what's better than a Dragon

i used to think there was nothing better than being a Libra, but certainly being born in the Year of the Dragon can only make that cake sweeter.

think about it.  a Dragon really is the shit, seriously large and in charge.  shimmery, scaly, slow but deathly precise, alternately silent or terrifyingly deafening when need be, fiery, mysterious and just pretty much straight up superior...you kinda don't want to run into one, but then again you kinda do in which case you just want to stare and be transfixed by it and think holy shit, i hope that thing doesn't look too closely at me and then when it does, you're preeetty dang sure you've never seen anything as mortifyingly gorgeous, right before it comes down from its mountain perch in one fiery swoop and then i'm not really sure what happens after that.  it either utterly destroys you, in which case, what does it matter, or it scoops you up onto its massive back between silver or gold or purple wings and flies you off to some super magical land where you'd much rather be anyway.  

i don't have a problem with that.  

here's to the Dragons.  happy Lunar New Year.
