Your Sun Sign: Capricorn Element: Earth Key Planet: Saturn The sure-footed Mountain Goat can climb to higher altitudes than any other mammal. And you sure-footed Capricorns are also well-suited for climbing. You set high goals for yourself and then you overcome whatever obstacles may appear between you and the top of your personal mountain. As you climb the ladder of success, your ambition pushes you forward. Status can be important to you and often, at the top of your game, you gain personal satisfaction by knowing that others respect you for what you have accomplished.

A Clockwork Orange (my fave quotes)

“We study the problem. We’ve been studying it for damn well near a century, yes, but we get no further with our studies. You’ve got a good home here, good loving parents.

 I can't really enjoy or listen to Mellow Gold or "Loser" (as classic as it is) with the same expected teenage disaffected angst anymore these days than Beck himself can sing it with any sort of fun anymore anyway, because the single wasn't supposed to be pirated as it was and accidentally and inadvertently portray an entire generation in the 90s (by the "corporate rock whores" of radio, thanks), as slackers, which further perpetuated the stereotype that we all dropped out of school to do meth or join bands, even if that is what many did (and whose to say were the worse for it?). Because it brought us Beck for one, who has come so far since then, from the hyped, stereotyped 90s of now, and then (since we all still want to remember them like they were yesterday and soooo great when the truth is, they kind of sucked, which is the secret to why they are timeless and the stuff of legend) which basically means someday, the world might actually, gradually forge...
