Two questions

I don't why I was just thinking about this, but then I thought, why not ask the Org.

Two questions:

1 - If you could find out the answer to any one question what would it be?

This could be as serious as Is there a God or was there really only one person involved in JFK's assassination, to was the WWF ever real? Heck it could even be something like did my ex ever really get with Jodie before we split up?

2 - If you could interview anyone from history today - alive or dead - who would it be and why?

Would it be Gandhi, Prince, Joan of Arc, Einstein, Buddha, JC, Hitler, Lindsey Lohan?

I still don't have an answer to number one yet. #2 is tougher than I thought. Because music is such a big part of my life, I would think interviewing one of my heros like Smokey or Stevie or Prince would be really fulfilling. But then I think about all the other folks in the history of the world that would be more important, and it would seem rather foolish to "waste" that opportunity on a musician.

After thinking it over, I'd probably go with Gandhi. I'd love to hear his take on the infiltration of modern technology. What's become of India/Pakistan. The continued conflict in Israel. So many things. I guess it's down to him and Justin Bieber......

Anyone else feel like giving this some thought?

Hi Fenwick wink

So my answer to Question #1...There is just one question that I'd like answered, but I'd like it answered by everyone I meet/know/interact with: "Is that the truth?"

Too often we make life decisions or form opinions about something that was misrepresented. Just tell me the truth and then we can move on from there.

Question #2... that's a tough one for me to answer. I can't say that I have an immediate desire to interview anyone. I wish I could say Prince, but he seems like such a weirdo with strangers. I'd rather just have the opportunity to be his friend and see his true personality than interview him.

I think just about everyone has an interesting perspective on some topic. Talking to people while travelling or on first dates, when you are just getting to know someone is kind of like an interview and I do that all the time. Even a normal, non-celebrity has a story.

I like talking to people and hearing about their life and opinions, so I guess my answer to Question #2 is everyone, because you never know when you hear something that will change your own life!

Oh...and as a side note... I read an article about Gandhi on the interent (so it must be true) about how he was OBSESSED with sex. Not that he wanted to have it all the time, but that he so much wanted to prove that he could be abstinate that he would sleep naked with random women, employees, 19 year-old relatives - just to prove that he wouldn't get horny! LOL

Have a nice weekend, Matt!

Hey Carrie!

Interesting. I guess I was thinking on a grander scale on number one. Yours seems to be the one question you'd like to ask everyone when you hear/collect/gather information.

I was thinking more along the lines of a one time thing like - how did the universe get created etc...

On number two - I'm not letting you off that easy!!!! You have to pick SOMEONE!

That's very strange about Gandhi and the sex thing. I know they commited to a life of abstinance for a very long period of time later in their lives. Ive never really understood the need for it but whatever made them happy, or uh... unhappy.....

Can I find and be with my loved ones once we are dead?

I could raise a deceased ancestor in my family to tell me about my family tree... maybe my great granparents on both sides and have them share their memories with me so I could pass them on.
