Myspace Layouts My score on The Star Wars Personality Test :
Han Solo
(You scored 25% airiness, 10% squishiness, and 31% edginess!)
According to our patented JawamaticTM technology, you are most like Han Solo in personality.Han Solo is down-to-earth and improvisational, cool-headed and cynical. Appeals to emotion rarely sway him, but as he matured throughout the saga, he let his less-well-developed compassionate side show occasionally.Solo is, in a word, cool.(The polar opposite of Han Solo is &Princess Leia Organa.)The eight profiles are as follows:&Han Solo &Yoda &Chewbacca &Threepio &Artoo &Darth Vader &Luke Skywalker &Princess Leia
Link: The Star Wars Personality Test ( OkCupid Free Online Dating )Shingen Takeda
Congratulations! You scored 70% Tactics, 60% Likeability, and 70% Ambition! You've done it. You're Shingen. The "Tiger of Kai." You began your career as a military stretgist, when you recovered one of your father's military blunders. You would contest the title of "daimyo" with your younger brother, Nobushige, and eventually would have your own father exiled, so you could take control over the clan. Originally called Haranobu Takeda, you took the name "Shingen" later after you gained some clout. After becoming daimyo, you entered into an alliance with Yoshimoto Imagawa and close bonds were formed between the two families. Your first act: conquer. you sought to take the outlying area of Shinano, and you did, easily defeating the Murakami clan. Afterwards, you would meet your rival, Kenshin Uesugi, and the two of you would enter into one of the fiercest rivalries in history. The both of you had an interest in Chinese culture, particularly Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." You fought him in 5 battles at Kawankajima, generally only skirmishes. But, the fourth battle was where the two of you went all out. Kenshin charged alone into your main camp, and actually entered one-on-one combat with you. You held him off in time for the reinforcements to show up, but your brother, Nobushige, would not survive the battle. After the struggles with Kenshin, you would discover two plots on your life, one of which coming from your own son, Yoshinobu, whom you exiled. After completing the damming project of the Fuji river (one of the largest domestic projects of the period), you desired to continue your expanision. The real Shingen took control over the Imagawa lands after Yoshimoto was slain, and his incompetant son, Ujizane, took over. It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa had been a part of this attack on Imagawa forces. But, relations between them suffered, and Shingen was forced to take action against his former partner. Then, with the future of Japan hung in the balance, Shingen went into battle with Ieyasu, and he easily defeated his forces, causing him to retreat back to Mikawa. Shingen pursued. He easily crushed the Oda-Tokugawa Alliance, but, as fate would have it, that fateful day at Mikatagahara, the one man who possessed the skill, resources, and position to stop Nobunaga's rush to become ruler of Japan died at the ripe old age of 52. It is disputed whether he was shot by a sniper, or caught an illness of some sort, like pneumonia. Sadly, Shingen's death marked the end of the Takeda. His son, Katsuyori would suffer a crippling blow at Nagashino later that year,losing 1/3 of his generals, including most of the most decorated ones, and Nobunaga would have him commit sepukku, thus ending the legacy of a great man. So, you are the one man who had the will, power, and leadership to rule the country effectively, but old age and illness is the thing that would keep you from your goals. The worst of it all is, it all would've been different, had you only survived a few years longer. You were a brilliant tactician, and well loved by your people. There should be more rulers like you in the world. Congrats, friend, congrats. ..TABLE

You scored 83 Will and 78 Aggression! Forget Dracula, the Mummy, or Frankenstein's Monster, you are the pinnacle of undeath. Among zombies, you are the king or queen: ruthless, insatiable, and deadly. Though you are the undisputed lord of the zombie horde, you still like getting your hands dirty. When you gleefully wade into battle, it is with the mind of a general and the might of a lion. If the heroes manage to defeat you, it's likely only with the help of heavy firepower, and you're sure to take a lot of them with you when you go. ..TABLE

You Have a Melancholic Temperament
Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.
Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.
At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult. What Temperment Are You?A favorite quote? "The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog." - G. K. Chesterton Broadcast talk 6-11-35And another: ""Man is always something worse or something better than an animal; and a mere argument from animal perfection never touches him at all. Thus, in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus no animal invented anything so bad as drunkeness - or so good as drink." - The same. "Wine when it is red" All Things Considered.In the process of renovating the profile but it will take some time.In honor of St. Patricks day, and good movies. "And Shepherds we shall be, for Thee my Lord for Thee. Power hath descended from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. We shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

John Clements (Director of The ARMA), A good looking, very relative term, nice, Christian girl who likes swords, or at least doesn't think they're a waist of time, who want really wants someone who can give them all the love and support they could ever need, and who lives in my area, and would be interested in me..... well at least I have dreams. Sly Stallone, very cool person, loved Rocky. Mel Gibson, loved Payback. Jackie Chan, loved The Legend of Drunken Master. Billy Graham, after whom I was sort-of named, really named after my Dads middle name, but because of Billy Graham. Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Alan Colmes, (yes, I would like to meet him, I think it would be fun to destroy his beliefs before breakfast.) President Bush, I think he's doing the best job anyone in his position could do, rather than running from our enemies. Whoever came up with the Pet Rock, kudos for ripping off lots of stoned idiots.

Music:

Flogging Molly, Ac/Dc. All the Classics, Bach, Tchaikovsky, etc. Creed, 3 Doors Down, ZZ Top, Lynrd Skynrd, Toby Keith, Big & Rich, Eye of the Tiger, by Survivor. The BeeGee's, Beatles, Temptations, and all those other great oldies. Coheed and Cambria.

Movies:

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Highlander movies, The Star Wars phenomena, Braveheart, 13th Warrior, Rambo, Rocky, Demolition Man, Samurai 1,2, and 3, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Zatoichi, Excalibur, First Night, Hero, Kung Fu Hustle, Sidekicks, Surf Ninjas, The Boondock Saints

Television:

't watch much, but when I do, I watch mostly Fox News. In addition, when it used to come on I would watch Highlander the series. Also Inuyasha and Rurouni Kenshin, other than that not much into anime, only like those cause I relate to particular characters in them. Oh, and Helsing.

Books:

Beowulf, The Lord of the Rings (And all other works by Tolkien), The Archeology of Weapons by R. Ewart Oakeshott. Also by the same, The Records of the Medieval Sword. Go-Rin-No-Sho, The Book of Five Rings, by (maybe) Miyamoto Musashi, or his disciples. The Art of War, Sun Tzu. All C. S. Lewis, especially The Screwtape Letters. All books by Frank Peretti. Nichomachien Ethics, think I spelled that right,and Logic by Aristotle. Anything really old. Summa Theologica, by Saint Thomas Aquinas. Discourses and Meditations by Rene.. Descartes.

Heroes:

My dad, who continues to stand for what he believes despite his denominations, that's right another PK, condemnation. I also am condemned by many for the same reason. By the way, for everyone out there's information, he and I are condemned for being too conservative. Just wanted to clarify that. Paul, you know the Apostle. William Wallace, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and all the other brave men who fought for Scottish independence at one time or another. John Clements and R. Ewart Oakeshott. Donald McBane, not a good role model, but great with a sword even into his later years. The military, all of them.
