I decided to add one of my old poems to my page to liven it up just a touch. So here is one I thought was okay and seemed to be recieved tolerably at the time.
MYSELF
My mind is free of form.
I am everything and nothing.
I am myself.
I can choose any form I wish
from raging tornado
to a mild breeze.
I could be a killer shark
or a graceful dolphin.
I am chaos and order.
Entropy and life.
But which am I more?
I am all.
I am myself.
Since everybody seems to put a quiz up, I found one that amuses me. So here is my quiz.
The Martial Arts Philosophy Test http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=3782938170278620768
My results were:
The Monk
You scored 20% Closed Fist, 64% Open Hand, and 80% Honor! And so, like all things, it ends. Let's see where you fit... Your score is predominantly Open Hand, thus you tend to think before you act, and view each situation from all angles, before taking action. You tend to meet force with avoiding action, rather than retaliation. While this may seem more "RIGHT" than the Closed Fist, it is no more, and no less correct, it is merely a different point of view. But that's only half the story... Coupled with a high Honor score, you tend to be a caring, giving person, more than willing to take the hardships of others as your own. You see the downtrodden as those who need the most attention, and you will go out of your way to help if you can. Though rarely one to force your viewpoint on someone else, your opinions are strong, and you will defend them, often zealously, however violence is always the LAST option. While this view is more "socially acceptable", bear in mind that it is easy to lose ones self in selflessness to others. Seak an emotional center, and work from there. You would most likely find yourself drawn to the "softer" martial arts, as well as those which seek physical and emotional harmony equally. The various forms of Shaolin Temple, Kung Fu, as well as Aikido, which has no strikes at all, may appeal to you. Well, that's it. Thanks for taking my test. Remember, these are only suggestions, nothing is set in stone. This test is NOT meant to pass judgement in ANY way, nor is it designed to tell you EXACTLY which Martial Art to study. My hopes are to help refine your search, and that you take something away from this, and use it to better your own life. Thanks again, and, as always, feedback IS welcome.
