Astrology and etcetera....

Okay, because these kinds of things interest me, I was looking at the birthdates for Sam and Dean Winchester, versus the birthdates for Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.

So. Dean's canon birthdate is January 24, 1979, which makes him a Capricorn. Sam's official birth was May 2, 1983, so he's a Taurus. Pretty much classic, boiled-down-to-basics astrology and a good match for a partnership. Someone did their reading before they assigned birthdates for the characters . . . even if all they read were the Wikipedia entries. I mean, astrology is much more that just the sun sign.

It's probably asking a bit much for a complete natal chart on each of the Winchesters, huh?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Then, because I'm a dork, I looked up the birthdates for J2, and, holy cow!

At least on the surface, you can't get more simpatico than the two of them. Pisces and Cancer: they practically have a psychic link! No wonder they seem so comfortable together.

I think I might KILL to get my hands on their natal charts and do a breakdown of their relationship.

I know, I know, that's horribly invasive and none of my business. This is the kind of reason why I don't go to conventions or make any effort to actually meet these actors that I crush on so fiercely . . . either I'm going to totally freeze up, or I'm going to be one of those horrible people who give fans a bad name. It's a horrible thought and sends me running for the hills every time I even vaguely contemplate attending a con.

Secretly, I harbor the deep-seated fear that I'll somehow manage to hit a pedestrian and it will suddenly turn out to be, you know, some actor that I'm lusting over, and I'll have a complete nervous breakdown and start doing crazy-ass stuff like licking the blood from his ( hopefully only attractively injured ) forehead or something.

The flip side of that is the fantasy that the universe will somehow engineer a meeting ( for which, obviously, I take *no* responsibility-- notice the passive voice, here? ) and that I will be just as bitchy and proud and vicious and sarcastic and selfish and horrible as I am in real life and he ( whomever, flavor-of-the-week of your choice ) will still find me interesting and will fall madly in love with my bad self. That's my version of a fairy tale.

Funny how they never quite work out that way.

MUSICAL ARGUMENT.

So, some people attribute this song to Christian Kane's band, Kane . . . others credit the Belgian / Danish / Netherlander artist. I wish I could figure out which is the correct country of origin, but I've seen each nationality mentioned in biographies and I can't determine the authenticity of any website except the official artist site, which of course is written in something other than English, and thus I am at a loss. If anyone knows for sure, please pipe up!

I can't ID the singer by voice, but I'm leaning towards believing it's the European Kane, because it just doesn't seem to be country-sounding enough for Christian Kane. Also, it's categorized by several music services as "Dance", and has been remixed by no less a personage than DJ Tiesto, and that seems to put it a bit outside the scope of a fairly run-of-the-mill indie-country-rock sound.

Hey! Put down that rock! Christian Kane's voice is sex on a stick to me, but I'm not hearing anything particularly distinctive from his band. I still like it, though, even if the main thing Kane has going for it is, well . . . Kane.

Anybody have this song to upload? I'll trade you something for it.

Rain Down On Me


I've been running through this town,
I've been combing every street.
I've been searching for the reason within reasons,
Been searching for the higher ground in me.
And I've been trying to surrender,
To trust in every word.
All my days of misery,
Someone could have taken them from me.

I've been searching for myself,
For oh so many times.
I've been searching for the answer within answers,
But no one seems to know what's on my mind.
Craving for her love,
Aching for her touch,
All my days of misery, someone could have taken them from me.

So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me....
Rain down on me.

If only for a day,
Oh if only for one night,
I could tell you this is everything that i have ever lived for,
But I'd be giving it all away.
So look into these eyes,
And tell me how you feel.
All my days of misery, someone could have taken them from me.

So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me...
Rain down on me.
