Spiritual Cowgirl

…all Red really wants you to do is get out of your spiritual seats and start freestylin’

According to the traditional Tarot system, in which you find your “soul card” based on your astrology and numerology, my card is The Empress. But here’s a fun sight where your card is based more on your personality at the moment. Apparently, mine is The Star. For now. Who might you be?

Take the test

California is in a political tizzy today. In the liberal bubble of San Fran, my hometown, the energy is electric and green and smells like teen spirit. While I’m psyched to see both a woman and a man of color duking it out for Prez candidacy, and would be happy enough with either one, my vote today is for Obama.

I just received too pro-Obama videos:

This one made me misty eyed.

This one, although a bit cruel to Hillary (and not quite cruel enough to the GOP), made me laugh.

You need a bit of both tears and laughter when it comes to America’s current political situation….

Who’s rocking your political boat these days?

Check out this very intriguing site that documents the way we feel…minute by minute..if we’re blogging about it. Hmm…I wonder what it’s picked up from this site, or yours?

“We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentine’s Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on.”

How are you feeling right now?
