New York City, as described by E.B. White

I adore this description of New York City by E.B. White. It seems as true today as it was 60 years ago.

from "Here is New York"(1948)
by E. B. White
There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York’s high strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh yes of an adventurer, each generates
heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company. . . .

What color are you?

I found this fun 'Color' Career Test on CareerPath.com. All you have to do is answer a series of questions about your color preferences, and it gives you a list of occupations and attributes. I have to admit, I was skeptical about this, but the results seem to be in line with not only how I view myself, but also with the results of more traditional language based career tests that I have taken. Does it work for you?
