[♡AimLEE♡]

they have talked to me before, like sent a non creepy pm. or i've seen them posting around the forum and like what they've had to say.

2.) What is the most important thing you have learned about yourself during the past year?
i still have a lot to learn about myself and what i really want to do with my life.

PUSH IT BABY

 

[Flatfoot]

1.) What is it that makes you add someone into your contact list?
Just a commitment to acknowledge them as a friend I plan to regularly talk to, I guess.

2.) What is the most important thing you have learned about yourself during the past year?
I want to be rich, and I feel that I'm fully capable of it.

3.) Are you still in contact with any of your childhood friends?
Nope. Earliest would be people I knew in 7th grade through high school.

4.) What are the 3 important things you would include in your things-to-do list?
Not sure of the scope of this question, so I'm gonna say remember to set the coffee pot, make sure the bills are up to date, and get rich.

5.) What is the one thing you always have with you when you are away from home?
My knife.

6.) Is there anyone in your life for whom you would do absolutely anything?
Unfortunately, I have to go against the grain for this, and say that the scope of "anything" is too broad for me to agree to this. My logical side won't permit me to say yes, when considering that everyone has the potential to turn out to be an irredeemably evil prick, including loved ones.

7.) When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A professional wrestler, and I still do! 😀

8.) What is the one thing you really want to know, but are afraid to ask?
I'm not sure about a question, but there's opinions I'd like to share that may raise some hate and discontent.

9.) Imagine it’s an ideal world three years from now. You don’t need money, only job satisfaction. What are you doing for a living?
Well, if I can't be a professional wrestler, I wanna keep doing what I'm doing. Working out of an armored car is still fun to me, and hasn't gotten boring or miserable, yet. I've already told myself that if I was rich, I'd still do this.

10.) There is a red button in front of you. Push it and you get 25 million dollars and restored to perfect health at the age of 21 but the memory of you is wiped clean from everyone who ever knew you. Do you push the button?
After question 9, why should I need 25 million dollars? 😛 Okay, just kiddin'! Still, the answer is no. I still wanna be known and remembered by those who do.

A silver dollar that belonged to my dad. It helps me to keep him close.

10.) There is a red button in front of you. Push it and you get 25 million dollars and restored to perfect health at the age of 21 but the memory of you is wiped clean from everyone who ever knew you. Do you push the button?

I could not push the button. I might not meet or marry my first wife which means I would not have my first 2 kids. They would not exist. I might not ever meet and marry Tracy (my soulmate) and would never become the person I am today and probably would lose my ability to make the friends I have been blessed with. We are changed a tiny bit by everyone we interact with in this life. I would be a changed person and would not want to take that risk.

8.) What is the one thing you really want to know, but are afraid to ask?
I want to ask random black woman if all black men have huge penises? Have they ever seen small ones? Obviously I would never ask this because I don't want to read racist.

10.) There is a red button in front of you. Push it and you get 25 million dollars and restored to perfect health at the age of 21 but the memory of you is wiped clean from everyone who ever knew you. Do you push the button?

This is tough... By pushing it I am set for life, with riches and renewed vitality, but none of the people who are close to me (which has come to be quite a lot) would ever know I existed. By refraining I remain unsure of my future but surrounded by those people who make me happy and keep me wanting/driving to see what tomorrow brings, moving forward. Essentially I am choosing between remaining poor and decrepit but around people who matter to me and that I matter to and being rich, young and set for life but the great possibility of living alone for the rest of my life. If you had asked me even 3 years ago, I would not have hesitated to push the button - knowing full well, and even prepared at that point, to live the rest of my life alone. Now though, I've come to realize that I matter to a lot of people and they matter to me; to have those friendships I never in my past thought was possible, true friendships I dreamed of, erased is just something I am no longer prepared to do. I would much rather struggle through life and it's problems and come home to the people that matter the most to me. Money can buy you many things but it can't necessarily buy you what makes you happy and what makes me happy are the family and friends I have been more than fortunate to come to know and love. I respectfully decline the rewards of the button and choose not to push it.

Yes I would. I have reasons greater than social relationships that money and 10 years of youth could drastically help solve. I could meet the people that matter - the friends I know from here - all over again if need be. I've only known you guys for like 10 months, it wouldn't be hard. With everything else I'd be free to start over.

9.) Imagine it’s an ideal world three years from now. You don’t need money, only job satisfaction. What are you doing for a living?

10.) There is a red button in front of you. Push it and you get 25 million dollars and restored to perfect health at the age of 21 but the memory of you is wiped clean from everyone who ever knew you. Do you push the button?[/QUOTE]

No. Let me explain my reasoning. I actually thought about this long and hard lol. First off, I just turned 22, so being restored to 21 is not a huge deal. However, making life that easy is not rewarding in my opinion. I could easily make the friends I have again because the only ones that matter are the ones I've made in the past few years and 25 million dollars would be pretty much awesome. However, where is the satisfaction without the struggle? I think part of what I'm becoming is because of what I've had to learn through friends, life experiences, and some unfortunate events that have happened to me. The button would be easy to just have to clean my slate. I would know better and not make some of the same mistakes, but is that really what I want? I don't want to relive the events that have hurt me for the better...but that's just it...they were for the better and I have used that as my springboard to give me the motivation to become the best that I can possibly be. I plan to make 25 million dollars on my own, by the way 😛...but I want to EARN it, not just have it given to me. One thing I can't stand is people not earning things. I've had to work my ass off for my accomplishments, but it feels all that much more rewarding 🙂. so..no lol.


this was a good one...great job 😀
