Important !!! Remember Earth Hour is Tonight. Starting at 8:30pm to 9:30pm your time, around the globe. Lights out! Join the whole world! We can do this!
And now, an Excellent and quirky cartoon from that funny, lovable, crazy man, Dan Piraro!
From time to time, I'll finish this 5000 question MEME. It's really pretty hard to do. I tell my stories here anyway, so that part doesn't bother me but some of the questions I simply don't like. Maybe I could leave them out?
I got all this from the 5000 question MEME from Sunday Stealing who ripped off from THIS GUY, who probably got it from somewhere else.
I see I'm telling my life story here, too. Boy are these things long! Somehow I must have missed 76 through 100 so I'll do that first:
78. Do you prefer Disney or Warner. Actually I like Dreamworks the best. They have the best animators!
77. What is the first animal you would run to see if you went to the zoo? I like the Lemurs.
78. Would you consider yourself to be romantic? Yes, I want to live with the Elves, in the trees, and be in Legolas' Band of Archers.
79. If the earth stopped rotating would we all fly off? I hope so! I like to believe the Universe has a few immutable laws in place that men can't mess up.
80. What is the one thing that you love to do so much that you would make sacrifices to be able to do it? I love to paint in oils. I don't know why the heck I don't do it!!???
81. If you (and everyone) had to lose one right or freedom, but you could pick which one everyone had to lose, what would you pick? The Government has already done that, right? Anyway, I'm a Quaker, so first I would discuss what that one right would be with my Meeting. Then I'd ask the new Pope, and then I'd ask our closer kin, the Methodists. Then I would decide if I were ready to commit tyranny.
82. If you had to choose would you live on the equator or at the North Pole? Equator. The food grows, usually, on trees there, and clothing really is optional.
83. Would you rather give up listening to music or watching television? TV. I feel that Commercial TV is a worthless time waster.
84. What do you think makes someone a hero? I think heroes are not afraid to die. They are selflessly brave, and have the willingness to give up their own lives to save other lives, or they may also be people who will not be silent, even while risking their lives, when they know something is so wrong that it needs to be changed. They do this without expecting rewards and while knowing it means trauma for them personally.
85. What cartoon would you like to be a character in? Animated? I'd like to be Merida, in "Brave". Print? I'd like to be the pie in Bizarro, or maybe the firecracker, or "Doozy" in Mutts.
86. Name one thing that turns your stomach: Black eyed peas. I can't stand the smell of them cooking.
87. What was the last thing you paid for? I bought a half dozen cookies from a bakery.
88. Are you a coupon clipper? Yes and no. No, I can't eat the foods that coupons are for. But I'll use coupons that are for shoes, or clothing, or maybe a dinner out.
89. Get anything good in the mail recently? Netflix red envelope. Yay!
90. Which would you rather take as a gym class...dancing, sailing, karate, or bowling? Sailing! I love sailing. I've done everything else, save karate. That would be fun, too.
91. In Star Trek people 'beam' back and forth between different places. What this means is they stand in a little tube and their molecules are deconstructed and sent to another tube somewhere else where they are reassembled. Only problem is when the molecules are deconstructed the person is dead. When they are put back together it is only a clone that has all the dead person's memories. Is the person who gets beamed the same person on both ends? Obviously not.
92. What insects are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of insects but then I don't live in Africa or Australia. I'm allergic to spider bites but I actually like spiders.
93. If you could print any phrase on a T-shirt, what would it say? "Forests Forever!"
94. What's the most eccentric thing you have ever worn? Bobble bee antennae at the state fair. Or maybe my tie dye harem pants. hmm? Thinking......
95. If you could pick one food that you could eat all you wanted but it would have no effect on how much you weigh, what food would it be? Smooth skinned Organic Navel Oranges. I wish I had a magic tree, so I could eat them every day.
96. What are your parents interested in? Mother was a Farmer and master gardener and hand embroider. She was also a good seamstress before she hurt her hand. As a farmer, she could have fed an army off her small farm - well, a small army. The paternal unit was a very smart man, a good General Contractor back in the day. He also studied for the Law, and was going to be an attorney but he was not a wise man and blew his chances. He spoke five languages, and read four. Such an idiot, and mean as a snake to his family.
97. Have you ever caught an insect and kept it as a pet? With my mother, I used to keep Mantis egg pods for the fun of seeing them hatch out and be so tiny, then we'd let them go in the garden right away. For a little while, for some reason, I loved stink bugs. I think it was the size of them that enchanted me.
Have you ever caught and tamed a wild animal? I have caught and tamed a field mouse as well as a cotton tailed rabbit. My mouse would get out but always came when I called her. The kind vet I took my rabbit to convinced me to release Cotton after removing a very big parasite from the rabbit's belly. I left food out for him but he knew what to do as soon as I let him go in the field. I kept him until he healed. I caught a hummingbird, and, luckily, the poor little thing got away from me.
98. What is more helpful to you, wishes or plans? Plans after wishing works best. Few wishes come true without some work, and I'm very old so, believe me, I know this from doing it the hard way. Broken Hearts come from it, that sort of thing. I once wished for a horse so hard one year that I built a corral for it. I didn't get to keep my Sonny, but only got to ride him up the mountain trails one time. Sonny was a Medicine Hat Mustang.
Psycho Dad, though he had taken me out to see Sonny on his own volition- a friend of his owned Sonny - didn't approve once he saw how much I liked Sonny, and no one goes against a Psycho. Sonny was big (17.5 hands), and he was beautiful; he was a calm and gentle gelding. We were instant friends and we"clicked". Dad saw that, and since he lived to hurt people, he wouldn't buy Sonny. Dad was a born psychological killer.
99. When do you feel your life energy the strongest? In the afternoon and at night, usually late.
100. You are spending the night alone in the woods and may bring only 3 items with you. No one with a brain only takes three items, you need to take a sleeping bag and water, too. I'd also take a home made fire starter kit, a cycling tent, and a big thermos of hot soup. That's five items.
---------------------------------------------------------------

No, I can't imagine being so selfish, and besides, I don't want to live that long much longer. Everyone I am close to and love would be dead. It would be a foolish thing for me to do for many reasons. For instance, someone else would have to take care of me for the last 100 years.

151. What is louder and more annoying: 200 adults talking or one four-year-old screaming? I love four year olds! They just need to have someone find out what's wrong. 200 adults are louder but then you can ignore them, if they don't have something wrong.

156. Who thinks that you are offensive? That's hard to say. People get offended at the slightest things, like you not agreeing with them politically, or that you let your dog beg from the table, or God knows what else.
157. If you had to teach a class in something, what would you be able to teach people? How to draw, objects and people. It's mostly training people to be patient with themselves, training the eye to really see, and training the brain to control the hand properly. I've enjoyed teaching kids to draw. They are easier to teach than adults who really are afraid to appear incapable.
158. Have you ever had a spiritual experience (an experience that cannot be explained by science)? Yes.
159. Do you believe that this experience was truly mystical or do you think there is some scientific explanation for it, only you don't know what it is? There is no way science can explain it. I'm very rational and this has no explanation in science.
160. Do you get offended easily? No, I try to problem solve, so that things can be worked out. I believe, in my heart, that we are all brothers and sisters, and we shouldn't fight or take things away from each other.
161. Would you still love and stay with your significant other if he or she had to have a breast or testicle removed? So, right in the next question you are asking me to be offended? lol.

162. Do you believe in fate or free will? Fate and free will are not really mutually exclusive. Free will is the way we handle things after Fate has dropped an egg on our heads. What sort of stuff we are are made of is revealed by how we handle this problem.
163. Do you believe that only boring people get bored? No. Highly intelligent people get bored and they have very active minds. Boredom can also be a disguise for depression.
164. Can life change or are we all stuck in vain? Life changes all the time. We react or maybe plan a little but when life changes we adapt. There isn't anything else to do, and it is so commonplace a situation that we like to talk with others and find out how they would handle things. These discussions helps us handle our own changes, yes?
165. What changes are you afraid of? I'm afraid of changes in my eyesight. I am afraid of the loss of pets, of family or friends, or friends of friends.
166. Are you a day person or nocturnal? I'm half and half on this.
167. What one CD could you listen to for an entire week (no mixed CD’s, it must be an album)? IZ. Any of his Hawaiian Albums.
168. Which is worse, working in retail, food service, or an office? I haven't worked in an office, and I've never worked in food service so don't know about that, either. But retail is a killer. I love customers and like to help them but oh my poor feet! How do people do this job all the time?
169. What's the coolest job you ever had? Working as a teacher's aid. That was with kids and very fun.
170. What is one central idea that your thoughts seem to come back to? Indra's net.
171. Have you ever wanted to be an actor/tress? Yes, when I played a witch in a play in seventh grade; it was so much fun!
172. If you had the power to control one person and make this person do anything you wanted for a whole day, who would you pick and what would they do? I'd pick Dick Cheney, and I would make him tell the truth about everything I asked him about, in public.
173. What star sign are you and what is your sign like? Since the signs have moved retro grade, and probably mean nothing, I can't say. An archer? I like that one, and then there is the Chinese symbols. hmm?
174. Did the Blair Witch Project scare you? Yes, I thought it was real for half the film. lol
175. Are you in constant fear of death? No. I'm too fatalistic to worry about death, to be honest.
176. Does fear of death keep you from building a life? No.
177. Do you like all your movies to be in wide-screen? I don't like distortion so no.
178. Are you a fan of any comic books? Sadly, I gave them up once I moved away from my cousins.
179. At what age did you attend your first funeral? In my 50's. My mother didn't have a funeral.
180. What do you smell like (lotion, cologne, sweat)? It's bath soap or maybe deodorant.
181. What are your greatest sources for wisdom? My Muses, and my family who have amazing insights, and my friend who is a Buddhist monk. Oh, Yes you are, if you read this!
182. When you were little, where did your parents tell you where babies come from? No.
183. What is your favorite band? I have no favorite, as I love music and hundreds of bands, but the Eagles, Joe Walsh, Crosby Stills and Nash, Fleetwood Mac, and Cream with Ginger Baker, and the Doobie Brothers are right up there near the top.
184. What's the best cheesy 80's song? I have no idea. There was good stuff in the 80's, like any other era.
185. What's the best kind of movie to see on a date? Comedies, Fun Thrillers, and Romantic Comedy, of course, or something like "Avatar" or "Brave".
186. Do you like to sit in the front, middle or back of the Movie Theater? Middle
187. Have you ever been inside an abandoned building? Lots of times but I like old mines better. They aren't as smelly BUT they are more dangerous, so don't go there!
188. Under what circumstances would you agree to work for free? I worked for free a lot. Always for Mother Earth or the animals.
189. Candles or strobe lights? Candles, always, though strobe lights are very cool!
190. Do you think the Lord of the Rings movies are true to the books or did Hollywood change the story too much? I didn't like the book but I love Orlando Bloom, so liked the movie because of him, mostly. I love archers generally, and particularly love the idea of living in trees with elves.
191. When you see a stranger on the street does your first reaction lean towards thinking of this person as a potential friend or as a potential threat? I think "friend". Maybe not in Jamaica, or New york City, mind...
192. Is it natural for human beings to fear and distrust each other, or is it cultural? Groups, or tribes, always vie for space and resources. All we have to look at (and seldom do in our ego-centric Western way) is the tribes of Europe before the Roman tribe got so powerful. There is also the English/Spanish expansionism to world domination not long after we all agreed that the world wasn't flat. Also, there is the Han of China, and the Lakota of North America, or the Navajo as examples. I think the people they all targeted had a lot to fear and history proved them right. I think there is some truth to cultural bias simply because it's ingrained in our psyche, by history, to fear a representative of a different tribe.
193. What do you really want to buy? A little house in Santa Cruz with a great big yard.
194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love? I could live in a tent with the ones I love. They've always known this.
195. If someone wanted to understand you what book could they read that would help? "Whale Rider"
196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves 'one nation under god'? I think "under god" was something added later to appease voters of a certain segment. So that's why it sounds odd. I agree that it's odd.
197. In what sense are you a minority? I am not "all white" but most people don't see this. I'm a good part Native American but look white, only a tiny bit yellow, not pink or brownish.
198. Are you anti social? No, because I truly love people.
199. Do you photograph well? Generally no, I don't. There's a few good pictures of me, though.
200. Do you think that human beings would survive through a nuclear winter? No, and most other life would be gone, too. If any survived it would most likely be the people least worthy to do so, meaning, bluntly, those who had planned to do it, and therefore had vital stockpiles in safe places underground.
And now, an Excellent and quirky cartoon from that funny, lovable, crazy man, Dan Piraro!

150. What is your quest? Being able to always be living in the Mind of Tao, and being more like Christ.
151. What is louder and more annoying: 200 adults talking or one four-year-old screaming? I love four year olds! They just need to have someone find out what's wrong. 200 adults are louder but then you can ignore them, if they don't have something wrong.

157. If you had to teach a class in something, what would you be able to teach people? How to draw, objects and people.

159. Do you believe that this experience was truly mystical or do you think there is some scientific explanation for it, only you don't know what it is? There is no way science can explain it. I'm very rational and this has no explanation in science.

168. Which is worse, working in retail, food service, or an office? I haven't worked in an office, and I've never worked in food service so don't know about that, either. But retail is a killer. I love customers and like to help them but oh my poor feet! How do people do this job all the time?

170. What is one central idea that your thoughts seem to come back to? Indra's net.
171. Have you ever wanted to be an actor/tress? Yes, when I played a witch in a play in seventh grade; it was so much fun!

173. What star sign are you and what is your sign like? Since the signs have moved retro grade, and probably mean nothing, I can't say. An archer? I like that one, and then there is the Chinese symbols. hmm?
174. Did the Blair Witch Project scare you? Yes, I thought it was real for half the film. lol
175. Are you in constant fear of death? No. I'm too fatalistic to worry about death, to be honest.

177. Do you like all your movies to be in wide-screen? I don't like distortion so no.

184. What's the best cheesy 80's song? I have no idea. There was good stuff in the 80's, like any other era.
185. What's the best kind of movie to see on a date? Comedies, Fun Thrillers, and Romantic Comedy, of course, or something like "Avatar" or "Brave".
186. Do you like to sit in the front, middle or back of the Movie Theater? Middle
187. Have you ever been inside an abandoned building? Lots of times but I like old mines better. They aren't as smelly BUT they are more dangerous, so don't go there!
188. Under what circumstances would you agree to work for free? I worked for free a lot. Always for Mother Earth or the animals.
189. Candles or strobe lights? Candles, always, though strobe lights are very cool!
190. Do you think the Lord of the Rings movies are true to the books or did Hollywood change the story too much? I didn't like the book but I love Orlando Bloom, so liked the movie because of him, mostly. I love archers generally, and particularly love the idea of living in trees with elves.
191. When you see a stranger on the street does your first reaction lean towards thinking of this person as a potential friend or as a potential threat? I think "friend". Maybe not in Jamaica, or New york City, mind...
192. Is it natural for human beings to fear and distrust each other, or is it cultural? Groups, or tribes, always vie for space and resources. All we have to look at (and seldom do in our ego-centric Western way) is the tribes of Europe before the Roman tribe got so powerful. There is also the English/Spanish expansionism to world domination not long after we all agreed that the world wasn't flat. Also, there is the Han of China, and the Lakota of North America, or the Navajo as examples. I think the people they all targeted had a lot to fear and history proved them right. I think there is some truth to cultural bias simply because it's ingrained in our psyche, by history, to fear a representative of a different tribe.
193. What do you really want to buy? A little house in Santa Cruz with a great big yard.
194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love? I could live in a tent with the ones I love. They've always known this.
195. If someone wanted to understand you what book could they read that would help? "Whale Rider"
196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves 'one nation under god'? I think "under god" was something added later to appease voters of a certain segment. So that's why it sounds odd. I agree that it's odd.
197. In what sense are you a minority? I am not "all white" but most people don't see this. I'm a good part Native American but look white, only a tiny bit yellow, not pink or brownish.
198. Are you anti social? No, because I truly love people.
199. Do you photograph well? Generally no, I don't. There's a few good pictures of me, though.
200. Do you think that human beings would survive through a nuclear winter? No, and most other life would be gone, too. If any survived it would most likely be the people least worthy to do so, meaning, bluntly, those who had planned to do it, and therefore had vital stockpiles in safe places underground.
