What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?
Home economics, financial literacy, and prayer.
The most important one is prayer. It seemed like things went downhill in American public schools when it was removed. The beginning of knowledge is the acknowledgement of God.
Share a photo of your pet and tell us one thing that makes them uniquely them.
No photos because I don’t have any pets.
What’s your biggest dream?
I’ll achieve it.
Once that’s done I’ll repost and reveal to you what it was.
What are your top 10 travel destinations?
I probably should have left the list unordered because there is no order of preference. It’s just places that I would like to visit.
Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?
I miss the Sega Dreamcast. This is back when I was high school and played video games religiously. I was gifted a Dreamcast for Christmas’s. I was so ecstatic and happy. In the midst of the personal turmoil that was occurring in my life, video games were a refuge.
I remember playing NBA2K with Allen Iverson on the cover at home with my sister at my mom’s. I would also travel to my friend’s place and play video games there. So many memories created. It was a personal mini-convention, if you will.
I know you can get emulators nowadays to replicate the Dreamcast but the memories. I’ll always hold on those.
Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?
We are shaped by the choices we make. Those choices create the experiences we have and thus forms who we are.
Who is your favorite blogger to follow?
For a while it was Lang Whitaker on SLAMonline, then it was Instapundit. Now I don’t have a particular blog that I follow. It’s been mostly supplanted by Twitter.
What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?
Most of my favorite books have already been sequelized. But on the flip of this question. There’s a book I’m thankful that did become a serial, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
I’ll admit I became engrossed in it after watching the film. But the storyline was so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading (and watching) once I started.
What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?
“It’s not what happens to you; it’s what you do about it.”
This isn’t a recent revelation for me, per se. I’ve heard this in the past. It’s more of a reiteration for me.
How do I react to this external stimulus. I may have not been able to stop it from happening. But I can control how I respond.
That is a big-time life lesson.
