not what this post was going to be about

This post is supposed to be about the 5K that I ran this past Saturday, but the pictures haven't been posted yet and what's a post about running around covered in color without some pictures?

Marj from Raising Roscoe posted a couple of questions from 50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind a couple of weeks ago and I had to stop over and see what the rest of the questions were. So here are my answers to the first 25. If you have to take a break while you're reading them that's cool. I won't judge, just make sure you come back and finish.
  1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? mid to early 20's and that how old people think I am. I'm older though. 
  2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? never trying, you're not failing if you at least try
  3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? because sometimes you have to do things you don't like and we're weird and scared and want to do things but are afraid and it gets the best of us. we should just do things.
  4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? I don't feel like I say much and I totally tend to do a lot, so I don't think I'll have said more than I've done. BAM!
  5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? Get rid of some of the negativity and the hate. It's pointless. We probably need some of it for balance and drive, but there is a lot of it that seems very useless.
  6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? crafting, blogging, keeping a home.
  7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? I'm working on doing what I believe. I've become a little content though and need to shake things up and get moving. Sooner rather than later even.
  8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I don't know. Would I have learned some things earlier on? It's hard to say. Sounds like a cop out answer, but really it is.
  9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? Not a very large degree. I'm very much a go with the flow type. Things kinda just happen to me. I'm starting to take control of my life though. I realize now what I want and am doing things to make that happen.
  10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I guess I'd say doing the right things, though I don't think I really worry about much. Like I mentioned previously I'm pretty much go with the flow.
  11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.  They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.  The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? Tell them that I wish they wouldn't talk about my friend like that in front of me.
  12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Stop crying, I'm trying to sleep.
  13. Would you break the law to save a loved one? Depends on the situation. If they're doing illegal things that get them into trouble. Man...I don't know.
  14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? Say what?
  15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people? I don't know what everyone else is doing so I really can't say. I do sit on my toilet bow sideways when I'm at home though.
  16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? Because everyone is different. Simple as that.
  17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do?  What’s holding you back?
  18. Travel all over the world. I don't currently have the funds to do so, just you wait though.
  19. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Probably so.
  20. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? Probably California. I liked it there when I lived there previously. I need a change of pace. I'd like to check out Austin too.
  21. Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Sometimes. No. I usually press it more than once because it didn't light up the first time.
  22. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Joyful simpleton. Life is easier when things are simple.
  23. Why are you, you? Because I'm me.
  24. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I think so, better even.
  25. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? Losing touch with a good friend who is local. Even though that friend has moved away at least you are still in touch and know what's going on in each others lives. And there is the possibility of getting together again.
  26. What are you most grateful for? Waking up in the morning and seeing another day. If I didn't have at least that, nothing else would really matter.
If you plan to do these, please leave a link back to your post in my comments so I can see your answers. :)

    i am the pilot of this dream

    I originally posted this about 4 years ago here. I just happened upon this post and thought I'd redo it since my answers have changed. You should do it too. Just use the bolded words in your own list OR use your own words. Leave me a comment if you decide to make your own list so I can stop through and read your list.
    1. I love hanging out with my friends. Doing random things. Enjoying meals. Walking around like we're in a video. Whatever.
    2. I wish I had a two bedroom apartment so that one room could be my office/studio. I feel like I'd be more productive and organized.
    3. I know that my Mr. is waiting for me around the bend. I just have to be patient and keep doing me. When the time is right, it'll happen. No need to be get all stressed and bent out of shape that he's not here yet. But, I may flick him in the forehead and ask him what took him so long.
    4. I appreciate the support that I get from my friends and customers. It warms my heart to know that someone believes in me and my product.
    5. I want my friends and those around me to be successful and happy. I want them to find what makes them happy.

    1. I love going to my friend's shows and supporting them as much as I can in their endeavors.

    2. I wish that I could have a day or two or three to chill with a friend(s) and just be, with no worries about ANYTHING.

    3. I know I'm going to be okay in the end, fixing this mess is just going to take some time.

    4. I appreciate the love that my friends show me and the help they've been giving me.

    5. I want to fall in love with that special someone over and over again.

    Hmmm...Very Interesting

    Happened across this tonight. Very interesting results...quite accurate. My comments in [bold]. Now you do...link link.Free personality analysis from ColorQuiz.com.Generated on Mon Sep 26 21:01:19 2005.

      • Needs warm companionship, but is intolerant of anything short of special consideration from those close to her. If this is not forthcoming, is liable to shut herself away from them. [Very much so...it's SUCKS being out here alone.]
        Feels that life has far more to offer and that there are still important things to be achieved--that life must be experienced to the fullest. As a result, she pursues her objectives with a fierce intensity that will not let go of things. Becomes deeply involved and runs the risk of being unable to view things with sufficient objectivity, or calmly enough; is therefore in danger of becoming agitated and of exhausting her nervous energy. Cannot leave things alone and feels she can only be at peace when she has finally reached her goal. [True, so true...but it's not alway apparent to those around me since I'm so laidback about it all.]
        The situation is preventing her from establishing herself, but she feels she must make the best of things as they are. [I'm not staying in this city...one year maybe two tops, why get comfy if I'm not staying...not that I'm not happy here, I'm just not staying.]Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity. [That's too funny...need some good loving...need to find a man. LOL]
        Wants interesting and exciting things to happen. Able to make herself well-liked by her obvious interest and by the very openness of her charm. Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. [I am rather charming...and well if you lived in my head you say my imagination has run wild...day-dreams...oh the day-dreams...]
        Has a fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants. This leads her to employ great personal charm in her dealings with others, hoping that this will make it easier for her to reach her objectives. [Yeah, yeah...I am scared that things won't happen for me...but they're somewhat out of my control...can't do much about that, can I?]
