About Me

A View of the Han RiverWith its three southern branches reaching the Chu border, And its nine streams touching the gateway of Jing, This river runs beyond heaven and earth, Where the colour of mountains both is and is not. The dwellings of men seem floating along On ripples of the distant sky -- These beautiful days here in Xiangyang Make drunken my old mountain heart!--Wang WeiI edited my profile with My Ass
You scored as Friedrich Nietzsche. Well you're an egotistical maniac, and you are so very iconoclastic that you probably are currently lost in a post-modern Jupiter, I mean jungle of self-definition.Don't let it get you down though, someday, through a willful onslaught of reinterpretation of dated forms and ideas, you will strike on something that passes as remotely new, and people WILL be into it on the basis of how hip it is alone. Also, the average espresso drinker looks up to you.

Nelson Mandela
You are Nelson Mandela. Your rise from prisoner to President in the long struggle against South African apartheid is an inspiration to the world. You prefer non-violent methods like boycotts, marches and other direct action, but you will use sabotage and other acts of violence when forced to do so.
