Ox? What?

So I was catching up on blog reading (to avoid painting...) and ran across one of Cindy's posts that mentioned the Chinese Zodiac.

Of course I had to go look mine up...evidently...i'm an Ox.  Yep, I would say that's fairly accurate. Hmmm...

Born leaders, Ox people inspire confidence from all those around them. They are conservative, methodical, and good with their hands. However, they can be at times chauvinistic and demanding. In fact, the strength of an Ox person comes out in great shows of deternination, obstinance, and defense for what they believe in. Although they enjoy their private life and doing things on their own, Oxen are strong, dutiful and reliable. They construct firm bonds with their home and family, and while not the most romantic of the animals, Oxen make affectionate, faithful partners and lovers.

Honest, Loyal, Popular, Sincere, Steadfast, Reliable ----------------- Stubborn, Impatient, Inflexible, Narrow-Minded, Sulking

The following occupations best suit the Ox personality. PAINTER ¤ MECHANIC ¤ ARCHITECT ¤ FARMER ¤ ARMY OFFICER ¤ BANKER ¤ REAL ESTATE AGENT ¤ ARCHEOLOGIST ¤ MANAGER ¤ ENGINEER No one with an Ox personality is afraid of hard work. Some notable Oxen include Napolean, Vincent Van Gogh, Walt Disney and Richard Nixon.
