I absolutely hate that I let things get to me and get very angry in certain situations and I dislike my occasional bad attitude that pops up when I'm stressed out .

1 ) Since the year is half over now, is it what you pictured it would be like? Did you have any expectations? I had low expectations. They've been realized.

2 ) Compare and contrast two things you like about your personality verses 2 things you don’t like. Are they the same things your friends like or dislike about you? If there’s a disconnect, why? Much too complicated a question without cash prizes being rewarded. Nevertheless, I like my breadth of knowledge by way of wanderlust; I don't like my lack of depth in one area due to low endurance and attention span. I also don't like how much of a pushover I am. Friends agree I'm a pushover (and they love it where it means I let them get away with certain crap). But instead of a perceived lack of depth in me, I suspect they process it as my lack of patience in engaging them in a subject... they think I'm sometimes fleeting, arrogant, aloof.

3 ) Ask the orger who posted above you a question. JessieJ, what do you love/hate the most about living in New York?

4 ) Do you believe in Evolution? Who firmly do you believe or disbelieve it?I think the overall workings of the theories that fall under this category ring true. I'm not sold on all the details, deductions and implications.

5 ) Do you believe in a creator? Yes

6 ) Are you financially stable? I've enough to maintain my current lifestyle, but there's very little saving going on, which needs fixed.

7 ) Are you more stressed out or more relaxed on a regular basis? Relaxed

8 ) What do you do to unwind? Take a long shower

9 ) What 2 things do you worry about the most now as opposed to 7 years ago? How have they changed? Seven years ago, I worried about surviving depression. These days my concerns are generally more about my financial future and providing for my kid in years to come.

10 ) What is the largest age difference between you and a ‘friend’? a lover? your siblings? Friend, 40 years (he recently passed) ; a past lover, 4 years; siblings, exactly 7 years, 2 months and 1 day in either direction

11 ) In 5 words, describe the year 2008 as it pertains to your
life. After quicksand comes solid ground

12 ) Have you forgiven someone for something recently? Did you do it cause you had to, or because you wanted to? I forgive daily, primarily because I have to. But I'm perpetually learning to desire it as well

13 ) What is the most useless object in the room you’re sitting in? Possibly a wire replica of the Eiffel Tower

14 ) what is the most useful object (Besides something on your body) in the room you’re sitting in? My laptop

15 ) Could you survive in the wilderness for 2 months with a knife and matches? Probably, but it'd be AWFUL!

16 ) If you met a Polish college student in a large city like, say , Chicago, and you two got along well, how long would it take before you slept with him? I think I'd fix him up with this weird Asian dude of undetermined sexuality whom I know.

17 ) Pick a musical act that you absolutely hate. Please describe it in such a way that can adequately convey why you hate them I could probably do a better job of conveying how much I hate them: If I had enough money to send half the world's crunk artists all the way across the shark-infested ocean in a barrel and leave them, I'd rather send all of them halfway across and leave them.

18 ) What’s the lamest excuse you’ve given someone this year for anything. I don't generally give excuses, but when I do it's almost always that I'm "ill."

19 ) This is PURELY a vanity question: What one thing about aging , as far as your looks are concerned, that you least like? Probably that my skin is not as flawless as it once was.

20 ) What about aging can you appreciate? Being more realistic about what life brings

21 ) Do you find yourself becoming more conservative or open minded throughout your life? More idealistic or pragmatic? I don't find being conservative and open-minded necessarily at odds. I think in some ways I've become both... and definitely more pragmatic.

22 ) What is the most ridiculous dream or aspiration that you’ve had for your life? Could you have obtained it if you applied yourself? In kindergarten I thought I'd one day become a screenwriter or film director. Had I actually applied myself... who knows?

23 ) Coffee or your favorite juice? Coffee in fall/winter. Juice in spring/summer

24 ) An orger decides to venture from Prince M&M into P&R. What one piece of advise do you give them? Keep a sense of humor and don't expect much out of others.

25 ) Whether you like summer or not, what do you most about it? What is the best summer you’ve ever had? I'm not generally a fan of summer, but I do enjoy the buzz of people moving, enjoying leisure and personal passions, experiencing exciting new things. I enjoyed many of my childhood summers, so it'd be tough to single out a favorite. My best adult summer, though, was very likely the summer after I got married and taking a driving tour of New England and Southern Quebec.

2 ) Compare and contrast two things you like about your personality verses 2 things you don’t like. Are the the same things your friends like or dislike about you? If there’s a disconnect, why?

"Be prepared to read all sorts of stupid and/or bigoted bullshit."

25 ) Whether you like summer or not, what do you most about it? What is the best summer you’ve ever had?
What I like most about summer is that it's not cold. Best one I've ever had? Maybe the one where I met this cutie?:

No fuckin' way, because (imo) there are reprehensible things about each. Not to mention there are incredible components to each that shouldn't be ignored or disregarded. There's no way I'd choose one over the other because I'd be missing out on the wisdom of the others. There are beneficial facets of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam I can't deny, to say the least.

In other words: No. No I don't.

Where's the Icelandic question?

INSATIABLE said:

5 ) Do you believe in a creator? Again, nature.

6 ) Are you financially stable? At the moment, yes.

7 ) Are you more stressed out or more relaxed on a regular basis? I have a tendency to stress, but when I unwind, I unwind in the most magnificent way. Ask Tim.

8 ) What do you do to unwind? Ask Tim.

9 ) What 2 things do you worry about the most now as opposed to 7 years ago? How have they changed? I worry about less, as so much happened to me the last 7 years, I am more down to earth.

21 ) Do you find yourself becoming more conservative or open minded throughout your life? More idealistic or pragmatic? Uhmmm, I seem to polish my habits into tools that can wound others. Bit of both, I suppose.

22 ) What is the most ridiculous dream or aspiration that you’ve had for your life? Could you have obtained it if you applied yourself? That I can sustain a relationship. Probably not, as I am too lazy.

23 ) Coffee or your favorite juice? Doh. Coffee.

24 ) An orger decides to venture from Prince M&M into P&R. What one piece of advise do you give them? Don’t.

25 ) Whether you like summer or not, what do you most about it? What is the best summer you’ve ever had? I like this spring, hoping for an amazing summer. The best is always yet to come.

1 ) Since the year is half over now, is it what you pictured it would be like? Did you have any expectations?

-- no not really, i had wished i was weighing a WHOLE lot less than i am now... but financially i'm not able to excel like i thought i would, walking, jogging, and stairs just don't seem to cut it right now...

2 ) Compare and contrast two things you like about your personality verses 2 things you don’t like. Are the the same things your friends like or dislike about you? If there’s a disconnect, why?

-- dan, good question! ok well, i like that i'm genuine and that i tend to acknowledge and appreciate the smaller things in life... what i don't like is that i don't get taken seriously enough and i'm also too aggressive, but in the friendly way... i just really get happy when people gel with me well...
my friends tease whenever i notice small things, but they still don't take me seriously, and shy away from me when i get a bit aggressive... but that's life - and i'm not just letting it happen, i'm totally working on it...slowly.

3 ) Ask the orger who posted above you a question.

-- (for now it's huey!) d'ya think i'm sexy?

4 ) Do you believe in Evolution? Who firmly do you believe or disbelieve it?

-- dan, you meant "how" right? i believe in the evolution of the self, i don't believe we evolved from monkeys or anything like that. i believe we are they way we are because we are....and that's that. while it's fun musing about how may have got here - i don't necessarily find it crucial to actually solve the equation - just spend life being happy, and ask the right questions - the one that won't bog up all your time.

5 ) Do you believe in a creator?

-- yes, we all are creators. and i love what i do.

6 ) Are you financially stable?

-- hell 2 tha naw. i won't be until after grad school and about 5 years into my career. unless i get some big time commissions...

7 ) Are you more stressed out or more relaxed on a regular basis?

-- more stressed out... like today for instance, it could've easily had been pathetic fallacy, but i felt like crying spontaneously in my sculpture class for no reason... well the reason being that i looked like kife today and everyone else looked like ... awesome. ecch.. i just need a new day.

8 ) What do you do to unwind?

-- smoke weed... but when that ain't around (which is like always because i never have a need to buy it, if it's around, sure, but i'm not going out of my way for it) i do facials, mud masks, scrubs, toners - all of that... i'll be doing that later too
sometimes i soak my feet or burn incense, do some yoga, dance... PAINT.

9 ) What 2 things do you worry about the most now as opposed to 7 years ago? How have they changed?

-- man how old was i 7 years ago? 15... now i worry about money and school ... those were never concerns of mine at 15... it was "oh man, i wonder if mike likes me, maybe i should ask him out"

10 ) What is the largest age difference between you and a ‘friend’? a lover? your siblings?

-- "friend"... uhmm i don't really have any older friends, they're in upper years but i'm still older than them because i stayed back in high school for a victory lap...
(ex)lover, he turns 30 this year... the one i'm supposedly dating now, around the same age.
sibling -- haha they're all older than me, the next one up from me being 31... the oldest is 45.
yeah. i know.

11 ) In 5 words, describe the year 2008 as it pertains to your life.

-- i will lose the weight.

12 ) Have you forgiven someone for something recently? Did you do it cause you had to, or because you wanted to?

-- yes, and it was a bit of both reasons. my brother and i had stopped talking over his fuckup with me (i'm not getting into it) and my parents wanted me to forgive him and i wasn't ready... then he and his girl had a baby together, and i wanted to be there for her, so i decided to woman-up and forgive (but not forget)

13 ) What is the most useless object in the room you’re sitting in?

-- my desk, it just harbours CRAP.

14 ) what is the most useful object (Besides something on your body) in the room you’re sitting in?

-- this baby that i'm on right now - my macbook.

15 ) Could you survive in the wilderness for 2 months with a knife and matches?

-- hell fucking no.

16 ) If you met a Polish college student in a large city like, say , Chicago, and you two got along well, how long would it take before you slept with him?

-- the polish person i know is a girl, and while she is pretty i'm not attracted to her in that way.
and plus, i think it would be hard for a girl like me to turn a man like rushing on to me.. good luck though, dan.

17 ) Pick a musical act that you absolutely hate. Please describe it in such a way that can adequately convey why you hate them

-- country singers annoy me to the point of my blood curdling.. they whine and whine - even make their guitars whine, about their man cheatin, their dog's-a-barkin and the need to go to work on tuesday.. FUCK YOU YOU'RE NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN US SO STOP WHINING AND FUCKING CALLING IT MUSIC. YOU FUCKING RAPPERS TOO YOU SICK UNLTALENTED MOTHERFUCKERS THINKING THAT SONGS ABOUT PUSSY WEED 'BUB' JEWELRY AND CARS CLASSIFIES AS REAL MUSIC. GROW SOME MOTHERFUCKING BALLS YOU SAD EXCUSES FOR HUMANS! YOU REALIZE YOU'VE SET US BACK A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS RIGHT, YOU ASS WHIPES? FUCK YOU. FUCK YOUR LIVES. FUCK WHAT YOU DO. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.

...whoops.. sorry. and i don't mean all rappers by the way... there are some that just don't get the credit they deserve.

18 ) What’s the lamest excuse you’ve given someone this year for anything.

-- "i had to wash my hair" and while it sounds lame, these pretty locks just don't stay pretty on their own, it's a DAY long thing to keep these sexy things looking fresh. THANK YOU.

19 ) This is PURELY a vanity question: What one thing about aging , as far as your looks are concerned, that you least like?

-- saggy tits. the moment that happens, i'm going under the knife to CUT THEM OFF. yeah they look good now... just wait.

20 ) What about aging can you appreciate?

-- gray hair - i can't wait for that, and this general look of distinction, i think i'll be a beautiful old lady...

21 ) Do you find yourself becoming more conservative or open minded throughout your life? More idealistic or pragmatic?

-- open minded, i'm left handed and an artist - what more do you want?
i'm definitely cynical though.

22 ) What is the most ridiculous dream or aspiration that you’ve had for your life? Could you have obtained it if you applied yourself?

-- i'm half way there... i just want to live my life with art in the front seat with me, and once i graduate next year i'm off to grad school, and then after that, teaching - life will be sweet.

23 ) Coffee or your favorite juice?

-- MANGO LEMONADE. HANDS DOWN.

24 ) An orger decides to venture from Prince M&M into P&R. What one piece of advise do you give them?

-- don't be a tard, come to general discussion.

25 ) Whether you like summer or not, what do you most about it? What is the best summer you’ve ever had?

-- last summer was kick ass because we beach'd it almost on the daily.









Dan, i'm impressed, great questionnaire!
[Edited 6/10/08 13:40pm]

1 ) Since the year is half over now, is it what you pictured it would be like? Did you have any expectations? Not at all. None of my expectations were fulfilled personally or academically, although some of them weren't a total bust. Those goals were harder to achieve than I thought.
2 ) Compare and contrast two things you like about your personality verses 2 things you don’t like. Are the the same things your friends like or dislike about you? If there’s a disconnect, why?

17 ) Pick a musical act that you absolutely hate. Please describe it in such a way that can adequately convey why you hate them. Most of today's rappers.

Apparently you can pick up a record deal like u can pick up some milk and eggs at the corner store b/c talent is no longer required.

the summer of JerseyKRS was totally dope yo!!

Boy howdy, it's a new Imago questionaire! Oh, joy.



1 ) Since the year is half over now, is it what you pictured it would be like? Did you have any expectations? At the beginning of the year I was about 90% traumatized from the previous year, so anything was bound to be a step upwards. I think at this point I'm only about 43% traumatized, so 2008 has been good times thus far.

2 ) Compare and contrast two things you like about your personality verses 2 things you don’t like. Are the the same things your friends like or dislike about you? If there’s a disconnect, why? Oh my god, I don't have the time for this.

3 ) Ask the orger who posted above you a question. Do you have super speed powers? Because your avatar picture kind of looks like The Flash. (this made more sense when purplerighteousone's post was right above mine instead of zombiespideykrs)


4 ) Do you believe in Evolution? Who firmly do you believe or disbelieve it? You realize your syntax in the second half of this question is proof that evolution is flawed, right? ANYWAY. I believe in evolution AND creationism. It's like Peaches says about her sexual orientation: I don't have to make the choice. I believe life has evolved over the millions of years this planet has been spinning. I also believe there is an energy behind that process which is larger than the sum its parts. I particularly enjoy this theory because it pisses off both creationists and evolutionists.


5 ) Do you believe in a creator? Yes, though to characterize it as a person would not be accurate to my beliefs.


6 ) Are you financially stable? Yes, and it makes me very uncomfortable. Being able to afford stuff all the time is creepy.

7 ) Are you more stressed out or more relaxed on a regular basis? My name is Anxiety. Take a guess.

8 ) What do you do to unwind? Lately I've been watching the entire series of Seinfeld on DVD. I bought most of the seasons for my mom because she was a big fan of the show, so after she died I was stuck with all these Seinfeld box sets...so I figured I'd buy the rest of the seasons and sit through them all. In a way, watching these has been a form of bonding with my mom's memory, and in another way it's just been a method of unwinding and turning off my brain and laughing for a while. I'm up to the last season now, so I'm sure I'll have the D/Ts in a few days. Maybe I'll Netflix the Bee Movie, lol

9 ) What 2 things do you worry about the most now as opposed to 7 years ago? How have they changed? I don't have a lot of worries these days. I have things that I'd rather have go a different way, and sometimes I obsess over those things, but I don't have a whole lot left to worry about. My cat Chuck has a little scar looking thing on his back leg and I've been a little worried about that, but he seems in fine health and we're taking him to the vet tomorrow. See? Stuff like that is what I have to worry about these days. 7 years ago I would be worried about my mother's health and where my next month's rent would be coming from. Things have changed a lot. Instead of having a lot of worries regarding the outside world, I have a lot of things to work out on the inside of my noggin.


10 ) What is the largest age difference between you and a ‘friend’? a lover? your siblings? I tend not to have very intimate relationships with people too far from my age range, whether romantic or platonic. My safety zone seems to be within 10 years of my own age, though it's really more like within 5 years of my own age, plus or minus. Maybe I have a mild generation gap phobia. That, or I just don't like having to explain references to other people that another Gen Xer would understand from the get-go. I think as I get older, I'm getting more comfortable with younger and older people. But not much.

11 ) In 5 words, describe the year 2008 as it pertains to your life.

Blame It On The Booty.

12 ) Have you forgiven someone for something recently? Did you do it cause you had to, or because you wanted to? I sent my dad a father's day card for the first time in years, and I did it despite being more disappointed in him now than perhaps any other time in my life...and my father has done a lot of disappointing things. I just decided I wanted to let it go. My dad is always going to be weak and lame and I can either go through the rest of my life expecting more from him and always being hurt, or I can just accept the fact that he's a born loser and try to retain some semblance of my heritage and blood family by trying to get along with him. I don't have a lot of family left, so I decided I'd start trying to reach out to my dad, just as a social experiment if nothing else.


13 ) What is the most useless object in the room you’re sitting in? I'm sure it's located at my boss's desk.


14 ) what is the mos useful object (Besides something on your body) in the room you’re sitting in? My iPod

15 ) Could you survive in the wilderness for 2 months with a knife and matches? I dunno. Sure. 2 months? I'd have a really skanky looking beard but otherwise I think I'd manage.

16 ) If you met a Polish college student in a large city like, say , Chicago, and you two got along well, how long would it take before you slept with him? This reminds me of that one time when I met an Icelandic college student in Iceland.


17 ) Pick a musical act that you absolutely hate. Please describe it in such a way that can adequately convey why you hate them I don't wanna be all hateration-styley. My first response would be The Smiths, but I don't really hate the whole band. I think the musical arrangements are pretty cool, actually. I just hate Morrissey. I hate his voice. I hate his persona. I hate his image. I hate his bitch-ass sideburns. I hate his big shirt and his ass-flowers. And I hate his voice. HAAAATE his voice.


18 ) What’s the lamest excuse you’ve given someone this year for anything. I wake up every morning giving lame excuses and from there I just bullshit my way through the day. I can't narrow it down for you, sorry.


19 ) This is PURELY a vanity question: What one thing about aging , as far as your looks are concerned, that you least like? I'm liking the way I'm aging. I have no dread or resentment at all with regards to how I am decaying. I'm finally getting some bone structure in my face, my hair is turning a beautiful silver, and I'm getting some substance to my features instead of looking like something carved out of a moldy marshmallow. I don't want to get liver spots, but I don't have those yet. When those start popping up, I'll be bitching up a storm.


20 ) What about aging can you appreciate? Ha ha, I already answered that question.


21 ) Do you find yourself becoming more conservative or open minded throughout your life? More idealistic or pragmatic? I don't think I'm becoming more conservative - if anything, I think I struggle with being more reactionary on the liberal side of the fence. Conservative people scare me more as I get older than they did when I was younger, because when I was a kid, scary conservatives were people who were my mom's age. These days, there are scary conservatives who are MY age, and who are doing really scary, really conservative things. And that creeps my shit out. I do think I'm becoming more pragmatic as I get older, thank goodness. I think that my pragmatism is really just my idealism sharpened to a fine point, though.


22 ) What is the most ridiculous dream or aspiration that you’ve had for your life? Could you have obtained it if you applied yourself? Completing a novel, maybe even getting it published. I don't know if I can obtain it. I need to figure out what I'm about at this stage in my life and figure out where my energy should be applied.


23 ) Coffee or your favorite juice? What?

24 ) An orger decides to venture from Prince M&M into P&R. What one piece of advise do you give them? You'll end up deleting your account, but you'll be back.

25 ) Whether you like summer or not, what do you most about it? What is the best summer you’ve ever had? I like summer. I like t-shirt and shorts weather. I like sweating and not being hungry for fatty foods. I like cold showers in the afternoon. I like summer.
[Edited 6/10/08 15:44pm]

1 ) Since the year is half over now, is it what you pictured it would be like? Did you have any expectations?

I didn't expect to lose my dear uncle and godfather last week. He was undergoing treatment for cancer, his esophagus was burned and had two heartattacks. He died from complications and shouldn't have gone that way.


2 ) Compare and contrast two things you like about your personality verses 2 things you don’t like. Are the the same things your friends like or dislike about you? If there’s a disconnect, why?

Friend: I have friends who are kids and seniors, so I don't know there.
Lover: 13 years
Siblings: 19 years

11 ) In 5 words, describe the year 2008 as it pertains to your life.

"It's all about to change"

12 ) Have you forgiven someone for something recently? Did you do it cause you had to, or because you wanted to?

Oh sure. But, I've never felt that I've HAD to forgive anyone for anything. It's a choice, isn't it?

13 ) What is the most useless object in the room you’re sitting in?

Artificial plant

14 ) what is the mos useful object (Besides something on your body) in the room you’re sitting in?

computer

15 ) Could you survive in the wilderness for 2 months with a knife and matches?

Shoot. I'd hope so.

16 ) If you met a Polish college student in a large city like, say , Chicago, and you two got along well, how long would it take before you slept with him?


It would depend on quite a few things.

17 ) Pick a musical act that you absolutely hate. Please describe it in such a way that can adequately convey why you hate them

Ann Murray. I think that one explains itself.

18 ) What’s the lamest excuse you’ve given someone this year for anything.

To be a music journalist. I think I could have done it if I wanted to starve for a few more years. But, it was a choice not to pursue it because of that.

23 ) Coffee or your favorite juice?

Coffee!!

24 ) An orger decides to venture from Prince M&M into P&R. What one piece of advise do you give them?

Wear a helmet.

25 ) Whether you like summer or not, what do you most about it? What is the best summer you’ve ever had?

The thing I like about it most is the ease of getting out of the house - no big heavy clothes or scraping off the car. The best summer I ever had was in 1992,
