The Year of 2009 is the Year of the Ox

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2009 is the Year of the Ox. The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. Those born under the influence of the Ox or Buffalo are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness that the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task. Ox people work hard without complaints at work or at home. They know that they will succeed through hard work and sustained efforts, and do not believe in get-rich-quick schemes.



Famous Ox People: Barack Obama, Catherine Freeman, Heather Locklear, Jane Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Juliette Lewis, Margaret Thatcher, Meg Ryan, Meryl Streep, Princess Diana, Vivien Leigh and George Clooney.

Invariably solid and dependable, Ox people are excellent organizers. Oxen are systematic in their approach to every task they undertake. They are not easily influenced by other's ideas. Loyalty is a part of their make-up, but if deceived they will not forget. Oxen do not appear to be imaginative though they are capable of good ideas. Although not demonstrative or the most exciting people romantically, they are entirely dependable, and make devoted parents. Oxen are renowned for their patience, but it has its limits - once roused, their temper is a sight to behold.

People born under the sign of the Ox or Buffalo usually have strong codes and work ethics. This can lead to a tendency to be a workaholic, and they should make an effort to relax more. Ox people are usually strong and robust, and according to ancient wisdom, they should be blessed with long lives.

The Ox home is his castle where he finds relaxation and peace from the everyday hustle and bustle of his career or responsibilities. He also enjoys spending much time in planting gardens and trees. He generally prefers to decorate his home comfortably with nature colors.

Able, ethical and aware, co-workers of the Ox can depend on their eyes for details. Because they are so well-organized, they are better-suited for specialized positions and prefer to work in large companies. They work best when they work alone since they can be unhappy when participating in a large group.

Death Row Auction

The premier Gangster Rap Label of all time is having an Auction. Yup an Auction. In the 90's they had it all. I mean the money, fame and glory. The all-star roster of Dre,Snoop,Pac,Nate, Vanilla Ice,Dogg Pound, and Warren G. Just to name some. I guest it's common on how our economy is. The auction is Today in Fullerton. They have Platinum Records to the Labels Electric Chair. A company bought all the rights for 10billiion I remember hearing a story from a homie saying how scared he was going inside. Bullet marks on the front door vicious pits with 300 pound body guards. He was scarred shitless.

The auction more like a rap museum and possible heist waiting to happen. You're talking about Suge Knight here. Like he ain't gonna have somebody looking to see where his stuff is going. Sounds to familiar.

NFL Referees

As the Philadelphia Eagles lose to the Arizona Cardinals. I give a bow to the Eagles for catching up just to lose. It was a good game but heart breaking I tell you. Down to the title of this blog but the NFL Refs did not call that Passing Interference call in the 4th with 2 minutes remaining. It reminds me of 9/11, the year the Patriots won the Super Bowl after a bullshit call when Charles Woodson caused a fumble and the refs said it was a pass. Was the world feeling Patriotic after 9/11? Did the New England Patriots really win? Did Gruden get a ring after being traded to Tampa because of bullshit calls? What really happened?

I just know the Refs in this game were not on point. Even if he was outta bounds while he was hit with ball. It was clear evidence, but the last 2 passing interference calls they did not call. The Eagles had it, the Cardinals played a good game. The NFL was not on point with the Refs it makes me feel like i just got ripped off watching a De La Hoya match. It was wrong. refs go fuck yourself. Karma is a bitch. Thank you Eagles for a good game. I still believe in green. Any angry Eagles Fan just believe. How can you believe in a team and not still believe after they lose. Talking shit about the team. Is not gonna get us any where.

C'MON EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!

Amy and Mark are Targets

This week Amy Winehouse and her superstar producer Mark Ronson, both of whom are Jewish, were allegedly targeted by Islamic extremists. U.K. newspaper The Sun reported that a post in a forum on Ummah.com called for users to compile "a list of top Jews we can target," and the list included both Amy and Mark's names. British anti-terror expert Glen Jenvey told The Sun that these threats should not be taken lightly: "The Ummah website has been used by extremists. Those listed should treat it very seriously. Expect a hate campaign and intimidation by 20 or 30 thugs." As if Amy Winehouse didn't have enough troubles. As Rodney King said" Can't we all just get along"

R.I.P. Ron Asheton

The first full week of 2009 started off most miserably, when news of the death of pioneering punk guitarist Ron Asheton was announced. The man whose distinctive sledgehammer riffs provided the perfect foil for Iggy Pop's sneering vocals on the Stooges' landmark recordings was found dead of an apparent heart attack in his Ann Arbor home Tuesday morning; he was only 60 years old and had recently enjoyed newfound success with the reunited Stooges, who'd been touring off and on since 2003 and had released their comeback album The Weirdness in 2007.

A statement issued by Iggy Pop, drummer Scott Asheton (Ron's brother), saxophonist Steve Mackay, bassist Mike Watt, and the band's management read: "We are shocked and shaken by the news of Ron's death. He was a great friend, brother, musician, trooper. Irreplaceable. He will be missed. For all that knew him behind the facade of Mr. Cool & Quirky, he was a kind-hearted, genuine, warm person who always believed that people meant well even if they did not. As a musician Ron was 'The Guitar God,' idol to follow and inspire others. That is how he will be remembered by people who had a great pleasure to work with him, learn from him and share good and bad times with him."

Iggy Pop personally, sadly, added: "I am in shock. He was my best friend."

We at That's Really Week echo the statements above; we too shall miss Ron. And we have a feeling in a couple weeks we'll be reporting on the Stooges' long-awaited induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame; the band has been on the nominees' shortlist many times but unjustly passed over for years, but there's nothing like a tragic death to garner a band some much-overdue recognition.
