    Your Question: Will I be entangled in some legal battle? Will I gain or lose from it?

    Your Answer: Use your mind, act truthfully and do not harass the judge.

    Notice both the question and answer came from the second person as `your` (or really moi).

    What’s Your Type?
    Prepared for: FLYNN
    Date: Friday, December 05, 2003

    Your Type:
    I = Slightly Expressed
    S = Slightly Expressed
    F = Slightly Expressed
    J = Highly Expressed

    What do the letters mean?

    Your personality can be defined by dividing it into four independent preference areas or scales. These scales can be put together to form a personality “picture” or type for an individual, each of which defines one unique personality archetype. There are 16 possible combinations of preference; therefore, 16 different Personality Types.
    Different type preferences lead to different ways of living and working, taking in information and making decisions. They describe different learning styles and effective approaches to communication, teamwork, and relationships. Personality Typing is used extensively in career counseling, business and education.

    The preferences for each of the four scales are as follows:

    Energizing – How a person is energized: Extroversion (E) or Introversion (I) Preference for drawing energy from the outside world of people, activities or things or preference for drawing energy from one’s internal world of ideas, emotions, or impressions.

    Attending – What a person pays attention to: Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) Preference for using the senses to notice what is real or preference for using the imagination to envision what is possible – to look beyond the five senses.

    Deciding – How a person decides: Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) Preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a logical, objective way or preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a personal, value-oriented way.

    Living – Life style a person prefers: Judgement (J) or Perception (P) Preference for living a planned and organized life or preference for living a spontaneous and flexible life.

  • 20031122-A Mastermind

    MASTERMIND
    (Submissive Introvert Abstract Thinker )

    Like just 8% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this “scheming.” Don’t learn German.

    Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader–you’ve definitely got the “vision” thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.

    Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.

  • 20031122-A Critic

    The Ultimate Personality Test

    `FLYNN`, you’re a Critic!

    Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types – your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Critic which means you are a Thinker / Success Your primary sub-type is defined by “Thinker” characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by “Success” characteristics.

    That means you’re complex, thoughtful and never content to skate on the surface. Chances are you veer towards being so analytical and introspective that even positive qualities can seem like faults. The truth is that you have a very perceptive, gentle spirit.

    How do we know all this? How do we know that you hate chaos at work and prefer a structured environment? Or that sometimes you feel undervalued by your boss? How could we have divined that there’s a part deep inside you that’s aching to make more money?

    Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Critic.

    And that’s just scratching the surface.

    Mood Analysis Test
    Results for Test Taken Friday, December 05, 2003

    You are longing for some love and affection at this time – not that you have been deprived of tender loving care – but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go ‘somewhere’ else to perhaps experience that little extra ‘understanding’.

    You are a true extrovert, frivolous and outgoing. You need to feel in control of any situation. If matters are not proceeding according to plan you tend to get extremely irritable and perhaps become difficult to live with.

    The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren’t quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

    It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think ‘you can do’ – you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take ‘NO’ for an answer.

    You are putting on a show – a facade. You are a master of demonstrating considerable charm in the hope that this can or will lead to better things. Deep down you are fearful that this may not work and that you may have to employ other strategies in order to realize all your ambitions.

    What’s your true nationality?

    Are you—in your heart of hearts—British, French, Italian or German? Take this quiz and find out which of these four European countries would make you feel most at home.

    Your Analysis:

    Say it loud and proud: “Ich bin Deutsch” You would feel most at home in the country of snow-capped Bavarian Alps and the Black Forest, of the Rhine and picturesque Beer gardens.

    Your personality makes a good fit in Germany, too. Like many Germans, you have a strong pragmatic mind. You tend to reject fantasy and daydreams and refuse to stray from what is tangible reality. You appreciate order, quality engineering and take pride in your own work; you are efficient, hard working and driven in what you do.

    That said, you are also a great pleasure seeker. You have compartmentalized work and play in your life and in your mind: when you are working you are focused only on that, but come play time you are greatly attracted to concrete pleasure. You love nature and robust outdoor activities; cuisine is healthy and hearty; home life is simple and hospitable.

    Munich is your soul city, with its picturesque architecture nestled away in the mountains, its warm, hospitable beer gardens and polite, welcoming people who work hard and play hard.

    Shall I say `Ach du Lieber`, too?

  • 20100305-Noticing Numbers

    After attending that morning’s mass, we went shopping at Seafood City (off McKee Rd.) – AGAIN! This time we bought 18 cans of Tomi sardines in tomato sauce and chili (or 6 cans per customer). So each of us got 6 cans and paid separately. It’s stupid.

    Anyway, the receipt came out to be a change of $2.22 for a total of 22 items. I see the usual double digits of two (or twenty-two) – AGAIN!

  • 20100307-Religious Cult

    Listening to Barbara Simpson on HOT TALK KSFO 560 AM for about an hour or so. The guest is a former Scientology member. His name is Marc Headley. He wrote a book called Blown for Good – Behind the Iron Curtan of Scientology. He told many stories about the horrors of working and living in this RELIGIOUS CULT.

    He tried to escape on his motorcycle and big SUV’s tried to run him off the road several. Without the escort of a the POLICE, the SUV would have kept following him. In another incident with the spooks following another escapee,a lady was at a bus stop, on the floor and threatened to yell out loud if they so much as to

    There were reports of many assaults, battery, and kidnapping, just to haul the escapees back to their `gated community`.

    I will go out on a limb and compare Mormonism as a cult with Scientologist:- both of which are tax-exempt religious organization – 503 (c).

  • 20100305-Our Jobs

    I made another simple revelation today while en route to deposit the third to my last government help. In order to keep my car from dying while waiting in traffic, I placed the transmission on neutral and removed my foot from the brakes. That made waiting `smoother`.

    To my right, I see a skin-headed thug waiting, too. He had his arm hanging out the opened window. I could see he wears white-pressed, long-sleeved shirt. I assume he had finished his shift of a day job.

    Now, I’m supposed to be working. I have the skills, experience and education background. But for whatever reason, other workers get a wage or salary; while my life passes by.

    I see that the job market is open to ANYONE! This includes: nutters (like LoLinda), foreigners (like Juan) and thugs (like the skin-head, who spat out his window).

    That’s why America is going down. The losers are attacking the wealthy, who may have come from hard-work or corruption. Either way, I see more creeps getting away with my jobs.

  • 20100305-Weathery Ways

    The sunshine was hiding behind light clouds, leaving soft hues of yellow and gold, smudging of blurred outlines of a circular sun.

    Some clouds were fluffy and puffy in colors of white on top and bluish underneath. They were sitting in layers, one row stacked on top of the next.

  • 20100304-Eating Meat

    Maw and I saw on television a brief discussion about meat on CNN.com – Anderson Cooper 360. Two photos compared thinner chickens during the 1950’s and the fattened up version in 2008.

    It appears that livestock meat has antibiotics and hormones injected into the system. Have you ever wondered if the hormones go through the bodies of people who consume meat, which used to wink, blink and walk?

    Maw said she feels sick after eating meat. The taste of Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonald is horrible. And she wonders if the medicines given to animals meant for the slaughterhouse contraindicate with her medications, too.

    What saddens me is that meat is still part of her diet.

    So maybe Obama and pals could regulate the farming, drug and food industry so that people will go back into the bush or be more in tune with nature and stop using too much technology to OVER PROCESS foodstuff that has little or no nutritional value.

    Perhaps the following YouTube.com video should inspire a healthier group of people:

    Let’s Move Rally in Jackson, Mississippi by whitehouse on March 03, 2010

    First Lady Michelle Obama visits Brinkley Middle School in Jackson, MS to talk about healthy eating and her Let’s Move campaign, a nationwide effort to raise a healthier generation of kids.
