Who Am I?
Although I use both the left and right side of my brain depending on the
thought process necessary, I am most comfortable while using the right side of my brain. That means that I have more spontaneity, expression, nurturing, social
and interpersonal activity, imagination and creativity, artistry, holistic, abstract
and conceptual thinking.
However, sometimes I need more structure, control, clarity, focus,
direction, responsibility, organization, planning, mathematical and analytical
skills, listening skills, rational and logical thinking.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
