some days I hate the research I have to do
it's no wonder people in my field end up so cynical

83% of Alberta's forests have been accessed.
That means we have no more than 17% of our forests left
as intact virgin stands.

Do you know how disheartening that is?
And it's not forestry.
It's that everpresent monster oil and gas.
How will we ever pull ourselves away from sucking on that teat?
and we need to.
it won't always be here for us, so why do we rely on it?
it just feels impossible to live a petroleum-free existence
can you imagine? no plastic, no polar fleece,
no electricity, gas, heat, refrigeration, television, computers
we might actually have to spend our time doing constructive things
instead of waging wars

whoa... a little idealistic, sorry.
now it really is an x-rated post... "virgin", "teat",
and criticism of the current political climate...
it's a good thing this country of ours allows us to have free speech
and object to our government, and other governments' actions

Sweet... Bubba Ho-tep is comming to Edmonton? I would go to see that.

You know the idealist catergory(Healers, Teachers, Champions, Advocate) group in general has a small representation among the population. Most of the idealist exist in only 2-3% of the population, the least being healers who have less then 1%. The Healers are the most interesting as they are the true champions of humanity. They fight for the good of all humanity and they are the stereotypical knight in shining armour. Sadly it seems that parents discourage this behaviour and so many Healers feel isolated from society. It would seem that concilors are the reluctant heroes who only act when the need arises... Why couldn't I be a Healer instead...

Oh and yay another ENFJ! Think that makes two of us

Yeah still here, lost my balance on the bottom part of my staircase... leg hurts like a bitch, but it'll be ok, but now I'm hurting all over but I'll survive :)

Ed had mentioned this movie a while back, and now it's coming to town. Bubba Ho-tep, the story of a retired Elvis and a guy who thinks he's JFK trying to defeat an ancient Egyptian spirit that has invaded the retirement home in which they reside. It stars our good Evil Dead buddy, Bruce Campbell. It comes to the Metro March 18, 19, 20, and 21st, and it's only $6.00...

(Did I actually manage to say "good evil dead" and make sense??)

leo, you okay?

oh oh! Ghostbusters!

and no Albert, I am not an INFJ, i'm an ENFJ... slightly different

Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their style of achieving goals, and directive and extraverted in their interpersonal relations.

Even as children the Teachers may attract a gathering of other children ready to follow their lead in play or work. And they lead without seeming to do so.

They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation

I'm in the league of Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Mead, Ralph Nader, David king of Israel (way back when), and Dick Van Dyke. ... seems like an odd lot to be only 2-3% of the human population... if you saw the rest of the list, you'd agree.

Guess who fell down the stairs at home?

Of course "Albert" isn't here... It just me Sousuke...
