So, on what pretty much boils down to a dare, I took a little personality test today. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, to be specific. It was just 70 questions where I picked one of two possible choices, and then tallied them up. It then put me into one of sixteen different categories. Apparently, I fall into the “Healer/Idealist” category. At first, I thought it was telling me what kind of character I should play in World of Warcraft, but as it turns out, the truth is far less practical.
Basically, it told me that I am a quiet, caring person, who holds his friends and loved ones in high esteem, and whose main concern is the well-being of others. I’m (apparently) very creative and imaginative and while I may come off as shy to some, it’s just my ungrounded mind and inconfident nature coming to the surface. Oh yeah, and I’m not going to amount to jack squat.
Pretty much all of the other personality types have descriptions accompanying them that sound something like, “strong leader,” “can accomplish anything they put their mind to,” and “ultimate conquerer of all the free world and beyond.” While mine was dotted with such comforting phrases as “they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice,” and “the Healer is the prince or princess of a fairytale.” YES!! Sure, I’m all but doomed to destitution, and my life will look like that of an especially conflicted emo kid, but at least I’ll have my princely (or princessly) kingdom to keep me company at night. That is, until I realize that my “kingdom” is just an old shoe box and all its inhabitants the dead spirits of my childhood.
Yeah… I’ll not be the best dinner guest for a few days following that little incident.

I was debating whether or not to actually write a “launch” post. Obviously, I decided to go ahead and do it. So, yeah. Here it is. The blog is the only part of Cabeeb that is actually in somewhat a complete state. Though, I’m sure I’ll be making changes to it for the next few days and beyond. The music, photos, and contact pages (plus any others that I decide to add) will hopefully not be too far behind. I hope to have the music page, in particular, up before much longer.
But, yeah. I’ll be making somewhat regular posts from here on out. Everything from the pointless and irrelevant (Light) to the deep and complex (Heavy). Though, I expect that the former will far outnumber the latter. Comments are always welcomed and appreciated. I will try to frequent the blogs of those who frequent mine, but again… no promises.
Welcome to the first day of the rest of my life.

I’m so broke right now, I actually had to borrow money from my sister to buy a packet of Ramen.
Yes, I am that pathetic.

After months and months of deliberation and procrastination, I believe Cabeeb is about to leave the state of “in-process & worthless” to “moderately functional” very soon. At which point, I will actually start directing people this way and making somewhat regular posts.
Seeing as how Josiah and Meagan are the only people who have commented thus far, I think it is safe to say that I am pretty much writing to myself here, since I will probably delete this (and all other posts) when I officially “launch” the site, which will hopefully be within the next week.
This is truly The Final Countdown.
