Meyers-Briggs testing has made its way into the blogosphere and has dubbed this blog an ISFP otherwise known as your melodramatic artisan. Now, I have nothing against artistry, in fact I happen to be a lover of certain movements within art. However according to them, I am:

The gentle and compassionate type. They are especially attuned their inner values and what other people need. They are not friends of many words and tend to take the worries of the world on their shoulders. They tend to follow the path of least resistance and have to look out not to be taken advantage of.

Well, the mind baffles.

So in a hope to clarify my personality for Mr.'s Meyers and Briggs, I thought I might add a short list of what I wanted to be, lets get started!
1. Cowboy Up - When I was little, growing up on the farm lead to a yearning to ride into glory on the top of a full grown bull. That hope was soon dashed by my 3.2 seconds of fame the top of a half-grown steer at the county fair. Alas, I was forced to pursue other career tracts.
2. Archeologist - After the short despair following my dreams of bull riding I watched my first Indiana Jones movie and hope returned. He was a man's man, who got play in the mud, fight off bad guys, and get the girl. I'm actually still holding out for this dream.
3. Football Star - It was after my sixth grade year that I realized my calling to football. I had but to gain about a foot of height and a hundred pounds in order to play - and too God's credit He did in fact give me the foot. However, this dream too was dashed by an utter lack of athletic ability, so I moved on.
4. Professor - By my high school days I realized that it was not athletics that would lead me to glory, so I switched stratagies. I began committing myself to being a physics professor, you see I really aspired to wear tweed jackets and rejoice in the beauty of disheveled hair. (Picture is from the movie I.Q.)

For me this turn toward being an artist is a bit of an existential crisis, nonetheless, I hope for you this list clears up my blog personality a bit - but for now i'm going to go paint. Peace.
