I'm waiting desperately for my boyfriend to make up his mind about signing a contract on a tripleplay service package with a multinational telecommunications company, so that we have deliciously wiiiiiiiiide broadband connection (I'll go for 25 Mbps, and holding myself from signing from the max. 80 Mbps, while my boyfriend wonders why can't we go for a lower broadband width. Uhhh... no, because I say so?), a landline like any normal, lawabiding household and IPTV with 75+5 channels! And since today I've been tackling the tax and amenity bill payments, errands AND set up (and am still working on) our "Home Finance" Excel book, there's a chance I'm charged enough to go tomorrow down to the store and sing myself for a fabulous - even if maybe a bit expensive - plan of TV, landline and unlimited high speed internet. Why such a need now? Because currently there's no paid TV at home and that means that I get to see, but don't hear a channel (M1) and see and hear another (M2).
The one I can't hear shows in the morning what seems like Korean or Japanese series, while the other presents the most horrendous programs known to men. From the same boring three or four Infomercials every single day, to parenting shows to whatnots. I didn't notice I needed the TV at all, and the weeks we spent at my aunt's place, I was never in front of the TV, but ever since we moved here, in the mornings when my boyfriend leaves for work, I turn on the TV for some background noise, or really feel like watching something, but all there's coming from the tube is "Baby Minutes" or the same infomercial about the NicerDicer or some hearing enhancer or something like that.
Before you ask if we need 75+5 channels, the answer is Yes! I want an arrange of sports, cooking shows, home design shows, history, series and movies and I want them there whenever I feel I want to watch some of that.
Now, one of the shows I've noticed is a FortuneTeller show. In this show, which is live, there's a model-like hostess and a Fortune Teller person, and the hostess urges constantly the audience to call a given number so that people get on the air, give their name and age and the Fortune Teller makes a reading for them. Each day also seems to have a theme, though the hot topic seems to be - naturally - money. That's not hard to guess given the fact that we are in Europe and Hungary is doing royally bad. Eventually, to boast the calls, the Fortune Teller starts giving away some trinket, like a small statue or image, or a piece of jewelry, which they are supposed to have charged with some special energy to bring money to the caller.
The speach of the hostesses was always the same, though there's a really upsetting blonde hostess who is very aggressive and at one point starts screaming at the audience to call or else, and even uses negative enticers such as "take this fortune away from someone else". On the 29th, the speech was that it was "the 29th" and "the energies of 4 years have accumulated" and the Fortune Teller of the day was giving away white elephants that bring money to people. The hostess insisted that the white elephants were available only that day and the four year energy could be given away only that day. It was that day or wait for another four years. The next day another Fortune Teller was giving away the energy of four years he accumulated and harvested the day before, and was giving it through Goddess Fortuna that day and that day only to people who needed Fortune and money. Half way down the show giving away only energy and him hoovering his hand over the statue wasn't enough, so he started giving necklaces, however it didn't bring the success of his colleague the day before and the hostess when red in the face shouting at people at the end of the show and shaking her head in reprimand for all those of us who didn't waste our time on a call for some card reading and a trinket.
Today, the first fortune teller - the lady - was on the show and was again doing readings, but also was promising to include people in a special "money attracting ritual" she was going to perform at midnight. It wsa supposed to be some unique ritual nobody else knows, which she has read from very ancient texts of many hundred years, and with the aid of a gold pen, red envelopes, horseshoes and ashes, she would to a very powerful and ancient ritual - curiously known only by her, which can be done only by her, and which can be realized only today at midnight - and then throw the envelops containing the names and ages of the selected people into the Danube and thus send them financial luck.
There weren't as many callers now as on the 29th - I guess most of the usuals got their phone bills and realized that the white elephants and the other trinkets and energies first cater to the sender and then to the recipient... if ever. You kinda get a mean sort of pleasure at watching the same hostess (the 29th there was another, more calm hostess) of the day before get so upset, so blatantly desperate to get the calls, that she goes on loops repeating on and on the same sentence, the same two lines in hopes to be interrupted by a call that never comes. And then, as the minutes go by and the show must end, the raw desperation at getting one single, miserable call and listening to the silence, to her own voice while the fortune teller next to her revolves quite uncomfortably in the seat feeling publicly rejected by an audience of simple, often elderly people maybe no longer interested in their schemes.
People can be gullible, and the speach is strong, and you may feel inclined to believe "what of today is really a power day?". Well, if so, and you want to take advantage of it, you don't need a "magician" or a fortune teller to take away your money in order to conjure you some, or to get you love. All you need is yourself. Did you know that you can do magic? It's really simple, and you don't need to pay anyone ot buy expensive, esoteric things to make it happen. All you need is to follow your instinct and work hard to achieve your goal. Also, something that helps a lot is a dab of a very well known type of magic: positive thinking.
Sure, maybe you can't stop financial crisis or a war, BUT you can always help yourself. You out of a job? Start by believing in yourself and applying to a new one. It's hard? Nobody said it was easy! Analize your options, look for alternatives, be smart about your decisions, practice some personal discipline... and insteand of focusing on the closed doors, be positive about what's out there, about hope, about chances.
The hostess constantly yelled at the audience "only you can help yourself!" and there she was right, but not to her benefit. You can't help yourself expecting some esoteric magic to solve your life, but you can by seeking for the alternatives and keeping an open and positive mind.
Finally, last year I've got myself a Witches Datebook for 2012 - which is quite interesting and is filled with many curious facts and advises for people following Pagan religions. This book notices their festivities, astrological movements as well as times for the different cycles of agricultural life. Not a word about power days to make money or never-again-returning-opportunities or "four year accumulated energies"... which curiously exists only since the Gregorian calendars, but were unexistent before, even though the world is older than that. Any day is a power day and it's a power day for any purpose you wish to make it, just put your heart and thoughts in it.
