    Results of the Emotional IQ Test

    Your score = 132

    What does your score mean?
    Your Emotional IQ is excellent - much higher than average. This means that, in general, you are able to express your feelings clearly in appropriate situations. You are optimistic and positive, and adapt well to changed circumstances. You deal effectively with stress, interact with others and communicate adequately. You are comfortable with yourself, and you know and appreciate your talents and strong points as well as your weaknesses. You are able to motivate yourself, find the energy and the strength necessary to complete what you need to do to reach your goals. You are one of the resilient people who bounce back after major drawbacks, survive hardship without bitterness, and still manage to empathize with others. These skills will certainly bring you long-term benefits such as stronger relationships, better health and personal happiness.

    Thanks for the support there Dilligaf. I seriously doubt my score on that lil' quiz deal would be much higher if I took it today, but I talked with the one girl I care about, and we had a good talk most of last night. Things aren't perfect still, but it's a step in the right direction I think. Today she came over and tried to help me clean my room up a little (My room might be the same size as the kitchen in the Redneck Mansion out there in yalls' lil' paradise just over the mountains from my place in Rome). It was cool and we kinda think that it might kinda help to have a fresh new feel to the old place. As far as the blues goes... I found this really awesome jam by Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughn and it cured me like strong medicine. Nothing like music to sooth the pain of a broken heart... drugs, whiskey, and whatever else people might try... sometimes it just takes that one sad note to go way down to where you're feeling, and then pick you back up onto your feet.

    This is all kinda odd, but a friend of mine heard that I wasn't doing too well and he dropped by to give me two Mylan A3s that he said were like a lot of fun or something like that... something like xanax and lorcets combined or something. I'm not into pills really, but I took two and felt worse and lazy, so I went to bed and had some really bad dreams... that was just one night and I didn't see him the next day to tell them how terrible they were. Turns out that this cat, who is a peer minister at our school and he actually came in there to talk to me about his position and legalities and how he had heard something he shouldn't have heard about a friend of mine who confided some rather important things with me, and then he told me that he needed to come and be part of what we were talking about. I never told him or hinted anything to him, but the person in question talked to his girlfriend and she told him (I know... I need a soap opera sometimes it seems). Anyways, I'm basically the minister to a lot of my friends who come from other faiths and backgrounds ( I like to say I'm not the guy Jesus sent, but I'll listen and help regardless... I was a Christian peer minister at one time in my faith journey, but that isn't the path for me, so now I'm kinda pan-theological I guess). Well, this guy who came in to tell me that "by law" he needed to be in here and listening to the stuff the friend was confiding in me with, well now he's all strung out on whatever the hell he gave me and he's not doing too well at all. I feel sorry for him because apparently he's been kinda addicted to those little fuckers, and you know... I used to be like that at one point too to be honest, but I think I learned something the last time I got as low as I was the other night... It's not the pills, or the drinks, or whatever your little dirty secret release might be... those aren't what helps you get outta that kinda hole.... Rather it's the love, support, and music that you surround yourself with that will help you as long as you are willing to leave all that other shit behind for a while and help you help yourself. I mean I had every damn pill and drink and at least an ounce of weed right there at my disposal... not to mention a pack of cigarettes that I shouldn't smoke b/c of my blood and my allergies... and this time I got myself out of a hole that was only getting deeper by trying to use up these damn "quick fixes" and bullshit. Music and love are what it took... and now I feel so much better than I did yesterday... not just love like in the romantic sense, but just friends and family and stuff like that... man, nothin works like all that!

    Emotional IQ

    Your score = 65






    What does your score mean?
    There's some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that your Emotional IQ is relatively low. In a practical sense, this means that you are not reaching your full potential. Low EIQ has a negative impact on all aspects of life such as relationships, your emotional health and level of motivation. As a result of your behavior, others may view you as being critical, inexpressive, inhibited, detached, cold, or even condescending. Your difficulties relating to others and dealing successfully with your own emotions may have a negative impact on your health; people with lower EIQs are prone to anxiety, depression, excessive guilt, aggressiveness, low self-concept, and stress-related problems. Chances are that you also have difficulty bouncing back from life's problems. Now for the good news: by learning and practicing new skills and more effective ways of dealing with people, you can significantly improve your EIQ. The benefits will be numerous, including stronger relationships, a more successful career and better health. Most of all, you will be an all-around happier person.

    i hear ya well lil brother,,, the quick fixxes just dont generally work n so often make us feel mor elike shit in the end,,,,

    ppl i have noticed over the years have come to my self and needed/ looked/ asked for my advice, my views and all on life and its ups n downs,,,, n m quite frankly i get sick of bein the sounding block alot of the times,,, since half the time they take it as an attack somehow rather than what it was actually meant for,,,, thus,,, mmmmm anymore i try n shy away from it all n the he said she said, they said you said bullshit gets to be more than ya can handle,,,, n then ya add your own life and your own woes to it and makes a hella a mess... my music n bond with nature and fire and water help me the most and at times people of the right mindset do wonders as well for ones own mind n most the time they dont even realize they are having that effect on you while it is going on,,,
    anywho,,, glad to hear things on that side of the mtn are goin a bit better for you and remember we are always just a mtn away or two from ya and have an open door policy,,, even if it is just for a few hours of bein somewhere different,,, or for a weekend or what have you,,,, after all brother,,, aint that what family is for ;)
    luv n lite
