Your dominant hues are blue and magenta. You’re the one who goes to all the parties but doesn’t quite fit in at every one… you know what you want, but are afraid of what the world might think of it. You’re a little different and that’s okay with them, and if you’re smart it’s okay with you too.
Your saturation level is very high – you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn’t be afraid to lead people, because if you’re doing it, it’ll be done right.
Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.

Most of the time I indeed don’t fit in and more often than not I’m like an observer, even when I appear to be the centre of attention. I wouldn’t say that I know what I want but I defenitely know what I don’t want. Not that this is particularly helpful.
I am about getting things done but only when I am actually interested in the things that need to be done. I can be very dedicated, eager and hardworking, I don’t mind working overtime either, but I need to be challenged, intellectually that is, and I need to be motivated. Otherwise my thoughts will start meandering and the slacking process kicks in.
I’d say my outlook on life is rather dark. I might have my bright moments but in general I tend to be rather pessimistic.

consider this … "Artistic creation is not born ex nihilo from the brains of individuals as a private language; it has always been a social practice. Ideas are not original, they are built upon layers of knowledge accumulated throughout history. Out of these common layers, artists create works that have their unmistakable specificities and innovations. All creative works reassemble ideas, words and images from history and their contemporary context."
"Only after the invention of the creative genius, practices of collaboration, appropriation and transmission were actively forgotten."
"Copyright pits author against author in a war of competition for originality – its effects are not only economic, it also naturalizes a certain process of knowledge production, delegitimates the notion of a common culture, and cripples social relations. Artists are not encouraged to share their thoughts, expressions and works or to contribute to a common pool of creativity. Instead, they jealously guard their “property” from others, who they view as potential competitors, spies and thieves lying in wait to snatch and defile their original ideas. This is a vision of the art world created in capitalism’s own image, whose ultimate aim is to make it possible for corporations to appropriate the alienated products of its intellectual workers."
"The private ownership of ideas over the last two centuries hasn't managed to completely eradicate the memory of a common culture or the recognition that knowledge flourishes when ideas, words, sounds and images are free for everyone to use."

I don't want to exploit anyone's labor. Images and texts were mostly taken from the Internet and are usually linked to where I found them. These images and texts have touched me in one way or another, they've inspired me, made me think, served as a basis for the writing of poetry, etc. If you insist I take one such image or text you consider to be yours and yours only down, contact me, and I might. I'd prefer you to consider my blogging the image or text as a token of recognition, admiration or appreciation though. |

The description completely overlooks some of my more obvious character traits, but what it does say isn’t wrong:

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy.
Your saturation level is medium – You’re not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it’s required of you. You probably don’t think the world can change for you and don’t want to spend too much effort trying to force it.
Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.”
Knowing what you don’t want can be somewhat helpful, although with all the things there are in the world, it can take a very long time to eliminate all the “don’t wants” to find out what the “wants” are. Good luck in that search.
this is true for me too..dont mind working overtime as long as i am being challenged and enjoy what i am doing.
but not a pessimistic at all:).. totally opposite…i believe life is always fun and simple, its us people who make it complicated.
