Duh

Your result for Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test...

Linguistic

33% Logical, 10% Spatial, 67% Linguistic, 18% Intrapersonal, 35% Interpersonal, 16% Musical, 6% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 35% Naturalistic!

"Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.


Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers." (Wikipedia)

I disagree

So yahoo was running something about Usher's new vidoe for Trading Places being disrespectful to his newly crowned wife. Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvVVbwkWFXQ It is hot. It is steamy. It is an Usher video.

Now my point is that this man is a musician in a music video. To me, that means he's an actor in the video. Watching that, I saw them brush lips but never out and out mack on each other. Usher made his name and his money on the fact that he's sexy and sings sexy songs. So his fans expect sexy when they open a cd or watch a vidoe by him. Some lame video where he doesn't have his shirt off or have some hot lady in it would piss his fans off. So, as a woman myself, if I knew my man made me money off of being sexy, I would understand and expect sexy on his records and in his videos. Kind of a DUH moment to me.

Dumb and Dumber

So I clicked into the debate for less than 5 minutes before I was so pissed that I clicked out and froze the computer.

So NONE of the main people running for office support gay marriage. Palin says that she and Mac don't want legal rights as such given to gays, but if your partner is sick you can come see them in hospital. Thanks. That means so fucking much

But if my partner dies, then I'm fucked because I'm not able to marry her/him because your backwardsass religiously motivated self refuses to allow marriage to happen between anyone but a man and a woman.

And then Biden pops up that he doesn't support gay marriage either. That he nor B O support it but they want civil liberties given to same sex couples who are in stable relationsips. SO...if that IS true- why can't I marry a woman if I so chose? Why couldn't my uncle marry the man he's been with for years? WTF? You say that you don't want to infringe or limit civil liberties of people in stable, committed relationships but stop them on the brink of actually being seen as equal citizens, deny them the right to a civil partnership. ReALLY?!

And Biden is a twat for saying that global warming is all man made. I reckon the dinos did themselves in too, all those damn CFCs and methane emmissions from their HUGE dino farts.

And then Palin wants to drill up Alaska. Can we have no sacred place? Can we not leave well enough alone? Why don't we look into other energies and say screw oil and fossile fuels as a way to drive us into the future? She talks so damn much about her energy "record" but her idea is to knock more holes into the earth and sap out any thing she can put her paws on. What is going to happen to the natural world when they drive out tehre with their big oil drilling rigs, chop down the trees - all the better to eat you my dear- and wipe out the natural resources that make Alaska a place to see? She says that they leave such a "small footprint" even when drilling on land. Ok, when I look at a place like Alaska, I don't want to see your big ass foot anywhere in my view. I don't want to see a toe mark. Nada. Zip. If we are going to do something as rash as tap Alaska (dry), then I want it to look like my campsite when I leave the next day- a little bit of flattened grass and maybe a small charred bit of dirt from my fire, you know..a blackened stone or two. I don't want to see forrest clear cut or gashes ripped in the sides of mountains or anything like what coal mining or oil drilling leaves behind. If I built a house, I dont want to see your oil platform from my window, it better look like just another stand of friggin trees.

So again, we are stuck with only 2 real choices. One choice is fueled with the words "hope" and "change" but seem to only have "hope" and "change" for some, you know those straight folks. And the other side is mounted by Methusala and Caribou Barbie (tm). Where the hell are the options? Really? I feel like I'm stuck between dumb and dumberer.

Stupid country. Stupid elections. Stupid candidates.

This gets political- you were warned

So I got this email from my mom the other day and just opened it. This is what it said:

"'no longer a Christian Nation'

As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as
Barack Obama made the statement with pride...we are no longer a Christian
nation; we are now a Nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .'
As with so many other statements I've heard him (and his wife) make, I never
thought I'd see the day that I'd hear something like that from a
presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and
died for the right for our nation to be a Christian Nation--and to have this
man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come
from what our founding fathers intended it to be.

I hope that each of you will do what I'm doing now--send your concerns,
written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With
God's help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can
show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a
Christian nation!"

Now, keep in mind that the founding fathers were all atheists, agnostics, or deists. NOT CHRISTIANS- Like they are playing. Our pledge didn't have "under God" added in until the 50s.

And I'm so sick of seeing shit like this against Obama. I'd be sick of it if it were against McCain either. Or Hillary, or Kerry, or Gore, or Bush, or any fing other presidential candidate. Leave religion OUT of politics.

But this did come from my mom who said that Obama was a "terrorist" and has made statements about a "colored" (cleaned up for my tastes) man taking office. GET THE HELL OVER IT! He's black, whooopie.   The real story is that it's no longer ok to attack him as a black man and say we don't exactly want him in office because he's black, so we have to attack other places.  These people are basically calling this man a "godless negro."  If it were a different time or I were a different person, maybe that would be my POV too based on where I live, you know where the KKK still has offices, but that's bullshit to me.  If you have a problem, then don't vote for him.  Don't be petty and small and attack him senselessly.  That's just childish.  

Attack the issues, not the man.  That's the American Way, or at least it should be the American Way.

So, Purple Basically

you are indigo
#4B0082

Your dominant hues are blue and magenta. You're the one who goes to all the parties but doesn't quite fit in at every one... you know what you want, but are afraid of what the world might think of it. You're a little different and that's okay with them, and if you're smart it's okay with you too.

Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.

Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.

Six Things

"The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer."

Since I hate to be tagged, I tag not here.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago? Let's see, I was 14. That puts me in middle school, living in Columbus, GA. Arnold Middle School- 8th grade. I would have been totally in love with a guy named Matt, dorky but tall, dark, and goofy cute. I was giving gifts for all occasions- wearing tie-died pants on Easter. My parents were still married- unhappily. I was growing up- trying to figure life out. :P

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order): write study guide, learn to center clay on the wheel, spin, knit, take a nap, grade papers. Notice what I put last - the thing I hate most!

3) Snacks I enjoy: Apples, bagelfuls, cheesesticks

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Quit my job, invest some money, save the rest and live off of the interest. Buy a new car. Pay off my credit cards. BUY MORE YARN!

5) Places I have lived: Cordele, Americus, Columbus, Ga Seale, Alabama

6) Jobs I have had: waitress, tutor, lab monitor, teacher, babysitter
