Conscious self Overall self The Enneagram is a system which divides all human behavior into nine personality divisions. Your main type is whichever of those nine behaviors you use most, in your case Type 7. Your mean type, Type 6w7, is who you are on average, based on the sum influence of all nine behaviors.

Oh, yeah! I’ve tweaked loudpoet.com somewhat over the past couple of weeks, among other things, improving navigation between it and this journal – check it out over on the right. I’m still too lazy to figure out how to post this thing directly into my web site and kind of like the blogspot address. I’ve
Nothing representing Latinos
Tonight is Acentos and the cluttered attic that is my brain has been toying with an idea that Rich Villar mentioned last month, a couple of weeks after their show with Louis Reyes Rivera. When I heard they had a disappointing turnout for it – including my stupid hungover ass among the missing! – I

Not in hip-hop, or the world in general, for that matter. We’re no more or less safe today than we were on
It’s rant time. The whole home ownership aspect of the “American Dream” escapes me. A couple of years ago, four or five months after Isaac was born, the combination of frustration over being unable to find a decent apartment to rent and the lure of owning our own place, led us to look into buying
Damn! Blogger’s lost a post for the first time. Grrrr… Quick shots: * It’s gonna be a loooooooooong season out at the Meadowlands. The Jets looked terrible last night with Vinny at the helm. Thank goodness for FANTASY football! 🙁 * Watched last night’s debate and didn’t hear anything that changed my mind all that
