Topic: Metaphysical

"Hey Tige," I said to Mr. Tiger, the unimaginative pest of my psyche, "if you're like me, this page will be a blast."
'I'm not like you,' he responded too quickly. When he recognized what he had just said, Tiger did a swift about face and stated, 'I'm just like you - tough-minded, sensitive and happy-go-lucky. What do you have of interest today?" he asked pleasantly.
I laughed at the first part and answered the second. "It's a birthday calculator at PaulSadowski.com. You can punch in the month, day and year of your birth and then within seconds, you'll get statistics."
'I don't need that,' the pest confessed, 'My birthday is ancient and I'd rather keep it to myself. And besides,' he spoke sharply, 'I have no desire to find my soul mate.'
"It's not like that," I told him before going on. "Mine birth date is January 29, and I was born in 1948. One of the top songs that year was Buttons and Bows by Dinah Shore and I'm 1,855,466,597 seconds old," I said, reading aloud while looking at the data the computer turned up.
'Ancient too,' he said with insistence.
I went on without commenting on his insinuation and said the obvious. "Of course I know my astrological sign is Aquarius, and I knew too," I said throwing in what wasn't, "that my Life Path number is a 7, but I didn't know I was born on a Thursday - my mother had too many kids to remember that - and," I said a moment later, "I had no idea 1948 was a leap year."
'How'd you know your so called life path number?' asked Tiger, that aspect being of interest to him.
"Until finding this neat computer, I did it the old fashioned way," I responded before demonstrating. "Add the month - mine is a 1, for January. Then the day of the week - 29 for me, which adds together to be 11- actually a two when you add 1 + 1. And then," I continued, "the year. 1 + 9 + 4 + 8. All that translates into a 7. My life path is a 7.
Tiger became quite. My imagination was ignited. I went back to the site for some more fun. "I wonder what it'll instantly calculate for my kids dates of birth?" I said as I clicked back.
