Plinky.com asked me if I'm an optimist, pessimist or what?
Simply, I'm a human being. There are things about which I'm optimistic
[that it's possible to live a happy, fulfilled and connected life]things about which I'm pessimistic
[that government of any flavour will do what's right for people at the expense of their own personal vested interest]things about which I'm fatalistic
[I and everyone I love will die at some point]things about which I'm realistic
[there will always be bills to pay, and dreams alone don't pay 'em]things about which I'm narcissistic
[I have pretty nice earlobes]things about which I'm chauvinistic
[and if you don't believe you are http://implicit.harvard.edu ]So, on balance, I'll say I'm humanistic – I take my reality as the perception I'm choosing and, as I have the love of family and friends, and I'm now ironing out the long-standing kinks in my back and leg, things couldn't be better :o)
