Cranky Large Medium reading, 25 January

Go away.

What are you still standing there for? Do you really think I want you for company? PLEASE go. Oh, right. You want your reading first. Well, then, here you are:

Pushy as heck, you should strive to keep your bossy tendencies from getting you killed. You could surround yourself with congenial friends... as if you thought that and a quiet home life might help. Your anger and jealousy are really annoying. You have nothing to be jealous of... there's not a chance that you could reasonably compare yourself to us.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. Not as long as you harbor that anger. What do you have to be angry about, anyway? You certainly have it better, today, than these people, all of whom on this date in history pushed off to the next plane of existence: Geiseric, Emperor Yingzong, Hirate Hirohide, Makino Nobuaki, Ichizo Kobayashi, Ivan Vucetic, Kiyoshi Shiga, Stephen Cole Kleene, Gregory Nazianzus, Pope Gregory IV, Maria Louise Ramé aka Ouida, Sarah "Sadie" Delany, Lucas Cranach the Younger, Guillaume Delisle, Philip Johnson, Irene Castle, Adele Astaire, Jane Bathori, Chris Kenner, Jonathan Larson, Robert Shaw, Evelyn Barbirolli, Eiji Tsuburaya, Christopher Allport, Ava Gardner, Mikhail Chigorin, Al Capone

and Ray Peterson.

You aint gettin' no lovin', neither.
Happy birthday, anyway.
