Year of the Ox

This is my big year according to the Chinese. I'm an ox and this is the year of the ox in the Chinese New Year. (Thai people don't really celebrate the Chinese New Year because they have their own new year to celebrate in early April: the much-anticipated Songkran Festival.) Sources say the upcoming year doesn't look extremely favorable for the almighty oxes, but I think I'll have to be an exception to that rule.

They also say about oxes:
People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are physically and mentally alert. Generally easy going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster and Rat people.

I would say that there are only a few parts to that description that my personality matches up with. For example, I lost my temper last week because someone told me I was a bigot because I said to them, " I have never been wrong in my entire life." I wouldn't budge. I guess you could say I was remarkably stubborn. Just the fact that they argued with me pissed me off so I beat them up with my bare hands. I absolutely hate to be opposed because clearly, I am always right. Then I got angry with myself because I failed to be physically and mentally alert enough to give them a roundhouse kick to the face when I had the chance.
