I was talking to a pal about Arie, maybe you remember him. He’s the genius ex- Special Forces soldier I knew briefly. I will probably know him again, briefly because I liked Arie quite a bit, his psycho-ness aside, because he was unique and entertaining.

So I’m sure I’ll rattle his cage again at some point and when I do, he will probably respond because he liked me quite a bit, my psycho-ness aside, because I was unique and entertained. Continue reading Arie, the Shopping Special Forces Ballerina Cop: Stellium in Aquarius, Scorpio Moon

Now here’s another story about people who on separate sides with something in common.

Genius and criminal mind, Arie, joined Special Forces as a teenager. He retired after one term (or whatever you call it) and went to work for San Francisco Police Department for the next thirty years. One day he got a call.

Apparently some person or persons was in a gas station restroom, creating some kind of problem for the other customers. The owner of the station called the police.

Arie responded… he banged on the door of the ladies restroom and when there was no response, he opened the door and entered the small room.

He knew there was someone in one of the stalls… apparently he could see some of their clothes hanging down, because the woman, a whore, was standing on the toilet.

“I was just going to ask her to shoot up elsewhere,” he said. But when he pushed the door to the stall open, this gal was standing on the toilet with a gun pointed at him and before he could speak, she fired it!

The bullet hit him in chest. It hit his breast bone, specifically and being highly trained he immediately emptied the bullets in his gun into this gal’s head and that was that.

Now this is an example of people with very different lives but it’s hard to believe they don’t have something in common, when they both wind up in a toilet with a gun pointed at another person at close range… and then they both shoot to kill!

And I think this is akin to the signs that oppose each other in astrology. They relate and that’s all there is to it.

Have you ever two people face off like this?

A couple people have linked to my blog this week and I just want to thank them, along with everyone else who generously links here. I work very hard and the more people who stop by; the easier it is for me to produce.

This is because I am fueled by other people’s energy so if you want to help me and this blog to thrive, please post a link because this kind of support helps tremendously.

On other notes…

The Mars topic is very interesting to me and there is sure to be more on this topic. Meantime, if you’re new around here and you want to see how my Mars in Libra acted in a similar situation the Molested Pisces found herself in, you can read the story of “Little Mike”.

And at the end of that story, (just keep clicking the links) I posted comments from genius Arie, who feels “A reprobate is a reprobate is a reprobate”. Arie is an ex- Special Forces soldier and has more than 30 years in law enforcement, so knows a thing or two about Mars!

Last, how’s this for Pluto (taboo, sex) in Sagittarius (religion)?

ChristiaNet Poll Finds That Evangelicals Are Addicted to Porn

You voted:

Leopards can change their spots…
Yes - Scott (54%)
No - Arie (46%)

If I were on the jury, I would vote with Arie. A reprobate is a reprobate is a reprobate! And Arie would probably tell you he knows about reprobates because what do you think he is? He’s a reprobate, of course!

Arie was a little 14-year-old reprobate criminal when he got his ass kicked but good. Crafty and arrogant, Arie decided he was going to extort money from a grown-up big time drug dealing reprobate, which turned out to be a major mistake.

In lieu of the payday he anticipated, he found himself beaten half to death, and that was before he was tied up and stuffed in the trunk of some killer’s car and driven around half the night!

And when Arie survived that night, yes. He did decide to take another career path.

And yes. He did spend roughly 35 years in service, and performed countless heroic acts. But please. Arie is still is a reprobate!

Like a sober alcoholic is still and alcoholic. Or like me.

I am a committed commitment-phobic! But I am still a commitment-phobe, are you kidding? I was born a commitment-phobic and how is that going to change? It’s not.

“Oh boy! I love this commitment stuff!”

Hah! That’ll never happen. You will never hear me say that.

Like the Aquarian who wakes up one day and wants to be smothered. You do what you want. I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for something like that to happen. Arie is right. A reprobate is a reprobate is a reprobate. Scott is right. People have free will.

I have decided the consequences of acting on my commitment-phobia are not worth the candle. I have decided not to act in a way that is criminal; however I still have a criminal mind! I stole a truck when I was 10, for Godsakes! I moved into a male barracks without bothering to join the army. I went undercover as gay man! Let’s face it! If I think I can get away with it, I’m going to do it.

And now I am the very grown-up advice-giving mother of two. And one of the things I am committed to is writing this blog. But that does not mean I do not wish to escape it on a weekly basis because I do. And it does not mean I do not have another escapade planned, because I do.

And if a random opportunity for some other outrageous exploit crosses my path, I will be on that thing in 2 seconds. How could I not? This is what I do. It’is who I am. And meantime?

Well, just like reprobate, Arie when he is out there saving lives for three decades. my criminal mind is all over this blog. It’s in virtually every post.

So there you go. A reprobate is a reprobate is a reprobate. And Scott, a compassionate person, is a compassionate person, is a compassionate person.

This is my story…

Thanks for all your comments and answer to the question, “Can people be redeemed?” I have Libra so I can see both sides of this debate on human nature and further, I could easily argue either one of them.

This is why Libras make such good attorneys, by the way. If you walk into court without fully understanding your opponent’s position you’re at a terrible disadvantage!

But anyway, I’m going to come back and do this. I’m going to argue both sides for the hell of it. But meantime, what about you?

And do you have any planets in Libra in your chart? What about the opposite sign, Aries?

Speaking of different perspectives, if you are going to run with a divergent crowd the way I do, there are time you find you have friends you respect at opposite ends of the spectrum. For example, take Scott and genius, Arie (a pseudonym). They are both derangedly intelligent men, who are fully actualized. By that, I mean they have both developed into distinct people. Neither of them is going to get blown around all that much.

Now Scott believes that redemption is possible for all human beings. He believes in miracles, he has seen them occur. He has seen people come from the depths and turn their lives around.

In contrast, Arie is quoted to say, “A reprobate is a reprobate is a reprobate!” And he has another one. He told me once that, “motherfuckers are going to do what motherfuckers are going to do”. And the thing is both men have life experience to support their theories.

Arie was a soldier in Special Forces and followed that up with a 30 year career as an Inspector for the San Francisco Police Department. He followed that up with a few more years service as part of the NYPD. On top of this, he has two degrees in the field of criminality, and a genius IQ so you’ve got to figure he knows something about reprobates!

On the other hand, Scott knows me. And I am sure if pressed I would be one of the people he would offer up as evidence to support his beliefs.

So what do you think? Can all people be redeemed?

And do you have stories to support your beliefs? Please share!
