So I took the Jung Typology Test for fun, and these are my results.

ENTJ:

moderately expressed extrovert (33%)
slightly expressed thinking personality (1%)
slightly expressed intuitive personality (12%)
moderately expressed judging personality (33%)

Based on the study by David Kiersey, ENTJ are referred to as the “Fieldmarshals,” one of the 4 types in the “Rational” temperament. Fieldmarshals make up about 2% of the world’s population and in general are abstract, pragmatic, directive, and expressive.

Some notable Fieldmarshals (based on expert opinion, not actually tested) are Napoleon Bonaparte, Hilary Clinton, and Bill Gates.

The First Avenger

Captain America

I had high expectations for this film, and it still surpassed them all. For me, this is definitely the best movie of the summer and Chris Evans does an amazing job representing the “little guys” getting their chance to shine. This movie is full of action and humor and one can’t help but admire little Steve Rogers trying so hard to help. Also, as an intro movie, I think it’s safe to say that it tops Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor. Can’t wait for Avengers MAY 2012!! 10/10

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Overall, the final Harry Potter film was pretty epic. Like millions of other fans around the world, I’m sad that the series is over, although I don’t think I’ll be role-playing in those hardcore fan bases. Personally, I was waiting for a few small details to happen (for example I believe that Harry uses the Elder Wand to repair his own broken wand) and I think the epilogue is a tad cheesy, but the rest of the film definitely makes up for it. Looking back now, it amazes me how much some of the cast has grown up through the decade of Harry Potter movies. Especially Neveille! 8/10

On another note, in a year’s time fans will finally be able to do their 20 hour Harry Potter Movie Marathon

Biology, evolution, wars, history, heroes, government, or James McAvoy?

If yes, then you have to see X-Men: First Class

I don’t even know how to properly describe this film. Simply put, it was amazing. The actors, the plot, the special effects—everything. This movie is full of action and drama and is definitely a must-see. As the best x-men film yet, it gets a 10/10

Juno

So I re-watched this movie recently with some friends. It’s very different from other films. It features a lot of fun jargon and very colorful characters, not to mention a great indie soundtrack! Juno’s a great laid-back comedy full of bloated bellies and short shorts. You should definitely check it out if you haven’t already. 7/10

So I recently found out that one of my favorite bands Yellowcard made another album! This one is titled “When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes.”

Like their previous albums, the songs revolve around the themes of life and love, but also a lot about moving on and starting anew. My only complaint? This long-title album is too short (only 38 minutes, 40 with the bonus song).

This is the 11th track “Promises” available only as an iTunes bonus.

Electronica music is almost always associated with the use of some electronic device to alter sounds and resonances. Sub genres of electronica have further associations such as acid, which is recognized by near-constant repetitions, or trance, which is always backed by a strong beat.

Rarely, however, is electronica music associated with a solo acoustic instrument. Ewan Dobson, however, breaks the mold and finds a way to place trance music on his guitar. Here is “Time 2” by Ewan Dobson. 7/10.
