HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! http://chinesenewyear2012.net/ 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, and to celebrate CHERNOBOG'S BLOG is counting down the Top 12 Dragons! What would the world be without dragons? No other mythological creature has been so prevalent in so many different cultures all over the world than dragons. While this fact has been attributed to the number of dinosaur fossil sites found all over the world, nevertheless the dragon is an important mythological creature and the most important creature in the Chinese zodiac. While I was born (unfortunately) in the year of the Sheep and/or Goat, characteristically being artistic, indecisive, a worrier, pessimistic, and over-sensitive! The Dragon is strong, self-assured, proud, noble, dignified, and intellectual! There have been so many great dragons in both mythology, literature, movies, and even video games.
