Child of the kindly West, I have come to know, if more of us valued your ways - food and cheer above hoarded gold - it would be a merrier world
Things I Like
Most of all I love to sit on my back porch in the evenings in my rocking chair. Sometimes I read, sometimes I smoke a cigar, sometimes I drink scotch or port, and sometimes I do nothing but rock and think...but that is what I love to do mostest.
| Symphonic metal, especially the Viking variety
| The wild trackless places of the world: the more trees, valleys, and rivers the better; preferably with a lot of deep forests, hidden waterfalls, and cold pools - especially if a small campfire is necessary
| Cowboy Bebop and Ranma 1/2
| The summer sun on green leaves
| The intangibles of fall: smell of wet leaves, woodsmoke, that crisp air, the storms, the wind in the trees
| Girls: and I like mine with more than looks; I'll take cute with personality and intelligence over vacuously hot. Especially one I can (god forbid) talk too because in the end thats what counts. Looks fade.
| Sushi - never forget that Something's Fishy...Thai food is good too, will miss that Bangkok Palace
| Reading and learning new things
| My nieces' laughter
| Astronomy
| EGL
| PSX / GC: FF; RPG / Strategy...Metroids!
| Carrots, especially the centers ... the sweet center that you can strip the rough outer portion from. I snack on carrots. And frozen blueberries
| Mochi ice cream: green tea and strawberry
| Scotch, single malt only. Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Balvenie, Highand Park, Glenmorangie,
| Cigars: Sancho Panza, L'aroma de Cuba...
| Pan aux chocolate, Canche aux Mercier, Milley la Foret, the bouldering life in Fontainebleau
| A day out at Stanage followed by ham sandwiches at Grindleford Station, the dungeon shitter at Stoney Middleton, leaving Millstone behind, Burbage and Froggatt - spending late nights watching Hard Grit and Pilgrimage!
| Cats ... they're self-sufficient and "I like chicken, I like liver..." Besides, when I get old and and stuff what else is going to want to sit on my lap and keep it warm, eh?
| Zodo's Bowling with my friends
| CORSETS...well fitted, not rib crunching corsets .. especially royal blues, reds, and blacks ... but PURPLES are my favourite
| Goth stuff...but not that wierd dress up crap, or the 'I'm a vampyre' melancholy crap. Think Collide and think the opening sequence to Koudelka and add in a splash of Kate Beckinsale
You scored as Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones is an archaeologist/adventurer with an unquenchable love for danger and excitement. He travels the globe in search of historical relics. He loves travel, excitement, and a good archaeological discovery. He hates Nazis and snakes, perhaps to the same degree. He always brings along his trusty whip and fedora. He's tough, cool, and dedicated. He relies on both brains and brawn to get him out of trouble and into it.

Things I hate:
| Clutter. Clutter annoys the sh*t out of me.
| People who cannot drive - it's a passing lane, its for passing people who are going slower than you. It isn't a 'fast'lane where if you think you're going fast enough than you have the right to hold up traffic Dumb Sh*t, and no ... 40 MPH is not the correct speed on an on ramp to a 65 MPH highway.
| People who don't take responsability for themselves or their actions, the lazy, and the inconsiderate. People who need loud music or a tricked out car to feel like they are worth something (seriously, if you have to attract people that way and who you are isn't cutting it ... you need to check your priorities). I like music - but not EVERYONE on the street needs to hear it too. I like cars, but it isn't me. It may be a sweet machine, but inthe end - its just a machine.
| Bad fashion. Girls in short skirts and Ug boots (who told you that you look good?!); girl posses who all look the same, guys with polo shirt collars up, and the return of the 80's.
| Girls who let their rolls hang out or flop over their jeans. Look, so you're not Kate Moss - that's fine. Guys like girls with a little bit of meat - fit is fine. Stop wearing shirts that show off a belly or wear pants that are too tight so you get 'the rim'. Go up another size. Its OK!
| Stupid people and products, like Ionic Breeze. $180 buys you a machine that does the same thing as planting a tree except you have to cleanit and it creates more garbage. Idiot! Plant a f*n tree!
Fav thought of the moment
Of all the nonsense that twists the world, the concept of 'altruism' is the worst. People do what they want to, every time. If it pains them, to make a choice- if the 'choice' looks like a 'sacrifice' -- you can be sure that it is no nobler than the discomfort caused by greediness... the necessity of having to decide between two things you want when you can't have both. The ordinary bloke suffers every time he chooses between spending a buck on beer or tucking it away for his kids, between getting up to go to work and losing his job. But he always chooses that which hurts least or pleasures most. The scoundrel and the saint make the same choices....
-Jubal, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein
Yay! Lust! This is SO true... Girls are so amazing in form. And they're always so soft...big eyes, long hair ... skirts... seriously, how can one NOT lust after women?! "Do a little dance...make a little love.. get down tonight!"

Second fav thought of the day
An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl she used to be. A GREAT artist can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is, and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be, more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo see that this lovely young girl is still alive, prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older that eighteen in her heart.

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!
How Machiavellian Are You?
One More For the Road
"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally
controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated
by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of
a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy
either." Edward Zehr
You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
