About Me


See latest stories on Yahoo! News.. Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™Recent reviews by Mike M. What's this?
Writing a paragraph about me is fairly challenging, since I spend very little time thinking about myself! Well, I'm happily married and have a three year old son and a second child on the way. I'm obsessed with roller coasters. I light parties for a living. I once got in an argument with Lance Henrickson over the home environment of a particular reed. I'm deeply affected by music - when I remember to notice it. I've learned that most hotels look the same, whether in Los Angeles or the Bahamas, if you spend all your time indoors. I'm curious about anything I don't understand, which is rather inconvenient since the more I learn, the more there is to not understand. I can get lost in a good thriller novel (or even a bad sci-fi one) if I'm in a really comfy chair.Wow... that's more than I thought I knew!

You are The Fool

The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.

My score on The Political Character Test :
Nelson Mandela
(You scored 16 Authoritarian and 18 Right Wing!)
Congratulations on being extremely left-wing and extremely libertarian. Your extreme left-wing stance is due to your belief that people should be judged as equal and that everything should be state-owned. You do not want a very strong government. The people are important in your eyes. However, you are verging on anarchy. Remember a life without government is a life of chaos and disorder...

Existence
(You scored 1 Booleanity!)
You exist! Good job being! Depending on which philosophers' and/or crackpots' theories you adhere to, this is either the greatest boon or the most tortuous curse imaginable. I'm afraid you'll have to pick one or the other; this is a binary test, after all.

Democracy... Mildly deep thought & occasional political opinion warning!!
