Palm Reading - The Phalanges

My family and I are repainting the house. Something for the new years resolution plus we are expecting new room-mates. Since the economy ain't well right now, we thought it would be a smart advantage to get one of the rooms rented out. All painted out with new curtains and everything.

While doing all these arranging around the house, I stumble upon some books in the storage house. Books I bought when I was taking few several art classes back in the 90's (actually thinking of taking some more art classes later - maybe even protools class). Since I only have 10 vinyl records as a collection with 4 crates, I'm using books to fill in the crate's empty space for the meantime. But then somehow I am having second thoughts - perhaps I'll settle with them books rather than LPs. Since my plan was to use vinyl records to capture samples and adding it to my music tracks. Most of them books are Arts, Graphics, and Illustrations. There are few other books like Gourmet Books and some hardcore instructional books I rather not write about - actually maybe I will. If it's Novels, most likely it is Graphic Novels. Not just books and vinyl records but 3 sketchbooks as well. There is this one book I thought would be interesting for me to share with you and it's about Palm Reading. For now, the phalanges are what my topic is about.

THE THUMB

The thumb has only two phalange the top and the bottom. It's seems to me that I have three phalanges on my thumb or perhaps is just a line - I ain't sure what in the hell that means yet but I'll try to find out.

When the thumb's bottom phalange is high and firm: You don't like others to hold you back. You're attracted to strong-willed people, confident go-getters. You are persistent, active, energetic, highly sensual. You work best alone, or when in command. You respond quickly to competition. You don't do well under restrictions because you like to make your own rules. You do what is asked and would thrive where you can be a teacher or leader.

Your a generous, with a zest of life, and recover quickly and easily from illness, You're a rugged individual with an innate sense of drama. You enjoy personal attention, you're well informed, and people seek out your conversation. Because you like people and you have a talent for dealing with them, you might try a career in education, communications, or management.

When the bottom phalenge is weak or flabby: You like being pampered. If you had it your way you probably wouldn't work at all! You prefer the "good life" and withdraw when the going gets rough. You probably have the talent for many things, but you need to "toughen up" in the real, workaday world. Competition frightens or
depresses you.

Mental stimulation comes from within your emotional core. You are inclined to think a great deal about ways to make yourself secure. Your cautious and meticulous nature enables you to excel at tasks that require attention to precision and detail. You get your kicks from being able to help others. Be careful not to neglect your own needs when others come looking for handouts or sympathy.

When the thumb's top and bottom phalange are equal length: You make decisions patiently and carefully, moderate in everything you do. You don't jump to conclusions, and you enjoy talking with others to find out what's on their mind. A natural diplomat, you discuss matters openly with coworkers and friends. You're not a "controller" and are tolerant of others' shortcomings. Jobs that allow some degree of authority and mobility suit you. You are good at planning and organizing. When others would explode or lose their temper, you keep your feeling under wraps.

When the bottom phalange is longest: You don't mind working on your own provided it is on your terms. You're not comfortable dealing with unconventional or super-emotional people. You like having the final word but don't work well under pressure. You are well suited for jobs in which you use your mind and apply it directly to solve problems, such as technical occupations like science or mathematics.

When the top phalange is long and dominant: This suggest determination and a strong ego - your way! It's easy for you to break old habits and try new approaches. Routine bores you. It's not easy for you to follow someone else's orders unless it's someone you respect. Others may consider you obstinate because of your deep need to experience as much of life as possible. You enjoy being in the driver's seat - it's where you belong!

When the thumb has a noticeable waist: Tapering between the lower knuckle and the fleshy part of the palm reveals that you have boundless curiosity and a desire for self-improvement and to expand your horizons. You seek to rise above the monotony of daily life but are easily distracted, so you must discipline yourself to stay on course.

You have talent for dealing with small groups and inspiring them to achieve excellence.

As I copied these from the book, I notice them to be all the same - specially having all bottom phalange as fleshy. Some part may be accurate for some people - I just think this is pretty interesting to know about.
