RIF - "Reich Center for Industrial Fat Provisioning" ("Reichsstelle für Industrielle Fettversorgung")
RJF - "Pure Jewish Fat" ("Rein jüdisches Fett")
A source of major controversy, I don't wish to to type out the details of the acronyms mentioned above.
The War of 1857 - Cow Fat used in lubricating, loading the cartridges of rifles used by the Hindu Soldiers.
Fight Club - Tyler Durden, manages to acquire fat from liposuction clinics, to use in his soap factory.
What I would like to share with you, is look at the manipulation technics employed in wartime Germany to instill fear among the victims and sicken them at the time.
And how the same technic was used by the war mongers against the British to disgustipate the mercenary that fought under the union jack.
Why did I include Fight Club on the list, just a tangent of thought. Did Chuck Palahniuk employ this literary device to disgust you at face value. Or were there deeper connotations?

September 13th, 1752
There is this distinctive element of pleasure that is to be derived from orchestrating an event. To have mastered the whole situation and all the variables that is to be an encountered in the system. It's quite invariably pleasurable to master this artform.
Through history myth and legend alike have amassed, plundered and pilaged through with knowledge of this artform; the Chankya Sutra, The Art of War, The whole Shakuni escapade, we have Shikhandi as the front man in the fight against Bhishma. Through every mythology, you find this elite event coordinator.
Now the beauty of this individual is how well laid out thought out are his/her operations. And it is in the occurence of the event itself that they take pride in and not the egoistic pleasure of having to be accountable to it. I'm sure the ppl behind JFK's assasination would grail. The folks who got the Bush elections to be a success will agree.
The people who control what happens in front of you, where the average joe blow is quite unaware of the calculations that took place to make it happen. that is sheer brilliance... War monging soldiers well never know the intricate delicacies that espionage can serve.

Vera... Vera... What Has Become Of You?
Isnt It Ironic?
Shankar Mahadevan; trained to be computer engineer...turned out to be a singer....
Arundhathi Roy; qualified to be an architect ... ...Booker prize in her first book....
Manoj Night Shyamalan; his folks insisted he be doctor ... but he preferred his 8mm camera instead...
do u see a common streak, ppl or is it just me... what's the deal... hey folks ... so he/she aint a doctor or enggr... doesnt look like their lives went down the drain now did it? so why dont u give em a chance...
"the narrow domestic walls" are yet to meet the fate of their Berlin counterparts...
so what is the root cause of this social dilemma as i'd like to call it now.. is it the insecurity faced by a generation ..and that is being superimposed on this new generation to circumvent the anger and frustration that generation had to face as they realized a non-technical education has it's limitations in the social strata... and is this so called higher education a ticket to all of life's pleasures and are these ppl truly trying to elevate their social status by thrusting upon their children the divinity of these professions..
so does one's profession define who u r ... or was it that worldly pleasures that can be assured the vortex of this school of thought... would they turn around to call the younger generation ungrateful for they never made them have to suffer the sufferings that were forced upon them... the shame anger and frustration of an entire genreation is that what this spew of doctors and engineers are supposed to mean...
but wait a minute.... how abt the flipside of the coin ... the anguish, the retribution, the sheer anonymity of a human life form ... pushing me to exist for the sake of fulfilling your dreams and not mine... what abt my dreams what abt what i want to become .. what abt the little castles i have .. what abt them... am i just ur demon seed for not obeying ...am i to scummb to ur desires or be forsaken for an eternity... do i not get a chance to do what i want to do... why do u create this barrier... and route all communication thru this one channel... why does every conversation we have always have to be about how much i have upset u .. abt how much i never lived up to ur aspirations .. why is it never a positive note... why is never abt what i have attained... why does every conversation we have turn into a confrontation ... is this so called generation gap that u speak off.. actually ur not willing to accept the truth ...ur utopian fantasies being fulfilled is what my life is supposed to be to u....isnt it... u want tobe a ventriliquist forever... dont u ... with ur hands shoved up my arse .... making me say and do what u want me to ...
let's cut it the strings ...it's abt time...

Coke-a-Doodle Doo!!
“A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking.” Andy Warhol
That one line got me going ... the material belongings we strive for ...as soon as it becomes common place it loses it's significance... so it isn't about the material value of the item itself now is it... it's about how exclusive the item is.. and how u can flaunt it for it's non-availablity to the general public..and then rub it in their face...so it can be cheap/expensive... old/new as long as it stands out and you can garner attention for possessing something they do not have and cannot easily get...so it is ADD ..topped with greed and gluttonous consumerist propaganda... would you like some fries with that?
so where does one draw the line .. or does one not think abt lines and narrow domestic walls that keep the apple orchards from growing into the woods dark and deep... My Captain Oh Captain I call out to thee, the one who made the lamb, can u sing me a song of a lad that has gone.. the unkindest cut of all would be to spend an eternity waiting with the alabatros around my neck...

r u more than a mediocre statistic?
In today's hyper-selling universe that we live in ... you are all a part of the captialist casualities... instituitionalized thru your so called education... you have lost your voice to be somebody... to be a contender... u wouldn't step up against an injustice in school, college or on your neighbourhood .... coz it doesnt bother you.. it's not a matter of concern to you.... in the capitalist's world... Recession is when your friend loses his job.. Depression is when you lose your job...
The cultural dilemma of yesterday's tradition and tommorow's technology throws u in one of the greatest juxtapositions of all time...do i go home to make microwaveable sambhar and pressure cooked instant idlis... or do i see success in life coming from having to try making my Yuppie existance urn into ur averages DINS household..
Is being mediocre what life is all abt ... and is conformity the end of the rainbow... why on earth can u stand up for what is right... why are ppl so obssessed with your senior officer might see that as insubordination... why are students so freaking scraed of reporting to a higher authority their prof/teacher sucks... why do they just keep sucking up to him/her.. and not just lose it and tell somebody this absolute moron in real life who cant get a real job has taken to teaching!!!
It's my honest anaylsis on the whole teaching proffession.. in a demographic of 100 students in a school class room environment ... 3-5 might be brilliant ...and should mostly like be stalwarts in the profession of their choice... then there 10-15 real bright kids... they are passionate abt certain things ... but undue pressures from parents abt making em follow a career they are least interested will turn these ppl into chornic depressed individuals.. who's true potential was always down played... and they were only made to see their flaws and follies... then there's the 20-25 ppl whose lives started out with not many great expectations and they are cool with what they have ... then there's the crowd that brings out teacher's ... ppl who actually dont have the grey matter to come out at the top .. whose ego's wont let them take a menial ok paying job in the blue collar work force.. these ppl are so frustrated that they didnt turn into those super heroes with dream jobs that they once dreamt abt ...
they take a look at the students they teach .. see the passion and drive these kids have.. and cringe at the ppl they once were and the wasted chance they were given.. they are so freaking frustrated in life at being now where close to the reality they had once wanted to be.. they make it their singular duty to trample the spirits of these youngsters ... turn them into obedient lil puppy dogs ... that havent figured out that that disapproval and disagreement isnt the same as disobiednece........
these kids are so ..omg.. what if he flunks me ... he'll make my life living hell... they have enslaved themselves ..and confined their living to the lowest low of human existance...a mediocre non-entity... a statistic... a roll number .. a tax payer... an identity number... you have thrown away a full fledged human life ... flushed it down the drains of corporate mediocrity ...and made ur self a statistic...

The Greatest Silent Killer of'em All!!!
The cure for aids and cancer can wait ... They aren't half as lethal or dangerous as this situation at hand... It's not SARS Leprosy Anthrax or Small Pox... They can never be as lethal as this... The fatality inflicted upon the billions of ppl in it's name is mind boggling ... Yet u and i never pay attention to thru beligrent malady that floods us and flaunts itself and smacks us on our faces over and over again ... Napolean must have felt it at Waterloo, Hitler must have felt it creep down his neck as Colonel Winter brought his Russian conquest to a screeching hault... Gandhi must have felt the screams and scuffles as India got torn to shreds... What is it that has had it's universal prescene on the planet ... yet there's nothing that has been done to fix up the fiasco... Mother Teresa hadn't been able to soothe the one's aflicted by the damage... Pope John Paul never prayed to stop it's attrocities... the Dalai Lama never mentioned it ... Swami Vivekananda didnt seem to notice... those seven laps around Kabbah with those glorious chants of 'labayak allah!' never brought about any change...
So what am i raving about...... APATHY.... yes...apathy... student apathy... in colleges and universities ..after all the SNAFU and FUBAR they go thru on a regular basis ... they can care less... FACTORY WORKER APATHY... TEACHER APATHY... as a nation the citizen's engage in another distinct flavor of national APATHY... at hte end of it u just realize it's the biggest killer out there... and we're just doing absolutely nothing about it...
so y dont u just sit back and do jack shit abt it as well... hey u might feel this a piece of bullshit ... and this moron has nothing better to write about and i should tell him a word or two ...but dont !! dont bother... wtf... who cares??

Phoney Smiles Fake Hellos
I've come to learn one very very important lesson. Families should never be phoney. Oh! God No! Not the slightest bit. Dysfunctional is okay. Normal even. But please not phoney. Remember the line from "Pink - Family Portrait" 'In our family portrait we look pretty, let's play pretend that it comes naturally' [I think I kinda choked up when I first saw the video] Now each time I come across a family portrait where the folks in em are posing in front of a camera faking that smile; the men making sure that ties line up straight, the collars are right, the crease on the trousers are proper, the shoes are polished.
The women, the protocol and procedure is quite as elaborate as detonating a nuclear arsenal. The right angle "You dont want to look FAT on camera!" your camera side is the left half of your face so u have to have that side of the picture. The coats of makeup added on to pile up on your face to ensure that over the years the actual facial maladies are never to be deciphered be a viewer. Thanks to digital photography I guess they can relax, but no the fish scales have to be applied to the lips... various types of synthetic mud to the face .. Various grades of charcoal products to the eyes to make the lashes fan out ... Shaved Waxed permed oh my god facial hair on a female's face is truly the lowest low in the incarnation chart ... the inhuman treatment that as facial hair you'll be subjected to is just beyond comprehension of anyone.. except for those less fortunate few who spent time in a concentration camp.. they might know what i'm talking abt.. or conceptualize the sheer gross amount of pain ...
Back to the family portrait ... after these men and women have indulged in unhealthy levels of vanity and pose in front of a camera ..

WHY? who's this for? What are you accomplishing by paying some one to take a picture of u .. in the most ill fitting uncomfortable clothing u ever ..probably clothing u leave behind in the closet...coz there isnt anywhere to wear it [that reminds me of the lady with the red dress in Requiem For a Dream] u stuff ur self into it.. wipe the sweat of ur brow... stare at the mirror the photographer has one last time ..as u practice the fake smile for the pic...
It's just outright disgusting... It's sickening coz u have to fabricate a reality to remember.. a pseudo-reality that will last for the length of shutter speed configurations... U need that developed film to look at ...and feel like "it comes naturally" ....
Before u forget ..vacation pictures are abt the fun time u had... like animals you have to be caught in your natural habitat.. doing what u do best!!! and then make funny faces at the camera... Dont wear a freaking suit and look like u have a hemmaroid the size of khilamanjaro stuck up your rear end ... that's not for your family vacation pix .. those are corporate mug shots ... government id shots... go ahead ... be that way... dont fake wedding photos... family gatherings .... and other events.. which mean things to u ... or are supposed to mean things to u ...
It's astonishing the lengths people go to, to make it look good, that's just botched...
That's that about portraits ...here's something else to chew on ... how often do u hear a conversation ..and have ur gut churning up everything u ate over the last decade ..Coz jesus christ how many fake conversations can u stand before you have an Ally McBeal moment ... There's a threshold to the amount of bullshit you can stand... And i've always wondered what keeps these ppl going... what's their elixir of life? what keeps the faketronic processor churning those reposes... one after their other.. they dont have the guts to give u a straight answer.. they cant say yes or no for fear of being politically incorrect.. they cant voice a strong opinion coz it might offend somebody... and the superfical niceties just keep populating the major expanse of their conversations ..if they maybe called that... ppl ...learn to grow balls... voice your response ...it could be right or wrong ..it doesnt matter... learn to have an opinion ..and stand by it ... dont copy some one else's tastes coz it seems cool... or since u have associated with that particular school of thought/product... No!! mainstream media, technology, views, literature has nothing to offer the human mind...
Intellgent thought comes from free thinkers ... non-conformists ... have the niche to stick ur head out to do something other than the ordinary...i believe in the mantra i wasnt born to be mediocre ... and these phoney ppl remind me of how much they want to be a part of a mediocre existance.. free from the chaotic nature of true free existance... independence ....from standards set by industries society and all other bureacratic instituitions out there....or you could just sit back have one good look at life, go up to google and find out "answer to life, the universe, and everything" get the answer ..and just say "FAKE IT!"

The women, the protocol and procedure is quite as elaborate as detonating a nuclear arsenal. The right angle "You dont want to look FAT on camera!" your camera side is the left half of your face so u have to have that side of the picture. The coats of makeup added on to pile up on your face to ensure that over the years the actual facial maladies are never to be deciphered be a viewer.

Endaro Mahaanubhaavulu Andariki Vandanamulu
Why is it that we as people need to be awarded, gifted, appreciated in front of our peers to feel valid. Actors need award ceremonies to tell them they are good. Students need to be heralded for their respective laurels! Sportmen/women need to compete with each other excel and finally be accredited with a hunk of metal to show the rest of the world they are good.
Why? Why give peace prizes and nobel prizes? Who's ego's are being stroked in the process... Is an award a prosthetic that adds to the aura around an individual. Does a singer's vocal chords sound any better after he/she's been bestowed upon with a record contract and a half... thanks! Do soldiers turn into war monging deities with their bands colors and stripes...
Who is it for? Is it to inform the general public; look morons this individual strived way beyond what you lame excuses for human life forms ever will... This award he/she just won is to show you that your birth certificate is actually an apology letter from a condon factory. Your medicore existance means nothing to humanity. Go win something! and then come back, we'll give u a piece of paper that makes u special. It's a feather in your cap.. and what good is it there? It turns u into a super human... well.. a lil re-enforcement can do no harm... a lil caring, a good word , a regular thanks for the support would be cool.. but that never does happen now does it!
In our day to day lives we spend way too much times sprinting towards some dead line... sprinting to be the first ... to be noticed.. to be touched to be awarded ... to be a part of history.. to be remembered... for someone to flip thru our portfolio and document who we are.. on the basis of pieces of paper and metals in our possession... that's the only way the "-" on our tombstone will signify who and what we were are and will be ....
Those awards who and what r they for ...It's for those whining numb nuts who think they do the world a favor doing what they do.. it's for them to look up from their lil insignificant lives at some one who actually did something with his/her life.. went out and slayed a dragon, killed a giant with a single stone .. went out to battle for his brother's beloved.. yeah it's for them...maybe they need an award too!!!

Auguries of Naïveté
Thw world of mythology is rather intriguing to say the leas. But here's the best part the commonality in all those ancient world cultures regarding the same themes. How ancient mythologies who had no means of communicating with each other, said the same stories ... How did that happen? How did the same ideal scenarios and story lines get depicted in different stories without ever raising a red flag in ancient literature plagarism... Moses was sent to be raised from a pauper to a prince... Karna born a prince was raised a pauper... Orpheus and Eurydice made a pact with the devil ... but he turned back at the last minute to lose her...anyone remember the indian counterpart.. how similar is that to savthiri?...
Any way what got me thinking on thse lines is the multimillion dollar Star Wars franchise is coming out with yet another movie... and look at Darth Vader he was the chosen one .. but the dark side has invited him over... so now we all know what is to become of him ... hummm.... wasn't this the same Dilemma MT Vasudevan Nair's Chathiyan Chandu was in... wasnt it the same moral dilemma Acchilles was in ... wasnt it the same juxtaposition Karna was in? Warriors with immense power and talent ..groomed by their elders... With lovers who cheated them ... with teachers who betrayed them, with a new propaganda that's bewitching them ..with the megalomanic in them raging to come thru... Havent we all heard these tales before... but we'll be flocking into see the revenge of sith... it wont be james earl jones we'll be hearing thru the hi-fi stereo sound systems...but u'll be there wont u luke?

Title is not the word, But is the first word that comes to mind
Ok People ... I'm back ... with a vengence this time coz man have i had a hectic week... Wow .. it was a real helluva rollercoaster ... Honest to god did some real neat stuff... Went and bought myself another couple of books and have been lost in em ever since.... Lemme list em out to those of who are interested ... Chuck Chuck Palahniuk - Survivor, Choke... This guy is just mind boggling... i couldnt put down the book it was back to back cover to cover.. and the stuff he talks about in his book ... sheer brilliance... with a spice of sarcasm, a tad bit of anti-establishmentarianism, anarchism and out right weird stuff.. [and it some how rubs off, or so i feel coz hummm i got into some pretty nasty pblms, but that's another story]... apart from that i got Gravity's Rainbow, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintanence, The Bell Jar, Hitchhiker's Guide Deluxe Edition(that's with all the six stories...)
I have had a cpl of rough days not enough sleep... too much of mundane stupid stuff going on .. and the usual load of problems and stuff.. on top of all of this i have to deal with the ongoing tribulations of others wow... what a life ..in the words of louis armstrong ... what a wonderful world ...
Cautionary word of advice to those of you who are reading this ....stop running around ... stop falling for the wrong reasons .... stand up for what is right at the right time at the right place... i'd sure wish to elucidate on the subject matter i'm referring to at hand ... but hummm, i dont get teh feeling u folks are ready yet...

Love and Living on Planet Earth
Parallel Story lines intrigue me... I'm talking abt the likes of Magnolia, Sliding Doors, Requeim For A Dream, Cube, Hypercube that kinda stuff[i'm omitting the likes of pulp fiction and kane & abel here coz it's got too much of public exposure and the real art gets buried away in hype and publicity]... when three or more characters are tackled on in an absolute chaotic and sporadic manner... but the author is totally in control of it .. yet the reader doesnt get the sense of soothing comfort that he/she is...
Well in a consentous effort to make such a lucid comment ... i'm doing a comment piece ... no i'm no roger ebert ... but it needs to be tackled...y...to address this discourse would require a whole conndrum of reasons... but for now my singular need to have it out there in your face...
human nature is fantastic... it truly is ..... the whole process of growth is irrefutably beautiful... the dilemma's we go thru... our insatiable need to rationalize our thought process is even more demanding than ou nature to have sex ... and at different times in our life we under go different kids of dilemma's... from ever since we're kids we keep asking questions...we're all the "HAGAR the Horrible WHY-Kings!"...why is the sky blue what is hot is what is cold... are the clouds made of cotton candy... as a teenager what does a kiss feel like ... Raymond Babbot would probably say Wet!! definitely wet!!! what is with the all powerful all knowing god out there... oh god ..this is rather the most intriguing ..and indecipherable question to the lone crusader...on his fight to unravel the mysteries of faith...
hold on a second any fathomable explaination is likely to lead some kinda moral or ethical standpoint that is not going to swerve in the direction of the majority ... but lemme try my hand at addressing divinity and homosexuality and going back to rekindle your inner child coz u feel there's a part of u left there that has to tended to...
the natural course of life gives us the reasoning capability to address all these and any other dilemma's that may come up... but the first answer comes from within... the quest ... dont let the urge to ask why . dont ever let it die... to rebel with or without a cuase is a part of growing up... to find those answers is what is truly the prupose of life ... and enjoy the journey .each day of it ... each waking moment...
love/hate... an emotion if were to be a quantity that had a unit of measure like any other scientific quantity ...we could probably have unlocked most of life's mysteries ... if there was a love-fission process thru which love could be made in immeasurable quantites and stored ...wouldnt it be great... well listen up ppl..it's already out there... u and i ... we are all a product of a huge love-fission reaction... and we are oozing with radio active love... channelled in the right amounts in the right directions... in the right ways ...it's an unending source of happiness...
happy/sad... an emotional by product of the love-fusion reaction which happens when ppl interact with each in true faith ...where there is no need to reciprocate the feeling with material goods...
poetry and bubbles... gurgling babies... and toothless wrinkled old ladies smiles... mountain tops ...and luscious green fields swaying in the wind...golden brown sand twirling over the copper toned deserts ..and blistering icy winds chilling entires lakes and rivers into serene icy stillness..... gorgeous sunrises and sunsets... where the sun makes love to the oceans every morning and every night...
there must be a reason famines and luxrious parties in millionaire mansions coexist on the planet... for so has the lion and the lamb.for so has the dinosaur and the cockaroach... everyone has a place and a time ...but to be able to accomodate oneself within the scheme of things ... there is a key... to be able to adapt and co-exist without losing one's sense of identity.. one's uniqueness.. the blend of nature u bring with you is unique only to you... dont lose it to be accepted .. but take from it what will sweeten u ...and discard the rest..it's the compilation of hundreds of grains of sand over long durations of time that make a pearl.... and it's your duty oh oyster to see the pearl of your heart take it's form and shape... don't be taken aback for having to be different ... for ugly ducklings meet fairy godmothers that turn them into princess' that eat little bear's puddings and party with seven dwarfs who work in the gingerbread house beside the beanstalk ...
now that your totally lost... do not be afraid to let go... u might have been caterpillars thus fur.. and the coccon and the mulberry leaves may seem like the only things u've ever known or had... but it's ok ... tommorow's a new day... saying goodbye's are a part of life ... for the ppl u really care abt never actually leave u any way.... they are with u forever... from the icky stains on t-shirts.. to scars left from fights... to dialogues from movies.. to stray radio waves that play songs from the past... the ppl u love always have a way of being with u..

A Hard Day's Night
"It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log"
Lennon & McCartney were on to something when they were penning that one down... Coz God that sums it all up ... That's what life is ...these days, the preceding lines bear no resemblence to reality though... There's no one to go home to... but then again "why on earth should I moan"...
Comments i've heard from ppl over the last cpl of days...
"You will make a great father..." [From a lady whose daughter i was helping with counting out the cash while paying for the world's tallest pencils..]
"You have the slightest clue, how great a gift you have..." [Guy friends from class, in the men's room pissing away the 6th pint of beer as i honestly expose the truth about palm reading... it's all bullshit... and the girl whose palm i was reading was into all of what i said ... she was like "that's so true ..how do u know all this abt me .. i feel like u know everything there's to know abt me.. omg! that's amazing" ... and in the mean time ..it's just the average gift of the gab..]
the time is 12:00am... i woke up at 4:30am today.. was drunk as a fish last night... made the guys skip class and just sat around enjoy what we call a beautiful spring of 1C... and tonight had a 6 hour long board meeting... now off to St. Patrick's Day PUB... to get a lil' Irish in me... Green Beer looks promising...
UMMMMMMM.... BEER!!!

Temperment Sorter Result: RATIONAL
Rationals, are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.
In working with problems, Rationals try to find solutions that have application in the real world, but they are even more interested in the abstract concepts involved, the fundamental principles or natural laws that underlie the particular case. And they are completely pragmatic about their ways and means of achieving their ends. Rationals don't care about being politically correct. They are interested in the most efficient solutions possible, and will listen to anyone who has something useful to teach them, while disregarding any authority or customary procedure that wastes time and resources.
Rationals have an insatiable hunger to accomplish their goals and will work tirelessly on any project they have set their mind to. They are rigorously logical and fiercely independent in their thinking--are indeed skeptical of all ideas, even their own--and they believe they can overcome any obstacle with their will power. Often they are seen as cold and distant, but this is really the absorbed concentration they give to whatever problem they're working on. Whether designing a skyscraper or an experiment, developing a theory or a prototype technology, building an aircraft, a corporation, or a strategic alliance, Rationals value intelligence, in themselves and others, and they pride themselves on the ingenuity they bring to their problem solving.
Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 5 to 10 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.
The Four types of Rationals are:
Architects (INTP) | Masterminds (INTJ) | Inventors (ENTP) | Field Marshals (ENTJ)

Rationals have an insatiable hunger to accomplish their goals and will work tirelessly on any project they have set their mind to. They are rigorously logical and fiercely independent in their thinking--are indeed skeptical of all ideas, even their own--and they believe they can overcome any obstacle with their will power. Often they are seen as cold and distant, but this is really the absorbed concentration they give to whatever problem they're working on. Whether designing a skyscraper or an experiment, developing a theory or a prototype technology, building an aircraft, a corporation, or a strategic alliance, Rationals value intelligence, in themselves and others, and they pride themselves on the ingenuity they bring to their problem solving.
Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 5 to 10 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.
The Four types of Rationals are:
Architects (INTP) | Masterminds (INTJ) | Inventors (ENTP) | Field Marshals (ENTJ)

45 Minutes
Yes folks that's the number of the day.... Why is it the number of the day... On two separate occasions today i spent myself conversing on the telephone with two elegant conversationalists... for a duration of you guessed it .........45 minutes...each i may add.. hummm... awkward silences ..no... just fluid lucid elaborate conversations... god... if only i knew certain things abt life ..predisposition of certain aspects of life would be a truly divine act of grace on the creator's behalf... to be able to access some cellestial data farm to browse thru the elaborate mechanism involved in shaping up who and what we are ...where we are headed what we are to become...if we could hitchhike in to that elaborate little data house on prarie.. to find out that elusive "42" somewhere within us we might quench that thirst, and we might extinguish the whole butterfly effect that would result in what may have become ...but it would be worth it right..
how long would we spend there? on the edge... perusing thru the discourse... living our life all over again or would we live it with mods... change a ringtone[friend] or a skin[looks] perhaps..a screensaver[sibling] ...what would we do given that source code ...would we fix the bugs... all of the bugs... john, paul,george and ringo..all of em... would we destroy em all... but arent they the very bugs who made us who we are ... would u split them apart and see how different our lives would be if they werent together... would they run around helter skelter... and would we be the catcher in the rye ... how long would we spend there....
45 minutes perhaps?
