SCORPIO
Exercise is crucial, bro. Go jog or something. Jogging is not a crime. Skateboarding is not a crime. Do an ollie. Do a nollie no- comply into the bowl and shred a bit. Do a mac nugget.

No pork this month. This should be easy for all u Muslims and Jews out there. August is a pretty Muslim and Jewish month. Say JAH RASTAFARI next time ur about to hang up the phone. Wear an Oakland A's fitted at some point this month, literally or even just spiritually. Go surfing with a Libra. Oh yeah and congrats.

Finish an old project. Sniff a line of cocaine and a line of heroin. That's called a speedball, it feels crazy right? Watch American Psycho while listening to Yeezus. Find a dog and take it for a walk.
