Hmm I can't pinpoint my greatest moment of failure just a million little moments that in the grand scheme of things overshadows any victories. I guess one could say that in some ways my failures have made me stronger but at the same time they have also weakened me. I learned many things some good and some bad but mostly I realized that life is a series of trials and all we get in the end is death.
Do the words ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ mean not being persecuted or discriminated against, or do they mean doing whatever you please? I guess they mean doing whatever you please. I may hate discrimination but I still realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it doesn't coincide with my views.
Have you ever discriminated against someone? Imagine that a street gang notorious for wearing purple shirts has robbed and murdered several hundred people in your town. If a man wearing a purple shirt just rang your doorbell, would you answer it? Probably because I may be paranoid but I am not going to discriminate against someone for wearing the color purple because that is just stupid, plus I hardly ever watch the news or touch a newspaper so I highly doubt I would even know of the crimes. Have I ever discriminated against someone? yes I have in the past but I think we all have at one point or another, the thing is you should learn from it and grow as a person.
Is it crazier to choose to be poor or to spend 40 years of your life hating 40 hours a week? I would say it is crazier to be poor because if you can get a job and work hard but decide you are to lazy to than that is unacceptable in my opinion.
Do you ever feel like you don’t have enough time? How many hours a week do you spend watching TV, or playing video games, or…? I never feel like I have enough time but than again I have no idea what I would do with more time. I don't really watch tv, I spend my days in a haze sleeping or reading or just listening to music and hoping life gets better. I am just not a very productive human being.
Do you ever celebrate the green lights? ??? I have no idea what you mean.
If you could be given another talent or ability, what would you want it to be? Have you ever – really – tried to perfect this ability in yourself? I would like to be able to sing or paint. Yes I have tried to learn to paint and I have zero talent at it, the same goes for singing I have a terrible voice.
When you help someone, do you ever think, “What’s in it for me?” Not really
Joy is found with simple awareness. What does your joy look like today? This is a difficult question to answer seeing as how I feel no real joy in my life at the moment. I guess some days I find joy in music or a good book or and unexpected laugh.
What’s the difference between ‘living’ and ‘existing?’ For me living is not a term I would use to describe myself, existing is what I do. I think the difference is like when watching a film of your life do you feel like you were in it or do you feel like you were sitting on the sidelines watching it all pass by.
Are you willing to sacrifice the life of your child or lover to support a war? Never
Do you ask enough questions, or do you settle for what you know? I do both at times but sometimes I just settle because I find asking questions to be to bothersome or tiring.
If you could do it all over again, would you change anything? Yes almost everything.
If your life was a novel, what would be the title and how would your story end? The Journey To Losing Yourself / as for how it would end I assume with my death or maybe whatever comes after death (since I believe in reincarnation maybe I would be reborn and the book would continue on under a new name or a new face).
“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep.
And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare,
like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved.
I woke up into a nightmare.”
― Ned Vizzini
What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you aren’t dying? Well everyone is dying, because everyone will die eventually. Many people don't think about this and think as though they'll live forever. I, however, know I will die and feel like it will be soon.
Do you believe in the death penalty? Hm. In principal yes. I believe that if someone murders someone else, they don't deserve to be here. The only thing, though, is that sometimes people are wrongly convicted and it would beyond suck to get the death penalty when you were actually innocent.
If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend? It would be a really weird friend, because half the time she'd be worshipping me, and the other half of the time she'd be tearing me apart :P
Would you rather be rich and paralyzed from the waist down or poor and able bodied? poor and able bodied. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't even move, I can't even imagine, it would just be horrible. And money really is not everything. If you have love and friendship you can get by
What’s the most expensive gift you have ever received? Is it the best gift you have ever received? I don't know, my family has never spent much on me.
When was the last time you lied? Probably today.
Is it possible to lie without saying anything at all? Yes
Stealing is immoral, right? But what if stealing was the only way to feed a starving child? Then feed the starving child!
If I gave you $20, what percentage would you – really – save? None of it
If I gave you $200,000, what percentage would you save? Maybe 25%? I honestly dont know, ive never had that kind of money before.
Should there be a difference? Yes, it's completely different.
If someone could tell you the exact day and time that you are going to die, would you want them to tell you? If someone could tell me, it would torture me if I didn't know... But I don't want to know. So I'd rather just not have the option at all.
If you found out you were going to die today, would you have any regrets? Of course. Everyone has regrets. People who say they live with no regrets are liars.
Would you be happy with the way you spent the last 24 hours of your life? Not at all.
What’s your single greatest moment of personal failure? Oh man, I can't even pinpoint one moment.
Looking back on it now, did it make you weaker or stronger? My failures only seem to make me weaker, I can't learn from them.
What did you learn? I learned that I suck at life.
Do the words ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ mean not being persecuted or discriminated against, or do they mean doing whatever you please? I think they mean both.
Have you ever discriminated against someone? Yes
Imagine that a street gang notorious for wearing purple shirts has robbed and murdered several hundred people in your town. If a man wearing a purple shirt just rang your doorbell, would you answer it? No, I not even answer the door anyway, I'm scared of people
Is it crazier to choose to be poor or to spend 40 years of your life hating 40 hours a week? It his question is phrased confusingly to me... But I think it's asking whether I'd rather be poor or work at a job that I despise. I'd rather be poor I think, but the responsible decision would be to work at a job I despise.
Do you ever feel like you don’t have enough time? Yes, a lot of the time
How many hours a week do you spend watching TV, or playing video games, or…? Too many :P
Do you ever celebrate the green lights? Hm, what?

Have you ever – really – tried to perfect this ability in yourself? I have worked on it, but not nearly as hard as I should
When you help someone, do you ever think, “What’s in it for me?” Not really
Joy is found with simple awareness. What does your joy look like today? Today? Well today, it's nonexistent.
What’s the difference between ‘living’ and ‘existing?’ Existing is not a choice. We all exist. It's just being. Living is what you choose to do. It's what you choose to do with yourself and what your attitude toward life is.
Are you willing to sacrifice the life of your child or lover to support a war? That's not my decision, it is theirs.
Do you ask enough questions, or do you settle for what you know? Sometimes I'm too shy to ask questions, but I'm always curious.
If you could do it all over again, would you change anything? Definitely
If your life was a novel, what would be the title and how would your story end? The title would be Behind Blue Eyes and I'd like to think it has a happy ending, but I can't know yet can I?
"I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other"
What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you aren’t dying? Wow awkward... I've never actually woke up pretending im not dying.. o.o
Do you believe in the death penalty? What if someone murdered your mother in cold blood? What if someone murdered a stranger’s mother, but saved your life the month before? Death penalty is pretty harsh in my opinion. If someone murdered my mom i would track them down and try (or not probably) make their life hell! And that is gonna be awkward.
If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend? I always talk negatively about myself, so i don't think i want that person to be around much.
Would you rather be rich and paralyzed from the waist down or poor and able bodied? Hmm hard question. But i would rather be poor and able bodied. I can be rich if I tried hard (or marry some rich bloke).
What’s the most expensive gift you have ever received? Is it the best gift you have ever received? Ummm... hmm. Can't remember. But i think it was around 100-200 dollars. Kinda. >.>
When was the last time you lied? Is it possible to lie without saying anything at all? I lie all the time. And the last time i lied was two days ago. And no.
Stealing is immoral, right? But what if stealing was the only way to feed a starving child? hmmmm...... lol.
If I gave you $20, what percentage would you – really – save? If I gave you $200,000, what percentage would you save? Should there be a difference? if i had 20 dollars i would probably used all the money before i could save it. If i had 200k that would be easier. The difference is the more money the more i am able to save.
If someone could tell you the exact day and time that you are going to die, would you want them to tell you? Yes. Truth hurts but i want to know.
If you found out you were going to die today, would you have any regrets? Would you be happy with the way you spent the last 24 hours of your life? I would fuqqing be so mad... I would regret those things i didn't do/did.
What’s your single greatest moment of personal failure? Looking back on it now, did it make you weaker or stronger? What did you learn? My failure was missing way too much school. I purposely skipped school to avoid classmates, because of my bullying experiences. Yupp the bullying did (kinda) make me stronger in terms of emotions. I learn't that skipping school doesn't help anything and if anyone bullies me FUQ them up!
Do the words ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ mean not being persecuted or discriminated against, or do they mean doing whatever you please? Freedom is pretty much the same for everybody.... Mehhh im too tired to think anymore :C
Have you ever discriminated against someone? Imagine that a street gang notorious for wearing purple shirts has robbed and murdered several hundred people in your town. If a man wearing a purple shirt just rang your doorbell, would you answer it? Discriminated? Kinda, but non-verbally. And no i wouldn't answer it because it might be a gang member. But i would ask who it is and if my trusting instincts fall onto that person, i would open. ;)
Is it crazier to choose to be poor or to spend 40 years of your life hating 40 hours a week? o.o Not gonna anwser that. z)
Do you ever feel like you don’t have enough time? How many hours a week do you spend watching TV, or playing video games, or…? i dont have enough time for games for sure. It seems if i play them i never get enough. And i spend minimum 2 hours on all above.
