I'm a Scary German Guy!

I haven't posted in a while, and I have a lot to say, so there may be two or three entries tonight. I don't have too much free time anymore, so the blog has been suffering. Sorry. Not that I think anyone is losing sleep over not reading what's on my mind on a regular basis.

First things first: I took another quiz. Sometimes they appeal to me, and the results amuse me. This one has obvious appeal:

You scored as Friedrich Nietzsche. Well you're an egotistical maniac, and you are so very iconoclastic that you probably are currently lost in a post-modern Jupiter, I mean jungle of self-definition. Don't let it get you down though, someday, through a willful onslaught of reinterpretation of dated forms and ideas, you will strike on something that passes as remotely new, and people WILL be into it on the basis of how hip it is alone. Also, the average espresso drinker looks up to you. Friedrich Nietzsche 83% Miyamoto Musashi 67% Elvis Presley 50% Jesus Christ 50% Dante Alighieri 42% Charles Manson 42% O.J. Simpson 33% Mother Teresa 25% Adolf Hitler 17% C.G. Jung 17% Stephen Hawking 17% Steven Morrissey 17% Hugh Hefner 8% Sigmund Freud 8% What Pseudo Historical Figure Best Suits You? created with QuizFarm.com

That picture makes it look like he's eating a badger. Seriously, that mustache could double as a hay bale.

I like the idea of being compared to Neitzsche, though. Who wouldn't want to be seen as a deranged, syphillitic genius? Thus Spake Zarathustra was a great read, and I have The Birth of Tragedy waiting for me when I get around to philosophy again.

Also, I share a birthday with Dante Alighieri. Not the same year, mind you . . .

Now I need to find out who the hell Miyamoto Musashi is.
