I swear you’d be surprised if you knew how much of my day I spend thinking about ninjas. Every time I have to make a decision or have a problem I think “Now, what would a ninja do?”. It’s come to the point where I am having trouble getting anything done as I spend my entire day being somewhere else.
And as you know I have been doing a lot of research on this subject and I have really found a lot of hilarious things.. If you come by something ninja-related please let me know as all things ninja are the only thing that makes me truly happy at the moment.

Studying personality theories is a bitch. There are too many and they are all conflicting if not diametrically opposed. As an example we have B.F. Skinner who believes what we are formed only by our environment and George Herbert Mead who argues we become who we are through the meaning that we put into our actions. To Erving Goffman our personality is merely a series of roles we choose to present to the world, whereas Raymon Cattell believes there is a stable core to our personality.
I could go on*, but I guess you get the picture.

This is why I bring to you a personality theory that is comprehensible even to normal people: The pirate-ninja theory. A theory which is based on these three propositions:

# You can have a pirate-personality or a ninja-personality.
# Your mental health relies solely on the fact that you know what you are
# and whether or not you accept this as the platform on which you can build your life.

The pirate personality: Pirates are bombastic, strong and slightly off-colour. They love life and they are very passionate about what they do. They are proud, they are loud and they are not discrete. They are very sociable and it’s important for them to be around others.

The ninja personality: A ninja is silent and stealthy, but very powerful. Much unlike pirates ninjas are elegant and contained; they are spiritual beings. Ninjas are very skilled and proficient, and they must work hard and be focused to excel. Ninjas are not social beings, but prefer to work alone or with people they truly trust.

In my humble opinion this personality theory is awesome due to two things, 1) that it’s very easy to over-look and 2) that it doesn’t judge your values, but simply states that people aren’t the same – not that some are better than others.

So now, let me have it. What are you? A ninja or a pirate? Or is this theory just stupid? (No, I didn’t think so) ..Do you have any other characteristics that suits the pirate or the ninja? Or do you have a third type of person that I haven’t thought of (no you don’t, right? This theory is absolute..)

Hopefully you’re not asking which side I am on..

Ninja suit
Traditional ninja suit in really nice quality with a jacket with hidden pockets (!) and extra strengthening on elbows and shoulders.
The pants have laces by the calf and strengthening on the knees.
Furthermore you get hand protection, inner mask, outer mask and a belt for equipment and the shurik.
Tabi (shoes) not included.
Available in size 160-200 cm

I couldn’t make this shit up . They also sell different kinds of weapons. Not shuriks (throwing star) though (illegal in DK I think), but they have some in rubber for practise.
Now I just wanna know who buys shit like this. And even more important: How do I reach them? And do they need one more member of their ninja army?
