The Color Test (Datu, 2007)

Unwilling to extend himself or exert undue effort (with the possible exception of sexual activity). Feels that further progress requires more from him than he is willing or able to give. Would prefer reasonable comfort and security rather than the rewards of greater ambition.

Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which he imposes of himself or by his own choice and decision.

Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.

The situation is preventing him from establishing himself, but he feels he must make the best of things as they are.

Hopes that ties of affection and good-fellowship will bring release and contentment. His own need for approval makes him ready to be of help to others and in exchange he wants warmth and understanding. Open to new ideas and possibilities which he hopes will prove fruitful and interesting.

Feels restricted and prevented from progressing; seeking a solution which will remove these limitations.

a vida

afraid to go on... need to move forward... it takes a lot of courage to wake up each day to face what's there to face... and some days are harder than others...

Proposal Defense

IVa: Emotional State (2 levels, Anxious and Relaxed)

l“subjective reactions to experience that are associated with physiological and behavioral changes” (Papalia, Olds, and Feldman, 2007)

IVb: Attention (2 levels, Selective and Divided)

lSelective attention – “involves focusing on a specific aspect of experience while ignoring others” (Santrock, 2005)

lDivided attention - involves one’s “[attending] to several things simultaneously” (Santrock, 2005)

DV: Memory

l“the ability to reproduce knowledge from memory” (Papalia, Olds, and Feldman, 2007)

Hypothesis 1: That Emotional State has an effect on Memory

Hypothesis 2: That Attention has an effect on Memory

Hypothesis 3: That Emotional State and Attention has an effect on Memory.

THAT WAS F*CKIN' SCARY MAN!!!

THE HEAD OF THE PSYCH DEPT. WAS OUR PANELIST!

To the Relative and the Friend (Those I Considered Heroes)

To the relative:

You were the hero since my birth. You could do no wrong. You were everyone's savior. You were everyone's sister. You had to go. I said you were off to save the world. I knew you would save the world.

To the friend:

You were the hero since we met. You were strong. You were everyone's defender. You were everyone's friend. You had too fall. You would notb give up the fight. I knew you'd win the fight.

To them all:

You could not save the world.

You could not win the fight.

We prayed for you...

Maybe psychology is more powerful than God.

The Lamentations of C. Joseph Michael (in the fashion of T.S. Elliot) -revised-

He walks the streets in sturdy strides

and keeps his hands upon his sides

a journey of a normal day

of blurs that pass from way to way

his legs turn left, and then a right

then sunshine, that of morning light

he hurries forward, time is fast

but then the hook of those things past

Snow White incarnate then calls my name

the call, warmth of the hearthen flame

though to me she has none a blame

I fear I do not feel the same

And time then stops as names are called

as fears of past wounds he recalled

but not to her a word was said

of wounds or of his heart left dead

he smiles, and waves to say goodbye

though deep inside, a need to cry

has swelled within his heart of glass

and bade her memory cease to pass

Snow White incarnate then calls my name

the call, warmth of the hearthen flame

though to me she has none a blame

I fear I do not feel the same

And on he walks upon his way

his hands upon his sides do stay

with strength to gain from each strong stride

he nods his head, hurt will subside

he reaches then the destined door

he knocks, and opens then once more

inside he peers so he may see

if friends are there, but should not be

Orbs that shatter on the felt

of wasting life, of hearts that melt

of idle time, and loss of guilt

and slipping of young minds to silt

There they are, those who waste time

those who now treat him as a mime

who once were friends, but sunk too fast

simmilarities don't seem to last

they live now in selfish vice

and he in his sorrow cannot suffice

as friend, for friends to them clash orbs as well

and he cannot, and never will

Orbs that shatter on the felt

of wasting life, of hearts that melt

of idle time, and loss of guilt

and slipping of young minds to silt

A million friends they have since made

but he who has since been layed

aside for those who have more use

his heart could take no more abuse

he walks away as he does well

and a need to cry begins to swell

again, who likes to lose a friend

has friendship reached its hollowed end

The end is reached, this I must say

but I too must go way to way

for I, a blur to you, in dismay

must say goodbye. I cannot stay.

Shit Happens...

She called again.

*ring*
*ring*

sneak preview: The Epic of Apathy

It is said to be just a shell. Without the warmth, without the life, it is nothing more than a carcass.

What of our memories?

What of the soft hands that held mine, or of the hair that grazed my skin with warmth and flowing grace?

They are testimonies. That shell serves as a reminder of things long gone. Every emotion ever felt, every experience with what is now that carcass... If I was not so naive... If I had only tried to remember or even tried to take a second to recollect, I would not have just stood there. I would not have handled the carcass, emotionless, disgusted at the thing, as it was filthy, infested, and rotting. I would have taken it in my arms, and I would relive every sensation, and recall every memory. I would feel the palms that held me, and brought me warmth. I would feel the hair brush on my skin one last time. I would hold our bodies close, carcass to carcass, and find one last stir of warmth. Only for that moment, it is not just a shell. The carcass is a carcass, but to me it should have been more. It was a part of me. I lost myself as I lost what was once in the carcass.

I found love as she died in my arms.
