Question 1 - Do you believe in Ghosts? 3. I believe in things not yet explained by science, or things currently misidentified by science. Ghosts happen. I don’t know whether they’re a result of
some unexplained, previously undocumented, otherwise mundane human sense, or whether they’re psychic imprints laid down during life and left behind, or if ghosts are the immortal souls of those who cannot accept their own passing. I’m betting on the first one, though.
Question 2 - Do you believe in UFO's. By UFO's I'm specifically speaking of extra terrestrial controlled crafts. 2. I believe that any possible extra-terrestrial life would have a really, really, really hard time travelling to the stars, and the chances grow slimmer with every passing second. We will reach a point where the expansion of the universe makes interstellar travel impossible, if we aren’t there already. In the event that some aliens did go to the stars, so much “manpower” and so many resources would have been expended that it would be a one way trip. I’d also guess that a planet would only have the resources to make one successful trip and any given civilization would only have the collective will to make a couple attempts.
Question 3 - Do you believe in God/ A Universal Consciousness or anything that would otherwise fall into this category? 5 Yes.
Question 4 - Do you believe in the possibility of time travel? 4. I believe that it is possible, if not practical. If it’s ever discovered and verified,
I'm betting it’s something natural instead of building man-made. Question 5 - Do you believe in the possibility of human civilizations existing before, or even long before, the currently accepted time line? 4. I’ve seen indirect evidence for the use of woven cloth by hominids a couple hundred thousand years before the evolution of Neanderthals. That shows me that maybe the Neolithic revolution wasn’t the first time that hominids cultivated plants.
Question 6 - Do you believe in Chi/Qi? 2. See question 1.
Question 7 - Would you give your life to save a stranger? 3. I’d like to think “yes, absolutely!” I already know that I would do almost anything short of giving up my life to help a stranger, but I just don’t know how I’d react in a life or death situation.
Question 8 - Are you an animal lover? 4. I occasionally euthanize the kills that my sister’s cat shows me before she’s ready to stop playing with them. I consider it kind, but it is still killing.
Question 9 - Do you try to love your fellow man? 3. I try to avoid my fellow man so that I’ve won’t be tempted to strangle him. That said, I deeply love a select few individuals and always enjoy spending time with them.
Question 10 - Eye for an eye? 1. Makes the whole world blind.
Question 11 - Do you believe civilians should be allowed to own guns? 4. Yes. I favor regulating actions, not items.
Question 12 - Do you believe in the death penalty? 4. Yes, but not out of vengeance or deterrence.
1. What are your favorite colors? Blue. From
the odd misty gray blue of the ocean at twilight through the brightest
indigo bunting to
the inky black blue of the night sky. Not surprising, since I'm red/green colorblind.
2. Describe an amazing time in your life. The first time I can remember being genuinely happy was during my first year of college. My whole life I’d been borderline depressed/mellow, but I was actually content with where my life was, who I was, and what I was doing. It’s an interesting feeling to wake up for the first time and NOT have a list of reasons why you should stay in bed (or why you wish you never woke up at all.) I loved my friends, I liked my surrounding, but most importantly I accepted myself.
a) Describe a horrible time in your life. Age 11. In early October I got sick and never seemed to recover. I’d miss a day of school here and there, but I never tested positive for anything. The doctors said I was faking it, they guessed that I was being bullied and recommended I talk with counselors. My parents trusted me, but they didn’t know what to do because I just wasn’t getting better. In late February of the next year I was eventually referred to someone who knew what was wrong: Crohn’s Disease. By this point my symptoms had worsened. I wasn’t just tired and lazy all the time: I had full blown arthritis, I was throwing up every time I tried to eat, and I had developed a fistula. Mine was basically an infected stab wound, a 1 inch wide hole 3 inches deep that just appeared one day. It hurt enough that I just wanted to black out. After meeting that doctor my life improved dramatically, but there was a short time when I just wanted everything to end and I didn’t care how.
3. Briefly describe an interesting and/or amazing coincidence that has personally affected you. (i.e. involves you, or someone close to you) There is no such thing as a coincidence. I generate reality with my thoughts, and everything that happens is directly related to what preceded it because I was already thinking along those lines. You create your own reality, which I have no knowledge of whatsoever.
4. Describe something small that you really missed once it was gone. Closeness. Growing up, my family lived close by and my friends were all in the same city with me. As an adult my friends are scattered across that globe and I can go years without seeing them.
5. Name any 3 people you would love to meet. (dead/alive, mythical etc. Doesn't matter.) In order:
Genghis Khan
Sun Tsu
Ishi
