What It All Boils Down To...
So I took the quiz that Crash posted on his blog and I had two majority beliefs that were equal, they were:
 | You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

and
 | You scored as Idealist. Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

This leads me to believe that in many ways I am very conflicted... Maybe, perhaps, explaining my strange slightly morbid thoughts on life and its meaning in general. In other news I called my parents today to say hi and then spent much of my time bitching about my job... I'm actually rather embarrassed because I keep promising myself that I am not going to bring my work home with me. Interestingly enough, though, I called because I was thinking about my dad... I have a very strange relationship with my dad. We both love each other but we can't agree on a god damned thing. I'm (to majorly stereotype) a hippie-commie-idealist and my father is a right wing-capitalist-realist. There are very few things that we agree on when it comes to politics or business strategy. Anyhow that wasn't why I was calling my family... I was calling because I saw all these people that were a part of the World Masters Games walking into and coming out of the two hotels that I live by. The World Master's Games is a worldwide event that focuses on people that aren't necessarily in their late teens to early thirties. Most of the people participating are far older than that. I am proud to say that my very own father is taking part in this. He is on one of the hockey teams "The Fossils" as they call themselves. Tomorrow they are going to be facing off against a team of men roughly his age (50) who used to play for the Edmonton Oilers. I imagine for my dad this must be a really nervewracking and exhilarating experience. My dad has been a hardcore Oilers fan since he was a little kid. While I'm not a big sports fan myself, I'm really excited for him. I'm really happy that he has this opportunity. Now that I've talked about how proud I am of my dad I don't really know what else to say. I feel a little sheepish for not really having anything philisophical or thoughtful to say... I promise one of these days I will prove that I have a brain. Just not today.
