Being A Leo

Despite what you think of astrology, my sun sign, Leo, best describes my personality. 

Just think of those old Mutual of Omaha films showing the big cats in their natural environment.  Lions almost look pissed off when they have to hunt, like it's interrupting their long day of lazing about.  Like, "dammit, now I'm hungry *sigh* so I'm going to have to eat you.  Sit STILL!"  It's all so dramatic, poor pussy cats.  That explains why the gazelle are able to walk right past a pride of lions without so much as a scratch. 

You can't pull that shit with the hyenas or jaguars.  Nope, they'll kill you out of spite, for breathing their air.  Lions?  They don't care.  Walk up and pet them.  Chances are they'll roll over on their back so you can rub their belly.  And I'm not joking.  Lions are really lovable creatures for being high up on the food chain.

So what does that mean for human lions?  Well, you're dealing with a rather unruffled person.  Just let the lion do his thing without interrupting that afternoon nap or hearty meal and you won't lose a limb.  It's pretty basic. 

This lion prefers honesty, no manipulation.  Don't prance around like you're my best friend because you need something or prod me into action through some power trip.  Just walk up, place your request and I will do everything in my power to make it happen.  If it's beyond my capacity, I'll let you know. 

I ask for honesty and will give you honesty in return.  But I guess the hyenas out there can't handle the truth.  I would eat hyenas for my morning snack but they taste like crap, being the bottom feeders that they are.  So I bat them out of my way when necessary, but usually I just ignore them.  I don't have time for people who can't handle the truth.
