Question 66

 Do you feel that advice from older people carries a special weight because of their greater experience?

Yes!  Their years of knowledge give them an edge that younger generations don't necessarily have.  Now that's to be taken with a grain of salt because yes their advice is certainly more valuable but you as the taker have to know how to apply it to the current place and time that you are in.  If you can't do that then of course it's going to seem misguided. Knowledge is great, but wisdom is priceless.

Question 65

 When you tell a story, do you often exaggerate or embellish it? If so, why?

No I don't, I'm actually really bad at telling stories, I get too caught up in detail that I forget my point and when I'm not doing that my stories are awkwardly short.  That's why I like writing, I get to re-read everything and organize and consolidate my thoughts, it just works out better.

Question 64

You and a person you love deeply are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. You know that you will both be killed unless one of you presses your button before 60 minutes pass; furthermore, the first to press the button will save the other person, but will immediately be killed. What do you think you would do?

I'd press the button first, get it over with, there's no way I'd be able to live with myself if I didn't do everything I could to save the other, and I wouldn't know when or if they would press it, so as fast as possible is best. I'd be killed immediately so at least it wouldn't be a slow drawn out death, I could come to terms with that.

Question 63

Assume there were a technological breakthrough that would allow people to travel as easily and cheaply between continents as between nearby cities. Unfortunately, There would also be 100,000 deaths a year from the device. Would you try to prevent its use?

Ok so in looking at other modes of transportation, and this is info from 2009:  Total highway related deaths came to 33,808.  Of course safer would be traveling by plane which resulted in only 543 deaths that year. So I don't think I could stop anyone from trying this as much as I could stop a person from getting behind the wheel of a car. It's a person's right to choose how they risk their lives and as long as they aren't hurting anyone else along the way I don't see a problem with it.  I just don't think I'd want to try it, and I really like flying so I don't think I'll be giving that up anytime soon.

You can find the statistics I used at the following HTML:

Question 62

If you walked out of your house one morning and saw a bird with a broken wing huddled in some nearby bushes, what would you do?

Awww man, this is going to make me sound awful. I really don't like birds, truthfully I would be thinking, " Yes!! One less bird to shit on my car!"  Now if it were a dog, that would be a completely different story.

Question 61

Can you urinate in from of another person?

Sober no. Get me drunk and that can change pretty quick, though it would still probably be only in front of a girl.

Question 60

Would you add one year to your life if it meant taking one year from the life of someone in the world selected at random? Would it matter if you were told whose life you had shortened?

Uh no. Just wouldn't. My life is fine, whatever length it is.

Question 59

By controlling medical research funds, you are in the position to guarantee that a cure will be found in 15 years for any disease you choose. Unfortunately, no progress on any others would be made during that period. Would you target one disease?

This is an aweful question... if that were the case I couldn't very well just target one. I'd probably have a list, top of it would be cancer, that one's a bit close to home so it would be first. The rest would be based on whatever affects humans most.

Question 58

A good friend pulls off a wel-conceived practival joke that plays on one of your foibles and makes you look ridiculous. How would you react?

Well first of all I had to look up what "foibles" meant...second of all, do what I always do in uncomfortable situations. Laugh!!

Question 57

Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now?

Willing...yes, able to...probably not.  I would also have to give up alcohol, that's when I'm at my weakest. *~* I'd probably also have to just stay away from men period, that would solve the problem. haha.

Question 56

If found that a good friend had AIDS, would you avoid him? What if your brother or sister had it?

No I wouldn't avoid them; I'm not ignorant enough to think that AIDS is an airborne contagion.  Brother, sister, good friend, wouldn't matter to me. I know how the disease is contracted and as long as I stay away from any of those intrusive actions, I'd be fine.

Question 55

Would you like your spouse to be both smarter and more attractive than you?

Probably not. No justification, just no.

Question 54

What is the worst psychological torture you can imagine suffering? Anything causing even minor physical injury should not be considered.

Anything to do with making me lose my grasp on reality. Injecting me with LSD or any other hallucinogens then showing images of my biggest fears. That would be the worst thing I can imagine without adding physical pain to the equation.

Question 53

How do you react when people sing "Happy Birthday" to you in a restaurant?

It's a mix of happy, self conscious and embarrassed.

Question 52

For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

I'm grateful for the good friends I have been fortunate enough to surround myself with. I realize that there are many kinds of people in the world, not all of which are people that you can really trust. I lucked out that my two closest friends are people I could trust with my life and that follow through every single time.

Question 51

Do you have any specific long-term goals? What is one and how do you plan on reaching it?

Long-term goals? Well there are a few, lets go with the least involved because I don't want to sit here and rant for an hour with my more complicated ones.  I really want to run a full marathon. I just need to make myself get into the habit of training. 

Question 50

If you could choose the manner of your death, what would it be?

In my sleep. Short and simple.

Question 49

While parking late at night, you slightly scrape the side of a Porsche. You are certain no one else is aware of what happened. The damage is minor and would not be covered by insurance. Would you leave a note?

I said I'd be honest, and no I would not leave a note. If someone can afford to buy a Porsche and doesn't have it in a garage or parks it in an area that isn't protected than they can afford to fix the damage, and if they can't then why did this guy buy a Porsche. I think things happen for a reason, for all I know karma was just carried out for this guy because they were jerks to someone else.  That's my defense and I'm sticking to it.

Question 48

Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as your dinner guest? as your close friend? as your lover?

Hmmm, dinner guest, now I'm digging in the past here, it says who would I want not necessarily that they have to be alive today.  Haha. I'd probably want Walt Disney, I can't imagine a dinner with him being boring at all.  As a close friend, I would love to be close with Emma Stone, love her! She's so quirky and funny, I totally mesh with people like that. As a lover, well that's a bit harder. I'm a sucker for goofy humor, I just think it's endearing. I think I'm going to go with Adam Sandler on this one, he may not be to strong on the looks but he'd make me laugh.

Question 47

You have the power to go any distance into the future and, after one year, return to the present with any knowledge you have gained from your experience but with no physical objects. Would you make the journey if it carrried a 50 percent risk of death?

Definitely, how could I pass that up?  There are things that I wouldn't risk but this is an adventure of a lifetime, I'd have no choice but to say yes.

Question 46

When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

Well Karaoke nights are always a favorite of mine, yes I do need a couple of drinks before I get enough courage to go up and sing but last Thursday was a fine night of singing the perpetually man hating song by Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats". Good time, good times.

Question 45

Someone very close to you is in pain, paralyzed, and will die within a month. He begs you to give him poison so that he can die. Would you? What if it were your father?

I'd absolutely detest myself after but I would give him the poison.  I think it would be selfish to keep him to live one more month in pain just so that I could put off saying goodbye. 

Question 44

You are offered $1,000,000 for the following act: Before you are ten pistols- only one of which is loaded. You must pick up one of the pistols, point it at your forehead, and pull the trigger. If you can walk away you do so a millionaire. Would you accept the risk?

No, I'm sure I could think of another way to make a million dollars, one that involves me being alive.  I know it's a 90% chance I'd get the million but I'm really not lucky when it comes to gambling, I don't think my luck would change much with this situation either. So thanks, but no thanks.

Question 43

When were you last in a fight? What caused it and who won?

 Well I got into a fight with my significant other, mind you it was verbal, I don't think anyone truly wins those fights.  I believe myself to be pretty eloquent with words so any verbal spat wouldn't really phase me but as I said a situation such as this wouldn't benefit anyone.  Physical fights, luckily I haven't been put in a situation where I would need to defend myself in that manner.  Though I guess that's where that kickboxing training would come in handy.

Question 42

How would you react if you were to learn that your mate had had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other?

I think I'd be more curious than anything else.  I'd want to know more about their decision, I don't think I'd worry about anything else because of the fact that this person would have chosen to be with me.

Question 41

Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire; after saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?

I would go back in for our old family videos; those suckers have a lot of history that's irreplaceable. I know the question says one item but we keep the family photos right by these videos so I'd probably grab those too.

Question 40

If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it?

Aggghhh!!! Where's my morality?  Truth be told it really depends on how much I love this person.  Not all marriages are based on love so this would be circumstantial. If it were for different reasons than love that I'd be marrying this person, you bet I'd back out, but if it they were the sun that started my day I wouldn't have any other choice than to stay by their side.

Question 39

Do your close friends tend to be older or younger than you?

My closest friends are all about my age with a difference of a few months, but as far as friends that I hang around with occasionally, all of them are older than me.

Question 38

If you went to a dinner party and were offered a dish you had never tried, would you want to taste it even if it sounded strange and not very appealing?

One of my mottos is "don't down till you try it", I will always try a food at least once because truth be told smells can be deceiving.  If you just go by the look or the smell of something you might just miss out on a truly delectable dish.

Question 37

What was your best experience with drugs or alcohol?

I'd have to say my best experience with alcohol (because I don't mess around with drugs, taken one too many psychology courses to put the fear of God into me to steer clear of that) definitely in Vegas.  It was in 2009, my best friend had just turned 21 and we went from club to club and bar to bar, meeting different people, making new friends, etc.  I think it was the best because I had a consistent buzz all night rather than getting blasted and I guess it's true when they say that it's the memories you keep that matter, haha.

Question 36

If you knew you could devote yourself to any single occupation- music, writing, acting, business, politics, medicine, etc. - and be among the best and most successful in the world at it, what would you choose? If you knew you had only a 10 percent chance of being so successful, would you still put in the effort?

If I would be among the best, I would chose medicine, being able to save people's lives would be something worthwhile for me, and people deserve to have their lives handled by someone competent.  Now if I only had a 10 percent chance then I wouldn't make people suffer for my short comings.  At that rate I'd probably go with one of my passions, I love art, I love drawing and painting.  With those odds I would chose art.

Question 35

Would you give up half of what you now own for a pill that would permanently change you so that one hour of sleep each day would fully refresh you?

Alright so I would totally do this right now, main reason is I don't own very much so this would be a pretty easy decision, now ask me again in ten years when I have a family and mortgage and my answer would more than likely be no.  Well fate so has it that the question is being asked now, so my answer is yes.  I can't even imagine how much more I could get done with the extra time. I would love it if I wasn't tired trying to accomplish these things.

Question 34

What was your most enjoyable dream? Your worst nightmare?

 Wow getting personal aren't we?  Haha.  My most enjoyable dream...hmmm...I usually don't remember a lot of my dreams, so I don't know if this was my most enjoyable but it was fun.  I was with a certain gentleman that will remain unnamed, and we were being chased by a group of people from a secret society that thought we had information that I didn't know we did.  The entire dream was like a Dan Brown book, it was scary, suspenseful, playfully romantic, and then it ended.  I was really sad after that one, I tried falling back to sleep but it didn't work.  Haven't dreamt of anything like that since or at least not that I remember. *sigh*  Now worst nightmare, I can count how many I've had (4) and I remember each one just as clearly. I'll give the summarized version, in every single one of those dreams I've lost everyone that I hold dear to my heart and I've always woken up crying.  Certainly not fun dreams but they do help put things into perspective.

Question 33

What is the greatest accomplishment of your life? Is there anything you hope to do that is even better?

It probably won't be the greatest accomplishment of my life but it's one of the greatest so far.  This past January I said "To hell with fear" and went sky diving.  Jumped from 12,500 ft at Lake Perris. It was definitely one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life and I'm  planning on doing it again but next time from 18,000 ft in Santa Barbara.

Question 32

Would you accept twenty years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you would die at the end of the period?

 Ooof! I do want my life to mean something in this world or at least for me to feel like I did something worth doing. I'm going to go with yes, I'd rather have 20 years of extraordinary than 60 years of mundane.

Question 31

If you Knew there would be a nuclear war in one week, what would you do?

START DIGGING!!!! haha.   Well I guess I'd try to get the ones I loved and go to the mountains, get into as deep a cave as we could and wait it out. If there's any chance of surviving I guess that would be our best bet.  It would probably be a nuclear wasteland after but can't argue with your most basic human instinct. Survive.

Question 30

Would you rather be given $10,000 for your own use or $100,000 to give anonymously to strangers? What if you could keep $1,000,000 or Give away $20,000,000?

For the first question I would rather give away $100,000 because to be honest there really isn't much long lasting good that I could do with $10,000.   As for the second, keeping the $1,000,000, I'm pretty sure greed would win out on that one, there are so many things that I could do with that amount to make it grow and take care of the ones I loved with it.  Sorry, I'm only human.

Question 29

Have you ever hated anyone? If so, why and for how long?

I do hate someone; I hate this person because for the last nine years this person has caused nothing but pain and dissension for my family.  This isn't something I think I can easily forgive especially as it is still ongoing. 

Question 28

What is your most treasured memory?

Well I don't know if it's my most cherished but it's the only one of its kind that I have.  I have one memory of my mother, my father, and myself, just the three of us.  I didn't grow up with either of them so it's happy and sad in a weird way.  I was 12-years-old and had gone to work with my Dad in Los Angeles and my mother worked maybe 10 minutes from him, so my father and I decided we'd call her and meet for lunch.  We went to a Carl's Jr. and I don't remember the exact location, but I still remember exactly what I ate ( a spicy chicken sandwich), I also remember sitting across from both of them (they actually sat next to each other) and I remember thinking "Is this what it feels like? To have your mom and dad together?"  Like I said not necessarily a happy memory but an important one to me.

Question 27

If God appeared to you in a series of vivid and moving dreams and told you to leave everything behind, travel alone to the Red Sea and become a fisherman, what would you do? What if you were told to sacrifice your child?

Um I wouldn't do it, I have some pretty vivid dreams to begin with so I'd probably pass it off as one of those.  Now if he appeared to me and proved he was God then maybe I would.  As far as being able to sacrifice my child, NOPE! Wouldn't do it no matter what, I'd burn a million times over before I did that.

Question 26

Would you be willing to murder an innocent person if it would end hunger in the world?

When making a hard decision I try to picture what it would be like from both sides depending on what I chose, putting the shoe on the other foot so-to-speak.  As great as it would be to end world hunger, there's no way I'd murder an innocent person to get there.  We as human beings have the ability to end it ourselves we just don't want or are not willing to.  That innocent person would be somebody's mother or father, sister or brother, son or daughter, I would not want to be subjected to that pain nor would I subject anyone else.

Question 25

For an all-expense-paid, one week vacation anywhere in the world, would you be willing to kill a beautiful butterfly by pulling off its wings? What about stepping on a cockroach?

Ok so I'm going to answer the second portion first because I would definitely, without hesitation, be willing to kill a cockroach to have an all-expense-paid vacation anywhere I wanted. I think it would be crazy not to, so now I'm asking myself why do I feel a twinge of regret for thinking that it's ok to do the same to a butterfly?  I don't know if I could pull off a butterfly's wings, see with the cockroach it would be stomping it with my foot, wouldn't really have to touch it. Though the butterfly, I would have to grasp its body in one hand and pull its wings with the other. *shudder* I don't think I could do it, at least not just for myself.  It would have to be for my family that I would do it.  So in conclusion, for me no, for my family yes.  Maybe it would be different if I were a boy.  Hmmmmm.

Question 24

Are there people you envy enough to want to trade lives with them? Who are they?

Nope and Nope.  I think envy is a useless waste of time, I understand that at one point or another everyone including myself feels envy, but what I do after I feel it is start thinking of a way to attain what I'm envious of or write it off as something I don't really need. Simple as that, I would never want to be anybody else, I'm truly happy being me.

Question 23

While on a trip to another city, your spouse (or lover) meets and spends a night with an exciting stranger. Given they will never meet again, and that you will not learn otherwise of the incident, would you want your partner to tell you about it?

Eesh!! This is another tough one, because on the one hand if he tells me it would completely shatter any trust between us and on the other hand I do believe in second chances and if it would only ever be the one time I'm not sure I'd want to know. Correction I wouldn't want to know if it were just the one time.  Now if it were something that was going to recur, not necessarily with that person but with others, then yes I would want to know.  I can understand a mistake, but the way I live my life, if I make a mistake I only make it once.

Question 22

If you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would you?

Alright, the little angel on my right shoulder is telling me no and the little devil on my left is telling me yes. I'm gonna have to go with my left this time. Of course it wouldn't be to cause irreparable damage, but really, hasn't there been a time that you've experienced where whoever it was just really had it coming? I sure have. Just a small sharp pain, like a pinch to the back of the arm, that quick, that effective, and of course only when they REALLY deserved it.

Questions 21

Do you prefer being around men or women? Do your closest friends tend to be men or women?

Well my closest friends are women. So I guess I would prefer being around women.

Question 20

If you knew of a way to use your estate, following your death, to greatly benefit humanity, would you do it and leave only a minimal amount to your family?

Always for the greater good?!! Ugh! Ummm can I be selfish on this one? I think I would donate a certain amount to charity but I want my family to be taken care of.

Question 19

You have the chance to meet someone with whom you can have the most satisfying love imaginable- the stuff of dreams. Sadly, you know that in six months the person will die. Knowing the pain that would follow, would you still want to meet the person and fall in love?

Well that's just depressing. I know the saying goes, "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all", but I don't know, that seems like an awful lot of heartache for six months. I'd like to thing that I believe in a certain amount of fate, or at least there are signs out there helping guide you down the road of life. Of course with free will you're able to choose to ignore those signs but I believe they're there nonetheless. More than likely I would go for it. I must be a masochist but if that's what I'm meant to do than I think there's a reason for it, regardless of whether or not I can see it now or not.

Question18

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability or quality, what would it be?

Aww only one?! Haha, oh I'm going to have fun with this one. Ok I don't care if it sounds completely selfish, because I know with this answer I could cure world hunger but we'll save that for later down the line. I would be totally stoked if I had telekinesis, that's right people I want to move things with my mind. It was between that and mind control. I don't know the whole "these are not to droids you are looking for" bit doesn’t seem as cool as lifting a fighter ship out of a swamp. All of the Star Wars fans will get that reference. So Jean Grey… let’s do this. I'm a real nerd by the way. Hahaha.
.

Question 17

Would you be willing to become extremely ugly physically if it meant you would live for 1,000 years at any physical age you chose?

I really don't want to live for a thousand years. It really seems depressing. Losing people you love over that long period of time, I wouldn't want to be the last one left of everyone I knew. Ok great you get to see all the new things that would happen in that time, but the way I see it, things aren't really getting better, society wise. I wouldn't be able to handle that. The thing that makes life worth living are the people and things you love in that life. As Morrie Schwartz said, "Love wins. Love always wins” and I will always try to live by that.

Question 16

If at birth you could select the profession your child would eventually pursue, would you do so?

Well this, in my opinion, is WAY too controlling.  As tempting as it would be to secure a future for my child, I feel like I'd be stealing something from them.  Everyone should have the option to make the decisions that will affect their futures, that's what builds character, and there's no planning that.

Question 15

Whom do you admire most?  In what way does that person inspire you?

I admire my grandfather. Yes there are so many big names that changed the world out there but he has helped shape mine and that obviously has had the most impact on me.  I admire his integrity and his dedication to everything he does.  He doesn't, as he puts it, "Mickey Mouse" anything.  Meaning he'll never do anything half heartedly.  He and I don't agree on everything but I do strive to be the type of person he is.  Hopefully someday I'll be able to seem just as sure as always does.

Question 14

Would you rather be extremely successful professionally and have a tolerabel yet unexciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life?

Definitely have to go with the happy private life.  I mean yeah, it would be great to have amazing success in business but I place more value on family.  At least that's what I interpret "private life" to mean.  I think that the greatest success should be your family,  now if you don't plan on starting one then I totally get the whole business before personal view, but I do want one and they're happiness will always come first.

Question 13

What would constitute a "perfect" evening for you?

Wow, I'm not gonna lie this is a pretty lame question.  I promised I would answer all of them though.  Ok well prefect evening... By myself to be honest, alone without anyone to bother me. I'll do what I want in whatever time I'd like and truthfully that could be anything so I don't really know how to narrow it down.  Lame question followed by an even lamer answer.  Ah well.

Question 12

If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the body or the mind of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

I would go with the brain of a 30-year-old.  I'm sure that having the dexterity of a 30-year-old would be amazing, especially if you're 90, but what good is that if you can't even remember where you are?  The thought of aging is a little scary but the thought of losing who I am is by far scarier still.

Question 11

You are given the power to kill people simply by thinking of their deaths and twice repeating the word "Good-bye."  People would die a natural death and no one would suspect you. Are there any situations in which you would use this power?

Wow, ok well you see there are times in traffic when I .... just kidding.  Hmm well I'm a firm believer with the motto of  "with great power, comes great responsibility", in this case it's probably one of the most menacing powers you could ever come across.  It would honestly have to be in a situation where no other alternative was possible and where allowing this person to live would do much more damage than killing them would.    As spiritual as it may seem, in my mind to take a life is to give up a bit of your humanity, a bit of your soul.  That's not something I would give up easily and without thorough consideration. 

Question 10

Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex?

Hmm, depends on what it's in reference to.  Free things like drinks, club entrances, getting out of a speeding ticket, ok fine yes it's easier to be a woman.  I just don't see how that's anything really great. It really all depends on what you hold more important I guess.  For instance when a women makes a mistake driving, it's attributed to the fact that she is a woman and if you're a good driver then it's "You drive pretty good for a chic" UGH!! Sorry that's just irritating to me, of course there are a lot more major issues than driving.  The work place unfortunately is still a breeding ground for sexism.  Of course you have your women in leading roles in today's industries but how much harder did they have to work than the men in those same positions to get there?  So yes each sex has their pros and cons, but in the subjects that matter most to me I feel like men have it easier.  Women having better lives, maybe, but easier no.
Oh yeah and only when I was little did I want to be a boy, and it was mainly because all of my friends were boys and I hated being teased for being a girl. The only up side to that at the time was that I was about a good six inches taller and faster than them, which I guess looking at it now was one of the reasons they teased me, but of course that didn't last.

Question 9

Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave the country and never set foot in it again?

Nope. Never. Wouldn't have to consider it for a second.  We definitely have our flaws but I love this country too much.

Question 8

Would you rather be a member of a world championship sports team or be the champion of an individual sport? Which sport would you choose?

I've played sports all my life and most have been team sports, I would think that being a single competitor would be a bit lonesome.  I know that having teammates is what pushes me to be better and nothing I've come across can compare to that feeling of camaraderie that is present when you trust a set group of people to do their job and everything clicks.  So definitely would want to be part of a championship sports team.  More than likely it would be soccer.

Question 7

Do you think that the world will be a better or worse place 100 years from now?

Eeesh, I'll say this, the world isn't going in a great direction as it is.  We may be way more technologically advanced but I don't think society will be better for it.  Unless there's some major deviation from the path that we're currently on, I think 100 years from now the world will be worse.

Question 6

You discover your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake?

I don't have any children so to say yes seems too simple in a way that someone without experience in parenting could manage.  I'd imagine that after that first year, the bond formed with the child you had would have become too strong.  As much as I'd want to know what my child was like, I don't think I would be able to give up the one that I had.

Question 5

If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public.

Ok so this is something that I would need to make more specific to myself to give an honest answer.  The way it is, I would say that it should be the up to the person who's going to take it.  Their life there choice right?  And here's the contradiction, if it were someone I loved there would be no way I'd risk even a percent of a chance of losing them.  Selfish as it may be, that's how I feel about it, there are medicines out there that help with pain from arthritis and I would push that first.  So no, I would not want it released to the public, they can take it back to the drawing board and get rid of that 1% chance first.

Question 4

If you could spend one year in perfect happiness but aftereward would remember nothing of the experience would you do so? If not, why not?

Well I guess it would really be like waking up tomorrow and one year has gone by.  Hmmm, well the way I see it there are pros and cons to either choice.  On the one hand, who wouldn't want to be perfectly happy for an entire year, that would mean everything would go your way and you'd possibly be in better circumstances than before regardless of whether you remember how you go there or not.  That's also the down side.  Not remembering how you got to that exact point in your life could end up hurting more than helping you.  So I guess being the control freak that I am, I don't think I would want to forget a year of my life.  It's the experiences that create memories that make life worth while. 

Question 3

If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not haveing told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?

Well it is sad to say yes that I probably would have this regret if I died.  There's someone I love very much, but to tell them just wouldn't be fair.  I've loved them for the last two years and it’s just been time and circumstance that have stood in the way.  So I will continue to keep that close to my heart and who knows, maybe something will change in the future.   

Question 2

Do you believe in ghosts and evil spirits?  Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted?

Yes, I do believe in ghosts and evil spirits, and HELL no would I spend the night alone in a remote house that's supposedly haunted. I don't particularly like spending the night alone in my house. 

Question #1

For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?

I am absolutely, 100% certain that there would be no way on this earth that I could do it.  Maybe I'll just never love anybody that much, or maybe I can't comprehend loving someone that much.  Either way I care too much about my family to ever leave them.  There's just too much responsibility I have here to consider that, and of course leaving my friends would be just as hard.  I'm sure anyone can make new friends but there's something different about having a friend that knows you because they've spent part of their life growing up alongside you.  I just feel if you weren't a part of those years it wouldn't be the same. Not that you couldn't still be good friends but, for me, there would always be something missing.  

Different Leaf

Ok so I'm rethinking what it is I want to write about.  Truth is I can't make anyone want to read what I think is important no matter how hard I try.  So what I'm thinking is I really am going to be egocentric. There's been something that I've wanted to do for a while now and since I have this outlet, why not put it out there.  I have a book of questions that has about 217 questions to be answered.  My new project is to answer all of them honestly and maybe even get feed back to see what others answer about them as well.  Who know's maybe I'll even find out something new about myself.  Here's hoping. ^_^

See people it's all a show and we're the suckers that buy the tickets.   Politics is no longer the arena in which good men and women try to benefit their country with their beliefs and values, it has now become a stage on which to parade upon and see how well you can act to sell yourself to the masses.  This is the mindset of politicians now, and they wonder why people dont go to the polls anymore.  It's not a lack of interest in our futures it the true lack of anything genuine to care about.  I'm not naive enough to think that this has not always been present, but it seems that today it is more announced than ever before and its seems to be taking precedence over any and all major issues.  Where are the Roosevelts, where are the Kennedys, where are the damn Reagans of the age???  Are they now part of an extinct kind of politico? I surely hope not, because now more than ever we need someone to look up to and whether you look right or left they don't seem to be anywhere in sight.

Pretty scary.

First Toss

So I'm starting this because I have the audacity to think that people don't know too much of what's going on the world around them.  So very arrogantly I am going to bring what I think is something worth knowing to the table.  That's what a blog is right?  I've always seen it as a way that egocentric people got their ideals out... into the great worm whole that we call the world wide web.  Where it will resuface, who knows?  Though that's the point I guess.
