March 31...

Aaron MADE me take this personality test and asked me to post the results... grrr...
anyway, here goes.... [i would like to think that I am not Melancholy Choleric, maybe Sanguine.. but everyone can dream right?] =)

Melancholy Choleric
14 Sanguine, 50 Melancholy, 50 Choleric, 21 Phlegmatic
Hail to you who is a Choleric Melancholy.

The depth to see into the heart and soul of life.
The grip of leadership to head us to the good.
The firm control when others ar losing theirs.
The ability to analyze and arrive at the proper solution.
The willingness to take a chance in a doubtful situation.
The talent to create a masterpiece where nothing existed before.
The pledge "if it is worth doing, it's worth doing right."
The confidence to hold true in the face of ridicule.
The urge to "take arms against a sea of troubles by opposing them."
The aim to finish what you start.


Yours is the most successful combination of the personality types. The pairing of your decisive Choleric leadership, drive and goals, with your Melancholy's analytical, detail conscious, organized schedule-oriented mind is unbeatable. Your melancholy side is inclined toward perfection, and your choleric side is predisposed towards success. So you will get what you want no matter how long it takes. 
This is what is awesome about you as a Meloncholy:
You are deep, thoughtful, analytical, insightful, serious, purposeful, genius prone, talented, creative, possibly artistc, musical, poetic or philisophical. You are considerate, conscientious, self-sacrificing, and sensitive to others. In the workplace you set high standards, pick up after others, are schedule oriented, organized, detail concious, persistent, and thorough. You like charts and graphs. You see the problems and find creative solutions. As a friend, you make friend's cautiously, are content to stay in the background, avoid causing attention, are faithful and devoted, deeply concerned for others, will listen to complaints, and you can solve people's problems.

And here is what is awesome about you as a Choleric
You are a born leader, strong willed, active, dynamic, decisive, not easily discouraged, unemotional, independent, self-sufficent, confident, with a compulsive need for change & to correct wrongs, and you can run anything. At work you are goal oriented, you see the whole picture, seek practical solutions, quickly move into action, delegate, organize well, insist on production, stimulate activity and thrive on opposition. As a friend, you have less need for friends than other temperments. You'll work for group activity, lead, organize, and you excell in emergencies. You are usually right.


Can you see how cool this makes you? You can do anything! Others are hesitant, indecisive, impulsive but not you. However, it is not all roses. There are some hefty weaknesses here too.

Here are your weaknesses as a Choleric:
First of all you don't think there is anything wrong with you. You think you are always right, so you can't be wrong. You'll probably think the following aren't even weaknesses. They are. Cholerics are impatient, impetuous, inflexible, unsympathetic, bossy, quick tempered, dominating, and too busy. You can't relax, you won't let others relax, you like to argue, you won't give up when you are losing, you won't admit you are wrong, and basically you come on too strong. In the workplace, you have little tolerance for mistakes, you don't compliment others instead you are rude and tactless, you make rash decisions by glossing over details (unless you have a melancholly edge to you), you are manipulative & demanding. As a friend you tend to use people, dominate, decide for others, know everything, think you can do everything better than everyone else, be unapologetic, and be too independent.

Those blend powerfully with the weaknesses of the Meloncholy:
You remember negatives, hold on to hurt, sulk, get moody or depressed or guilty, you are too introspective, self-centered, with a low self-image, you feel persecuted and you mind is off in another world. In the workplace you may be too meticulous, or a martyr. You are not people oriented, choose dificult work, are hesitant to start, spending too much time on planning, prefering analysis to work, and you are hard to please with your high high standards. As a friend you live through others, are critical, withdrawn, hold back affection, don't accept compliments, you are unforgiving, suspicious, and you dislike those in opposition towards whom you are antagonistic and even revengeful.


Okay that is a crap load of negativity there. You are for the most part, freaking awesome. You are the cornerstone of any good plan. Without you everyone would just be running around like a chicken with their head cut off, or sitting around relaxing doing nothing. The other personality types would like you to understand how overbearing you can be, and they'd be grateful for more acceptance from you, but for the most part they appreciate your making things happen.

March 13....

Last night was an amazing night! The evening at the MPO was one that
I would cherish & remember.. [other than the Fourplay jazz
performance there last year]

Chick Corea is a prolific jazz composer/musician that has a track
record going down all the way in the history books of jazz & music,
in the past playing with/for legends like Al Dimeola, Miles Davis,
Stanley Clarke, John Patitucci, Dave Weckl, Al Jarreau and many
more... not to mention he is a multiple Grammy award recipient.

The feature for the sold-out performance at MPO last night was Chick
Corea on the piano & his vibraphone counterpart, Gary Burton (once a
lecturer & Chief Operating Officer at the prestigious Berklee College
of Music). Amazing...

Well.. Jeremy's family, Aaron, Barry, Ps Chris and I attended it and
I guess it was just pure fun and inspiring.. they did famous
repertoires like Native Sound, Crystal Silence, Duende...
Ah well, now we can only hope that he brings down his whole band the
next time round [if he does come back!]

Well that basically wraps all of it up...
