Well I wish I could have had a lovely entry for the infamous 6-6-06 but I was away and who really cares, anyway? The significance of man-made time sometimes tricks me in to thinking certain numeral dates have significance purely because of the combined values they make up, and then I remember it's all BS. Besides, the world still exists so we're all ok.
The image above is titled Animus and if you're familiar with Jung or Estes you'll know what that is. For those of you who can't be bothered (or simply don't have the time) to indulge in philosophical works an animus is the interior male force inside of women. Men have a similar force that is feminine and called an anima. Apparently, these subconscious personalities project ideals of our male or female counterpart on to whomever we seek out as a mate. The idea here is that they embody all archetypes of the male or female and that, without management, a person can subconsciously expect their significant other to fulfill these completely unrealistic ideals. Pretty interesting stuff.
