Back to Reality

Unfortunately, it is time to get back into the swing of everyday life, not the pure bliss of vacation. Just unpacking all my summer clothes was a major mood letdown. Right now, I am only doing all the homework that is absolutely necessary for tomorrow, and that means no extra credit for Biology, which I probally should have done. It would have been fun (you got to watch a movie), and useful because of the fact that you got 10 extra credit points on your lowest lab grade and test, but I just didn't have the time to do this one.

So as I sit down to do both my projects, I will take this break to give you some useless information.

Question of the Day: Does the MBTI test really work?
This is a personality test that shows what kind of personality you have, and what things you would be the best at. I was excited because some of the jobs that it said I would be good at was being a lawyer, librarian, a social science studier or an entrepenuer. I think it sounded a lot like me, so if you want to find out what yours is, look up the MBTI test online to try it out. My description is listed below.


All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.-->Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.
In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.
Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.
Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietzsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner, Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

Yeah! I am a rational mastermind! Anyway, on with the post.

Story of the Day:
While picking up his bride to bring her back home after a wedding reception in England, the groom was shot in the head by his uncle by accident. His uncle pulled out a lincined handgun to fire one last celebration shot into the air. While loading the weapon, it accidentially went off and hit the man in the head. What a bummer. I can't even imagine how the uncle, much less the bride feels after these events. That really stinks for them. Read the full article below.

MILA of the Day:
"Today I was in a choir concert. While most people normally change out of their tuxes immediately afterwords, I stayed in mine, picked up a dart gun, and pretended to be James Bond for an hour. While doing so, I ran into another guy doing the same thing. A battle ensued, and the imposter Bond is no more. MLIA"

Hmmm...I wonder what happened to the other James Bond. Oh well, I guess I should go back to doing my homework now (or maybe I'll just go and read some more MLIA!!!)
