Who Am I?

After reading a post on twitter, I decided to take another Myers Briggs test while rendering a video I was working on. I carefully read and answered each question honestly for accuracy sake. Knowing that I’m already an INFP type personality and since the questions were similar to the first test and I was certain the outcome would be the same. Here’s the results:

Ok...Either this test is not credible or somehow my personality changed. Not convinced, I took another test somewhere else and the result:

A Long Night

“A gang of gay bashers!” my friend cried out while yanking my girlfriend’s wrist on our way to a nightclub as they tread and trip on sidewalk hills. After finally grabbing a hold on my buddy pulling him out of the shadows calmly as possible, I told him that “No one is chasing us, let’s grab a taxi ok.?” Shaken, he finally agreed releasing the tight grip on my startled girlfriend who then points at a tornado forming in the sky with star clusters in its hole that I also see. “This is getting ridiculous!” My mind screamed while hailing for a ride.

Two - Line Haiku

an umbrella as kisses flood
fall cherry blossoms

patterns everywhere
the last cherry blossom

a conversation without words
cherry blossom song

her imaginary moths
white cherry blossoms

“loves me not” and freezing hands
cherry blossom tree

fall cherry blossoms
colors bleed on the battlefield

cherry blossoms without borders
this prison

cosmo flowers -
a child empties out
the crayon box

autumnal gleaning -
death takes more than usual
on this lonely stroll

One - Line Haiku

the taste of dawn in my mouth withered grass

twilight through a pint of lager I gulp in a haze

her stare into nothingness I snap out of

planting myself too deep this spring to bloom

the fishbowl I call earth hermit crab

spring mushroom a rabbit hole to sink my tenth into

Modern Haiku

Spring cleaning...
the stain of memories
I fail to remove

the struggle
of what blooms...
April snow

Winter moonset —
the light of day in full
just before dawn

more ripples —
a migration of fish
as the rain stops

young orphans
and human traffickers...
Mother’s Day

record heat...
people wearing shorts
this late winter

stillness what’s unnoticeable starts to thaw

focal point a microbe blocks my vision

acid test I pass through reality with flying colors

tree bend I suddenly straighten my posture

paper trail the name I carve on a tree

as swallows fall

oO ring clouds OO

more reasons to fund

the unseen

sand hill cranes

as if I was the cause 

of traffic

Failed Haiku

sugar daddy
the bitter taste lingers...
as she talks

inner city life -
streets with borders
of yellow tape

election day
a beggars only vote
for dead presidents

moon glow -
the reflection
of his scalp

deep talk...
the thoughts I share
while asleep

Stand Alone Hokku

mid flight -
a large stir of ripples
from a mayfly

rush hour -
a migration of sparrows
eclipses the sun

the sound of paper fans
and mosquitoes

fallen star
it’s connection...
to the tree
