One for the bulls!

Some bulls are spared if they fight bravely and get to live out their lives in bovine comfort. I wonder if killing a matador counts?

Well... I can walk six blocks to the celebrity softball game. Or stay in this comfortable stool with great scenery, cold beer, and perfect weather...

Cruelty to humans. Boy are they ever stupid. Or macho, same thing.

I've worked on a cattle operation. No fucking way would I ever get up close and personal with a bull. Throw you around like a fucking rag doll. Scare the shit out me!

Today I wore purple as a part of a memorial for a friend who died 6 days ago and tonight I lit the yahrzeit candle for Byron.

It's a strange day of memories. I was also gifted a desk that is probably too big for the space.

Do you ever wear anything for me?

If we knew each other and you died of pancreatic cancer I would wear purple during your service if requested by your next of kin.

Pancreatic cancer...ick. Yeah, that's pretty much a death sentence. I had a friend who got that about six years ago. She and her doctors were convinced they had it beat after a couple of years. It ended up coming back, and she died last year.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, she made 2.5 years, but yeah.

There's an old story about a man going to a restaurant that was very close to the bull ring. He was starved and asked for the specialty of the house. He was served two huge braised bull testicles. They were delicious. He did not know what they were, so he asked the manager. The manager explained tha the testicles were fresh cut out of a bull who fought wll but was killed in the bull ring. The next week, he was in the same neighborhood and stopped and ordered the same meal. The plate came with two smallish balls on it. He queried the manager and the manager said, "Sir, sometimes the bull wins!."

EXTROVERTS vs. INTROVERTS

"1.Extroverts gain energy from being among people, and they gain inspiration and excitement from talking and discussing ideas with other people. And they are more prone to boredom when they are by themselves.

Extroverts are often unfairly pegged as overly-talkative or attention-seeking. In reality, they simply need social stimulation to feel energized."


2.Introverts tend to be more quiet, reserved, and introspective. Unlike extroverts who gain energy from social interaction, introverts have to expend energy in social situations.
They find engaging in "small talk" tedious, but do enjoy having deep, meaningful conversations.

While introverts are often labeled as shy, aloof, and arrogant, these perceptions result from the failure of extroverts to understand how introverts function. They assume that company, especially their own, is always welcome. They cannot imagine why someone would need to be alone; indeed, they often take umbrage at the suggestion.


3.Introverts tend to think about things before talking. They want to have a full understanding of a concept before they voice an opinion.
While extroverts typically learn through trial and error, introverts learn best through observation.

I'm not sure what makes people "normal", but I've met a few poets, and I'm pretty sure most of them wouldn't qualify.

Nice try. I'm sure that one will work.

EXTROVERSION vs. ATTENTION SEEKING

"1.Extroverts gain energy from being among people, and they gain inspiration and excitement from talking and discussing ideas with other people. And they are more prone to boredom when they are by themselves.

They enjoy interacting with people, and they possess high group visibility, like to talk, and assert themselves.

Extroverts are often unfairly pegged as overly-talkative or attention-seeking. In reality, they simply need social stimulation to feel energized."



2."Introverts find engaging in "small talk" tedious, but do enjoy having deep, meaningful conversations.

Introverts tend to think about things before talking. They want to have a full understanding of a concept before they voice an opinion or try to offer an explanation. While extroverts typically learn through trial and error, introverts learn best through observation."

I believe if you ask any other person here, they'll tell you that you'll find this shoe fits you better:

Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of attention seeking behavior and extreme emotionality. Someone with histrionic personality disorder wants to be the center of attention in any group of people, and feel uncomfortable when they are not. While often lively, interesting and sometimes dramatic, they have difficulty when people aren’t focused exclusively on them. People with this disorder may be perceived as being shallow, and may engage in sexually seductive or provocative behavior to draw attention to themselves.

Individuals with Histrionic Personality Disorder may have difficulty achieving emotional intimacy in romantic or sexual relationships. Without being aware of it, they often act out a role (e.g., “victim” or “princess”) in their relationships to others. They may seek to control their partner through emotional manipulation or seductiveness on one level, whereas displaying a marked dependency on them at another level.


Individuals with this disorder often have impaired relationships with same-sex friends because their sexually provocative interpersonal style may seem a threat to their friends’ relationships. These individuals may also alienate friends with demands for constant attention. They often become depressed and upset when they are not the center of attention.

People with histrionic personality disorder may crave novelty, stimulation, and excitement and have a tendency to become bored with their usual routine. These individuals are often intolerant of, or frustrated by, situations that involve delayed gratification, and their actions are often directed at obtaining immediate satisfaction. Although they often initiate a job or project with great enthusiasm, their interest may lag quickly.

Longer-term relationships may be neglected to make way for the excitement of new relationships.

A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates from the norm of the individual’s culture. The pattern is seen in two or more of the following areas: cognition; affect; interpersonal functioning; or impulse control. The enduring pattern is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations. It typically leads to significant distress or impairment in social, work or other areas of functioning. The pattern is stable and of long duration, and its onset can be traced back to early adulthood or adolescence.

Symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder

A pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

Is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention
Interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior
Displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions
Consistently uses physical appearance to draw attentionto themself
Has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail
Shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion
Is highly suggestible, i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances
Considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are
Because personality disorders describe long-standing and enduring patterns of behavior, they are most often diagnosed in adulthood. It is uncommon for them to be diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, because a child or teen is under constant development, personality changes and maturation. However, if it is diagnosed in a child or teen, the features must have been present for at least 1 year.​

Your Pet May Reveal Information About Your Personality

The researchers discovered that people who identified themselves as dog people tended to be more extroverted and eager to please others, while those who described themselves as cat people tended to be more introverted and curious.

What Does Your Car Color Say About Your Personality?

White: As many of our readers have suggested, the color white can feel fresh and clean. The color is often used to evoke a sense of youth and modernity.

Black: Our readers often describe black as a "powerful" color, which might be the reason why black is the most popular color for luxury vehicles. People often describe the color as sexy, powerful, mysterious, and even ominous.

Silver: It's the third most popular color for vehicles and linked to a sense of innovation and modernity. High tech products are often silver, so the color is often linked to things that are new, modern, and cutting-edge.

Red: Dreaming of a red vehicle? Environmental psychologists suggest that you might be a go-getter interested in projecting power, action, and confidence.

Blue: People often describe blue as the color of stability and safety. Driving a blue car or SUV might indicate that you are dependable and trustworthy.

Yellow: According to the experts, driving a yellow vehicle might mean that you are a happy person in general and perhaps a bit more willing than the average person to take risks.

Gray: The experts suggest that people who drive gray cars don't want to stand out and instead prefer something a bit more subtle.

I like a black car for the reason they say one should choose a grey car. I also Like they idea of a yellow car, if we were a two car household ( I wanted a yellow smart car roadster for a while) but resale on yellow cars is statistically lower, so as happy as you are unless the risk you take is that you are prepared to take a greater loss on your outlay, it could equally say that while enjoying the colour yellow, you are poorly researched.

Unlike red which is: meh, overused and *yawn*
Yellow is such a cool colour, but a bit risky, imo. One has to be certain that the car is of a high-standard too.

I don't like a car that stands out, so I prefer navy blue or grey, because I assume that those colours fade in the background.
I wouldn't have thought of blue as projecting an image of dependability or safety, though.
My sister likes silver and maybe white - and those explanations fit her v. well.
