Seeing yourself

Just having a quick think about my 'self image'... who do I say that I am?

What is it that defines the way that I currently see myself? Am I a creature of habit? or perhaps primarily motivated by concern for others? or maybe I just seek to belong... or convervesly to be unique and free to act independantly and creatively... or maybe it's not really a question for me to answer, maybe I'm just who God says I am? (if that's not a circular enough definition... given that the degree to which I understand who he says that I am seems to be filtered by how I communicate with him?).

To semi-quote the newest Doctor Who (mostly because it was back at Christmas, and I can't remember all the speech...) "I'm not sure what kind of Doctor I am yet, am I a nice Doctor, a funny one, am I ginger?!"... but either way, I don't think I 'define myself' via other people's view of me...

But nonetheless here's an interesting little site, that you might want to submit your thoughts to - presuming that you actually think you know me! A little site where you try and pick a number of words that reflect your view of someone's personality:

Also, perhaps even more interesting is personality flaws that you might notice:

(Of course, there's also a strong possibility that this could get heavily thrown by 'blogspam'... but hey, it might be fun either way....)

Album of the week

Once again, after a highly profound piece of bloggage - here's something entirely light and fluffy. Here's some new music you really ought to take a listen to. I've had Mutemath's "RESET" EP since the summer and it's cool, some of the most original music I've heard for a while... from some of the former members of 'Earthsuit', plus a red-hot-drummer called Darren... ;-)

Now they've got their debut - eponymous - album out, and I got a copy sent over from their US Website (thank goodness for the $ being rather low against the £!) - although they do seem to be 'Sold out' at the moment though!

Anyway, it's pretty stunning, almost a single piece of music from start to finish - some excellent songs linked with instrumental sections showcasing the individual talents of the band.
Take a listen to a couple of tracks at their MySpace page (although there's something slightly disconcerting about a band having a 'myspace' page as their main site... oh well..)

That was a party political broadcast by the 'lets have a' Party.
