Am I a Geek?

i am a total geek

And they say I’m a geek… JUST a geek!!!

[Thanks, Pat, for the link I found in your blog]

Seriously, if you’re a big Star Trek Fan (and still one despite what has happened to the franchise lately), you automatically ARE a geek. The answers to the test seem to just add to my geekiness and I scored a little over 25%.

Retreat

I’m on a retreat right now… A retreat of my own making… There are many things I would want to blog about since a LOT of things have transpired in the past few weeks – Taiwan, and now, Germany.

But I am in a period of inward consolidation.

Maybe after my ‘exile’ here, I will have the proper perspective to write about the harrowing harassing enriching experience.

I have to thank my wife and son for keeping me sane all throughout the ordeal.

In Military Strategy and Tactics, a retreat is not always a signal for defeat. It has been employed as a ploy to lure an enemy into a trap. But generally, it is a time to gather up one’s forces, assess the situation, and think over a new, more effective plan to subdue the enemy.

Sorry about the military strategy thing, but I’ve been buried in Romance of the Three Kingdoms – both the novel and the game (the 11th one is a souvenir from Taiwan; a PC game in Chinese where I found an English translation patch on-line).

What Number are you?

Here’s another quiz; got the link from Nina:


You Are 3: The Achiever


You’re confident and competent – with a lot of energy.

Eager to reach your goals, you are ambitious and competitive.

You are good at motivating yourself and motivating others.

You’re also a charmer, with a great sense of humor.

At Your Best: You are kind, confident, and completely authentic. You are witty and full of life.

At Your Worst: You are insecure, narcissistic, and jealous.

Your Fixation: Vanity

Your Primary Fear: Being worthless.

Your Primary Desire: To be important and valuable.

Other Number 3’s: Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Jordan, Madonna, and Shania Twain.

Funny thing is, I’ve always been attracted to the number 3 – I thought it was because i’m always ‘30 something’ in PE back in gradeschool.
So, for those of you who know me, you be the judge. (here’s a hint: I wouldn’t put it if I didn’t think it came close…)
