Who was saint Patrick? Nobody seems to care. All I see is green, and all I hear is cheers! Needless to say this isn't about some dead guy canonized by the church, nor is it about drinking, though that will take a roll in this episode. You see March 17th is not only a day to lose yourself in drink and swirls of green attire, it's also my mothers birthday, and today I was feeling a little glum, as both her and I are alone in a foreign country, feeling the weight of our lonely paths in this world.
No Plan Japan 2 : The Celestial Decision
There was once a time when astrology fell under the "woo woo" category for me, and the idea of deciding anything, especially anything important because of it was not only irresponsible but worse than gambling.

One that would let me know that what I was about to do would result in good things, instead of bad ones.
