I've been hearing some about this "Year of the Ox" or "Year of the Earth Ox" (an ox should be down to earth, I think) thing and I don't really get it. I don't think it's my year, any more than any other, anyway. Also, I know I'm not the ox, but merely an ox. I don't know who the ox is or would be.

I've also heard two versions of things. One is that the year of the ox is good luck for oxen and the other is that it is bad luck for oxen. I checked, and you know what? I wasn't born in an ox year. Does that mean I am an ox that is not an ox? Well, I know what I am, and that's all that really matters to me.
