So, today is June 7th. This is what I call my “Gemini birthday,” because this was the day I was due. However, as I mentioned in the previous blog, I was not born until the 30th. “How many people weren’t born on their due date?” you may ask. “How does that relate to their astrological chart?” Well, I don’t know. I just like to claim Gemini because it would explain why I have some of their tendencies. I am a true-blue Cancer but I have a little edge that is not typical of Cancerian people.
Anyway, if I had been born today, I would’ve had the same birthday as His Purple Highness – Prince Rogers Nelson. (Side Note: Allen Iverson was also born today.)
Prince is an idol of mine and one of the most influential artists in my life. I jokingly refer to him as “my husband,” because he is the prototype – the kind of guy I’d like to marry. He’s talented, free-thinking, compassionate, graceful, deep, AND sexy. Did you know he’s a Vegan? At least, that’s what I heard..
Yeah, we’d be the odd couple for sure. But we’d have a helluva lot of fun, I’ll tell you that much. Cuz we’d be on the same page. Sometimes, the lyrics that he writes make me think he ripped a page from my own diary.
I would love to post them all, but there’s not enough room. So, my favorite Prince lyrics at the moment would have to be from “Love Like Jazz” on Lotus Flow3r:
Eye want a lover that can improvise
Eye want a lover that can make me cry
Baby eye don’t care what you learned in lovemaking school
U and me we ’bout 2 jam
Make love like the first woman and man
Eye don’t wanna know ahead of time
The notes you play should b a
Reaction 2 mine
Nothing planned or contrived
Then both of us will arrive
At r destination
*Sigh* All this Prince talk has inspired me to do a likkle sumtin’ in honor of the Purple one… From his beloved Violet (that’s my middle name, fyi.)
It should be done by tomorrow. Nothin’ big… a simple drawing in comparison of what I’d like to do for him in the future. I really want to paint him inna surrealist style… And not from a photo – he’ll have to be my live model.
6/8
I wanted to incorporate the Gemini symbol – those are the Roman Numerals behind him… and I’m going to use a gold paint pen on those, I guess. Then I’ll perfect the eclipse behind him. I always associate eclipses with Gemini – I don’t know why, because they’re ruled by Mercury. I dunno.
p.s. Please read the following article if you’re into the stars and that type of thing. I found it very interesting:

I finished! I’m probably gonna work on it again once I get some natural light tomorrow. Butfor now, I’ m done.
Oh, that blue planet in his neck area represents the throat chakra. Read more about that here:

Ok, NOW it’s finished. I think…
