Catching up... to myself

It's been awhile since I posted anything on this blog, and I doubt this will be long, unless my diarrhea of the keyboard kicks in, as sometimes happens.

I'm experiencing a phase where there are a lot of opportunities opening up, sandwiched in and around a few major disappointments. New friends, new relationships evolve and old ones (including some with erstwhile cherished family members) seem to dissolve.

I've joined an online poets' society that is showing mad love, to the point that I think I can pull off a spoken word expo next summer, and certainly the year after that, with visitors from as far away as Canada and the West Coast.

My lovely 2nd oldest daughter just graduated high school and, instead of the original college-bound plan, is about to embark on an oddyssey with the National Guard, which is something I have to get used to, but ultimately, I trust Lyndsay's judgment.

Surfing the web, I ran across this script for a personality test and, naturally, couldn't resist. The results promptly labeled me Dreamer. Shit! That didn't take a rocket scientist. I took the test again, slightly altering some of my responses, but to a degree that didn't differ much. In other words, a lot of the answers I gave the second go around could just as easily have been my answers on the first.

So I'm curious now. I'd like others to try the quiz - it's not long at all and it's rather fun - to see what your results are. If EVERYBODY is a dreamer, I can think of a scathing post to write about online wool-gathering quizzes.

Anyhow, here go the results for yours truly:


You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul


What Kind of Soul Are You?

Okay, so that's what it says for Jah, but what does it say for you? Let me know... Oh yeah - and if you're a Newborn, Prophet or Traveler Soul, holla back at a brutha. I dream of a claivoyant scene, a fantastic voyage made with a real soulful babe; get my drift? Dreaming's a gift.

Ha Ha Ha Holla.
