after about 5 personality tests, you wonder if you're portraying yourself accurately.

after about 10, the answers are so familiar you wonder if you're starting to caraciturize yourself.

He did have a sort of groucho expression about him. I actually went to college with his niece.

He was sort of a quirky TV personality that made really gross happy homemaker dishes like tuna casseroles.

this is what happens when you have too much free time:

Personality Defect:
You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, and humility, you no doubt frolic through fields preaching peace and love to all! You are probably either very spiritual or needlessly paranoid about "the man", like most hippies, as a result of your focus on intuition and feelings...

it's one thing to say you're comfortable with who you are. it's quite another to actually examine yourself, and what others say about you. if you truly know yourself, you shouldn't be surprised by another's perception of you. and if you like who you are, what others say won't even matter, because you know the truth.

all that, of course, is the goal. it's when...

sometimes we get too caught up in life, or whatever, and we forget how important our friends really are. sometimes we even take them for granted (today i was reminded of how close i came to doing that a few years back).

the truth is, they're there for you when nobody else is; they'll put up with the worst in you; and they'll always see...

well i think i'm finally starting to get back into music again. i pulled off all the crap on top of my keyboard and started jamming with my mp3s. i never really did much of that before, and it's actually really fun. i'm not a great improvisor, but i'm definitely improving with identifying keys and chords. one of these days i'll see how this practice...

Thanks!
heresy2007:
that's a good habit to get into.
it's so easy to justify not doing productive things with your free time, that sometimes it's so hard to break the bad habits even if you really want to. Keep it up!

maybe this series won't be as long as i thought. there's only so much a person can (or should) say, after all.

first weekend consisted of D&D. i can elaborate for people actually interested. i will say that it was with a great group of guys, in game and IRL.

we saw Kingdom of Heaven (minus the first 20 minutes or so..). pretty good, not...

first off, icmn asked me to say sorry he didn't get a chance to update or give comments before he left town. he's headed for a folk music festival and camping. he asks that you pray to your respective deities (or whatever) that he survives an environment sure to be rife with political conflict. though you'd think folk music fans would be pretty mellow...

well...
