper, Sagittarius? In fact, would you be willing to go deeper and deeper and deeper? I foresee the possibility that you might benefit from diving in over your head. I suspect that the fear you feel as you dare to descend will be an acceptable trade-off for the educational thrills you will experience once you’re way down below. The darkness you encounter will be fertile, not evil. It will energize you, not deplete you.

And if you’re worried that such a foray might feel claustrophobic, hear my prediction: In the long run it will enhance your freedom.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): In the course of his 91 years on the planet, artist Pablo Picasso lived in many different houses, some of them rentals. When inspired by the sudden eruption of creative urges, he had no inhibitions about drawing and doodling on the white walls of those temporary dwellings. On one occasion, his landlord got upset. He ordered Picasso to pay him a penalty fee so that he could have the sketches painted over. Given the fact that Picasso ultimately became the bestselling artist of all time, that landlord may have wished he’d left the squiggles intact.

In every way you can imagine, Capricorn, don’t be like that landlord in the coming week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): “I was often in love with something or someone,” wrote Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz. “I would fall in love with a monkey made of rags. With a plywood squirrel. With a botanical atlas. With an oriole. With a ferret. With the forest one sees to the right when riding in a cart. With human beings whose names still move me.” Your task, Aquarius, is to experiment with his approach to love. Make it a fun game: See how often you can feel adoration for unexpected characters and creatures. Be infatuated with curious objects … with snarky Internet memes … with fleeting phenomena like storms and swirling flocks of birds and candy spilled on the floor.

Your mission is to supercharge your lust for life.

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): Scientists in Brazil discovered a huge new body of water 13,000 feet beneath the Amazon River. It’s completely underground. Named the Hamza River, it moves quite slowly, and is technically more of an aquifer than a river.

It’s almost as long as the Amazon, and much wider. In accordance with the astrological omens, Pisces, I’m making the Hamza River your symbol of the week.

Use it to inspire you as you uncover hidden resources.

Meditate on the possibility that you have within you a secret reservoir of vitality that lies beneath your wellknown sources. See if you can tap into deep feelings that are so deep you’ve been barely conscious of them.
