Years ago, I had had a run of terrible luck in my life. My career was going nowhere. I thought about going to see a shrink, but I was totally broke and I didn’t want to get myself involved in anything that was going to cost me lots of time and money. So I went to see a psychic. In my mind, it was just like seeing a shrink, only instead of wasting all that time mulling over my past, I could set some totally arbitrary goals and navigate my life through them, moving forward.

My wife knew this guy named Kevin and he apparently was quite good at this. I asked him if he could do a reading of my stars and numbers. He agreed.

Kevin told me that I would struggle for many years in my career — I’m an artist — and that things would slowly get better and better.
