Live Paradox

A journeyman’s ramblings: He is no everyman, but one who turns a carefully focused eye on the events of the madcap world around him. He aims to point out what others miss and draw attention to the patterns that exist amongst the chaos.

2:11 PM - Obvious Friday Filler

Music: Soak Up the Sun by Sheryl Crow

It may look like I’m copping out… because I am. But this is a blog, afterall, and posting song lyrics and quiz results is one of the most common uses of blogs (and you'd better be thankful I don't kvetch about who's dating who and who's cheating who, which is the other major topic of blogs).

Here’s some lightweight quiz results with commentary. Enjoy.

Your Hawaiian Name is:

Keahi Meka


What's your Hawaiian Name?

Personal Comment: Sure. Why not? Can someone help me pronounce that?


In a Past Life...

You Were: A Blind Beekeeper.

Where You Lived: Peru.

How You Died: Natural causes.


Who Were You In a Past Life?

Personal Comment: Wow. I would never have guessed that.




You Are Dr. Bunsen Honeydew

You take the title "mad scientist" to the extreme -with very scary things coming out of your lab.
And you've invented some pretty cool things, from a banana sharpener to a robot politician.
But while you're busy turning gold into cottage cheese, you need to watch out for poor little Beaker!
"Oh, that's very naughty, Beaker! Now you eat these paper clips this minute."


The Muppet Personality Test

Personal Comment: I'd normally contest this, but recent explosive experiments in the newspaper parking lot come to mind.



You Have a Sanguine Temperament

You are an optimistic person who is easily content.
You enjoy casual, light tasks - never wanting to delve too deep into anything.
A bit fickle, it's easy for you to change plans or paths when presented with something better.

You enjoy all of the great things life has to offer - food, friends, and fun.
A great talker, you can keep the conversation going for hours.
You are optimistic and sure of your success. If you fail, you don't worry about it too much.

At your worst, you are vain. You are obsessed with your own attractiveness.
A horrible flirt, you tend to jump into love affairs and relationship drama easily.
You're very jealous - which just magnifies the craziness around you.



What Temperment Are You?

Personal Comment: I'd agree with everything but the love affair thing. Yeah... That ain't me.




You Are External - Skeptic - Powerful


You feel your life is controlled externally.
You tend to attribute most things to luck or karma.
You don't own your successes or your failures.
You tend to take life as it comes, but you're also apt to feel helpless.

You are a total skeptic when it comes to luck.
You believe that people use luck as a crutch to avoid responsibility.
You control your own destiny. The universe has nothing to do with it.
You believe everything can be explained - and you tend to over analyze situations.

When it comes to who's in charge, it's you.
Life is a kingdom, and you're the grand ruler.
You don't care much about what others think.
But they better care what you think!




The Three Dimension Luck and Power Test


Personal Comment: I think it stresses power too much, but hey, most poeple do.


Who Should Paint You: Roy Lichtenstein

Larger than life, your personality overshadows everyone in the room
A painter would tend to portray you with a bit of added flair!



What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

Personal Comment: But isn't he dead?


Your 1920's Name is:

Godfrey Prince



What's Your 1920's Name?


Personal Comment: If life were a crime noir novel, I'd totally answer to this name.


Your Christmas Song Is

Redneck 12 Days of Christmas

Twelve-pack of Bud
Eleven Wrastling tickets
Ten o' Copenhagen
Nine years probation
Eight table dancers
Seven packs of Redman
Six cans of Spam
Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires
Three shotgun shells
Two hunting dogs
... And some parts to a Mustang GT.

You don't think that 27 strings of Christmas lights are tacky
And you swear that eggnog from last year is still good!


What Christmas Carol Are You?

Personal Comment: Parts of this song are more easily related to than others, but I'm not telling which.


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?
Personal Comment: Interesting. Being practical can sometimes get you labeled Machiavellian. I'm not sure whether I should get more cynical or paranoid at that thought.


Your Hair Should Be Purple

Intense, thoughtful, and unconventional.
You're always philosophizing and inspiring others with your insights.

What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color?

Personal Comment: Funny. I would have thought it was green.


You Passed 8th Grade Science

Congratulations, you got 8/8 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Science?

Personal Comment: Well, I passed it once. You would hope I could pass it again... even if I was guess on the neutron question.


You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer

Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.
And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.
Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...
Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!

What Type of Writer Should You Be?


Personal Comment: Right, if I ever get that multi-trilogy epic out of my brain and onto paper, we'll see if this is true.


And because you've all been asking :


Your Sexy Red Shoes Are
Casadei 1203
What Sexy Red Shoes Are You?


Personal Comment: Tell me the truth, this doesn't surprise anybody, does it?
