Reflective Questions and Such

[kybearfuzz]

It's storming here and I'm bored. Given the rush of interview questions, I'll just pose these five and let those who want to answer any or all come forth.

1. What do you think you will do in Heaven?
2. What invention would you like to create?
3. Do you believe in ghosts? Any experiences?
4. What was your proudest moment to date?
5. What was your most disappointing moment to date?

My Answers

1. I figure that I'll spend a great deal of time in Heaven reviewing history, learning all of those unknowns like who Jack the Ripper was or whatever happened to Amelia Earhart. I picture that they have a library where you could look up any past event and truly learned what happened.
   
   
2. To play off my first response, a time machine that would allow a user to venture into the past to observe historical events. I think it would be like a viewing panel to prevent tinkering with history. Either that or a car that runs on tap water to save some gas money.
   
   
3. I do, but not of the chain-rattling wailing sort. I've never seen a ghost, but my nephew has. He was four years old when my grandmother passed away. He spent a lot of time with her and didn't fully understand the concept of death. One day, weeks after her passing, he was at her house and my mom was watching him. She walked into the room where he was playing and he asked where Mother was (we all called my grandmother "Mother"). Mom tried to explain to him that she was in Heaven. My nephew said, no she wasn't, she was just there a few minutes ago. It didn't spook my mom, but rather gave her a warm, fuzzy feeling that Mother was checking in on things.
   
   
4. My college graduation, May 22, 1994. I was the very first to graduate from college in my extended family. It was nice to walk across the steps and get that degree after four long years of working for it.
   
   
5. Strangely enough, it was the same day, May 22, 1994. My mom and grandmother (dad's mom) and my sister and brother came up to watch my graduation. I was hoping for a party and a couple of graduation presents (a used car actually) when I got home. Instead, there was nothing waiting for me when I got home that night. No party, no dinner, no gifts. I felt slighted. Logically, I understood, my folks were as poor as church mice and couldn't have afforded anything anyway, but any effort would have been appreciated.

1. I find it hard to imagine what it is like in Heaven. There are things here on Earth that I do for fun that I can't imagine going on up there (I'll let you fill in the blanks on that one). There would probably be a lot time to meet people and learn everything you have ever wanted to know.

2. A teleport device or a food replicator. Or, just about any of the tech stuff from Star Trek: TNG.

3. Haven't had any experiences myself, but I think there is some sort of extra worldly stuff out there. I used to read all about ghosts and hauntings when I was a kid...and Unsolved Mysteries was my favorite show.

4. High school graduation. I graduated in one of the top spots in the class, and it was all worth it to see my friends and family there.

5. Senior award night. Rather than give the scholarships away during the graduation ceremony, my school had a night a week before where they gave out the awards. The main award that I was to receive was the DeVry scholarship...which was one of the biggest ones to be given away that night. My Mom and I went, and Dad was supposed to be there too. He never showed up. After it was over and I got home, I called Dad (he and Mom were divorced, so he had his own place). He fed me some bullshit line that he wanted to make it, but lost track of time.

I understand the Unsolved Mysteries show being a favorite. I love any ghost-related documentary.
